le_switch remixes & cover versions

Just an about 10 years old remix of this classic track. I combined it with samples from the John Foxx Tracks "plaza" and "swimmer 2". I never had the multi-tracks of it and also lost some of my old data therefore the mixing is quite questionable and it never went over a rough demo stadium. But somehow I still like the groove of it. I hope you too...

Inspired by post-punk fervor and the spiky pop of C86 and early Flying Nun / Creation label output, San Francisco’s Brilliant Colors stake out a unique spot in the indie music landscape. Their 2009 album, Introducing, is one of the finest debuts in recent memory, and they followed it with 7-inches on Slumberland and Make a Mess and a European tour with La La Vasquez that led to the release of another great single on Germs of Youth. Most recently, they teamed up with Belfast’s brilliant Girls Names to release a split 7-inch in Fall 2010. All of these singles were recorded with Oakland garage phenom Ty Segall, who spiked the ladies’ punk-pop swirl with his own special grit.

Now Brilliant Colors have teamed up again with The Pool's Alex Yusimov (who recorded their first album as well as Grass Widow and many of Portland's finest indie bands) to create "Again And Again," an album that represents a great next step for the band. The song-writing is still as infectious as ever, but the tunes are now more carefully arranged pushing the band far beyond their punk roots to something as elemental as pop gets. Songs like opener "Hey Dan," the sprightly "Value Lines" and "Hitting Traffic" combine guitarist/singer Jess' catchy-as-hell riffs with Diane's steady, rolling beats and Michelle's dense baselines to fashion songs that are deceptively simple -- straightforwardly rocking but also richly layered, revealing new twists on each listen.

The mood is confessional and late-night dreamy; Jess' unadorned vocals and eloquent lyrics are personal, direct and atmospherically deployed, mixed in with the songs like another instrument. They can be heard to great effect on tougher songs like "Back To The Tricks" and "Painting Truths," tempering those tunes' punchy punk dynamics with their melodic sensibility. Add in classic-sounding stormers like "Cult Face" and "How Much Younger" and you have all the makings of another great Brilliant Colors album, one that shows how finely they've honed their own unique brand punk-informed crash-pop.


Brilliant Colors - How Much Younger

DJ Elmur - Let It Rock vol. 2

Big Troubles were formed by a group of kids who had been friends since high school, playing in bands, listening to records and coming of musical age together. As children of the 00's they're lucky enough to have a vast history of pop and indie rock to draw upon. Like the best of their peers they're omnivorous musical consumers, as enamored of classic Brit Pop gems as they are of 90s slacker indie rock. Led by two very gifted singer/song-writers in Alex Craig and Ian Drennan, Big Troubles are that rare beast: a band with two distinctive musical voices that smoothly mesh to create one integrated personality.

Early recordings by the pair were of the lo-fi home recorded variety, but over time they've grown (with the addition of drummer Sam Franklin and bassist Luka Usmiani) into a full four piece band to more fully realize their tunes. Their first album Worry (2010) and its attendant singles were excellent fuzz pop records in their own right, but to make their new record the band has taken the step of bringing in help in the form of the legendary Mitch Easter, whose resume includes stone cold classics from the likes of REM, Pavement and his own Let's Active. With Mr. Easter's expert engineering help, Big Troubles' excellent new album "Romantic Comedy" is a masterpiece of modern pop; a perfect balance of grit and polish, gorgeous guitar sounds and angelic vocals, underpinned by a set of superb songs.

"Romantic Comedy" kicks off with "She Smiles For Pictures," a brilliant slice of jangle-pop marked by an ear-tugging guitar lead and gorgeous choirboy vocals. "Misery" is a perfect 2:23 of teen angst, fired by a huge bassline and echoed, chorused riffs that are as much 90s Brit Pop as they are 00s indie rock. First single "Sad Girls" is a lovely slice of updated power-pop based on a catchy stop-start verse that gives way to an indelible, spiraling chorus; this tune is as big and bright as they come. "You'll Be Laughing" gears down for a nuanced meditation on suburban ennui, showing that this band had more up its collective sleeve than just kicking out pop anthems.

And so the record continues, through sure-fire entries into the noise-pop canon like the Boo Radleys-esque "Minor Keys," the lovely rush of "Softer Than Science" and the glam-tinged feedback-fest that is "Time Bomb." "Romantic Comedy" wraps up with the dreamy "Engine" and the driving "Never Mine," adding two more gems to this excellent album. Big Troubles have that very rare combination of taste, skill and talent, and aided by Mr. Easter's recording acumen they've created a virtually perfect modern pop album -- one that tips its hat to choice bits of pop past and present, but at the same time creates something totally fresh.

Fritz Lang is one of my favorite directors and the Sisters of Mercy are one of my alltime favorite bands!!! To remix one of their songs is kind of a sacrilege but in this case I thought "body electric" could need some little extras. Finally it became more "electric" and more "Metropolis"... Hope you 
like it!

The Sisters Of Mercy - Body Electric (metropolis remix by le_switch)

After spending the bulk of the past year on the road in support of last November's excellent "Sports" LP on Slumberland Records, Weekend have also been hard at work on their followup record. Prior to their European tour in July, the band spent three weeks in the studio with producer Monte Vallier crafting their new EP, simply titled "Red." Prepare yourself for yet another gorgeous, violent sonic assault, because this EP packs a serious punch.

Opener "Sweet Sixteen" is mesmerizing grind, stately bass and drums underpinned by soaring vocals and echoed shards of guitar feedback and plucked notes. This leads directly into the noise-pop gem that is "Hazel" -- 3:50 of cascading bass chords, guitar clangor and a melody and chorus most pop bands would kill for. Amazing. "Your Own Nothing" is clattering piece of post-punk, spiked with layers of guitar noise and a dubbed-out atmosphere. 

"The One You Want" is a rather more straight-forward tune in the manner of "Hazel" and further proof that Weekend can craft melodies just as well as they can innovate with guitar textures and dazzle with sonic overload. The EP concludes with "Golfers," a song that downshifts into an extended minimal intro before building to a gorgeous crescendo of rumbling drums, chiming/fizzing guitars and as always that unerring sense of melody that Weekend always have in even the most noise-laden tunes.

"Red" is an excellent EP that packs more ideas into 5 songs than a lot of bands do into a whole record, and points the way forward towards Weekend's next long-player, due in 2012. Be sure to catch them on tour throughout September with Talk Normal.

Bruno FM - Sexy Barbie girl (Radio edit)

Riders on the Storm, what a classic! I just had the vision of a later Jim Morrison, highly stoned with a frozen beard standing in an arctic landscape next to a  snowy highway. A blizzard is howling and he is waiting for some sweet family to give him a ride...Actually worth a video clip. 
For the technical details Beside the acapella of "riders on the storm" this track features elements of "the order of death" by PIL, Billy Idols "white wedding", "blasphemous rumours " by Depeche Mode and "here comes the rain again" by the eurythmics. Among the used instruments were 2 of my all time favourites, the Roland SH-1 and the Movement Drum System 2. Enjoy!

Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart (Christian Strobe Remix)

Played on steel string acoustic guitar converted to a Cuban tres.  Dr-Rhythm 770 providing the backing percussion.  

Recorded live by Zoom H4.

Inspired by this tune from Veracruz, Mexico covered by Los Super Seven (Los Lobos) album "Canto": http://www.myspace.com/video/sergio/los-super-seven-el-pescador/52633272 .

There's probably a bit of Joe Strummer's "Mondo Bongo" vibe in there too......need to lay an accordion track on top of this.....

El Pescador
(Lorenzo Barcelata)

El pescador se hizo a la mar,
lleva en su alma una dulce ilusión,
contento va, porque al remar,
piensa en su amada que en tierra dejó.

Boga Marinero, boga ya,
se perdió de vista el malecón
y su vela blanca sobre el mar,
será su ultimo adios.

De Veracruz, vengo hasta aquí
linda jarocha a cantar mi pregón
de Veracruz, vengo hasta aquí
linda jarocha a cantar mi pregón.

Traigo huachinango cómprelo,
pulpo fresquecito y camarón,
pero en el anzuelo de tu amor
cayó mi corazón.

De Veracruz yo vengo, yo vengo de Veracruz
pero en el anzuelo de tu amor
cayó este pobre corazón.
De Veracruz yo vengo, yo vengo de Veracruz.
Dime que me diste con tu amor mi negrita
que se rindió mi corazón.
De Veracruz yo vengo, yo vengo de Veracruz
pero en el anzuelo de tu amor jarochita
cayó este pobre pescador.

De Veracruz, vengo hasta aquí
linda jarocha a cantar mi pregón
de Veracruz, vengo hasta aquí
linda jarocha a cantar mi pregón.

Traigo huachinango cómprelo,
jaiba fresquecita y camarón
pero en el anzuelo de tu amor
cayó mi corazón.

De Veracruz yo vengo, yo vengo de Veracruz
pero en el anzuelo de tu amor
cayó este pobre corazón.
De Veracruz yo vengo, yo vengo de Veracruz.
Dime que me diste con tu amor mi negrita
que se rindió mi corazón.
De Veracruz yo vengo, yo vengo de Veracruz
pero en el anzuelo de tu amor nene
cayó este pobre pescador.
De Veracruz yo vengo, yo vengo de Veracruz

The Pains of Being Pure At Heart had quite a run over the last eighteen months. They released their self-titled debut last February to universal acclaim, racking up features in magazines like Spin, Rolling Stone and NME, earning Best New Music status from Pitchfork, and touring the US and Europe non-stop. They began 2010 with a month-long tour of Japan, New Zealand and Australia, and are wrapping it up with a series of west coast dates with labelmates Weekend and a sure-to-be-triumphant return to England.

All the while they've been working on new songs, releasing the excellent single Say No To Love in June and beginning work on their eagerly-anticipated second album. To help bring this new batch of tunes to life they've enlisted the help of producer Flood (Smashing Pumpkins, U2, PJ Harvey) and ace mixer Alan Moulder (My Bloody Valentine, The Jesus & Mary Chain, Arctic Monkeys). The result is a massive sounding album, sonically ambitious but still grounded in the peerless song-craft that The Pains are known for.

"Heart In Your Heartbreak" is the first preview from the new album, and it's a perfect snapshot of where the Pains are headed in 2011. An infectious slice of chunky power-pop with a great beat, sweeping synths and well-placed guitar jangle, it's immediately obvious that the new production team has brought out the best in the band. It's pure Pains all the way, but bolder, louder and more confident.
