Rollin’ & Scratchin’

We’ve had Miami Horror on our radar for some time now, but all hype has seemed to stem from their remix work. We’re happy to report to you that they have recently released their debut E.P. ‘Bravado’ which features two singles - ‘Don’t Be On Her’ and ‘Make You Mine’.

I found this video for ‘Don’t Be On Her’ just a moment ago and decided I had to post it right away. The song itself sounds like a rip off of Prince’s ‘When Doves Cry’ (Am I the only one that hears this?  I mean come on!)  while the video looks like something out of Future Scenes in Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.  Either way, it’s a tight little package.

I love how Yuksek can work in so many genres and still bust out great sounds. Now, I don’t mean that he produces rap and indie-rock songs (he usually makes french tinged electro), but he can take rap and indie-rock songs and make them sound like they were always made to be played at 1 AM on a sweaty dance floor. In the last year he has killed remixes for Ghostface Killah, The Kaiser Chiefs, and Corey Hart.

Well his latest reworking is just as special if not more so than those other ones. He is a king of manipulating the high end to get a wonderful tin/processed sound while still kicking your ass with his thumping low end and he does exactly that in this remix of Tommy Sparks.

Bonus: See what he can do with a rap artist.

As many of you know, R$S is about to celebrate our 1 Year Anniversary. We’ve come a long way from the little blog that could, and to help commemorate this occasion we’re going to take a look at some of our favourite posts from over the last year.

First up is my 2008 anthem by LCD Soundsystem, ‘All My Friends’. This track basically sums up those Saturday night’s that you’re hungover from Friday, and muster up the energy to hit the town one last time before the weekend is over. My particular favourite is Franz Ferdinand’s version of the song, which turns this into a New Order/Joy Division sounding anthem.
