Strangers

--------------------------------------
I've always enjoyed most of the stuff that Senor Coconut puts out. His newest album 'Around The World' has a few good tracks on it including the cover of Daft Punk's 'Around The World'... imagine that!
--------------------------------------
I will admit I'm a fan of Feist, but what white kid isnt? I am also from time to time known to davel in some of Diplo's production work. In this case it just happens to be a remix of Feist's latest single 'I Feel It All'.
--------------------------------------
Van She has been a top listen on my list for a long time now. I'm always thrilled to hear new stuff from them. I'm not 100% sure when this next track came out, but it's new to me and I'm diggin it.
Enjoy 'Strangers'.

Hearts on Fire

'Pirate Radio Fan Club' by J3Concepts
-------------------------------------
Not an Usher fan... not a MSTRKRFT fan that much anymore either, but this remix is so damn catchy. (removed by request)
Usher - Love In This Club(MSTRKRFT Remix)
-------------------------------------
The newest Cut Copy album is incredible and it's had some great remixes birth from it. The 'Hearts on Fire' remix by Joakim was by far one of the best, this Midnight Juggernaughts remix is quite enjoyable on it's own merit though. This version might be a set rip, not 100% sure.
-------------------------------------
The new album by Pendulum has gotten me feling conflicted, I'm not sure whether or not to like it. It's got some interesting production and vocal work, but it doesn't have any major bangers such as 'Tarantula' off their album 'Hold Your Color'. Either way this Van She Tech remix of Pendulum's first single 'Propane Nightmares' is rather enjoyable.

It's been too long...

"The Chills" by J3Concepts
Yeah I know it's been way too long. Sorry for that. I've finally gotten the hint with all the emails and messages that people did actually in fact read my posts. So I will try and get back into the full swing of things.
Starting off with 3 new remixes, 2 from Lifelike and 1 from Basement Jaxx.
---------------------------------
Does It Offend You, Yeah! has an interesting style for sure, all over the map but still quite enjoyable. Waiting on a remix of "Being Bad Feels Pretty Good", but until then here is an excellent remix of "Epic Last Song" by Lifelike.
---------------------------------
Adele kinda hit hard out of nowhere. Here is her latest "Cold Shoulder" remixed by Basement Jaxx, which are hopefully coming out with a new album soon.
---------------------------------
I never really heard of Cazals until awhile back with the Vicarious Bliss remix of "To Cut A Long Story Short". I'm really loving the Lifelike remix of "Somebody Somewhere" though, damn catchy.
---------------------------------
Now hopefully I can keep this posting thing up and going from now on, we'll see.
Leave a note if there is any tracks you want to see uploaded or if you have any questions.
Also for any of my artwork you can check my Site or my Behance profile.

Jack U

Yeah I didn't wait over a month to do this update. Here some new ones and old ones.
------------------------------------
Enjoyable little remake of a classic Chemical Brothers track. Good the second time around no doubt.
------------------------------------
More of a pop-track than my normal taste, but it's kinda grown on me... a bit. Stuart Price version, nice to see him having his hands in things lately.
------------------------------------
Tracey Thorn has a definable enough voice, not 100% sure on all of her stuff though. Anyway Hot Chip touched this one up, so it's a go in my books.
------------------------------------
I have a soft spot for Chaz Jankel, yeah I know, I know... but you'll get over it. Anyway really enjoyed this next track. Just funky.
------------------------------------
Been out for a bit, great remix though. Good little edge to it.
------------------------------------
To the best of my knowledge Henrik and Plec normally produce metal, explains the heavy guitar in this one. Solid remix.
------------------------------------
Newest from Kasper Bjorke... tis good? Yes.
------------------------------------
Late Additions:
------------------------------------
One of the best Chromeo remixes I've heard in awhile.
Chromeo - Needy Girl (Lifelike Mix)
------------------------------------
Another Klaxons remix, this one I actually enjoyed though.
Klaxons - Atlantis To Interzone(Destroy Disco Remix)

She's The One

Yeah it's been well over a month. Been getting hassled to do an update. Some new stuff some semi-new stuff. I also removed all my previous mp3 links because most of that stuff you can get anywhere now.

--------------------------------------------------------
Not sure on this next one yet. I really enjoy Boyond The Wizard's Sleeve of course and the Brothers, just not sold on this remix just yet, not like their remix of Midlake's "Roscoe" which was an instant classic.
--------------------------------------------------------
Really not a fan of Rufus Wainwright, but this track really hit the right spot with me, not sure why yet, it's just a great little track.
--------------------------------------------------------
I love almost every track Zoot Woman puts out, this new track is no acception. Not as catchy as their usual stuff, but new and enjoyable nonetheless.
--------------------------------------------------------
Not sure where Holy Ghost! came from, but it's a great example of DFA digging up talent. Love this track. Does the vocals sound like the lead singer of Chromeo?
--------------------------------------------------------
I think I enjoy the 12 inch version of "flux" the most, but I love Goodbooks, so I figured I'd throw up this remix.
--------------------------------------------------------
Hot Chip can jump from indie rock to soul to dance to hip hop, to just about anything. This is another great track by Dundas, Ontario's Caribou, I think I've been into about 90-95% of Hot Chip's remixes as of late. This track features Jeremy Greenspan from Junior Boys (Hamilton, Ontario)
--------------------------------------------------------
Once and awhile these chicks put out a "popish-but-rather-catchy-un-indie" track, this is their newest one.
--------------------------------------------------------
Not much to say about this one, Lifelike is good here and there and Sia, well I'm kinda over Sia, but she was amazing live. Give it a listen.
--------------------------------------------------------
No post would be complete without some Radio Slave or something similar, yep newest from Matt, little mor ei nthe style of original Radio Slave stuff with Serge Santiago but with still a minimal touch.
--------------------------------------------------------

Updates n Updates

(Image property of showdownvintage)
Yeah yeah, it's been awhile since my last update. I'm still alive, just been busy with various shite.
Some gems in this update, most of them new a few older, enjoy :)
--------------------------------------
Well hell, The Rapture kinda died off there for a bit, but I finally found this remix. And I enjoy the shit out of it and it's 9 minutes of glory.
--------------------------------------
This chick always has a way with words, is this remix by Bjorn of Peter, Bjorn and John? Dunno. Too lazy too look, either way I enjoyed it.
--------------------------------------
A little rougher in her approach, here is another girl with an ever-expanding vocab.
--------------------------------------
A sharp remix from half of Orbital's main men, Paul Hartnoll. Love the Wombats and love Hartnoll. I hope he does some more production in this style.
--------------------------------------
Kinda thought Dizzie was just a phase, still kinda think that, but ah well I enjoyed the energy behind this one and the lyrics I don't understand, always a recipe for enjoyment.
--------------------------------------
Kinda fresh little disco diddy, not the norm from Phones, but still very much enjoyed by myself.
--------------------------------------
I think I've loved every remix that Loving Hands have done, here is one I especially knocked one off to.
--------------------------------------
I think I've used the word "enjoy" or variations of more than anything on this blog, but hey, that's what I'm doing, sharing music I have "enjoyed" over the past while. If you've enjoyed anything on my blog, lemme know leave a comment. If you just feel like being a dick, post that too. Either way enjoy the latest update if you're still around.

Oh So Lost

It's been awhile since my last actual track upload. Here are a few that are on my current playlist. Thanks my good friend over at Electric Zoo (http://electriczoo.blogspot.com/) for the Switch and Speaker Junk remixes.

------------------------------------------

I've been a big fan of Goodbooks lately, they always seem to pull out some great remix production. This particular track kinda/sorta reminds me of The Postal Service.


------------------------------------------

The Shins have been on my list for awhile now, then Pete, Bjorn and John come out with a remix and here ya go. Great little track.


------------------------------------------

Erlend Oye is one of my favorite vocalists, from work with Royksopp then in Kings of Convenience to on his own as himself, he never ceases to amaze. Here is a remix of an older track of his by The Twelves.


------------------------------------------

Not really a fan of Tocadisco, kinda too mainstream houseish for my tastes, but their recent track they threw a vocalist in there and then get a proper remix treatment by Alex Gopher, to result in a very nice rounded track.


------------------------------------------

Hand claps and cowbells, need I say more?


------------------------------------------

Kinda finding Switch, Herve, Speaker Junk and the likes are all starting to sound the same. These latest tracks those are starting to venture off in a new direction, really enjoying this next one.


------------------------------------------

Same goes for this next one, not much to this track, but it's well arranged and put together in it's simplicty, it's quite enjoyable, ahh yess tut tut.

Can You Deal With That?

Above design for The Colour Three (www.thecolourthree.com)
-------------------------------------------------------
Haven't done a major update in awhile, probably lost some regulars in the process. Either way here are a few new and old tracks that are currently on my playlist, give em a gander.
-------------------------------------------------------
My favorite half of DFA1979 (R.I.P.), Sebastien Grainger, nice to see him out with a few fairly new tracks.
-------------------------------------------------------
From 2003, I love these WuTang colaborations here and there, this one is with ICube and Rza, "Can You Deal With That?"
-------------------------------------------------------
Is this next remix new? Or did I miss it back in the day? Not too sure, kinda lazy to find out. Either way it's a great track.
-------------------------------------------------------
I just really enjoy this next track for it's simplicity and classic vocals, not much more to say.
-------------------------------------------------------
The Gossip... yep good, Linus Loves... yep good, The Gossip remixed by Linus Loves... yep good.
-------------------------------------------------------
The Goodbooks have really perked my attention, I love this song by them, very heartfelt. The remix makes this great track even better.
-------------------------------------------------------
There are a few more good remixes on the Muse's work coming out here and there, this is one of them by the ever satisfying Does It Offend You, Yeah!
-------------------------------------------------------

Let's Make Out

I'm way behind on updating my blog lately. Been busy with The Colour Three. Above is a new design for the label by 83grafik.
Also, here is a great track by Does It Offend You, Yeah!, with Sebastien Grainger from DFA1979 on vocals.

Sunday, August 12, 2007

(above image was a test style for SuicideGirls that I never ended up using)
Haven't updated in awhile, sorry for that. Here are a few tracks that have been on my playlist for a bit now, give them a gander.
--------------------------------------------
Enjoyed this one, can't seem to find the original anywhere though, any ideas?
--------------------------------------------
Love any track The Teenagers get their hands on (with the exception of their original material).
--------------------------------------------
Same thing with CSS, I love their production, but not a massive fan of the vocals. Seems though that like The Teenagers, anything their get their hands on turns to gold.

Sunday, August 5, 2007

I Rarely do edits, but one of the latest tracks by Armand Van Helden I really enjoyed, especially the Jesse Rose remix of it. I liked it with the exception of the awful chorus. So I cut it out, and evened the song up a bit. It's a little rough at the end of the second vocal portion but awell.

Promises

Some updates on the label checkout http://thecolourthree.bigcartel.com/ for new designs. None of the designs are finalized yet, but this will give you a feel for what will be on the label.
------------------------
In the meantime here are 2 remixes of Badly Drawn Boy's latest single "Promises".

Mer Du Japon

( design for The Color Three by J3Concepts)
-----------------------------------------
As promised here is the Teenagers remix of Air's "mer du japon". Finally got a good version of it. Great track.
Air - Mer Du Japon (The Teenagers Remix)
-----------------------------------------
Also another Teenagers remix, this track has really grown on me, as have The Teenagers production/remix work.
-----------------------------------------
J2Analog got me onto this next track, the original has some creepy voices in it, but this remix gets rid of that crap and focuses on the primary vocals and adds some blips and bleeps for good measure. Not something in Evol 1ntent's usual style, but great nonetheless.
-----------------------------------------

Updates


Well I now have a name for my clothing line, it'll be called THE COLOR THREE. Working on a few logos now. Going with a more 70s feel to the logos and designs overall, kind of a collage style. Inter.Series.1970 will be on of the designs in the initial launch. (see above)
--------------------------------------------
Spot on remix of "The Game" off the new Alex Gopher album. Alex Gopher has come a long way since "You, My Baby, And I" which at the time was a great album.
Either way give this one a chance.
--------------------------------------------
Loved the original version by Seelenluft but this remix definetly adds a nice little edge to it. DJ Hell is kinda all over the place with his production lately, but this remix is nicely done.
--------------------------------------------
I can't get this next track out of my head. Also another excellent remix/take on an already great track. Definetly on my current top 10 list.
Simian Mobile Disco - I Believe(Prins Thomas Diskomiks)
--------------------------------------------

BACK!

Graphic by J3Concepts 2007

Media server is back up, all downloads should work. Also should be launching a clothing line in August sometime. I'll give you guys updates as soon as I can.
--------------------------------------
I've been following Cassius from the get go back in 1999, nice to see them still producing. This little remix is a fun departure from the original.
Cassius - Rock Number One (Radiopolitan Rework)
--------------------------------------
Bernard Summer has a killer voice, have loved these guys since I was a kid. And this remix is surprisingly pretty catchy.
--------------------------------------
I've never been a fan of CSS's original work, but their remix/production work has always been a favorite of mine.
--------------------------------------
Honestly, people might get angry about this, but I've gotten fairly bored of Justice, they have been overplayed and over-remixed so much it's getting brutal, but this remix I do enjoy alot more than the original.
Justice feat. Uffie - The Party(La Riots Remix)
Removed as per request.
--------------------------------------
I've actually noiced a few good remixes from Hostage lately, White Stripes on the other hand I've never really cared for. This remix though is quite enjoyable for what it's worth.
--------------------------------------
Of course I'd have to throw some MSTRKRFT in this update as well. I love Death From Above 1979, so listening to MSTRKRFT is kinda my way of holding onto a broken dream. Please get back together DFA1979!
--------------------------------------
Not much to say here, I just really enjoy this track, and am I mistaken or is Night Facilities actually a 14 year old kid? If so, nice job sir.
--------------------------------------
I find the Teenagers rather hit-or-miss but I really like this track, plus I'm waiting for a good version of Air's "Mer Du Japon" remix by the Teenagers to come out as well (yes it'll be posted here once I do).
--------------------------------------
And last I have this great little remix by Van She of Feist. I think I've loved almost ever remix of Feist's work, this is no acception.
--------------------------------------
As a final note, DO NOT leave comments about the downloads only getting 30 seconds of the song, either try again to download it or it's an issue with your firewall/router/connection. Feel free to leave any other comments :) Thanks for the support guys. If you do decide to download any of thse tracks please also remember they are for evaluation purposes only.
