New stuff from ODahl makes us this happy. We've been on and on about him, so if you don't know who he is, click the ODahl label below and indulge yourself. This track is more filter house than his usual stuff and might point at a new direction for his forthcoming EP. We will have reasons to come back to that soon though...
Thought I'd just pop this one up before I'm off to bed. Flight Facilities' new single "Crave You" featuring Giselle is released today/tomorrow, Friday the 26th, on the excellent Australian label Bang Gang. B-Xentric has made a remix of it which he was kind enough to share with us. It's a cool bongo and saxophone-filled nu disco affair which should be a smooth way of beginning your Friday with.

Another masterpiece from our friend Diamond Cut from NY. His recipe is simple; make fantastic remixes all the time! This new one of London based producer M'Black (aka Matt Schwartz) is no exception.
Tomorrow (Thursday, March 25) Stockholm will have celebrated guests from Germany in spirit of Booka Shade. They will perform at Debaser Medis and are told to have 200 kilos of overload and a spectacular light-show. And since it's four year since they were in Stockholm, this is going to be huge. There are still some tickets left, so if you want to go, get your tickets here.
Our good friends from Switzerland, Flashworx has come up with another new fresh mixtape exclusive for Tracasseur. We love those exclusive stuff we receive and we also love when you can smell the influence of the 80s.
The rumours whispers that the new MGMT album "Congratulations" has leaked this weekend. The hype around the new album from MGMT is huge and it should have been odd if it not had leaked before the release date April 12. We don't want to post any of the tracks that has leaked, instead we refer to MGMT's own website where you can stream the whole album. And you can pre-order it here.
I recently heard from a musician that he doesn't believe in music blogs. I was very surprised to hear that, considering there are thousands and thousands of music blogs...and that's just the blogs focused on electronic music. So I think he should reconsider his thoughts about electronic music blogs.The Electro Wars Final Trailer from Stephen Alex Vasquez on Vimeo.
Fred Falke, the guy with the most posts (14) at Tracasseur haven't been mentioned so much in the beginning of 2010. Only two posts this year, where the last one is posted so far away as nine days regarding the Work it Baby compilation.
Paris band Fortune is releasing both an EP entitled "Gimme" and an album, "Staring at the Ice Melt", on March 23. The quartet are comprised of musicians with backgrounds from several other bands like The Yolks, The Big Knife, Abstrackt Keal Agram, Y Front and Rodolphe Burger's Meteor Band.
So finally we got our hands on Monsieur Adi's remix of one of our favourite tracks of last year (made my no. 1 spot for 2009); Fear of Tigers' "I Can Make the Pain Disappear". This really is a match made in heaven; one of the most talented producers around getting remixed by another of the most talented producers around. And what does Mister Adi do with the upbeat peaktime anthem that is the original? Why, a beautiful slow-dance ballad of course...
Where we have been the past weeks? We've been around, I can tell you that. Doing a lot of stuff, like clubbing, and also done a lot of other posts than writing about the two new tracks that leaked from MGMT's new album "Congratulations". The album is set to be released April 12, pre-order it here.
...are two guys and two girls from London and the south east area (with very cryptic names...) mixing great 80s, retro, synth and new electro music. I don't know much about these guys more than they've just released this great remix for Boston based Yes Giantess:
We are very happy to announce that you now can buy super fresh Tracasseur t-shirts from our online store at MySoti. We've been looking for a great t-shirt partner within this field for a while and now we have found one with great quality in printing, environmentally friendly, good t-shirt brands and decent prizing.
It's with pride I write this post today. Back in 2000–2002 I went to a design school named Forsbergs here in Stockholm. I studied graphic design & illustration, nowadays I have the joy to work with design every day (the Tracasseur logo for example). During my years of studies I got to know a lot of great people, among them there were two nice and talented guys named Adam and Carl. They were not only good in making great design but also talented within the musical aspects.
One of the best tracks last year from the indie rock scene was "Carry Your Weight" with the Swedish legendary band The Bear Quartet. The band celebrated 20 years during 2009, they were formed in the northern town of Luleå back in 1989. During the years they have released plenty of records and they have become a cult band in Sweden. Even if they never have hit it off huge they are well-known and they will always be indie. So indie that they in 2009 turned down a nomination for the Swedish music prize "Grammis".
Don Diablo's new has released his new EP "Teen Scream Machine" just in time for his new North American tour. It's already been dubbed 'one of the songs you need to hear' by SPIN Magazine and it includes remixes by NT89, MOTOR and Nightriders. The tour starts March 18 in Chicago and swings by Vancouver, Burlington, Miami and LA before ending in San Diego on March 27.
Module is Jeramiah Ross from Wellington, New Zealand making wonderful electro, downtempo and popsynth tunes. He has now branched into making video game soundtracks and sound design.
We posted a new Paul track Monday, but since you probably like his music as much as we do, you are probably already eagerly waiting for more great stuff from him. We don't want to disappoint, so here you go!
We posted Worship's remix of the excellent B-Xentric track "Miami" back in January. Now the eccentric brit has decided to make the original available for free together with the remix by Slovenia's Sare Havlicek, whos Claes Rosen remix we wrote about yesterday. So here are two great tracks for your Thursday night disco.
The Vanish' "Hold On" was blogged a year a go almost to the day and became an instant favourite of mine. The New York duo is now releasing it on Eye Indutries with remixes from Gemini Club (who we wrote about not long ago), the Aussie electro house maestro Russ Chimes and Beyond Deep.
March 15 is the release date of Space Walker Recordings' sophomore release; Swedish progressive house producer Claes Rosen's "Sparkles". Actually, prog house is a bit a narrow a label to put on Mr Rosen, maybe melodic synth house is a more accurate term. The release also includes an 80s italo-flavoured remix by Sare Havlicek, a jazzy chilled out remix by Lithuanians Martin Virgin & South eXpress and a funky French house-style remix by Russian talents SPSM.
One of my heroes within the electronic music with vibes from the 80s is back. Kavinsky aka The Zombie, with the car and with the 80s, is back with a new EP named "Nightcall" with two new tracks "Nightcall" and "Pacific Coast Highway".
Ok, so it's time to do the first post on what will be the release of the spring: the 10th anniversary compilation from Work it Baby. WiB is to French touch house what Ed Banger is to the French electro scene. The label is run by Kris Menace and based in Paris (of course!). With releases from artists like Menace, Fred Falke, Jaunt, Serge Santiago, Charlie Fanclub, Patrick Alavi and Lifelike it has been one of the most influential labels in house music in recent time.
Great news from our favourite Polish artist on our favourite Polish label! Michell Phunk, who we wrote about back in May, has just released a new EP on Brennessel entitled "My Electric Emotion". It contains four well-crafted electropop tracks with that special Michell Phunk feel that we fell in love with almost a year ago. On this release he has had helping hands from two other people from the excellent Brennessel netlabel; the singer from AXMusique and young producer Pandoid.
Den Haag-based producer Shook has reworked Electric Youth's excellent 80s flavoured electropop track "Replay" into a funky nu disco track. Great stuff!
French trio Minitel Rose (of Valérie fame) will release their debut album "Atlantique" in May. We're big fans, and have been for a long time. And judging by the first taste from the album it's going to be awesome. Like we didn't know that already.
Yeah, a new track from our fellow Frenchman Paul. We have longed for a new track quite a while now, but when we got and listened to it, it was worth the waiting. Paul reached Arnie's "Best of 2009" list and he was one of our best new acquaintances to all of us at Tracasseur last year. So it's with joy I give you his new fresh track "Blue Lagoon" in the best quality. It's time to get aquatic with Paul!
Our fine friends of Buffetlibre have another massive project on the go. Before they have had huge and splendid projects like "Rewind" (80s cover project) and "Batidora" (remix project). And now it's time for their new project together with Amnesty International named "PEACE". It was supposed to be released already by March 1, but due to bureaucratic paperwork and legal authorizations the project will be fully released April 12 instead. But these who waits for something good...
Our hero dressed in red, straight from the Bronx, Red Hero. Inspired by others today like Kavinsky and Danger but also of course by the 80s with the movies, anime and video games. Yet with that darker tech feel. David, as his real name is, also mention the movie "Nightmares" from 1983 in four parts with among others Emilio Estevez. He also tells that the name Red Hero came from the colour that lead heroes often wear.
Exclusive new remix from ¡BORRACHO!. Always doing great stuff with this kind of commercial music, puts it into another level.
This guy is something special. Rory Phillips, an icon in the nightlife of London and the UK. Everything he touches turns kind of into gold, when he makes remixes they're excellent and when he makes his own material it's as excellent.
Love at first listen! Brilliant pop! Dreamy! Balaeric! Catchy! Indie! Great voice!
The other day I posted a bunch of Diamond Cut remixes and one of the remixes was of Oh Shit! & Night Drugs "Everybody Needs". A pumping house track for the dance floors. Unfortunately we had to remove the original track after receiving a mail from Sean, one of the two guys in Oh Shit!. He goes under the name of Dirty Seaner and the other one is Devoe. They are based in L.A. and are told to have a kind of bizarre live act.
If the last posted was a funny and colourful one, this one is stunning. In one shoot they manage to create this fantastic video for, originally from Chicago but nowadays LA based, OK Go and their tune "This Too Shall Pass" from their latest album "Of the Blue Colour of the Sky". Indie with a big scope of Prince.
I was so glad today, first of all I woke up feeling so much better from my long lasting flu (hence my five-day absence) and in our inbox we got an email about this disco queen and John Waters character of the 21st century from Venice; Hard Ton on Gigolo Records. I'm a big fan of early acid house and Giorgio Moroder so this guy is a very nice discovery for me.
Hailing from Chicago, the birth city of house music, is indie electro/dance punk trio Gemini Club. They formed as late as July last year, but have moved places since then, creating quite a buzz with their energetic music and great live shows (as evidenced by the video below).
One of Tracasseur's finest and also one of the most frequently blogged acts here, Diamond Cut is actually releasing remixes in an impressive pace. We can't hardly keep it up with him so now it's going to be a little sum-up of his latest remixes.
