Britney Spears remixes Friday

So I posted that Britney Spears remix as a bonus in the last post because I know you guys have been longing for more B-rit here on Tracasseur. Which also is the reason why I declared this Friday "Britney Spears remixes Friday" when tweeting the last post.

Actually, that's half true. Being in a DJ duo with Jonny sometimes makes us quarrelling like a married couple.  One thing we argue about is whether it's ok to play Britney remixes. Me, being slightly more ironic and slightly less self-concious, love seeing hipsters dancing to a track and then freeze for a second when the lovely (?) voice of Ms Spears start streaming from the speakers.

Irony being one thing, I also truly believe that crap music is always better than no music, and that all music has a point if you just put it in the right perspective. Listening to techno and drum-n-bass in the mid 90s the music I hated the most was Eurodisco like Corona or Hadaway. After listening through all the Italo disco of the 80s, and adding the emerging techno scene of the early 90s, the music that I hated back then gets a romantic shimmer over it, and all of a sudden starts to make sense. So, hipsters beware; whatever you hate right now, you might love ten years away from now with equal parts irony and nostalgia.

Well, that was the long version. Actually, the simple reason why I write this post is to share one of my current faves; Pelifics bootleg of "Till the World Ends" that I rediscovered like a week ago.

So, with the risk of losing half our readers:

Neo Tokyo remix of Pony Pony Run Run

Latest remix from fine Welshman Neo Tokyo. Always top grade when making the remixes. This time it's of the French nowadays trio Pony Pony Run Run, who released the single "Walking On A Line" earlier this year. The band members of Pony Pony Run Run are named with only one letter to make it easy, the trio are G, A and T.

New Neo Tokyo remix of Chew Lips

Our friend Neo Tokyo from Wales has come up with a new fine remix of Chew Lips' "Slick". The most danceable remix yet of this track. Neo Tokyo always makes great remixes, therefore he's one of our favourite remixers out there.

Chew Lips - Slick (Neo Tokyo Remix)

Chew Lips are a three-piece band from London producing dance pop in a great way. They've just released their debut "Unicorn". Female singer Tig got that voice that reminds you of The Golden Filter, Roisin Murphy or Goldfrapp. Here's "Slick" as original and with the other remixes that exists so far.

And as a bonus if you want to know Chew Lips more, here's the video for "Karen" plus the track.

Plasma + Digitalfoxglove

So, after the coldest winter in decades, and after ticking off spring in a few days, summer has finally hit Stockholm. I took the chance to spend the weekend out in the archipelago to charge the batteries before heading back to the blog mines. Ah, who am I kidding? Blogging is pretty smooth sailing for Tracasseur. Not least since we have a staff of a thousand monkeys to write for us. Just tell them what you have listened to recently, and they come up with these interesting and funny posts.

Today we're happy to bring you Tracasseur favourite Digitalfoxglove's brand new remix of Plasma's "Crazy". Plasma is a trio hailing from Chur, Switzerland who makes energetic dance punk. You'll have the chance to check them out when they play at Open Air in St. Gallen on June 26.

Pete's DFG remix is literally a couple of hours old and we're happy that he wanted to share it exclusively with our readers. The original is a couple of months old though, and great remixes by the familiar faces of I'm not a Band and Neo Tokyo have been out there for a while.

Neo Tokyo remixes

As we wrote earlier this week, one of the remixers on Edwin Van Cleef's "Overtaken EP" is welshman Neo Tokyo. He's also responsible for this great Phoenix remix, which (stop the presses!) is not of "1901". Mr Tokyo take the french trash-electro sound but evolve it by using cleaner synths and then cutting it all up to the point when it sounds you're play. Hmm, wonder where my old Amiga 500 is...
