Doctor Dru remix of Bedouin Soundclash's "Brutal Hearts"

Went very happy when I saw one of my fave producers Doctor Dru's remix of the musical gem Bedouin Soundclash's "Brutal Hearts" featuring Coeur De Pirate. The original came about two years ago and it is still as sweet. Now it's time to give this tune some sweet love from the doctor! Out August 5.



Take a look and listen to the sweet original too:

Techno pop Québécois

We posted the remix of French-Canadian singer/songwriter Coeur de Pirate's "Comme des Enfants" by fellow Québéqoises Le Matos a while back. Now Mademoiselle Pirate has returned Le Matos' favour by appearing on the new Le Matos track, another beautiful techno pop track:

Le Matos feat. Coeur De Pirate - How Do I Let You Know?

The first track I heard with Le Matos was their banging remix of Canadian (you guessed it!) rap group Omnikrom which surfaced eons ago by blog standards. I'm talking like 2007. You can really hear how their sound have changed from then.

Omnikrom - Prend Une Photo Avec Moi (Le Matos Mauviette Remix)

Here's more of Le Matos' trademark mix of techno, pop and nu italo (this one more towards melodic techno):

Le Matos - Quiet Earth

My favourite Le Matos has otherwise been the remix of this Numéro# track...

Numéro# - Star Modèle (Le Matos Poindexter Remix)

...which also has been remixed by Parisian techno DJ Don Rimini, who played in Stockholm a couple of weeks back.

The Hoff still loves you

It's Valentine's Day, in case you've missed it, so I thought I'd post some love songs. It's not really a top 10, more like 10 tracks from the top of my head (or Winamp rather). I've chosen some more uptempo tracks to make your heart beat faster for several reasons.

The Concretes - Keep Yours (Pacific! Remix)

BMX - Refero Beach

Bikini - Tonight

Sally Shapiro - He Keeps Me Alive

Coeur De Pirate - Comme Des Enfants (Le Matos Andy Carmichael Remix)

Anoraak - Nightdrive With You

Hellogoodbye - Here (In Your Arms) (Young Americans Remix)

Cut Copy - Out There On The Ice

Whitest Boy Alive - Golden Cage (Fred Falke Remix)

The last one is my favourite track at the moment; French electro funk maestro Breakbot's remix of Swedish indietronica act Pacific!. I slept on this one, missing the first few appearences in the blogosphere in June last year, and the (moderate) hype in December. Complete with trademark basslines and piano melodies, it's a true gem. 27 plays in the last seven days according to Last.fm says it all...

Pacific! - Hold Me (Breakbot Remix)
