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

Culture Whores — Sat, 22 May 2010 15:50:40 +0000

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.

Caribou – Odessa

Hot Chip remix from and older song from the previous Caribou album Andorra.

The Odessa video is a bit too “art student meandering through the woods a with a video camera, who then loves to use cross fades in the editing room” for me. It’s such a good song, and with the right video, it could have gone viral and given the band some exposure.

Daydreaming Playlist

Culture Whores — Wed, 05 May 2010 20:13:05 +0000

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!

Culture Whores — Tue, 04 May 2010 03:27:59 +0000

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.
