[Owl Vision]

The Swedish "Electro Beast of the East", otherwise known as Owl Vision has sent us some great tracks to share with everyone. Fresh off the presses is the new release, "Darkness EP". "Darkness" is the first single off his upcoming album, and the title doesn't mislead a bit as he keeps it dark, deep and gritty, not overwhelming us with bass like other musician tend to do.

Owl Vision - Darkness

As much as I like the title track, the Vektorkat remix is my favorite of the bunch. Vektorkat keeps the grittiness of the original and then is all like "hey what's this over here? oh, just some more grit". Despite the gritty overdose, the track is very danceable, most likely taking lessons from an act like MSTRKRFT on how to keep it raw, yet dance. Although this track is my favorite off the EP, lets not forget that all great works of art start with a great canvas.

If you like what you hear, you'll love even more that the EP is available for FREE, thanks to Owl Vision's heart of gold. Aside from the title track and Vektorkat's ace remix, there's more from Owl Vision himself and Distrakt. He wants to be heard, so lend him your ears. Grab the entire Darkness EP HERE.

Owl Vision has just finished up his upcoming album, due to be released any day now. So stop by his Myspace for all the details and drop a line. Peace!

[Samuel + The Knocks]

If you remember... we mentioned before that The Knocks were busy in the studio producing the upcoming debut for fellow label mate, Samuel. Well to give you a bit of a tease while we wait for that, we have the fresh new track from this relatively unknown up and comer. Samuel covers Ellie Goulding's track 'Starry Eyed' and it doesn't disappoint. Oh yes, it's produced by The Knocks, so you know its of good stock.

This isn't a full fledged dance track or epic synth jam like we usually post up in here, but it's got that electro slow jam vibe pulled off perfectly. I'm not as in love with Goulding as alot of other blogs, but her vocals seem to work smoothly with Samuel's chill style.

Samuel - Starry Eyed (Ellie Goulding Cover, produced by The Knocks)

Not quite ready to whip out when the party is taking off, but throw this on towards the end of the night for that starry eyed feel, as it's sure to help you wind down and enjoy the night.

I know you've paid a visit before to The Knocks' Myspace, so do the same for Samuel as well. I'm sure he'll be getting alot of DH love in the future, so stay tuned!

[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!!

Cavaliers of Fun - 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.

Cavaliers of Fun - 2012

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.

The Teenagers - Feeling Better (Cavaliers of Fun Remix)

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.

[DIGIRAATII]

DIGIRAATII are back again with some new dancefloor goodness. The pace at which they put out new material is mind numbing. Instead of hitting up other electronic artists to remix, this time they try their hand at Canadian R&B musician Drake with his new single "Best I Ever Had." All the R&B of the original has been drained out while DIGIRAATII put the dance into its place. As for Drake, well, this is the best remix he's ever had... count it.

Drake - Best I Ever Had (DIGIRAATII REMIX)

DIGIRAATII are quickly moving their way up the ranks of electronic music thanks to lots of blog love and word of mouth... and of course their pure talent. They will be playing with the illustrious DATA and others @ The Standard Hotel in downtown L.A. on August 9th doing a Rooftop Pool Party, so if you're in the area check it out. DATA, DIGIRAATII, and a motherfluffin' pool, how chill is that!? Oh yeah, Myspace em if you haven't.

[Miami Horror]

Miami Horror is "Benjamin", a dude from Melbourne Australia who loves to make some disco tunes in the same vein as VEGA. Sometimes I get to thinking, are they one in the same? Is he also Neon Indian? Where does Ariel Pink come into play? I'm sure all 4 are separate entities, but sometimes I begin to listen to too much music and the lines begin to blur. I hear the chorus to the amazing "Make You Mine" and could have swore VEGA had used that melody before, or vice versa? I'm not complaining here, the more artists that begin to sound like VEGA & Miami Horror, the better, 'cause these dudes have their sound down to a science. And I'm not the only one, he's been bringing in some of the best producers out there to remix for him, including living legend Fred Falke and future Hall of Famer Treasure Fingers. So get up, grab these tunes, and slide on your dancin' shoes, you're gonna need em.

Miami Horror - Don't Be On With Her (Treasure Fingers Remix)
Miami Horror - Make You Mine (Fred Falke Remix)
Miami Horror - Make You Mine (Cassian Remix)
Miami Horror - Make You Mine (Death Metal Disco Scene Radio Mix)

And check out the video for "Don't Be On With Her" if you haven't, this is pure gold my peeps.

As always, after you've grabbed these gems, visit the ol boys Myspace and show him some respect. And if you love it, you can buy their Bravado EP HERE.

[Little Boots + Buffetlibre + Sidechains]

Ok when I've said before that I couldn't get enough of Little Boots, I think someone was listening.. 'cause I check my inbox and find like a zillion LB remixes for her new single 'Remedy'. Boss. To make awesome even more awesome, I have some new material from the always stellar Spaniard producers, Buffetlibre AND Sidechains. These guys are as good as they come and a both DH staples.

Their remix of Little Boots - Remedy is one of the best ones out right now. The remix is an exercise in European Club 101, at the Masters level. Right from the start Buffetlibre and Sidechains keep you dancing, while throwing Little Boots around like a rag doll, even tossing in some drum and bass to keep you on your feet. If you think you've got it all figured out, you don't. Keep you on your feet they do, making this one ripe to be a club favorite.

Little Boots - Remedy (Buffetlibre vs. Sidechains Remix)

Since we like to keep you coming back, how about some more Buffetlibre? Deal. Let us present to you Buffetlibre's remix of Cartridge - The Woods. I have not been in the loop with Cartridge like a good boy should, but damn this track is brilliant.. who do I thank, Cartridge or Buffetlibre? Who cares I guess, 'cause you don't look a gift horse in the mouf. What we have here sounds like a brilliant bastard child of MGMT meets Passion Pit meets Miike Snow. Off the hook!

Cartridge - The Woods (Buffetlibre Remix)

Ok back to the Little Boots Remedy Remix Extravaganza! We have 3 more remixes of the track from 3 different producers. Discobloodbath, Crazi Cousinz, and Rusko all try their hand at reworking the track. The Crazi Cousinz remix is spacier and more synth infused than the others. If you like Little Boots trippy with transformed vocals, this is your track.

Little Boots - Remedy (Crazy Couzins Remix)

If you like that slow... very slow, electro-hop kind of remix, you'll dig the one by Rusko. Hell, they even throw in some 8-bit beats at the end if you didn't like it already.

Little Boots - Remedy (Rusko Remix)

And if the previous remix wasn't slow enough, this one beats the track to near death til' its at a mere crawl. Heavily dominated by droned out tones and drums, if you're into those 90's type power anthems, you'll love it, if not... stick to the others.

Little Boots - Remedy (Discobloodbath Remix)

Since things are going in my favor with receiving the goods lately, here's hoping Little Boots makes a tour around here. Keep up to date on where she's touring by checking her Myspace, and drop her a kind word while you're there. Do the same for Buffetlibre, Sidechains, and Cartridge as well, 'cause they're good people with some serious skills yo.

[WORSHIP]

We have a very special treat for you, by way of Synth-Meister WORSHIP, one of Switzerland's finest exports since Swiss Miss. WORSHIP works his magic on the new track "Wishmaster" from the wonderful Parisian glam producer, Bestrack. The incredibly playful remix masters the use of the cut up distorted vocal like that of Mashepest. Throw in the intangibles that makes WORSHIP such a unique musician, while staying true to the genre, and you've got one amazing piece. WORSHIP has been an up and coming producer for a hot minute, but reworks like this put him up there with the best, leading the pack.

Bestrack - Wishmaster (WORSHIP Remix)

I've said it before and I'll say it again, On The Fruit Records is definitely one of the best labels out there, with class acts as Double Dragon, PILLAGE, FREAK YOU, NOTe FOUND, and of course WORSHIP. If you like what you hear, check out his Myspace... and worship.
