Around The World 4

You know what… I really dislike the art I did for this “Around The World” series, it was kind of a joke at first but now its just lame. Oh well, lame art or not, here are some tasty jams from around the globe.

Crash Overdrive hit me with a couple of tracks, an original and a remix, both of which are above-par. I’m a fan of comparing original tracks and remixes, it gives me some perspective as to how the artist thinks on their own and how they interpret already completed tunes.

In this case, Crash did a great job of interpreting Sigur Ros’ “Saeglópur”. It sounds like he was able to keep the elegance in the original track but at the same time hit you with his own dash of electro-thrash style.

Crash Overdrive – Kaku
Sigur Ros – Saeglópur (Crash Overdrive Remix)

Krylon is a kid-duo from Tijuana, Mexico. Whats amazing about them is the fact that they’re 16 years old. Yep, 16. When I was 16 I was tearing up the streets with my 1994 Toyota Corolla (one love) and here these guys are making killer electro tracks.

I’d say their production is pretty damn strong for being 16, I can’t wait to see/ hear where these guys are at 5 years from now.

Krylon – Virtual Vice
Krylon – 2015 a.c.

If Rambrandt’s goal of “Alarm!” was to melt faces, I’d say it was pretty successful. Besides the delicious 8-bit breakdown about half-way through, its basically a dance-floor killer; literally and figuratively. I could see a “Boys Noize” crowd eating this one up.

Rambrandt – Alarm!

For some reason, The Deer Tracks remind me of Ellen Allien, even though they don’t sound alike. Weird, I know. Their album stuff is really atmospheric, to give you a point of reference I’d say that they are comparible to Air France (don’t bust my balls if you disagree with me).

Aside from their quite enjoyable album tracks, Sizemoreism did a very Trentemøller-esque remix of “Beofre The Storm”. Pick up some more of The Deer Tracks remixes via their Myspace remix page.
