Nothing short of amazing. A fave track covered by a fave band.

And it’s das perfect pop, too boot.

Very 80s sounding take. Very good.

Even if it’s not really my bag, I love the drama in this. Watch out for Miles solo album. Stunning.

MASHUPS OF THE MONTH

Kutiman – My Favorite Color [link]
Wow. WOW. Fuck dance, let’s art!
MadMixMustang – Alice in Boogie Wonderland [link]
Mad indeed. Insane rock disco. Extra plus for the title.
Fissunix – I was made just for show [link]
Wow! KISS meets Atmosphere in what must be the coolest mover of their career.
Phil RetroSpector – The Boys Are Back In Heaven [link]
Insane combo. So feckin cool. And it works!
Rolf Schraa – Hungry Like The Wolf [link]
Brilliant electro/techno mash with one of my fave Duran x2 tunes.

Dunproofin’s TOP 10

#00 Loleatta Holloway [link]
R.I.P.
#01 The Ramones – Blitzkreig Bop (Drop Out Orcherstra Rework) [link]
Standout track this month on APC – DOO demonstrating that whilst they have a signature style, it doesn’t mean all remixes sound exactly the same. More please.
#02 Stanton Warriors – Turn Me Up Som [link]
Banger. Can’t remember if this sneaked into last month’s chart or not, but certainly deserves repeated listening.
#03 Golden Girls – Kinetic (Lone Remix) [link]
It’s inevitable that anything Orbital related will grab my attention. Thankfully this remix does something genuinely interesting also with a classic.
#04 Nick Cave & UNKLE – Money & Run [link]
A match made in heaven – maybe sacrilegious to say so, but I think Cave finally finds the ideal medium for his vocal and style.
#05 John Legend – Rolling In The Deep (A Copycat Remix) [link]
Future karaoke staple gets a makeover in fine style.
#06 ToToM – Better Than Hip-Hop [link]
Better than me also ToToM. Love it. Clever beat matching going on where ToToM manages to out Kanye Kanye
#07 Nero – Guilt [link]
Probably the most commercial track yet from Nero, but still whets the appetite for the album proper. Bring on the remixes please ….
#08 Goose – Synrise [link]
Albeit sounding a bit like a leftover from the Tron Legacy soundtrack in places, a welcome return for Goose
#09 Distance – Falling [link]
2011 is the year dubstep goes mainstream … judge if you will if that means diluted tracks such as this, but give me this on the radio anyday over Britney. Oh… wait a minute – she’s going dubstep also ?
#10 The Strokes – Under Cover Of Darkness [link]
That guitar riff has been going through my head each day since the first time I heard this track. Blistering return to form
#11 Dunproofin’ – So Long Hip-Hop [link]
Shameless hype of the month.

Ultra dirty electropunk heaven!

Awesome prelude to the new album
#09 ToToM – Better than King Crimson [link]
