[DARK INDIETRONICA] Shine 2009- Older (Null Remix)

November 5, 2013 Kavi

Anyone who knows me, knows I’m weak for dark pop remixes of lofty, joy pop. I revel in the way they shiv the soft spots of the merry melodies, covering them in the blood of the song’s dark undercurrent; and every good song has one, even, ostensibly happy songs–hell, definitely happy songs. I’ve said many […]

[SYNTHPOP] FKA Twigs- Water Me (M.A.U. Remix)

October 27, 2013 Kavi

Sometimes I’m not at a loss for words, so as much as having no way to formulate them. Some songs hit me and blow my insides into a red mist, a bomb dissolving all solid ground, all paradigms that make me, well, me vanished. A few notes, and the worlds you’ve diligently constructed are gone: […]

[PREMIERE] Robert DeLong- Global Concepts (Story of The Running Wolf Remix)

August 9, 2013 Kavi

Image taken from the Story of The Running Wolf “Stratospheric” video release party. Story of the Running Wolf takes Robert Delong’s exhortation: “Did I leave my life to chance? Or did I make you fucking dance?” like an inviolable maxim, enforced by way of glowstick billy clubs and a Falcor that hovers through the crowd […]
