Remember this song? It always find its way into my 90’s mega-mixes since it’s groovy albeit slightly melancholy at the same time. Kleerup maintains the original bpm but adds a nice beat and a Moogish Popcorn bassline.

Cardigans - Erase Rewind (Kleerup remix)

A) I love Jupiter. B) I’ve been hearing good things about the new indie band, Metronomy, perhaps my new fave since Mystery Jets. This song has been getting remixed like crazy, but A + B = Cool.

Metronomy - Heartbreaker (Jupiter remix)

These next couple gems come courtesy of DiscoDelicious, whose solid offerings of disco, disco-fied indie and French house are making it one of my favorite music blogs. Most of its artists are new to me, as is the case with Discorockets from Spain, and Greenskeepers from Chicago. Alas, Running to You gets caught off at the end, but both are gloriously groovy.

Discorockets - Running to You
Greenskeepers - The Color Pink

I’m usually so obsessed with remixes that Kitsune’s remix competition for Drugs in my Body a while back made me blow right past the actual artist, Thieves Like Us. Dumb! Particularly given how great this new track off their latest EP is.

Thieves Like Us - Your Heart Feels

Lykke Li has been gaining momentum since I first ran across a Sumo remix a while back. I like her voice, and I really like Punks Jump Up — their disco punk sound really perked my interest in that sub-genre, or whatever you call it. See above regarding A + B.

Lykke Li - Breaking It Up (Punks Jump Up remix)

Switch certainly needs no introduction. Have loved his productions in the past, including the epic rework of Hideaway, but I don’t remember them being as funky and housey as this. Very G-Unit style; reminds of me really early DJ Dan…

Switch - Just Bounce 2 This

I thiiiiink Cryptic played this track for me a while back on an SF trip, so I gotta throw him a shout-out now that’s made its way into the blogoverse and these pages. I would have given it a listen just for Sandy Vee’s clever name alone, but it’s a banger and the Immigrant Song sample is awesome.

Sandy Vee - Bleep

Perhaps this next track struck a chord after hearing U-Tern’s latest hip-house podcast… Higher tempo to the flow, with a minimal house groove behind it.

Expensive timepieces seem to be a motif with grime hits these days — Wiley’s big hit was about wearing his rolex, now Skepta is sweeping it… Electro-house gods Vandalism add their signature over-driven synth flavor.
