Returners Week

It's been a long time, hasn't it? I've been on a bit of a dubstep fuelled journey the last few months, and I thought that rather than filling this blog with Lung and Roqqert tunes, I'd just wait for some electro bangers to crop up.

Luckily, 2010 has provided in a BIG way. Not only do we have Danger's new album cropping up, and a few tasty remixes and, ahem, tasters floating around courtesy of his generous nature, we've also got Miss Goulding making all kinds of power moves (finally), and a bunch of previously banging electro heads getting their act back together and bringing the NOIZZEEEE...
Oh, and Russ Chimes is responsible for possibly the best remix of Ellie Goulding to date. It's all over the blogosphere, for very good reason.
So I have returned from my dubstep exile to revel in new electronic goodies. Happy days pour moi.

Anyway, nobody goes on a blog for the writing, so here's my three favourite tunes of the last... I don't know, 3 months or whatever it is since I got off my arse and did a blog-a-log. Get in.

This first one was huge a couple months back, and I've still not got bored of it - full on bass-powered electro. Great remix of an already classic tune. Most producers can't improve on Daft Punk's brilliance, but Algeronics turns it into something really special. One for the dancefloors!

Daft Punk - Digital Love (Algeronics Remix)

Actually, you know what, here's a cheeky bonus - another top remix of a Daft Punk track (who would have thought it was possible?). This one comes from that man Cassian - formerly CSK OK - and is a bit more funked up and disco-ish. Still banging though.

Daft Punk - High Life (Cassian's Bootleg)

Just a quick diversion - if you haven't checked out electro-mastermind Phonat's album (ST) yet, then get involved. It's all chopped up beats with big rhythmic drums and grimey/flashy synths. It's all very good. There's a few tracks floating about here. As usual.


But to finish up the tracks bit - how about this one from left-field. Never heard of Renegade before, but he dished out promos 'Pilot' and 'Convict' recently and they are both massive. Danger/Redial fans should definitely take note, that French Electro just keeps getting better, although this time it's thanks to the Swedes.

Renegade - Pilot

Big shouts to Aeroplane's remix of the Doves, and to pretty much anything Bestrack has ever produced. Would have stuck them on the list but I had to stop somewhere.

But...just because I love dubstep.
The two best tunes of the past month or so, for me, come from two Cardiff based boys - Lung. and Tolerance. Tolerance's 'Chamber of Secrets' comes a close second only to 'Afterlife' for sheer bassed-out bliss filled floaty light awesomeness. x10000. Think Phaeleh and L-Wiz an you're probably on the right lines. Or going in circles, if you don't know who they are.

Big love guys, x.
Enjoy.
