Sad News from The Knife Camp

After much speculation, Resonator’s favorite musicians have called it quits. The sister/brother duo have decided to work on seperate projects. “We’ve come to a place where we have to follow different roads, creatively.” While Olav has suggested that Kerin will probably guest on his next record, the pair have no interest in furthering the project we’ve come to know and love.

The Knife are monkeys

In tribute, here is the sweetest version of “Marble House” other than the live one, the haunted house waltz of the PTR remix. Honestly, I’d say more, but this hits me harder than I expected, given how much speculation that this day would happen has gone ’round the set of tubes.

The Knife are penguins

Here’s a remix of the first song I ever heard by The Knife… Hacks had just picked me up from the airport and we were heading back to the old Resonator office in Atlanta. Shaun and he had been caning Deep Cuts like crazy, and the promo of Silent Shout was still a few weeks away from arriving in the mail. At the time, no one would have suspected that they were going to blow up like they did… Here’s the Emmon remix of “Take My Breath Away” to the memory of more innocent times.

Remix Friday Week 10 (Dedicated to Exit the Dog)

Exit Wound

I had to bring Wrecks the Dog* in for surgery on Weds, and to honor him I wanted to post up some real Rex the Dog remixes. I realize we here at Resonator have already posted a lot of them at one point or another, but with our server switch in February (amongst other reasons) we lost all our old archive of mp3s. So here are a few of classic ones for your re-listening pleasure:

Classic mix of heartbeats; only topped by the live BBC mix that The Knife themselves did.

The Knife - Heartbeats (Rex The Dog Remix).mp3

Poptronica? Nice little remix taking the pop sound of The Sounds and then adding the classic Rex the Dog twist to it. I love this remix, though I think you have to not hate The Sounds to enjoy this.

The Sounds - Tony the Beat (Rex The Dog Mix)

Used in my ZOMG Deejay Mix (I’ve got another in the works, I promise I’ll stop plugging this one) –its pretty stellar.

Walter Meego - Through a Keyhole (Solid Groove & Sinden mix)

Solid Groove being another moniker of our man Switch , and Walter Meego being a cool trio from Chicago. I first heard the original of this a long while ago, and was totally in love with the silky smooth synths and the uniqueness of their vocal timbre. This remix takes the lushness of the original and mashes it together with a raw and gritty sound that I’m a fan of.

*His real name is Exit, but he was dubbed that since he enjoys trying to jump on my mixer while mixing, causing more than a few train wrecks.
