Hejven.se

The first post in this new decade might be somewhat unorthodox. Friday Bangers on a Tuesday? Is this madness possible?

Yes, I tell you! It’s been a while since our last post so we don’t give a damn!

As assistant booker and promoter-extraordinaire for Rust Sven Houlberg knows what’s going on with the music scene. We asked him to throw a few songs at us that he have been listening to the past couple of weeks, and the reason why he kept listening to these tracks.

Crookers feat. Soulwax & Mixhell – “We Love Animals”
“The track has a raw energy and a clear grandiose impact from Soulwax.”

Riva Starr feat. Nôze – “I Was Drunk (Douster Remix)”
“Douster took a fun tune and turned it even more playful. It’s really one for the girls.”

Florence + The Machine – “You’ve Got The Love (The XX Remix) (Renaissance Man Edit)”
“A raw and organic tune which I find incredibly attractive.”

Fake Blood – “Fix Your Accent”
“After the release of Mars I was afraid that Fake Blood was just another bass-hungering group from United Kingdom. This track however shows what else they are capable of.”

Douster – King of Africa
“Representing Africa! This is the new sound that I’m diggin’, it’s playful and not that serious and I’m looking forward to much more tracks from Douster.”

Franz Ferdinand – No You Girls (The Rouge Elements Remix)
“The Rouge Elements Remix = Rave”

And heeere comes music.

It’s time for some bangers again after a pretty crazy week! We got pretty hyped with the Hey Champ remix, but now it’s back to normal.

Starting this weeks bangers with a heavy track with lot of distortion and spacy sounds! Leeds based Filthy Rich brings us the track “Make You Freq” and Miles Dyson did a great job remixing the track.

While talking of heavy tracks I’d like to bring you a neat remix done by Danish SuperTroels lead singer of the electro rock band VETO. The original track can be found on The Glass’ “Couples Therapy” EP which you can buy here. The remix is from “Remixes and Rarities“.

The XX brought Florence + the Machine’s “You’ve Got the Love” to the clubs all around and it seems like they are about to do it again. “Shelter” was released on The XX’s debut album entitled “xx” but not long ago Death To The Throne ( ) remixed it and what a track!!

Da Lukas aka. DKS did a redub of his own “Babarabatiri” and it’s funky, gypsy and very well if you need to move your body to a sweet rhythm!

Last but not at all least we have a Mayer Hawthorne track. The LA based singer is quite a multi talent! He sings, raps, produce, DJ and plays an impressing amount of instruments. “Green Eyes Love” was released with his album “A Strange Arrangement” September 8, 2009. Classixx remixed this sweet little tune.

That’s the bangers this Friday! Have a nice weekend..

Hvis man har overset Florence + The Machine det seneste stykke tid har man nok boet på en øde ø uden nogen form for kommunikation med omverdenen. De er blevet spillet overalt og er nok bedst kendt for “Dog Days Are Over” og deres coverversion af “You’ve Got The Love” (originalt indspillet af The Source feat. Candi Staton).

Florence Welch, som forsangerinden hedder, har været grundpillen i bandet og “The Machine” består af Robert Ackroyd, Christopher Lloyd Hayden, Isabella Summers og Tom Monger. Sammen har de lavet musik fra 2007, men først i juli i år udkom debutalbummet “Lungs” som helt klart er et lyt værd.

Man falder bestemt for Welch’s fortryllende stemme i en god blanding af indiepop og alternativ, blød rock med storladne momenter.

Nu har flere efterhånden haft haft i deres sange og her er et par af de bedste. Det er britiske The xx, The Lionheart, Jack Beats og skotske Optimo Espacio i et længere housemix!

Og så er der en lille update mht. Chromeo, jeg faldt over en groovy coverversion af Eagles “I Can’t Tell You Why”.
