Hejven.se

After another busy week we’ve finally reached the weekend. That means bangers!

I’ll bring you a few track that I think we’ll hear much this summer!

Starting out with Dirty Gold and their “California Sunrise”. I fell over this neat track while exploring a new favorite, Hannes Fischer. It a feel-good track with a great vibe to it and what a riff!

Next up we have Junior Boys. “In the Morning” have been remixed by British Hot Chip. It’s a nice and dreamy track with some heavy synth and an audible touch of Hot Chip!

Gorillaz is always up for a nice track and “Melancholy Hill” is no exception. Feed Me aka. DJ Jon Gooch aka Spor did a great little remix.

French band Phoenix won enormous international recognition and respect with their 4th studio album “Wolfgang Amadeus Phoenix”. The first track on this album, Lisztomania has been remixed numerous times but this remix beats them all, I think. Alex Metric did it and it’s just awesome.

Last track is a bit more brutal than the for previous. Noah and the Whale released their third studio album a few months ago. The first amazing single from the album to hit the radio was “L.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N”. Fake Blood remixed the hell out of that track. Take a listen to the original and then the remix. Brutal, huh?

Yay! We are finally back with some action on the blog and this means friday bangers for your ears!

Canadian Tiga released his 2nd album, “Ciao!” in April 2009. From this album we find “What You Need”, a track that got remixed about a month ago by Chicago-based Midnight Conspiracy. They gave the mix a fitting title: “Summer of ’87 Remix”. It’s so 80′s, you might even break a sweat from moving your feed to the rhythm!

Moving 10 years forward in time we hit the classic “Brimful of Asha” by British Cornershop. Back then it was a major hit, remixed by Fatboy Slim among others. HeroesOfTheParty killed the waiting time for Toy Story 3 by doing this great remix.

Another classic hit is the Beastie Boys‘ “Sabotage”. Alex Metric who did the amazing “Stylo” remix had a take on this track and it turned out pretty good. A lot of distortion is on the way!

Youngest son of reggae king Bob Marley, Damian Marley worked together with hip-hopper Nas on this next track. Normally I’m not into hip-hop at all, but this track reminds me a bit more of dancehall and reggae than hip-hop. And the fact that Foamo remixed it was an eyeopener.

Last track this friday is a danish one! Nabiha had a huge radio hit with the track “Deep Sleep” so of course it was only a matter of time before someone did a club remix of this. This someone is British Bitrocka who is know for his remixes of Kylie Minogue and Sugarbabes. As a bonus info Nabiha was already discovered in 2006 and released tracks under the alias Tiger Lily.

Okay, so the Roskilde Festival is getting closer and by now you should have equipped yourself with a waterproof tent, a camping chair, sleeping bag and a whole lotta beer!

Hejven will be reporting almost daily from the festival with pictures, events and other goodies! So keep an eye out for the blog to get you daily Roskilde update.

One of the big names this year is definitely Gorillaz. The cartoon band released their 3rd studio album this year after a five year musical drought. The “Stylo” music video featuring Bruce Willis became a hit at the start of 2010. Alex Metric did this super funky remix.

Australian Pendulum is a drum-and-bass band. They are playing it hard style, but if you can take it you should drop by when they play at Roskilde. I’ve found a Van She Tech remix of “Propane Nightmares” for consideration.

Miike Snow is one of my all time favorites. Recently the released a new single called “Billie Holiday” and LightsoverLA did a decent yet moody remix.

The Floor Is Made Of Lava is a Danish rock band with a great sound. This year the released a new album “Howl At The Moon”. Their last album, “All Juice, No Fruit”, got remixed big time and “IKEA Did A Job On You” is from that remix-album.

LCD Soundsystem is signed with DFA and that alone is a signal of great quality. They produce great dance-punk in that DFA-ish way. This Holy Ghost! remix found it’s way to my hear a long time ago.
