Happy Pills!
Remixes are like pills.. some taste good & some don't but either ways they make us feel better.. So i decided to prescribe a cocktail of my favorite drugs every few weeks to help you against boredom & mondays! soo here's the first installment of many to come.. hope you like it!


DL: Calvin Harris - Merrymaking At My Place (Kissy Sell Out Remix)
probably kissy's next best remix after the All saints "Chick Fit" adventure, stuttery as usual and randomly stringy with loud gooey glitches allover just like he knows we like it!


DL: Dragonette - Take It Like A Man (Felix Cartel Remix)
If u don't know felix cartel, he creates dark techno like electronic dance music & it's always thumping hard and fully fuel driven machine-like loud, with its raging downtempo bass line & drilling buzzers this would perfectly fit as a dub on a vampire in space movie + you can negatively rave to it for 5 minutes.

DL: Just Jack - Starz In Their Eyes (Trophy Twins Remix)
It's like an improved version of the original song rather than a remix, more instruments, extended & has a smooth gluey woofered bass. It's more of a "House" than "dance" remix. Perfect for get togethers & lounging.

DL: Mark Ronson - Stop Me (ft. D. Merriweather) (A Chicken Lips Malfunction)
Chicken lips is the alias name for "Peter Rauhofer" where he tones down his electronic dance intensity to a softer pop dance & on this one it will strongly remind you of the style of "Prince Language" with the spongy bleepy tones that sounds like mr. squarepants phone dialtone.

DL: Mika - Big Girl (You Are Beautiful) (Tom Middleton Remix)
This one should be played on those enormous speakers down at the monster truck circuit.. it sounds like a group of cheerleaders with big boobs being crushed under a wood grinder with milk splashing allover the audience.

DL: Sunfreakz - Counting Down The Days (ft. Andrea Britton) (Henrik B Remix)
This gotta end up on your best dance remixes list.. it contains almost less than 2% of the original vocals & sounds completely like a different song... very uplifting and suitable for your iPod, your car, Gym or to beat up your ass to it at the clubs. Progressive.

DL: The Black Ghosts - Any Way You Choose To Give It (Boy-8-Bit Version)
I love TBG and i think they're going to be as good as The Rapture & New Young Pony Club.. already the single been playing on repeat non stop here & all the remixes accompanied with it are just wonderful but this one is plain brilliance.. it only makes sense that Boy-8-Bit is an alias name/side project for Crystal Castles coz it sounds like their work & just as good too! this is the old days classic gameboy version of the song! it just screams ATARi.

DL: The Presets - Down, Down, Down (Digitalism Remix)
Down, down, down is sleazy enough itself.. with wet faggy yells as vocals & a crawling reptile like beat.. to make things even more indie driven and stronger "Digitalism" who by the way released their amazing album "Idealism" has pulled the track into further muddier water.

DL: Yoko Ono - You're the One (Bimbo Jones Main Mix)
Gotta say i can only imagine yoko ono going under a sex change surgery to become a man who dresses in drag and dances to this remix at night behind closed doors, i personaly haven't heard the original song but this remix is munchy, catchy and the beat just flows through out of it. it's the kinda remix you can listen to under any mood. classic.

Leave Feedback, Don't Leech & Get Well Soon!

Yeah, that Dragonette Remix is just nuts, it's so cool. That's right up my alley. Thanks a lot for that. I am one of three DJ's (technosexual-laptop-lovin, that is) and if you have some time to spare why not check our myspace page? It's not much since we're just a bunch of hedonistic art students but we'd surely appreciate your feedback or constructive criticism. ^_^
