Superhumanoids are set to release one hell of a debut ep, Urgency, next week on Oh! Inverted World Records. These guys aren’t just a solid band with a solid ep under their belts, though. They’re also quite the remixers. Here’s an awesome remix they’ve done of Local Native’s “Who Knows, Who Cares.” collage art by: Jeffrey Meyer |

The Spires’ Curved Space EP has had some serious playback in my car over the past couple weeks. Like I mentioned before, they’ve got this refreshingly simplistic lo-fi pop sound that makes for an EP that I can’t get enough of. It’s not officially out until July 13th, but in addition they will also be releasing Absent Minded Window Gazing, a five-song collection of tracks from Curved Space, that have been reimagined and remixed by the mysterious Grafton. It’s fantastic! Grafton, whoever he/she is, has given The Spires’ songs a whole new feeling and mood. With minimalistic industrial soundscapes and fuzzy undertones, Absent Minded Window Gazing is the perfect companion for those late-night drives. Here’s the original track, “Curved Space,” along with Grafton’s remix. |

I just got into Van She recently while working on my latest mixtape. They’ve been making noise in the blogosphere ever since their 2008 effort V with some awesome remixes. They covered everyone’s favorite Blue Oyster Cult song, “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” a while back. Here’s Holy Ghost!’s remix…..It’s great! |

Foals‘ new album Total Life Forever is set to release May 10th, and to give us a sneak peak they’ve released a pretty epic video for “Spanish Sahara”, and are offering up a free download of a Mount Kimbie remix from their website. I’m a big fan of what these guys do guitarically (if I may make up a word), and I’m glad to see they’re keeping the unison, echo-driven, duel-guitar riffs around for this next album. For those of you who haven’t heard these guys before, give their last album Antidotes a listen to prepare yourself for the new album. I have high hopes. |

The Remix Artist Collective (RAC) are three guys based separately out of Portugal, New York and The Netherlands who seem to be on a mission to take your average, everyday Pitchfork-darling bands and spice them up a little, make them more fun, exciting and ready to be danced to by you and your too-thin hipster friends. Instead of the usual remixes you can easily find all over the internets by French dudes in their fancy studios (ahem – Thin White Duke – ahem) using Garageband to create some gawd-awful milquetoast remix of The Killers “Human” (Now with more reverb!), RAC takes something from Ra Ra Riot, U2, Teagan and Sara or The Gossip and adds their own sweet synth beats (among other things) with the blessing of the original artists themselves. The “collective” will work on tracks separately or together, sending them through cyberspace to each other to work on until they’re perfect. They last released a little four-track ep in December ‘09, but another is promised soon, and when you get tired of the ep, check out their older work, all available to download for HERE.
