As NYE gets closer the chaos intensity keeps doubling up in size day by day, it feels like a cactus thorn penetrating my belly button, I have a traveling plan to financially figure, flights & hotel to book, best of 08 lists to build (that I'm not sure I'll manage to), 3 days of obligatory continuous help shopping, family gathering/brunch, staying with dad at the hospital for his eye treatment, formatting & re-installing windows, fighting with negligent advertisers, preparing tweakage for Ohh!Crapp..., dealing with overseas money transfer delay, helping out 2 of my favorite artists to release their next EPs & worst of all finding time to shave and get my hair trimmed + catch up with neglected friends in Blog's favor.
In other words, there have been so many things going at once and still are that prevent me from doing proper posts lately & I would've apologized for the cut back but it's really not my fault!
So for throughout December whenever I don't have time to do a proper post, I will be instead updating this post with new remixes at every chance, so keep checking back here.
For a starter I've had this awesome remix that I've been sitting on for a few weeks now & It's by that dude we love who mustards thick delicious bass over his reworks, I think it's about time to cross Guilty Pleasure off my list & let you enjoy this with me.
01/Dec
♫ Mini Viva - Left My Heart In Tokyo (Fred Falke Dub Mix)
♫ MGMT - Of Birds, Moons & Monsters (Modernaire Remix)
Alavi found the whole December Chaos syndrome true & amusing, he even sent a photo of his Bedroom/Studio in its state of December... think you can top this?

ARRRGH Fucking Rancid Period Blood & Skid marks covered Granny Underwear Chewing ISP... I'm on a 10 minutes disconnection loop - meaning, I have to unplug the modem every 10 minutes wait for 10 second, plug it back in wait for it to test for a couple minutes then connect again to be able to stay online for another 10 minutes & It's been like that for over 2 days now... I'm adding 'Switch To A Different Internet Provider ASAP' to December's chaos list.. FUCKKK.
I think killing people should be legalized in rare cases or even suicide but that's not an option for me specially since Daft Punk, The Rapture, Crystal Castles are already working on their next albums (among others)... that's not the point, ahh I think my good luck no longer exists.. I think it dissolved mid Nov & the bad luck is just getting more buffed up day by day... I seriously don't want to end this year badly.
I have to go and buy myself as many pairs of shoes as possible next week, maybe that will make me feel better... ahh, Creative Recreation <3 style="font-size:85%;">
03/Dec
♫ Van She - Kelly (M83 Remix)
♫ Keane - Perfect Symmetry (FRANKMUSIK Remix)
♫ CSS - Let's Reggae All Night (Peter Makebish & Patrick Quade Remix)
♫ Curses! - The Deep End (ft. Nancy of 'LCD Soundsystem/Juan Maclean') (Holy Ghost! Day School Dub)
♫ Ladyhawke - Dusk Till Dawn (Terrestrial Super Receiver Remix)
4 days into Dec and still no signs of Good Luck anywhere around, the 10 minutes disconnection loop still remains (I reckon the only solution would be formatting my computer - but that might not work too)... So, I'm trying a method that never failed me before, that is 'Being Optimistic' & respond to the spits on my face with the biggest I-DONT-GIVE-A-DAMN smile i can offer.
Looking at myself actually made me realize i have it better than most of the people i know here on the most boring island in the universe, I've actually managed to create my own world & make it real & working for my benefit (that should be a story for another time) but hey in every misfortune there is a window to a better unexpected twist.
I was supposed to go to Dubai on the 17th of this month but the person I was going with decided she wants to spend the money instead on parties during Dec & then cover it with the excuse 'I'm Broke' which i totally allowed it to pass because pushing the trip to January not only will save me money since the holidays will be over = less flights/hotels rates!
Now that i have extra cash, my mission is to buy 5 pairs of shoes (at least) & get my Justice skinny jeans ordered in!
BTW, have you seen the new Fan Death, La Roux, LCD Soundsystem, Don Rimini official videos?
Tomorrow I'm going to format my PC, wish me luck - i hope this bastard loop dies by then.
PS. Someone I thought trusted me did something very sneaky today - He shall be punished for it.
04/Dec
♫ Sebastien Tellier - Kilometer (Moulinex Remix)
♫ White Lies - To Lose My Life (Filthy Dukes Remix)

10 Minutes loop remains, but I have a strong feeling in my gut telling me today will be a slightly better day!? It's still 7:26am.. So we'll see about that....
8:03pm, Pretty normal day.. I spent it backing up my HDs preparing for the deadly Format tomorrow since non o f the methods i tried solved the 10 minutes loop (frustration) - but on other hand a tangible improvement luck wise occurred or maybe it's just a prank by karma? I'll have to wait till tomorrow to find out.. there's something I'm waiting for.
Anyhoo, did you guys know there's a Maroon 5 Remix album coming out on the 9th of December - That shouldn't be a very exciting thing since major label choose lousy now-expired house names to retouch their releases but this time among the trash you'll find reworks by Mark Ronson, Of Montreal, Deerhoof & even a 7 minutes slow house burner by our beloved Cut Copy!
05/Dec
♫ Bumblebeez - Zulu (Bumblebeez In My House Remix)
♫ Digitalism - Echoes (Siriusmo Remix)
♫ Maroon 5 - This Love (Cut Copy Galactic Beach House Mix)
♫ Clubfeet - Teenage Suicide
Does anyone out there know exactly what's the deal with the Muscles vs. Modular brawl?
I hope the formatting process goes smoothly, I seriously miss staying online for longer than 10 minutes a time.
So today was supposed to be my salvation day where I format my PC, re-install the OS.. install my modem.. enter my user/pass combo, hit connect & stay online for hours but the minute i placed my butt on the chair I realized I had a problem... I need to backup 500GB worth of documents/music before i can do that!
At this point I'm just desperate to get my relationship with the internet back on track, my modem & keyboard suffered enough domestic violence & I'm willing to change... So I bought an external storage for 180$ & I'm transferring everything to it right now, TOMORROW I shall format & have everything back to normal.
Also, I seriously need to start compiling my best of lists - I haven't even started, but it shall keep me busy during format/installation tomorrow.
PS. Do any of you know any awesome online shops to get rad t-shirts from & ay place to still find some of those Justice D.A.N.C.E. video t-shirts?
06/Dec
♫ CSS - Beautiful Song (CSS Remix)
♫ La Roux - Quicksand (Beni's Sinking At 1.56 Mix)
♫ Evil Nine - All The Cash (ft. El-P) (Alex Metric Remix)
Umm.. You know how today was supposed to be the day where I format my fucking PC and finally get back to normal separated posts posting? Well... turns out to do that I'd need a Windows CD, which i have but unfortunately my brother have given to his friend who lost it. This is seriously the wrongest month for all this to happen - I just feel unmotivated & kinda hating my blog right now.
The only thing that's keeping me updating is the fact that I'm finding a bunch of great gems everyday so worth of sending your way, you know.. you are all like my kids, I love you and I wanna take care of you.
Tune of the day sounds like a production more than a remix, It's the Fred Falke remix of Grace the second single from Will Young's latest album Let It Go. I've been known for being in love with Young's voice, heck I even love many of his songs. Without exaggerating, I think this is (on a mainstream scale) the only full vocal Fred Falke remix that i would consider quality since his of Whitest Boy Alive. The first time i heard it i just said to myself "This Is So Right"; I don't want to diss Falke here but there have been a handful of disposable remixes by him lately where his work sounded a bit uninspired, it felt like rushed in products of cash - less is more sometimes & everyone is entitled to have his own opinion.
07/Dec
♫ Will Young - Grace (Fred Falke Remix)
♫ Heartsrevolution - Ultraviolence (Les Petits Pilous Remix)
♫ Cut Copy - Hearts On Fire (Goose Flesh Remix)
♫ The Teenagers - Feeling Better (Doc Ron Remix)
OMG! This just in: I managed to get a Windows CD - Formatting Right now... wish me luck.
External HD 180$
Pirated Windows CD 6$
New Modem 36$
Technician from the phone company asking me "Which one is the modem?" PRICELESS
I give up, the 10 minutes loop is still here even after i formatted my PC, installed a fresh windows, replaced the mode with a new one & asked for professional help - nothing fixed it.
I'll just shut up, pretend like this doesn't bother me & pray tonight for this to be fixed because i think this problem needs at least the powers of Jesus for it to be solved - Jesus saves, save me Jesus.
Obviously I don't have the option of doing multiple posts, so I will just continue updating this one on a daily basis - consider it your December mp3 calendar, I've changed the blog settings so this post only shows on the main page for a faster loading.
BTW, the 3 winners of the Digitalism 'Taken Away' Remix Competition have been announced on the Digitalism Myspace Blog, they are ULTRNX, Popular Damage & Gooseflesh - I'm kind of bummed out coz the Tokio Tokima remix didn't win!

Today I've had a 20 minutes worth of DeJaVus in under an hour which i can't decide whether that's a good sign or bad... I have an appointment to get my haircut today at 9pm & it's 1:53pm & I don't want to risk ruining my mood over the 10 minutes loops & I need to clean my room & take a shower & go get my laundry & & & & &... & i have tons of remixes dropped into my inbox but no time to download them and filter the bad ones out, instead I'll just keep posting one every half an hour until 9pm - So this is the excuse that I'm making, is it good enough for what you're paying?

Any help much appreciated in the hunt for correct mp3 tagging.
It said that it is a remix on their myspace.. and ZUlU has been remixed before by radioclit so i'm guessing this is their own remix of their track.

Hai. check out sixpack for banging t shirts tbh :) Urban outfitters normally has some good prints as well.... Loving the blog by the way. See you on Erol's :D

^^ actually:
http://hypem.com/list/4244
Will Young - Grace (Fred Falke Remix) is good music.
http://frequencyjones.blogspot.com
GOLDSKULL those T-shirts are actually really good but I live in the UK so wouldn't be able to get one..
Nice blog as usual, thanks!
MACKROY,
if you look in the "retailers" section of the IMAGINARY FOUNDATION website, you can find places that sell the shirts all over the world...maybe give that a try?
Burns's remix of EOTS is quite awesome indeed.
And I thought I was special, being so busy and all. I've walked away with about a track from each post down and their STILL banging in my skull. I fuckin' loooooove this blooooog!
I think I might be the only one who isn't completely in love with LadyHawke though :(
Matt and Kim - Daylight (Remix by me)
http://www.zshare.net/audio/525228734704897b/
this blog rocks! these are the best xmas gifts ever!!
a quick question: do you have:
CSS: Move (Metronomy remix)??? or sb else?
Juxx's remix of Stardust is actually pretty awesome. Most remixes of Music Sounds Better With You sound like absolute shit, but he's done a sweet job here. This is the only quality remix, along with Miami Horror's take.
Thanks for the TPC remix, it's nice to hear someone besides RAC remix them (though I do love RAC's remixes of TPC).
i felt deeply touched by your disconnection catastrophe; my router has caught the same illness, i'm on a 30 minute disconnection loop though. god damn the internet! thanks for the amazing remixes though, i love this blog! :D
Whyyyy not directlinkssss pleaseeeeee
Ya'll stealing posts from other blogs mmhmm
if you find the aliesha dixon remix by fred falke your a hero
you mean the ones that are linked directly to the other blogs?
I like the same music you like... That is really badass.
We should all start a donation drive to buy Faisal new internet.
^^ LOL, Faisal already applied for a new internet service, should have it in few days. <
Thank you for posting the Bag Raiders remix, I've been anxiously awaiting it!!
falafels are as good as the Best Albums of 08 list will be
and it should include Empire Of The Sun.. don't care 'bout the haters !!
N.A.S.A. with Kanye West, Santogold & Lykke Li that,s fucking hot ! but too short :( lol your december post is awesome after all
thank you !
News from Royksopp finally!!
Check their official site!!!!!!!!!!
.what better xmas gift than that of a list of gorgeous remixes and tracks. i love you x

I had the exact same reaction to the Royksopp news!!! I totally OhhhCRAAPPPED in my pants!!! I've been looking forward to this album for years... its the album I'm most excited for in 2009.... can't wait!! =)
i sadly wouldn't be able to donate any money, cause i gave my last pound to a tramp on the streets earlier today aha. on more important matters; the bag raiders remix of far away is AMAZING! i love the whole cut copy involvement with this december post :D
THE ROYKSOPP NEW TRACK IS UPPPPPPPPPP
