Memory Tapes // Remixes

Monday, May 17th, 2010

For the past two weeks Dayve Hawk of Memory Tapes/Memory Cassette/Weird Tapes fame has been offering a free remix made available at the online distribution site RCRD LBL. Now these past two Monday releases might be just a coincidence, however it could also be an indication that new Memory Tapes stuff could be coming out via the site’s label (I guess no surprise that RCRD LBL has a label!). We’ll just have to wait and see what happens in the coming weeks.

These two remixes, the first of Brit-rockers Chapel Club’s “Five Trees the second of Matt Van Schie’s electro-pop ballad “Journey”, show that Hawk certainly hasn’t lost any of his pizzazz since releasing the stellar Seek Magic LP over a year ago. You can stream/download the two tracks below as well as one of my all-time favorite Memory Tapes remixes:

Casiokids // Remixes

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

I’ve been a big fan of the Norwegian electro-pop group Casiokids since I caught them live during one of the warm-up days at the 2008 Roskilde Festival in Denmark. Half art show, half dance party, this Bergen-based band certainly knows how to have a great time while on stage. After catching all of their thirty minute set, I said at the time that “the only direction I see them moving is up” — and boy was I right!

After signing to the famed Polyvinyl label a little over a year ago, the band is slated to release their first LP stateside, entitled Topp Stemning På Lokal Bar, and with it comes this potential B-side Stereogum-premiered Prins Thomas remix of their hit “En Vill Hest”. Also for your listening pleasure, I threw in an old Casiokids remix of Lindstrøm’s “The Long Way Home”. Check them both out below:
