Tuesday Timekill

We've got a handful of remixes this morning that we've been sitting on for a little bit, but now's as good a time as any to pass them along.

First up is Houston DJ (and SubEx fav) Dave Wrangler whom we hope will soon make his way up from the armpit of Texas to do a few sets in D town. Sure we've heard countless remixes/mashups involving Dead Prez's "Hip Hop," but this mashup (with Clap Your Hands And Say Yeah) is the first we can think of that pushes the tempo and makes us feel a little nervous.

Then comes Hypem legend Don Diablo who for once is having one of his own tunes remixed. This time Louis La Roche, who we guess will be soon be a Hypem staple in his own right, is the man responsible inducing all the hip-shaking. According to Diablo's Twitter feed yesterday he recently secured a visa for a US tour, which we can only hope brings him through our fair burgh.

U-Turn is another DJ that didn't appeared on our radar until he decided to take on Lissy Trullie. While his remix of "Boy Boy" is part 80's new wave/part spy film intro, above all it's still Trullie's attitude that makes the track shine. Afterall, nobody does attitude like an ex-model.

Sure Taken By Tree's adaptation of Animal Collective's "My Girls" into their own "My Boys" version is technically not so much a remix as it is a cover, but really who cares? We are so in love with this track (which appears on the Swede's upcoming "East of Eden" album) right now. The gentle crooning of Victoria Bergsman settles in so perfectly over the subdued rhythms sparse instrumentation that dare we say outdoes the original? (Shock!)
