CRYSTAL CASTLES HIT OZ

Crystal Castles have been around the electro scene for a few years now and the duo, Ethan and Alice, have finally decided to make their first trek to Australia to play a few shows round the country. They will be playing a gig in Sydney this Sat December 15 at the Oxford Art Factory, as well as shows in Melbourne and Brisvegas. Tickets are still available through moshtix

I've posted one of their newish tracks which is... well when asked what their music sounds like their reply was , "It's like snakes fucking"... and yeah, i guess it has a certain reptile fornicating zing to it...... this complete randomness of Crystal Castles is why I'm pretty pumped to see what they pull out of the bag in a live setting, that and the fact they are named after She-Ra the Princess of Power's fortress in the sky. I've also included a couple of remixes; a recent Bloc Party one and an old favourite from The Little Ones that everyone should have in their collection.

Crystal Castles - Crimewave (Crystal Castles vs Health remix)

Bloc Party - Hunting for Witches (Crystal Castles remix)

The Little Ones - Lovers Who Uncover (Crystal Castles remix)

THE VILLAINS REMIX AROUND THE WORLD

Everyone loves a good Daft Punk remix. However, there are hundreds of songs in the Daft Punk Remix category which resemble a marmot farting, and they have to be endured in the search for a splendid one. So when a good electro remix comes along, and of AROUND THE WORLD no less, it gives me a bit of a reccy.

The Villains are a trio from LA, who started out in the industry as audio engineers and are now having a punt at the odd track themselves. They have also completed a remix of Bloc Party's HUNTING FOR WITCHES which I've posted below. It isn't quite as good as the Daft Punk remix, but they gave it a red-hot go.

Thanks, and goodnight

NEW VIDEO FOR BLOC PARTY - FLUX

Above is the film clip for the new Bloc Party song, FLUX. It's pretty awesome. It kind of reminds me of an episode of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.

I'm pretty into this new song. It's a lot more electro influenced than their past songs, which might be an indication of where they are trying to take the band.
