FAKER REMIXED

When you think of Faker tracks, the phrase "awesome-dance-floor-filler-club-tune" doesn't immediately spring to mind, and I'm sure the boys from the Sydney indie four-piece aren't exactly worried about their songs not getting thrashed in nightclubs. But with the recent success of their single "This Heart Attack" in Triple J's Hottest 100 (coming in at no. 5), I thought I would post some of the splendid remixes which have been done by some of the local talent over the last couple of months; it's always good to see the aussie bands supporting their fellow countrymen.

The first is from Sydney electro band Grafton Primary, who have a tonne of potential in the studio, and after hearing this remix (which is quite possibly their best work as far as I'm concerned) I'm really looking forward to hearing what they can churn out with their own projects. This track has an awesomely cheesy-synth sound to it which will make your pants move, (it almost reminds me of the original Axel F Beverly Hills Cop track) and has a killer breakdown about a minute in which is a real treat to drop mid set.

The next is by Melbourne DJ/Producer Miami Horror. This has a little bit more depth to it than most of his other remixes. Lots of high-freq synths and guitar samples, and sounds like smiles and sunshine; it will make for a happy dance floor... and again, awesome breakdown using the vocals track from the chorus of the original.

Both tunes, along with the original and another remix by Nick Littlemore (Pnau) side project Teenager are available to buy through iTunes.
