Back In The Habit

It’s been a long time since there’s been a skerrick of activity on this blog. Those out there may’ve thought that the crushing blow of being dissed by Justice (Twice. Two times.) was too much for a boy to handle and I just gave up the ghost and moved to the Maldives. Or Cowra. Well that’s not the case. I don’t have that kind of cash in the first place (even for Cowra). However, I have been absolutely swamped with essays and travel and interviews and a whole load of crap which meant I just never had the time to re-kick-start Hyperbole. It pleases me to say however, we’re back. It’s been too long. Hopefully I haven’t alienated the twelve readers I’ve got and that you’ll be happy to welcome the big H back into your lives. To celebrate the rebirth of this blog I’ve tweaked a few things (new colours!) and have got a load of super special posts (with some exclusive stuff too kids!) for everyone out there. So let’s kick things off with an oversized batch of remixes to satiate your remix-fix (I might TM that shit). And when I say oversized, I mean it. 25 remixes. Holy eff. We’ve got some super cool new stuff in the form of Erol Alkan’s gigantic Interpol remix, Goose’s nigh unrecognisable of Men’s Needs by the Cribs, Miami Horror's take on The Dirty Secrets (ace), and the terrific Riot In Belgium remix of Chromeo’s latest single, Bonafied Lovin'. And you know everyone loves Riot In Belgium.

Interpol - Mammoth (Erol Alkan Rework)
The Cribs - Men's Needs (Goose Remix)
The Dirty Secrets - Five Feet Of Snow (Miami Horror Remix)
Chromeo - Bonafied Loving (Riot In Belgium Mix)
Shiny Toy Guns - Rainy Monday (Paul Emanuel Remix)

There’s some stuff from the party-mad Sydney crew Discopunx’s BLAM!, Hey Champ, SebastiAn, Ratatat and the Rapture. And everybody should have Le Knight Club’s (Guy-Man of Daft Punk) Zoot Woman remix in their iTunes. Sahweet.

Does It Offend You, Yeah? - Doomed Now (BLAM!'s Solta O Frango Mix)
Scenario Rock - Both Gotta Move On (Hey Champ Remix)
Mylo - Paris Four Hundred (SebastiAn Remix)
Supersystem - Miracle (The Rapture's Hush Hush Remix)
Zoot Woman - Taken It All (Le Knight Club Remix)
Feist - Sea Lion Woman (Chromeo Remix)
Shout Out Louds - The Comeback (Ratatat Remix)

There's also these remixes which don't quite hit the mark but are indeed essential listening for fans. Junior Boys weave a sparse electro web for Colin Meloy here on their Perfect Crime remix, and while it doesn't do terribly much for its seven minutes, I loves me the JBs, so I dig it. And then there's Peter Bjorn & John's Shins remix, which isn't life-changing but definitely worth a listen.

The Decemberists - The Perfect Crime (Junior Boys Remix)
The Shins - Australia (Peter Bjorn & John Remix)
Tokyo Police Club - Be Good (RAC Mix)

For some extra Australian love here's Harris Robotis vs Van She, Kissy's take on Operator Please, Midnight Juggernauts polishing the turd that was Stardust Five (I've been on the hunt for this for E.V.A.H.), and Sneaky Sound System being redone by Riot In Belgium (again!). Note for nerds, the RIB mix also features the Van She Tech team on production duties.

Van She - Mission (Harris Robotis Cut Fuck Remix)
Operator Please - Just A Song About Ping Pong (Kissy Sellout's White Stallion Remix)
Stardust Five - Pussy Got Your Tongue (Midnight Juggernauts Remix)
Sneaky Sound System - I Love It (Riot In Belgium Forest Rave Mix)

And for good measure here's some sweetness from the unstoppable Russ Chimes action (this dude never stops bringing the heat!), a bit of Shinichi Osawa (it would be remiss to do a remix post without him), Digitalism, Braxe n' Falke, SMD and Boys Fucking Noize.

Russ Chimes - She's Got The Heat (Cryptonites Remix)
Christopher & Raphael Just - Popper (Shinichi Osawa Distortion)
Tiga - Far From Home (Digitalism Remix)
Jamiroqui - Runaway (Alan Braxe and Fred Falke Dub)
Keith - Mona Lisa's Child (Simian Mobile Disco Remix)
Justice - Phantom Pt. II (Boys Noize Remix)

And if you really did need an extra bonus check this Paper Planes remix ft. Bun B et Rich Boy. Kids are going apeshit for it.

M.I.A. - Paper Planes (Remix)

Damn, that's huge. Hope you all survived the drought here. There's a dick load of good stuff to come next. Yeah!

UPDATE: Due to the overwhelming response to this post and the MP3's contained herein, I'm doing a little link-updating on this batch of remixes, so they'll be down for the day until I get some new links for them. Bear with me. They'll be back soon for those who missed them.

SUPER UPDATE: Time's up boys and girls.
