New Remix: Pantera – Cowboys from Hell (LehtMoJoe Remix)

Jemex — Tue, 16 Mar 2010 14:38:29 +0000

Really digging this latest remix from LehtMoJoe. Fresh off of producing AnonymousCulture’s The Intervention, he has remixed Pantera’s hard hitting track “Cowboys from Hell” and turned it into an electro gem.

Man does this thing bang, the crunchy guitars, courtesy of Dimebag Darrell, just pierce through funky backbeat and Phil Anselmo’s screams give the track the energy that it needs to get the floor bumpin’.

What you think?

Lost In Space: The Car Is On Fire

Jemex — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 20:39:04 +0000

Monday afternoon is here and with it comes a track from Poland band, The Car is On Fire. Their story goes something like this:

In the 1960s, the government of Poland attempted to secretly join the so-called “Star Wars” program. Alone in this endeavor, however and with confidence in short supply, it failed to live up to the standards set by the superpowers of the time. Though it did manage to send three astronauts into space. “The Car Is on Fire” team was to fulfill a project known by the code-name “Ombarrops!”. Their research was assigned to Soma station, headed by John McEntire, well-known for his participation in such expeditions as “Tortoise”, “The Sea and Cake”, “Stereolab” or lately “Broken Social Scene”.

Unfortunately, on the way back home, their capsule ran out of fuel, leaving them all alone in the abyss of endless space until this day. Their country abandoned them a long time ago, so they’ve decided to send this message into the ether, hoping to be saved someday…

Download Pretty Lights’ Latest EP, Making Up A Changing Mind

Jemex — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 16:45:22 +0000

Colorado-based producer Pretty Lights, aka Derek Vincent Smith, has released his first EP, Making Up A Changing Mind, of an ambitious trilogy project. What makes this project cool is that Pretty Lights is putting himself on a tight deadline. In an effort to get his music directly to his fans as soon as it’s written, Derek will record the EPs only a few weeks before each release.

His music is a combination of electro and hip hop with dub overtones that pack a fresh and innovative sound. Using real instrumentation as well as some dope samples, his music is chill and laid back, but still packs enough energy to keep you on your toes.

The next two EP’s will be released on June 15th and October 12 of this year, but in the meantime check out his website for a free download of Making Up A Changing Mind.

Welcome: Francois Peglau

Jemex — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 15:48:08 +0000

His name is Francois Peglau and he is a Peruvian/Argentinean/French musician that now lives in London. In Peru, he used to play in Los Fuckin Sombreros, but left for greener pastures. Those greener pastures led to his current solo project.

When he and his wife moved to London, they found themselves in a whole new world starting from scratch. He decided that it would be pretty cool to musically document their acclimation to European life. This led him to build a small studio in their apartment to start writing music that was inspired by these new experiences.

The best way to describe his music is lo-fi indie rock that is a throwback to 60’s style rock/folk pop with a modern electronic twist. What I’m really digging about this guy’s sound is his vocals. Besides the falsettos, he seems to manipulate them through generous eq’ing and effects. When you add that to the melodic song writing, you have something that is reminiscent of Neon Indian x The Beatles.

New Remix: Snoop Dogg & Kid Cudi – That Tree (The Soundmen Remix)

Jemex — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 19:45:57 +0000

I always love when a producer/artist can drastically rip apart a song and remix into something completely different. This was the case with NY/Seattle duo The Soundmen and their remix of Snoop Dogg’s track “That Tree.” They took a typical sounding Snoop song and morphed it into a sweet indie electro pop track. Never did I think that a song could undergo such a drastic change. It is without a doubt worth checking out, you wont be disappointed.

If Passion Pit was to mack it to The Supremes, Chicago group, The Dirty Diamonds, would be their offspring. They have released their their 2nd EP, Monster Ballads, produced by Supreme Cuts and Executive Produced Curt Cameruci of Flosstradamus. Surprisingly their sound works really well. Check out the soulful feel good first single, “Right Direction,” below.

@MeYouUsThem Gearing Up To Release Full Length Debut ‘Post-Data’

Jemex — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 21:28:06 +0000

Brooklyn indie rockers Me You Us Them are set to release their forthcoming full-length, Post-Data, on April 27th through Triple Down Records.

The first single from the album, “Any Time,” is a real gem of a track that grabs you from the 1st second with a melee of distorted guitar sound effects that lead into a sultry indie pop jam that finds the band pushing the limits of indie rock. This track is a departure from the stuff they put out on their Ep #1 and I’m liking it a lot.

You can stream “Any Time” through the bands myspace page, or download it at meyousuthem.com. Check it out either way.

If your in NYC, the record release show will be April 25th at The Studio at Webster Hall with Appomattox and Monogold. Tickets can be purchased here

Gypsy-Punk Music from Samuel Stewart

Jemex — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 17:54:34 +0000

Samuel Stewart, a Londoner-by-way of LA, use to be part of the UK band Blondelle. Now he is flying with a new band form LA that makes some awesome gypsy-punk music that straight up reminds of Gogol Bordello if he were a little more reserved and had pop sensibility.

Drawing on influences from Roxy Music to The Pixies, he melds different styles and many instruments to create a sound that packs so much energy and fun that you cant help but to want more. Some of it can be dark, but that just adds to the mystery of the band and the songs they create.

LA peeps: you can check him out at the Hotel Cafe in Hollywood on Wednesday, March 24th at 10p

Kavinsky – Night Call

Jemex — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 16:38:22 +0000

“Night Call” is the latest single from French producer Kavinksy. The track evokes that sensual, epic and romantic French sound that we have come to know. It was produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo (1/2 of Daft Punk) and features vocals from CSS’s Lovefoxxx. The track is part organic, part robotic with each part talking to the other about the way they make them feel. When you add that dynamic with the beautiful ballad sounding production work you have track that is worth playing for a loved one.

“Night Call” will be released exclusively on iTunes with a remixes from Dustin NGuyen and Jackson on March 26. A full physical release will be in May.
