I’ve been inhaling toxic cleaning chemicals like whoa this week trying to move out of my old apartment, and I’m exhausted. Trying to launch a software package while spending all my time cleaning and moving and not sleeping kinda sucks. So lets see what I have in store for this week.
Chromeo has always been one of those love/hate relationships. As in sometimes they put out some good material, but I normally just can’t quite bring myself to be a fan. I’ve heard a few tracks from the new album and I have to say, I don’t hate them. In fact I might even like them! There’s a few different remixes Fancy Footwork floating around, but this one happens to be my favorite:
Chromeo - Fancy Footwork ( thomas barford remix)
Visit Chromeo on MySpace but, for the love of god, DON’T go to their homepage — its one of the most annoying fucking things on the interwebs.
Next up, Kissy Sell Out:
He’s quietly turned into one of my favorite producers/remixers/deejays/etc… I’ve used both a remix of his “Keanu Reeves” and his remix of The Loose Cannons - “Raw” many a times now (including in my most recent deejay mix). He’s a college student from the UK and continues to hammer out solid tracks and remixes and has my official Hacks Seal of Approval© (wtf is that?.. hell if I know). Here’s a remix he did a little while back of “We Are Rockstars”. He just kills it.
Does It Offend You Yeah? - We Are Rockstars(Kissy Sellout Remix)
You can check out his deejay mixes here:

Last up I’ve got one hell of a banger remixed by Surkin off of City Slang
Justine Electra - Killalday(Surkin Remix)
The first time I heard this my ears perked up, my head starting nodding and my hand did the “ball into a fist rocking out motion” I do (if you’ve seen it, you know what I’m talking about). Crunchy and bouncy with a tweaked out vocal sample that drops in when the moment is just right. mmm fun. You can check out Justine Electra’s upcoming release here
And he’s cool
Ok, back to setting up this server. Have a good weekend kids.
