Bart B More Remix of Florrie’s Call 911

Apologies for the slow updates, but I have been crazy busy this summer. It is summer right? You wouldn’t know it in San Francisco. Well, I’m coming across some hot remixes that are keeping the dance floor sweaty. I promise to post more soon.

Tastes Like Caribou

The new album Swim, from Caribou, was released this week and although it’s a good album and reminds me a little of the Knife’s earlier work, it’s not a dance album. Dan Snaith (Caribou), talks about making the new dance album in a Pithchfork article.

I got excited by the idea of making dance music that’s liquid in the way it flows back and forth, the sounds slosh around in pitch, timbre, pan… Dance music that sounds like it’s made out of water, rather than made out of metallic stuff like most dance music does.

I like the concept, but there isn’t one track that is going to get a dance floor moving, unless it’s the end of the night and you want the floor to be moving it’s way to the door.

Daydreaming Playlist


It’s been a while since I put out a playlist and I wanted to share some new mixes and artists with you. A couple of songs you may have already heard, like the TV spot favorite Sweet Disposition by the Temper Trap or Miike Snow’s Sylvia, but I thought the remixes were worthy of posting.

Uffie is the Shit!


If you’re not familiar with Uffie, you should be. Ke$ha knocked off her earlier sound, dating back to 2006, but this new track is hot and a departure from her previous work. The track ADD SUV is produced by french producer Mirwais and features Pharrell Williams. Her upcoming album titled, Sex, Dreams and Denim Jeans will be out on May 31st . The album title reminds me of those banned Calvin Klein Jeans commercials from the 90s.

Scissor Sisters Can See An Invisible Light

I am digging the Stuart Price produced new track from the Scissor Sisters . I loved their version of Pink Floyd’s Comfortably Numb and the new track, Invisible Light, from their upcoming album “Night Work”, has a very Pink Floyd sound to it. I hope this is a sign of the direction of the new album.

Prison Penguin Remix of Jack Penate’s So Near

Another rainy day in San Francisco and this song fits the mood. The original is a little mellow, for my taste, but Prison Penguin remixes it to perfection.

Dan Black’s UN has it’s North American release today and it’s worth checking out. The song Goreki Fix Up My Girlfriend Some More is a blend of  Prince’s If I Was Your Girlfriend and a piece from composer Henryk Gorecki which creates a very cinematic song and is from his mixtape Weird Science.

Welcome Back Major Tom

Some of you might know the original Peter Schilling 1984 version of Major Tom (Coming Home) which was a retelling of David Bowie’s 1969 Space Oddity. Well now it’s 2010 and Shiny Toy Guns have given us a good version. You might recognize the song from a crappy car commercial but I won’t hold it against them, gotta make money somehow. What I wanna know is, what year they were at Burning Man when this photo was taken?

The Knife is Releasing an Opera Album

Video excerpt from Hotel Pro Forma’s opera Tomorrow, In A Year

I have been a big fan of The Knife since a friend introduced me to their sophomore album, Deep Cuts, back in 2004. They recently collaborated with Mt. Sims and Planningtorock to compose music for the Danish performance group Hotel Pro Forma’s Darwin themed opera based on the book On the Origin of the Species. They are going to release the studio album of the opera Tomorrow, In A Year digitally in February followed by the hard copy in March. It should be interesting and I hope some remixes are produced, bringing some of the albums songs to the dance floor.

They released a free download of the eleven minute song “Colouring of Pigeons” this week.

Blame it on the Pop or Blame it on DJ Earworm

I blame the fact that this mashup keeps playing in my head on DJ Earworm. Not only because it’s catchy and danceable, but because I’ve been hearing it blasting from the room next to me for the last month during it’s creation. There are some truly awful songs, cough, cough, um Miley Cyrus, in the mix and Earworm was able to make them into a great mashup that’s gonna make a lot of dance floors happy come this New Years Eve. So when Billboard gives you a bunch of rotten lemons, let Earworm take the top 25 of them and make it into something amazing that will make your mouth water and your ears lust for more.

Sky Ferreira x Skeet Skeet’s Happy Dre

“I need a fix cause I’m goin’ down”. Seventeen year old Sky Ferreira and DJ Skeet Skeet mix it up with Sky singing The Beatles’ Happiness is a Warm Gun laid over some Dr. Dre to create a memorable song that keeps repeating in my head.
