In For The Kill (Foamo‘s Skream Remix Bootleg) – La Roux

This track has intriguing rhythms accompanying Elly’s beautiful feminine vocals. The song is paradoxically both light and dark at the same time, making it a good listen.  La Roux’s self-titled debut album is due out this June. La Roux is offering a 2-pack (Quicksand & Fascination) for free download on their site. Check it out!

One Day (Surkin Remix) – The Juan Maclean

There are several remixes of One Day out there… this one tops them all, because of it’s beautiful handling of the main sample “One day baby, you’ll realize that I’m the… one day baby…”. The track has both modern hipster additions, and classic house music contributions; joining together to make a unique experience. The Juan MacLean is about to head into a rather extensive North American tour. Check out their website for more details.

Always Like This (James Rutledge Remix) – Bombay Bicycle Club

Bombay Bicycle Club

Bombay Bicycle Club

The original of this track is great… a highly listenable original. This remix is even better. It maintains the cool originality, throws in a little hipster ’80s flare, and keeps the listener interested by switching it up. The Bombay Bicycle Club have been around for a couple of years, and are about to release their first full length album, I Had the Blues But I Shook Them Loose in early July. Judging by the tracks streaming on Bombay Bicycle Club’s myspace page, I think it’s going to be a god one!
