Bring the Noise!

This was Mixhells amazing finale at SoulwaXmas Antwerp 2009. Performing Switch´s "A bit patchy" on percussion were: Igor Cavalera (Mixhell), steve (soulwax), steph (soulwax), Bert (Goose) and Matt (Das Pop.)

BTW, Mixhell= Igor Cavalera + Laima Leyton (Igors wife)

2x2x2

2 Great Bands x 2 Great Songs x 2 Great Remixes

A-Side: Gossip - you´ve surely heard "Standing in the way of control" or at least Soulwax´s remix if you´ve been too any Soulwax or 2manydjs concert in the last 2 or 3 years. That´s already old news, and the new single "Heavy Cross" isn´t that new anymore but in my humble opinion its supa-dupa fantastic! just simply executed to perfection, and I will go on further to say that just about any remix you may heart of it (there are quite a few already!!) is good too just because the original is flawless.

"..And the remixes go to..."

Fred Falke - possibly one of the best remixers walking the earth!

BURNS - been making quite some waves lately, and very good ones might I add. this remix is very original and i think displays all the talent this dudes got!

B-Side: Miike Snow - the relatively new and upcoming swedes having made a BIG impact with their debut album that goes by the same name. The first 2 singles "Animal" and "Burial" have launched them onto the mainstage and rightly so with "Animal" getting remixes from the likes of Fake Blood and Crookers, and Dj Mehdi putting his signature on Burial! If you haven´t yet heard them, which hole have been hiding in? Well the 3rd single "Black & Blue" is equally great. Once again, you can´t go wrong remixing five star originals.

"..And the remixes go to..."

Savage Skulls - these fellow swedes made a cool thumping dancefloor version. works for me =)

Tiga - No need for introduction for this man and his unique Turboesque touch on this one can be told from a mile! Those cuts and beeps and squeaks are quite trademark

PS: And now you know why some DJs play back-to-back same songs with different remixes. its pretty neat!

« Tons Of Friends »

The Crookers have been working on their debut album for a while and now it’s official...the release date is set to January 2010 !
« Tons of Friends » will be the name of the album .
After remixing huge names in pop and rock , they have gone to some of their favourite artists to work alongside them , some of the artists featured are Soulwax , RadioClit , Major Lazer , Spank Rock , Kelis , Roisin Murphy , Pitbull , Kardinal Offishall and Tim Burgess . All these names plus The Crookers together in one album will surely turn into an interesting affair .
The first single is a hip-house influenced thing called « Put Your Hands On Me » featuring Kardinal Offishall & Carla-Marie , and the official release is the 5th of October .
