Presets and Hail Social

Alright, I am back to uploading stuff on a regular basis. I still don't have the web space I'm wanting to be capable of posting through direct links, oh well. I guess for now YSI and Zshare will have to do. Since I am still in the process of getting started and situated, I don't have the connections to be the first to post new songs. I want to be the eyes and ears of people, and try to post only new music that I actually like. You'll hear me playing most of the songs out on my DJ sets at Flaunt.

I have a theory that most bloggers try to post new music, good or not simply to attract readers. This turns the blog world into quite the daunting source for new music. Never before had I needed to weed through so much awful music just to find one or two good songs.

Now that the rant is over, on to the music.

Fluokids always seems to be in on the newest stuff first. This Zombie Nation remix of "This Boy's in Love" by The Presets is no exception. I love the original, it's a bit campy, but that's The Presets. They've definitely changed since Beams was released. They have matured a bit and replaced their angular tension with a straighter house feel. At the same time, they still haven't lost any of the angst that makes them such a strong force in modern electro. Zombie Nation took their hypnotic 80's disco song and turned it into a dance epic.

I'll be honest, I hadn't heard Hail Social until I recently heard the wonderful Designer Drugs remix of "Heaven." It turns out that they will just recently released a new EP. This song has been stuck in my head for the last for weeks. The singers vocals are absolutely mesmerizing and lend himself to be remixed beautifully. If you'd like to read more about them you can go to IHEARTCOMIX where you'll also be able to get the Hot Pink Delorean Remix.
