“I’m Not Alone” Remix

Perez Likes It
Eight years ago, Miss Kittin & The Hacker electrified with their track, “Frank Sinatra” which had fans ranging from Marilyn Manson to Elton John! After one album they both moved along in separate directions pursuing solo careers. But, now they are back with a new album called TWO that’s set to come out next month.
This collaboration is said to be more mature electronica with a poppiness glint to it. The video for their new single “1000 Dreams” is posted on Perez Hilton’s site, which you can watch by clicking here. Though Perez likes it, it seems that a lot of his readers would rather go with out. But, you of course are your own judge. So “dream on”!
The new album also features a cover of Elvis’ “Suspicious Minds”*. You can check out that video on YouTube by clicking here.
Even if it seems like something you’re not into, check them out anyways. I mean, Miss Kittin & The Hacker ARE predicted to be one of THE great electronic music events of 2009. You’ll want to know what everyone’s talking about.
*Might I mention that “Suspicious Minds” seems to be hot on the cover list again as of late. Rusted Root has their version on their new album Stereo Rodeo, too.

Where’s the Thunder?
I got really excited because Thunderheist’s self-titled debut album is out today. But…um…I don’t really like it. The 13-track album is available from Amie Street so I went to preview it…and I’m not impressed. The only song I like enough to download is #3 “Jerk It”. I like the electro beats, but there’s something about the lady rapper’s voice that just isn’t cool.
Very saddening. You can check it out if you want, but don’t say I didn’t warn you. Lower those expectations unless you want to be put in a funk the rest of the day like me.

Bounce with MSTRKRFT
MSTRKRFT can definitely kick out the remixes, but many wondered if they have the goods to produce their own sounds. Well folks, they do have the goods. This week MSTRKRFT released their album Fist of God. Yes, they do sound a lot like Daft Punk, but they love Daft Punk…so I think of it as a form of flattery. Besides, MSTRKRFT chooses to add in much more vocals than Daft Punk.
I got the album the day it came out. I’d heard their single “Bounce” featuring N.O.R.E. many months ago and loved it! The rest of the album isn’t disappointing, either. The first track “It Ain’t Love” features Lil’ Mo. This track is something I’d expect to hear a little more about, since it could attract some mainstreamers.
Second, is “1,000 Cigarettes”, it’s all beats, no vocals, so I could see where this one might remind most of Daft Punk. It’s fun though, and there’s what sounds like a cow bell involved. And who doesn’t love cow bells?!
Next, is popular track “Bounce”. It’s definitely a fun song, and it’s definitely a party song. ‘Nuff said.
Now, I’m just going to touch on my favorites from the album. Track 5 features John Legend. It starts out with the piano, and then the beats come in. They make a wonderful blend that’s finalized when John’s voice enters. It’s called “Heartbreaker” and it’s divine.
“You’re in my mind/You’re in my heart/I wish I knew/right from the start/All my friends say/you break my heart/a heartbreaker/right from the start”
My other favorite is track 10, “Breakaway”. Actually, it might be my No. 1 fave on Fist of God. It’s a great song to dance around to. The whole 11 tracks on the album make up only around 38 minutes, but it’s a pretty fun-filled 38 minutes. Go ahead and preview it on Amazon if you’re not sure.

Dance it Up!
Dominic Butler and Mark Yardley are the duo that makes Stanton Warriors. Electro break beats are their forte. They’re from England, and currently embarking on their first tour here in the States.
And guess what else? I am going to see them tonight!!! Whooooooooo!
November 11th is the magical date when their long-awaited 3rd album Stanton Sessions Vol. III comes out.
I’m super pumped about it. Check out their MySpace page if you’ve never heard ’em. They do a lot of remixes and collabs with other cool kids like Basement Jaxx, Plump DJ’s, Fatboy Slim and Mylo.
