C+A+D favorite Kids at the Bar & their Killpop labelmate Crizzly just dropped this dubstep track on Friday, and after a couple takes I can’t say I’m not impressed. A step different from what we’ve come to expect from KATB but really liking what they and Crizzly did with it. Check out the YOLO Mention on KATB and keep an eye out for more grime from Crizzly.

Kids at the Bar teamed up with their friend Kroyclub from KILLPOP to finally put out another remix! These guys are among my favorite remixers. I’ve been following them more closely recently, so I’m glad I caught this one early. They’ve taken a big step forward as far as their filthy synths go, but I can’t expect anything less than a banger from these guys. Only streamable at the moment, but should be released soon Cherrytree/Interscope Records. Check them out on facebook. They’re actually really interactive with their fans. Always down. Enjoy with caution:
Deadmau5 & Wolfgang Gartner – Animal Rights (Kids At The Bar EDIT)
Daft Punk – Technologic (Kids at the Bar Remix)

I know I just posted on these guys a few days ago, but they felt my appraisal and threw another remix together a couple days later. I was gonna put this and the delightful treat in the YOLO list coming up, but there’s so much this week that I didn’t want to overwhelm you. So Kids at the Bar decided to add one more banger to their résumé this week. This time they put a ravey spin on Glasnost‘s originally disco-funky track, “Corridor.” Adding a plethora of heavy bass and synth that’s a treat in itself. My only qualm is that it doesn’t drop with a slamming snare the second time around..kinda plateaus when it has much more potential. You’ll see.
Glasnost – Corridor (Kids at the Bar Remix)

TC – Deep (Jack Beats Remix)
I heard this song for the first time at Hard Haunted 2010 and it came back into my life in their Warehouse Project video. I was happy to find that it’s been released, but not in its entirety…don’t know when or if we’ll get the whole thing, but this is sick as fuck. The glitchy wobble leaves me speechless every time.

Another YOLO list native, Kids at the Bar, makes their way back on your weekly melting pot of Grade A sounds. I first heard these guys back when Chronic Mncher told me about the remix album of Daft Punk’s Human After All, aptly named Remix After All. After shuffling through some mediocre-at-best renditions of the originals, I landed on “Technologic (Kids At the Bar Remix).” After a few seconds you start to wonder if these guys are here to fuck around, and at about one minute you realize in fact, that, no..they’re not. Their sound encompasses some of the grimiest raved-out synths you can come by, much like that of Bloody Beetroots. They’re fairly liberal when it comes to hard hitting bass, and it all comes together in the best way possible. KATB still manages to stay lighthearted with their own versions of over-remixed indie greats like Empire of the Sun and Passion Pit. These guys are fairly consistent with their remixes/edits, and when it clicks, the music takes over. The only things that are missing are a warehouse, about 2-300 people, fog lights, and lasers…I can only imagine how fun it would be to catch these guys live.

Not too much going down in the music world this past week. Although, I did make it to a new weekly event at Drai’s Penthouse in Hollywood to see Basement Jaxx spin alongside HARD‘s own Gary Richards (aka Destructo). Pretty cool night at an even cooler hotel. The vibes, although, I could do without. Pretty much the epitome of high class Hollywood clubbers who know they are better than you. Regardless, it was an experience. It was nice to see Basement Jaxx for free, because I wasn’t able to make it to Smokeout Fest due to unforeseen circumstances. Oh well…there’ll be others!
Delightful Mention!
Artist: The Growlers
There’s something about bands with a timeless sound that always get me. The first time I heard these guys, I could have sworn they were just a bad ass surf/rock/psychadelic band from the 70s, only to find they’re in their mid 20s and local! The Growlers, Costa Mesa’s own, are definitely making a name for themselves, as they should be. The first time I went to see them was at one of their warehouse shows they threw from time to time. Really cool set up. $2 for entry and you get a couples CD with some random songs they had wrote, which ended up becoming collector’s items. They set up the warehouse very creatively and had a bar for everyone. We need more bands to do this. Now they’re opening for the likes off Dr. Dog, The Strokes’ Julian Casablancas, and most recently The Black Keys. I saw them when they opened for Julian Casablancas with The Strange Boys. Awesome show. All these bands are worth a listen and have made it on a YOLO List or will at some point, so check them out. They just released an EP called Hot Tropics which you can read more about and download at Let Your Hair Down. Looking forward to their full length.
Artist: Kids At The Bar
Another dancy/electronic DJ duo that is bound to make it in the libraries of every electronic fan out there. Just like I called it with the Bloody Beetroots, Jack Beats, The Twelves and Felguk, these guys are going to do big things in the future. They just need to be heard. Kids At The Bar are remix extraordinaires, and that’s how you have to start. Take a song thats big and put your own spin on it. They have all ready developed their own sound, which is crucial, and theirs is more favorable then most. Their “Walking on a Dream” remix is my favorite rendition of the song. It was the first I heard from them, and “love at first listen” is an understatement. I’ll throw it up in case you missed it. Watch out for these guys.
Empire of the Sun – Walking on a Dream (Kids At The Bar Remix)
Artist: The Black Keys
All my rock lovers look no further, as these guys are gods amongst men. The Black Keys consists of singer/guitarist Dan Auerbach and drummer Patrick Carney. They specialize in lo-fi psychedelic rock and blues. These guys formed in 2001, and in 2003 Rolling Stone named them one of the top ten best acts behind Outkast and the White Stripes. I had heard about these guys the first time back in 2006 upon their release of Magic Potion, but it took until their most recent release of Brothers for them to really hit home. I’ve always been an advocate of the lo-fi rock sound, and these guys have damn well nearly perfected it. Another one of those timeless sounding bands that any rock or soul lover is bound to enjoy. The whole Brothers album is a work of art and has taken up a majority of my listening time the past couple weeks. They’ve got a massive discography, so I suggest you get started now.
