Le Castle Vania - Zero Machine (Official Release)

It hurts to admit it, but SSDT's reputation as a blog to visit to find new music was largely built by ripping songs from artists' Myspace page. Yeah, despicable I know. That explains why a lot of the early songs I posted had shitty sound quality. Well, six months and about five "Please remove (insert stolen track here)" emails later, I'm happy to say I haven't jacked a Myspace song since May. So I was pretty surprised when I read the email I received today from Le Castle Vania containing his newest work, Zero Machine. In the email, Dylan relays that the track was not supposed to be released until today, and (in bold print) it is not a Smashing Pumpkins remix. Oops, we posted Zero Machine two and half weeks ago. Double oops, it was referred to as a Smashing Pumpkins remix. Sorry dude. Our bad.

New Rock Remixes

London based rockers, Burning Pilot, have a new record due out soon called Cold Caller and they’ve commissioned James Rutledge to remix their first single, Accelerate. Mr. Rutledge transforms Accelerate into a 1980s new wave track you listen to while you apply that second coat of black eyeliner. If you’re not into the "Robert Smith" look (liar!) and still can’t imagine what this might sound like, I would say it’s like a 2008 version of New Order or The Cure. Crisper, louder, more bass, all the good stuff from 2008. Ohh, now you wanna download it, pick it from iTunes here.

Yesterday, I professed my love for the new Chimney Climbers remix of Rich Girls by The Virgins. Well, after further research that included listening to The Beatards remix and The Twelves remix, I’ve concluded that Rich Girls is just a damn good song. I know yall will download The Twelves remix but don't sleep on The Beatards version. It's especially funky and bass guitar heavy. Pick up both remixes below.

Twisted Groove - Fire (D.J.C Remix)

My compadre D.J.C just sent me this sick remix he did for Twisted Groove which consist of Ross McJury & Andrew Johnston from Belfast, Northern Ireland . You should defiantly check them out if you are into some good House/Techno/Electro music.

New Remixes from The Chimney Climbers & Dskotek

I’m loving this new remix from The Chimney Climbers. This time, they lend a helping hand to Rich Girls by The Virgins. Part hair metal guitar riffs, part brooding bass, the remix is all good. The ominous synths, combined with the ubiquitous DJ air horn and the infectious vocal sampling used during the hook creates a feeling of anticipation as you wait for the bass to blast you from somewhere. Yet it never comes, and you’re stuck sitting there with no other recourse but to listen to the track again, for your 16th time in a row.

LA-based DJ/producer Dskotek is back on this Discotech with two new remixes. His first one is something you don’t see everyday, a producer remixing a Bloody Beetroots original. Dskotek steps up to take on Rombo, the Beetroots’ high energy, synth-filled, Lil’ Jon-sampling attempt to blow out your speakers. Dskotek’s version is less about blowing out speakers and more about making dancefloors shake with intense buildups and a heavy strobe effect.

Dskotek then puts his stamp on the new Britney Spears single, Womanizer. I don’t know how or why, but Ms. Spears has somehow recorded the most remixed track of the moment. PMA does a pretty good job of rounding up a sampling of the best remixes of Womanizer so far. I’m not a big fan of the original so I can’t recommend or trash this or any of the other remixes. I can say this remix has a distinct Dsktotek sound to it. His production aesthetic shines through and if I learned anything from watching 5 seasons of Project Runway (aside from what silk chiffon is) it is that the key to being a great artist is having an original design aesthetic.

Big Gipp - Hot (Rob Wonder Remix)

I don't know how much the Scion A/V events and music releases actually sway potential consumers to buy Scion vehicles, but I know two things: the events are always awesome and the music releases are always dope. Just in the past few months, Scion has brought DJ Klever and Girl Talk to Houston for free, not to mention all the hip hop artists that have stopped by courtesy of Scion. The last two music releases from Scion A/V featured remixes from remix masters Herve, Sinden, and Boy 8-Bit plus tracks from EPMD, New Young Pony Club, The Presets and Muscles. Yeah, all that for free. I think going out a buying a new xB is the least you could do to say thank you.

Scion's newest mixtape brings together DJ Klever, Treasure Fingers, and Rob Wonder, some of Atlanta's hottest dance music DJ/producers, with Big Gipp, one of Atlanta's hottest rappers. It only makes sense that when you add the hottest producers with the hottest rapper the name of the track that gets triple-teamed is Hot. The Klever and Treasure Finger remixes have already made the blog rounds, but for some reason everyone has slept on the Rob Wonder remix so far. From the opening drum loop, I knew this was the track I was meant to post. I can't resist posting good Bmore. Shit, I won't even lie, I've posted mediocre or bad Bmore before, but I assure you this is good Bmore.

In other news, the video above is from the Atlanta, Ga broadcast of the Nick Jr. show, Lazy Town. In Atlanta, they add Lil' Lon to all of their children programming, that's how they keep the citywide Crunk Meter above 200.
