Remix Rush :: Hey Girl, Hey Boy

Soulwax is making quite the buzz lately. Blog readers everywhere were nearly peeing their pants with anticipation for the release of the Soulwax remix of MGMT's "Kids". This is really nothing new though. Remixes of The Gossip's "Standing in the Way of Control" and Klaxon's "Gravity's Rainbow" will go down as some of my favorite remixes of all time. Now they have released the remix of Chemical Brothers' track "Hey Boy, Hey Girl that is just amazing. The gritty baseline in this remix is enough to make the hairs on the back on your neck stand up. I can only imagine what it would be like to see Soulwax live and listen to them perform these remixes they are putting out.

MGMT

I am a little behind on this one, and I can't believe I didn't start listening to MGMT (their website is horribly awesome) until just recently. When I think of music of the current decade, I think of music inspired by the past revisited and done right this time. MGMT sounds like classic rock done right. Their first full length album Oracular Spectacular was released in stores in January of this year. It was only after hearing the remix Justice did of MGMT's track "Electric Feel" that I decided to check them out. After hearing the original version of the song I discovered that I actually like it better than Justice's version (even though it's a great remix), and I love the entire album.
