Latest news from Heartbeats Management

Here are some of the latest news from one of the finest management and booking agency Heartbeats Management. Heartbeats is based in Barcelona and is run by Swede Sarah Hansson and she's doing an excellent job. The evidence of doing great stuff you can see by the roster of Heartbeats with acts as Fear of Tigers, Edwin Van Cleef, Worship, Bxentric, Clancy, Shelby Grey and Vicknoise. And now on to the latest news then:


News #1: Clancy & Build remix of LexiconDon
The dynamic duo of Clancy & Build are back with a danceable remix of LexiconDon's "Student Body" that is the second single from their newly released album "Pink + Blue". With a pumping beat, which they master superbly, they once again show the possibilities of this collaboration. LexiconDon's next single "Set Sail" will also be remixed by Clancy & Build and another Heartbeats fellow Worship. We'll let you know at the end of September.

News #2: Shelby Grey also remixes LexiconDon
Shelby Grey has also made a remix of LexiconDon's "Student Body". This remix is more into that tropical disco feeling.

John Talabot in Sweden

The latest rising star from Barcelona is John Talabot and tonight he makes his debut on Swedish ground. It's the fine disco club of Glasnost in Uppsala, who once again comes up with a fine booking. Except ourselves acts like Disco Bloodbath (UK), Serge Santiago (UK), diskJokke (NO), In Flagranti (US) and Ben Rymer (UK) have visited earlier.

John Talabot has come forward with disco and house on Permanent Vacation and other similar labels. The Spanish magazine Go Mag voted his release "Sunshine" as best Spanish single of the year. His alias is still surrounded by a lot of mystic but according to some pretty certain sources he's resident DJ on one of Barcelona's best clubs and known under a different alias within the world of techno.

If you are in the surroundings of Uppsala you should come to Glasnost. Tracasseur will be there!

If you think the poster above for the evening is great, I can tell you that it's really great and it's made by me :)

Steamin' hot remix from Danger of Acid Washed

While I was writing the last post about Anoraak we got another hot email from Record Makers that we just have to post immediately. It's a new Danger remix of the French duo Acid Washed self-titled track.

Acid Washed are as the write in the email "proud to announce the release of their eponymous 12" with remixes from The Hacker, Mickey Moonlight, Danger, Daniel Haaksman, Digikid84, Lazy Flow, Jungle Fiction and Stuff." And so they should, great song remixed by a bunch of great people. For example Danger, who needs no introduction, and his version of "Acid Washed". Pure good! Buy the whole release here.

Anoraak remix of Neon Indian

Got this new Anoraak remix of an older Neon Indian track named "Psychic Chasms". But it doesn't matter if the original track is about one-year old old when the remix is Anoraakingtastic!

The remix is featured on a new deluxe edition release of Neon Indian's "Psychic Chasms" now named "Mind Ctrl: Psychic Chasms Possessed". It contains nine remixes or versions of the featured tracks, for example remixes of Yacht and Dntel. Get it here.

Another thing that's Anoraakingtastic is the 360° video shot by Milosh Luczynski with 8 cameras to the first single "Above Your Head", a track that we posted a while back, from the delayed release of "Wherever the Sun Sets". New release date are set to September 21, still on naïve though.

Rosie and Me

It's not the love story of Rosie and me Jonny Puma, but instead it's the name of a folk pop group from Brazil!! Yep, Rosie and Me are hailing from Brazil influenced of the American folk music making their sound a little more unique.

Now you're maybe wondering why the electronic music blog of Tracasseur writes about folk pop suddenly. The story is kind of sweet (maybe a love story...) and it started out when singer Rosie emailed us wanted to be reviewed on Tracasseur and telling us of their influences of likes as Bon Iver, Stars and Band of Horses. Me, listening to that kind of music also, took a listen and liked what I heard. Unfortunately it would be kind of wrong to post only folk pop on Tracasseur even if we really can post whatever we want.

So even if the post wouldn't be made I had to answer her and tell that I really liked what I heard but we couldn't post it regarding our electronic direction. But I also asked her if they got a remix made of some of their tracks, because then we could kind of go around the problem and posting the remix along with the original track as we often do with a lot of remixes. Hurrah, there were one remix!

So she sent over a remix of "Come Back" made by a French DJ named Benwa. So now we could make a post. "Come Back" is one of the tracks from their self-released EP "Bird and Whale" (buy it here) and it's a pearl all the way, especially if you're into folk pop with sweet introspective lyrics, catchy melodies and soft female vocals. So now it's Rosie and Me...

"Har du varit STYGG?"

"Have you been bad?" is what the headline say in Swedish. And it's from Sweden the duo STYGG are. It's been quiet from STYGG for quite a while since the released their great track "Lunacy" in the early 2009. But now Johan Bring and David Strindberg are back with their new single "Sleep" released on Trewetha Records and available on iTunes and Spotify along with four remixes.

And speaking of the older track "Lunacy" here's a fine video directed by themselves with their producing agency Punx Sthlm along with the track and a remix. At their MySpace there are some other fine tracks to take a listen to.
