I’m always happy to see mails from Death To The Throne in my inbox. Not only because of his excellent remixes, but also his extremely funny emails make me smile every time (check older blog posts). Here’s another one, I’ll just copy & paste it for you, kiddos:
“now, of all the random thoughts that enter my head from time to time, these two might be the most relevent in explaining why i made this remix.
1. lykke li does not like drums / drummers.
2. man, i get a ton of myspace freind requests from 17 year old girls
what can also be relevent, are the two things i want in life
1. to be lykke li’s touring drummer.
i can clap and hit a woodblock from time to time. where’s my fat touring drummer check?
2. i want more friend requests from jailbait
20 a day just isn’t enough. does this violate my probation?
PLUS. the first blog to post this remix, wins this awesome football phone.”
Amazing, both the email and the remix. Although I have no high hopes to win that football phone because Death To The Throne is always interwebbing when I’m sleeping, I’ll post it up anyway. Enjoy, kiddos.
Lykke Li (Kings Of Leon Cover) – Knocked Up (Death To The Throne Remix)
Been out shooting photos with my new phone’s camera. While I was wandering around in my garden, it suddenly started to rain. I managed to take a picture of a beatiful peony in the rain. This song came to my mind when I was browsing the photos on my MacBook. Not quite what you expected, kiddos?
Télépopmusik – Brighton Beach
Bonus: Mystery Jets – Half In Love With Elizabeth (Proxy Remix)
Hey kiddos, I think it’s time for another spotlight feature: Those of you who have been following my blog for some time should know French producers The Exo by now. Somewhere between Fischerspooner, Chromeo and Depeche Mode they are producing excellent material. Their tracks feature filtered retro lead synths, sweeping pads in the background and hammering bass drums. I’m really in love with these catchy melodies that make you feel happy immediately.
The Exo – Palais Royal
The Exo – Golden Slingshots
The Exo – The Pride Of Catalonia
They’ve also some remixes out, here are two they did for their compatriots High Powered Boys (Bobmo & Surkin) and mastermind Monsieur Oizo. I really like what they did to Oizo’s sick track Positif, adding a piano sample and throwing in bits and pieces of Bruce Willis Is Dead turned that track into a crazy monster.
Mr. Oizo – Positif (The Exo “What The Fuuuck” Remix)
High Powered Boys – Hoes Get Down (The Exo Remix)
Now go and show them some mySpace love, kiddos!
