Remix Roundup Vol. 53 – 9.30.2011 [Cut Copy, Yelle, Beat Connection, KOPPS, and more…]
There once was a man that liked to electronic music, remixes, and the word cummerbund…Â That dude is me.
True Story: I was once told by a stranger at a wedding that the casual cummerbund exists…Â I think thats cool.
Green means go.

♫ Beat Connection – Silver Screen (Dreamtrak Diamond Sound remix) / Beat Connection represent the Seattle area with the best of em. Mix that with the remix masters Dreamtrack Diamond Sound and we’ve got something special. Enjoy.
♫ Cut Copy – Hearts on Fire (Dave Edwards Remix) / Somehow this massive chune slipped by me… Not so fast my friends.
Mashups: 9.21.2011 [Inspired Flight, DOSVEC, The White Panda and more…]
Its been a long time since I posted a Mashup only list, so I took a look at my itunes library and quickly realized that its time. As you know at TBE we only publish the best. Listen, download, pimp it out and rinse. Repeat.

Remix Roundup Vol. 50 – 9.1.2011 [Arcade Fire, Modest Mouse, Theophilus London, Active Child, and more… ]
And we’re off. After far too long a break and a road trip from hell, I’m back. Not just in Washington state, but I’m here to blow those sweet little eardrums out.
It’s hard to believe its been a year since Scott and I joined Brandon and took over the remix responsibilities for TBE. Yet here we are a year later, a year wiser, 360 days more disinguished and more handsome than ever.
So, let’s do this.
Remix Roundup Vol. 50.
Keep it Nurdy

♫ Jason Derulo – Don’t Wanna Go Home (SmarterChild Remix) / SmarterChild gave us his amazing remix of City and Colour’s “Fragile Bird” a few weeks back under his other production name Richard Powda’.  This time he drops a floor pleaser sure to melt dance floors around the world.  Fan his Facebook.
♫ Battlekat – Into The Forest (DREAMTRAK DIAMOND SOUND Remix) / Its not often enough we get DDS mixes, but it apears to be worth the wait. The synth build around the 2:40 mark is genius. Raise that glass and cheers to the heavens. Read more
Brandon’s TBE Digest 26 [8.10.2011] New Jams, Remixes, & Covers!
Brandon’s TBE Digest is a place where I gather up all the recent jams that are worth a listen (or 10) but don’t necessarily need their own post. Here you will find new tracks by known bands, remixes, covers, and even mashups if they are interesting. My favorites of the lot are in bold.
See that nifty little intro in italics up there? Yeah, it was brought to my attention that these Digests didn’t come with much in the way of explanation and even dedicated TBE readers may not really understand what the heck these are considering I haven’t explained them in about 22 volumes. Oops. Anyway, this Digest has some real jam-a-roonies so quit reading my baloney and get in there!

♫ Teddybears – Weed In A Rizzla (feat. Trimbal) / I really don’t know what to Read more
[PLAYLIST] The Best REMIXES of 2011 – Part 1 (Jan-June)
Strap on your shufflin’ shoes and make sure to stretch ’cause this list is an unmerciful messenger delivering jams of the highest quality. Some of these remixes have been banned by certain unenlightened governments for igniting dance parties and group high-fives so share with care.
This edition is chock full of TBE Remix alums and a few newbies shaking things up. Everyone’s favorite, Passion Pit, nab two spots while newbie Star Slinger clinches two more. In a massive non-surprise, RAC takes a heavy slice of this pie with a full 5 slots. Hey, it’s not my fault the guy is a genius. Stay tuned to the number 1 spot to see which brand-newcomers got the number 1 spot and then make sure to leave your thoughts and additions in the comments.
25 – ♫ Britney Spears – Till The World Ends (DOCTOR ROSEN ROSEN Remix) / This isn’t so much “Till The World Ends” but more “After The World Ended.” The Britney comeback party starter gets a post-apocalyptic haunted castle treatment with the “oooh oooh”s providing a completely different effect..
24 – ♫ Miami Horror – Holidays (Butcher Blades Recreational Disaster Remix) / Best name for a remix.
23 – ♫ Jump Jump Dance Dance – Modern Eyes (Vindata Remix) / Why doesn’t this remix have it’s own video of Read more

24 – ♫ The Weeknd – House Of Balloons/Glass Table Girls / Dark, dirty, and not for public consumption. But damn if I can’t get enough.
23 – ♫ Motopony – King of Diamonds / Should be higher up on the list but with another Motopony track below I am basically sneaking this track in. An amazing song.
22 – ♫ Vacationer – Trip / A love song written by Read more
Remix Roundup Vol. 43 – 4.29.2011 [LYKKE LI, MOBY, FOSTER THE PEOPLE, THE KLAXONS and more… ]
If you are an avid TBE follower you may have noticed we have had some hackers on our site lately. So, we thought we would let you know we’ve hired some robot ninjas to judo chop the shit out if them. Oh, you didn’t hear? Malware Ninjas to the funking rescue! They have laser beams, flying baby space saucers (just like the movie Battery), boob guns, and really… anything your imaginative mind could ever muster. They are now here to stay and solve any issue TBE may ever encounter. For now, in this thing we call “the mean time”, enjoy our latest edition of our Remix Roundups. Annnnd, by the wayss, we are experimenting with some new graphics from our local Austin friend Danielle Villarreal.
