[Breakbot + Pacific!]

I've been procrastinating on blogging about Breakbot for some time now, and there is just too many great remixes out there to postpone any longer. Breakbot has made a habit of remixing Pacific! which I LOVE. Recently he's remixed AIR and many others as well. But imo the remixes of Pacific! is where he shines. The remix of "Runaway to Elsewhere" is what got me hooked, and then I came across the remix of "Hold Me", which is total class. His presence hasn't been a secret, as he was quickly gobbled up by Ed Banger and put upon his proper pedestal. How cool is it that Banger is diversifying their portfolio and expanding into the 80's electropop & funk realm which Breakbot dominates.

[Cavaliers of Fun]

Unicorns, check... Space, check... Unicorns IN space, check... And that my friends is how you get my attention.

"Imagine a one man space odyssey to discover new worlds, new beats, new sounds... Cruising through galaxies of retro synths spinning out huge solos, arpeggios running wild through the space prairies and beats the size of Tyrannosaurus Rex. COF is piloting a solo space pod to travel back to the 80s on Planet Earth. But in his own private galaxy it's already year 2112.."

Ricco Vitali, AKA Cavaliers of Fun is an electronic producer from the UK, although his Space Unicorn emblazoned Myspace has him listed as living in space. Either way, he's doing some really cool and fun music right now, and you need to take a listen.

His track "Secret Galaxies" has the laid back pop feel of a Pacific! track, but the melodramatic seriousness of a Kate Bush ballad. Hey.. this dude really loves his secret galaxies!!

Keeping in space stride, here is another of his tracks "2012"... about the year 2012, when we'll move to space via doomsday, naturally.

When he's not on his own personal space voyages, COF is lending his interesting talents to others as evident in his remix of The Teenagers single Feeling Better.

So take a look at his spacey ass Myspace and buddy up, I have a feeling he's going to catch on quickly and get some nice blog love.

[Poney Poney + Pacific!]

We have a few new tracks from Poney Poney, French electro rock band extraordinaires. This Parisian duo continue to represent Institubes well. Their upcoming album has plenty of hype behind as it is produced by label mate Para One and *gasp* Xavier de Rosnay of Justice.

Disco Hands favorites, Sweden's Pacific! lend their hand to improve upon Poney Poney's third Institubes' single with their signature piano loop synth attack. A more upbeat Ariel Pink comes to mind here. Grab up the Pacific! remix of datA's Rapture if you don't have it already, classic.
