Remind me.

Hey everyone.


Whilst making a playlist for a friend of mine, consisting of some new tracks I'd recently laid my hands on, my interest was peaked by how a few of them reminded me immediately of other songs. It's not necessarily obvious - or maybe even real - but it sure does make a nice combination.
So, when I first heard this -




I thought of this right away.




And when I finally got my hands on this -




Well.




Phil.


(Oh, and pre-order Kavinsky's new EP here, okay?)

Gorillaz (Alex Metric + Louis La Roche Remixes)

Gorillaz' comeback single "Stylo" was a bit of a damp squib in its original form, but these two remixes from man of the moment Alex Metric and blog favourite Louis La Roche more than make up for it. Louis' version is a slow chugging beat, revolving around a sampled funk riff with the odd vocal snippet thrown in, while Alex goes for a much more epic approach, starting out with a simple beat and chorus chant, before getting Moroder-y as fuck, then finally plunging head first into a full-on disco onslaught.





Keep it funky,
Joe
