CUT COPY – WHERE I’M GOING (Electro/Psychedelica/Retro – Australia)

Aug 6th, 10 / 4 Comments

Time for a little Cut/Copy update! After their acclaimed sophomore abum In Ghost Colours Modular, 2008), the Melbourne-based band embarked on a lengthy world tour and then decided to take some time off to work on new material. While they still occasionally came under the spotlight with some remixes they did for bands such as Cansei De Ser Sexy, Ladyhawke or The Juan MacLean, Dan Whitford, Tim Hoey and Mitchell Scott were keeping a relatively low profile.

Now Cut/Copy are back in the eye of a storm with a brand new song “Where I’m Going”, taken off their as-yet-untitled third album (due early 2011). The song was premiered on Australian indie radio Triple J last month and was then made available for free download on the band’s website.

The song will also be released on vinyl this month. It will be available as a strictly limited, one-sided etched 7″. To celebrate the release of their new song Cut/Copy are now back on tour playing some new tunes and old favorites to festival-goers and clubbers alike (US in August and Australia in October).

We will have to wait a few months for the new album to come out. It is currently being mixed with the help of Ben Allen, who has worked with Gnarls Barkley and Animal Collective amongst others. Stay in touch with Cut/Copy on MySpace and buy all their music on Cut

REDLIGHT – REMIXES (Club/Electro/House – US)

Mar 19th, 10 / 3 Comments

Redlight is a DJ / producer who spent the last two years rocking clubs in NYC and crafting high energy remixes for artists such as Boris Dlugosch, Kings of Convenience or Ladyhawke. Having now relocated to LA, he is spending less time DJing and concentrating on production work. He has released a few original tracks and some amazing mashups.

Cut Copy – Ghosts on Fire (RedLight Mashup)

All of Redlight’s remixes seek to improve on the original and to make them ever more dancefloor friendly. With this in mind, he brings his personal touch to the tracks he remixes and often comes up with remixes that are completely different from the originals. His take on Vampire Weekend’s “Ottoman” is eloquent enough in this respect…

Vampire Weekend – Ottoman (Redlight Remix)

Always in touch with the latest trends, Redlight just dropped an excellent remix of up-and-coming Irish band Two Door Cinema Club. On the heels of their recently released debut album and a sold out European tour, this trio has been getting a lot of media attention. With this great remix of their song “What You Know”, they’re now sure to take the dancefloors by storm…

MOULLINEX – LOVER IN ME (Electro/Nu Disco – Germany)

Feb 3rd, 10 / 5 Comments

Moullinex (now spealt with two l’s) is the moniker of Dj/producer/composer Luis Clara Gomes, who is originally from Viseu, a small countryside town in Portugal, but now based in Munich. Ever since his first productions started being released, he has received scores of remix requests by such artists as Sebastien Tellier, Cut Copy, Who Made Who or Two Door Cinema Club, and labels such as Kitsuné, Modular or Compost.

Cut Copy – Lights And Music (Moullinex Remix)

Between worldwide touring and constant studio work – and while refusing to give up a career in neurology and astronomy research – he also helped to found Discotexas, a record label and collective of artists from sunny Lisbon. Discotexas has just released the Forbidden Cuts EP featuring Moullinex, Xinobi and Rockets (download it for free HERE).

In 2009 Moullinex signed to Gomma Records, for which he is recording a full-length album. His first LP should be out in spring! On this album he is on a perpetual quest to avoid repetition of what he’s done before and this is why Luis invited friends to join his ranks. They helped him in shaping a sound always infused with eclecticism and also developed a live show, where fresh tracks are taken to a whole new level of interaction.
