Boy 8-Bit - “Bulbs Burn Out”
I’ve been really in to Boy 8-Bit for a while now — since I heard “Suspense is Killing Me” on that I Like Turtles mix by Diplo that everyone went crazy for last year. He’s been busy remixing the likes of Black Ghosts (also in love with them at the moment) and Burial, and releasing his first EP on Mad Decent (get it at Beatport, iTunes, or just about anywhere else that sells good music) since then. This track is off that EP.
And if you like this, in a blog post last week on Mad Decent, he announced a mix for Mad Decent Radio (actually a podcast), another mix that’s never been posted before, and posted an mp3 of “Ghost House”, which he calls the sequel to “Suspense is Killing Me”. There’s also plenty more (including many of his remixes) on Hype Machine, of course.
The Black Ghosts - “Any Way You Choose To Give It (Fake Blood Mix)”
London’s The Black Ghosts’ debut full-length isn’t due until July 8th, but the hype has been building for over a year. And they’ve been tearing up dance floors all over Britain for at least that long with their dirty, synth-heavy electro.
This remix of “Any Way You Choose To Give It”, by Fake Blood — who’s also been tearing up the electro scene recently — got a lot of attention from the likes of Errol Alkan and Annie Mac last year, and plenty from myself this year.
There’s plenty more where this came from on their MySpace. Also recommended is The Black Ghosts’ “Mixtape” mixtape, that Missingtoof posted a few weeks ago.
