My friends over at the at Kitsuné have recently released another fantastic club/electro compilation. Entitled "Kitsuné: Gildas and Masaya - Tokyo" after the creators of the Kitsuné label Gildas Loaëc and Masaya Kuroki's Tokyo sessions, this pulse pounding mix is a feeling of pure enjoyment that spreads throughout your body causing involuntary dancing and mind orgasms. The music is perfect whether you're in the club or in the car. Personally, I don't go anywhere after 9pm without it blasting. The album features a slew of remixes woven in with original songs. As with any good electro mix, the songs merge and dissipate seamlessly; sometimes you won't know where one song ends and the next begins.
I'm gonna point out a couple tracks here (although they're all amazing):
First, check out "Starlighter" by Jupiter. I'd never heard of them until recently but they're tearing it up these days. They haven't really put out a bad song to date. Just don't get them confused with the other Jupiter on iTunes (they're a bad disco cover band).
I think we've all gotten a little tired of Phoenix these days. I know I have. But this remix of Lisztomania really revitalizes the song and makes it sound fresh. Listening to it will produce the same glee that you felt when you first heard the song, you know, before it got played 1,356,798,800,238,000 times!
Which segways right into another of my favorites "Back Down (Cut Copy Jackmaster Remix)." Munk is just pure genius. If you haven't already, check out their song "Down in L.A. (Shazam Remix)." It's a must have for L.A. residents and an awesome song for non-Angelinos as well. Their latest album is called "Cloudbuster," which is good, but I'd recommend getting the remixes of those songs. And Cut Copy just goes to town on this with some throbbing piano, ambient sonic architecture and a lot of cowbell.
Last of my favorites is the one you can't buy individually. You have to drop down for the whole album in order to hear the magical wonder of "Rich Girls (The Twelves Remix)." Normally, I'd say not to buy an album for one song, but since the actual album is sooooo good (and since it's a mix that needs to be heard in it's entirety), I have to recommend buying the entire thing. God "Rich Girls" is already a great song by itself just enhanced to heaven by The Twelves. Seriously just jump to 55.50 on the soundcloud mp3 and listen to it.
