Emil & Friends: Remixing Everything

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

[MP3] Little Boots "New In Town (Remix)"

[MP3] Passion Pit "Sleepyhead (Remix)"

[MP3] Phoenix + MJ "Girlfriend on Girlfriend (mashup)"

[NEW MP3] Emil & Friends"Joshephine"

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.

The Felice Brothers: "Run Chicken Run"

We're still processing a big weekend of music and sun including an amazing Crocodiles show at Pianos on Saturday night... so for now, enjoy some work that other folks have done.

Jon Pareles gives a nice take on the fantastic new Felice Brothers record in the New York Times today. Yonder Is the Clock comes out this Tuesday... certainly should be on the top of any 4/7 shopping list. Read the review HERE.

Our new friend at the fantastic Microphone Memory Emotion has a review of Brooklyn's Tanlines and the cumbia explosion that was the Zizek show on Saturday at Santos Party House. Check it out HERE.

The beleagured myspace music is featuring the much buzzed about new record from the Doves that comes out tomorrow. Stream the whole album HERE.

Phoenix played SNL. Phoenix's new record Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix comes out May 26th. For what it's worth, the record has been far from impressing us of late. Check out "Lisztomania" HERE and "1901" HERE. They also played their most popular tune (ok, also maybe one of their best) "Too Young" during the credits.

Pop Tarts Suck Toasted has a effusive review of the new St. Vincent record Actor, which leaked this weekend. Certainly looking forward to hearing that. Read the review HERE.
