Dragon Energy – A Kanye Remix EP [Part 2] by Back Talk

/in , /by

The inventive electronic trio “Back Talk” just dropped a new project where they reimagined seven of their favorite Kanye songs with their own unique spin. The group was inspired after passing around “Season 2” of Dissect, a podcast centering on the creation of Kanye’s greatest album MBDTF. The podcast was a catalyst for the group to discuss how much the music and career of West had inspired their own production and creative endeavors. The discussion led to the idea of remixing a Kanye song but the idea came “Why stop at just one?”. Enter “Dragon Energy” Back Talks remix EP that spans some of Kanye’s most triumphant albums, but this is only the start, Back Talk claims to have even more completed remixes in the vault, but ran into copyright issues on the streaming services. Stream all seven public remixes here.

TBE-Best-of-2012-Covers

Cover songs are still my favorite way for emerging bands to put their own sound on a hit song and get easy attention. However 2012 was for some reason a slow year for cover songs. Luckily a handful of bands did them well and left us with flipped and twisted takes on old classics and net hits alike. Here are my 10 favorites (#1 at the bottom). What did I miss? Read more

[QUICKIE/COVER] Oberhofer – TIME CAPSULES II (w/ “I Could Go”) + “Runaway” (Kanye West cover)

and I don’t have a clue what that look on your face is all about

It’s redundant ’cause you know I love Oberhofer but this album is sunshine and fast cars. Big, fun, and catchy as hell. Listen all summer.

Plus this Kanye cover is just further evidence of the talent at work here.

[Quickies are mini-reviews that can fit into a 140 character tweet. They are of albums that people already know of but perhaps are curious about our take on it. What did you think of the disc?]

Brandon’s TBE Digest 31 – [12.11.2011] New Jams, Remixes, & Covers!

/11 Comments/in , , , /by

Artwork by Jacob Youngblood Ziegler

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.

This may be the last Digest I do like this. I’d really like to take the time to give the best of these tracks the solo post they deserve. If anyone feels strongly about this news leave it in the comments below. Otherwise rock on Wayne and rock on Garth.
