Fever Ray – Seven (The Twelves Remix), PMA Premiere

Fever Ray’s current single “Seven” is a smooth, filmy track about daydreaming in your youth… about suicide. At least that’s what I got from it. But despite it’s dark undertones, there’s no reason why “Seven” shouldn’t be a jam.
The Twelves and I shared these sentiments and I’m psyched to premiere their Halloween-like disco remix of Fever Ray’s “Seven.” Continue reading →

The Twelves – Nightvision (Daft Punk Cover)

“Nightvision” was a filler track on Daft Punk’s Discovery that ran for a minute and forty-five seconds, yet this Twelves track is credited with being a cover of that. Oh, I should also mention that this “cover” runs for nearly 5 minutes. What the Twelves have done here is create something new and full of life. I guess this could have easily been called a remix, but it is Cover Tuesday so we’ll go with that.
The Twelves have been constantly coming up with hits like this for months now and it doesn’t get as disco-fresh as this right here. Listen to “Nightvision” here. Continue reading →

La Roux – In For The Kill + The Twelves

La Roux – In For The Kill / (The Twelves Remix)
Earlier this year I told you all to keep an eye out for La Roux. Her single “Quicksand” was pretty fantastic, and the next one, “In For The Kill” is just as great. “In For The Kill” continues what “Quicksand” started and runs with the same Robyn / Little Boots vibe that has brought her so much attention (and rightfully so). The Twelves have even taken an interest in La Roux. Their remix of “In For The Kill” slows things for a bit, until they’re ready to drop a retro beat over some whacky synths — I can easily pass for an MGMT song. The remix is good, but the original is much, much better. Listen to both after the jump! Continue reading →

pmaCAST #3 – The “Best Remixes of 2008″ Episode

Alright, a lot of you left comments and emails asking me to podcast this years Best Remixes list, so here you have it. This is probably the only time I will have an episode of the pmaCAST be 100% remix. I know you have to be in a certain mood to listen to a remix, so I tend to steer clear from those in podcasts. Whatever the case, let me know how/if you like your remixes on your podcasts.
Not much so say here, refer to my Best Remixes of 2008 list for more on why I chose the remixes that I did. Enjoy your almost-an-entire hour of pmaCAST. A less danceable podcast is to come in a few days. I’m already almost done with it.
