A cut above

Via Zonders

Thanks to good ole TNUC, I've been reintroduced to that fantastic sound that is Diamond Cut.

Cassette Kids - Lying Around (Diamond Cut Remix)
Datostrom - All I Ever Needed (Diamond Cut Remix)
LexiconDon - Heart Attack (Diamond Cut Remix)
Cinnamon Chasers - I Like Watching You (Diamond Cut Remix)
Evermore - Hey Boys and Girls (Diamond Cut Remix)
M'Black - Heartbreak (Diamond Cut Remix)
Hail Social - No Paradise (Diamond Cut Remix)

Once again, my heartstrings are pulled for the same reasons: that sure-fire distortion synth, the lyrics a la lady, and quality pop structures. It's like they came up with a formula and targeted it for me:

"What would Conrad like? What if we could work on a song with someone like Little Boots singing, but with actual lyrics, and turned it into something hard that Moullinex would be proud of, but just a little smoother so Classixx would approve."
"Yeah, and let's use that sweet bass synth that Futurecop! has in Eyes Like Ocean."
"Dude, this will be so jam."

Futurecop! - Eyes Like Ocean
Moullinex - Breakchops
Yacht - Psychic City (Classixx Remix)

Fingers crossed for a x-atlantic adventure to see them do their thing.

clicky for their soundcloud.

P.S. Repost of this sweet Futurecop! fan vid:

Moulinex (Moo luh nay) c'est Francais (Say Fruhn, say!)

Once again, Moulinex is a winner. This mix is pretty good.

There are some particular guys here that are pretty good that you should know about:


-> Tepr <- I found out this guy almost a year ago through myspace somehow and the video was just so awesome. I discovered Yelle that way and she reminded me of a French, up-to-date, and more dancy Annie. I recommend Chewing Gum for the babes to listen to. Don't get too cocky, though. (link later...)


-> Bloody Beetroots <- Honestly I don't know too much about these guys other than they do the whole mask thing that Daft Punk, Mstrkrft, The Knife (live), etc. do. I don't know how I feel about that. However, they are pretty good in the remix business. Listen to the audioporno mix on their myspace and then elbow the crap out of them.

-> Miami Horror <- I'm pretty sure he is the big dude from Gameboy/Gamegirl I talked about a couple of posts ago (man I am soooo established on the SCENE. I am so scene. I heard people that say that they are so scene are not scene. I am so not scene. There, that's better.)


-> Egyptian Lover <- I really wanted to just post his picture up. He's good to listen to too.

There's not that much to write here seeing as I can't really give the backgrounds on most these people other than the fact that you should check them. In the meantime, wait for this to come out:

My approach to writing the stuff that I do here is that I am communicating mostly to my pals who don't know much about this stuff. If you're a Mr. Fancy Pants constantly looking at the ceiling and think that Daft Punk Technologic should never be played in a mix ever again (which is kind of true), then you can do the just visiting on this blogopoly board.
