Teenage Bad Girl - Keep Up With You EP

Everyone wants some Teenage Bad Girl for Valentines day! And while that statement might prompt calls to child protective services in some circles, in dance music circles this statement rings universally true. Today the French electronic duo and Archibel Records owners and Guillaume Manbell and Greg Kazbuski of Teenage Bad Girl released the Keep Up With You EP on Citizen Records. The original mix sounds like Van Halen's take on electro/house and needless to say it is phenomenal! The EP also contains fantastic and very diverse remixes from Louis La Roche, Depressed Button (formerly The Faint), Lifelike, and Huoratron. I highly recommend that you purchase the whole damn thing on Beatport, because it fucking rocks. And keep your fingers crossed for a Teenage Bad Girl LP hopefully coming soon.

Citizen Records Bonus: Italian production duo Produkkt recently released a fantastic EP on Citizen Records. The EP is titled Invasion and it features three originals and remixes from huge talents like Irish Steph, Cyberpunkers, Adriano Canzian. Check the whole thing out below and follow the link in the player to buy.

Kontact Me Remixes

Boys Noize Records just released the newest remix album for the single Kontact Me, off Boy Noize's newest LP Power. This is by far the best remix album Boys Noize has put out to follow the release of Power, and thats a big statement considering Tiga and Mr. Oizo putting out mixes for the Transmission Remix album which was also huge. However remixes by the likes of Housemister, Beataucue, Jan Driver, Rynecologist and Depressed Buttons make for an absolutely fantastic release from BNR.
Depressed Button was born out of the much loved dance punk band from Omaha, Nebraska known as The Faint. The Techno trio Depressed Buttons is made up of Todd Fink (Vocals, Keyboard in The Faint), Clark Baechle (Drums in The Faint) and Jacob Thiele (Keyboards, Backing Vox in The Faint). I love their remix of Transmission and who knows, much rumored Supergroup Colossus consisting of The Faint, Boys Noize and Steve Aoki may not even feature Todd Fink on the mic and could even have a strait techno sound. Check out their new remix and speculate all you want, the debut Colossus EP is going to drop on Dim Mak records some time this year. Also Swing by Depressed Buttons' website and scope their blog, which is super dope.
The Rynecologist Remix is posted because its is also phenomenal, and I promise that I will post more on this dope Canadian producer very soon. You can also grab the Beataucue Remix of Kontact Me, that I posted ages ago in 128kbps right here and buy the whole thing in glorious 320kbps over at Beatport.


Bonus: I love got so much love for Felix Cartal's Popular Music LP, released on Aoki's Dim Mak Records. "Why Wait" is a super solid track off Popular Music, I definitely recommend that you you snatch it now. Maybe this will be more similar to Colossus' sound, who knows?
