So, there's splinter group from old band Simian called Simian Mobile Disco who make a super fun bass and electro racket with such songs as It's the beat (dip dip dip-di-diddy-dip), and who are also jolly fun live as my sweaty, MDMA'd up Flickr page will show you.
They're also famous for having their song Never Be Alone (U'll! Never! Be aloooone again) remixed by Justice, another super band who do a similar sort of bass and fierce electro thing, though more mechanical and less organic than SMD if at times capable of more intensity.
And whaddayou know - Justice have also got a remix of Spank Rock's Bump, called Thunderous Bumps, which was superb to start off with and which remix has the honour of being basically a mash-up of Justice and Spank Rock, together, snuggling, at a sexy party.
Now we could enthuse about the above. That's a large part of what this thread is for. We'll also talk about the excellent blog Fluokids, which is where I came across a lot of this stuff in the first place. If you excuse for a moment Fluokids penchant for putting up pictures of "hott girls", which does sometimes spill into dodgy territory, it's probably one of the best music blogs out there in terms of being engaging, brightly coloured and on the ball without being exclusive (apart from being in French and the unfortunate "Look, a girl" parts.)
Some of the people related to Fluokids also release the Kitsune Maison compilations, which tend to be super despite the odd Wolfmother remix.
All this stands up very well against the Klaxons et al, and I guess I'd like you to all enthuse about it - or cast doubt on it if you'd rather. |
