Emil & Friends: Remixing Everything


Emil & Friends // D.E.EP Teaser from Cantora Records on Vimeo.


Little Boots' "New In Town," Remixed. Passion Pit's "Sleepyhead." Remixed. Phoenix + Michael Jackson "Girlfriend on Girlfriend." Mashedup. Needless to say, Massachusetts' Emil & Friends have been busy picking the buzziest bands to remix at the right times. The above tracks didn't just come out...they came out well before these band's became popular, proving Emil has the right ear. While remaking other's pop-gems has put Emil on the map, his newest EP titled, Downed Economy (see album teaser video above,) which drops on Sept. 28 via Cantora Records, is where he hopes to make his mark. The lead single of this record, "Joshephine" shows how much of a sponge this electro-artist has become. Emil knows what others do right, attempts to recreate those scenarios, then attaches his signature beats and samples; he is the PBR-soaked Dr.Luke of the indie world and a must watch artist of 2010. Careful, or you'll get remixed.

Little Boots "New in Town (Remix)" Emil & Friends

UPDATE: Due to some technical difficulties - this remix isn't available right now. Sucky. BUT - since we love Little Boots and it's the Friday before a long weekend, we figured we should probably just post her killer track "Mathematics again". So - here it is.

We received this track from Sweet Touch Records let's just say, too long ago, but it has graced the best of our electronic-dance party mixes. This tune bumps. Unless you are bat-blind, you know that Little Boots is ravaging the UK music scene; number one on BBC's Who to Watch in 2009 (former top-spots belong to Adele, Duffy, Ting Tings and Glasvegas,) Boots' Arecibo EP has generated pounds of press. Anticipating a June 8 UK-release of her debut record Hands (pre-order available on UK iTunes only) the buzz for this tenorion (her little light-bright-beat-machine) sensation. Stark contributor Lauren Mooney was lucky enough to catch Little Boots for an interview awhile back.

See a Boots tenorion demonstration for Hot Chip's "Ready for the Floor" after the jump. Pretty amazing.
