[REMIX] Bravestation – “Signs of the Civilized (Polarsets Remix)”

i would never ask for more but if you want more then i want more

♫ Bravestation – Signs of the Civilized (Polarsets Remix)

When The Polarsets aren’t laying down their Anglo-tropical grooves at TBE’s SXSW showcases they sometimes work humble voodoo on other people’s songs. I’ve passed on a handful of Bravestation tracks over the years but this bouncy bubble of a remix has been transformed into something else. Something perfect for summer.… continue reading

[Minimix] Gigamesh – All My Life EP (preview)

Gigamesh, a TBE favorite, has been blowing up our dancing shoes since the days of Discotech remixing T.I.  Gigamesh is what I like to call a Dance-Floor-Scoot-N-Booter…  Don’t worry, I just made that up, but you get the picture.  If rugs were on dance floors, our boy Gigamesh would be burnin em up.  So, it should come as no surprise that we were excited when we received a notification that he was dropping and EP with 4 original tracks.

That said, it … continue reading

[EXCLUSIVE] Aiden Grimshaw – Is This Love (II Figures Remix)

As a brutally honest person, I won’t lie for one second… I’m not a fan of any of these reality music series.  The worst are the American versions- producing nothing but boring formula music year after year.  Personally, I think one of the best moments in this genre of television was the famous Calvin Harris pineapple joke.  

So, it should come as no surprise that before today, I had no idea who this Aiden Grimshaw fellow was.  That is until a peek through my inbox brought me to continue reading
