The Another World.. According to The Chemical Brothers

I have just brought the new EP from The Chemical Brothers.
It is very sweet. They have loads of new electro/house synths and drum sounds.
They don't have a lot of those old school hip hop beats anymore, and that's a bit a shame, I think.
NOTE: It's only the radio edit that is on the EP. Not the original track, unfortunately..

I was a bit sad that the original "Swoon" wasn't on the EP, because of the remixes of it and it's a wonderful track, but.. well.. that's not the end of the world.

When it comes to the Boys Noize Summer Remix of "Swoon" my mind was blown.
He's very classic remixing style with the piano sample, really fit to the track, and makes it not only electronic, but a bit popped too. Sometimes that is good, and sometimes that is bad.. In this case, it's VERY GOOD!

The Lindstrøm and Prins Thomas remix of "Swoon" was.. well.. my opinion is that it was okay, but I'm not very much into the norwegian electronic music. I think it's a bit too popped. But the remix had some very good basslines and synths, so it wasn't bad.

And finally, the Horse Power remix by Popof.
Sweet track. Minds very much of Erol Alkan of Boys Noize. Very nice bass, cool synths and ass kicking drums! I really, really like it.

Buy it here at iTunes!

Time for some Stardust remix!

I was surfing around some Stardust videos on YouTube, and found these two mixes:
Stardust - Music Sounds Better with You [DiscoTech Mix]



Stardust - Music Sounds Better with You [On Off On Remix]



I was like "Wow". I really haven't heard a remix of Music Sounds Better with You.
And these two are truly AMAZING!
After hearing the first remix, I listened to a lot other remixes. But I really didn't liked then in the same way as the DiscoTech remix. I thought they didn't had enough of the original in it.
Then I felt over the On Off On mix.. That was almost better than the DiscoTech mix.
So I just posted both of them, so you can choose your favorite.
