Cover  300RGB Win A Copy of Lady Gagas Born This Way: The Remix! (Giveaway)

Last weekend, my bloggy BFFL Jon ALi and I went on a road trip to Boston. And in between the scream-singing of a majority of Talk That Talk (and some Kat DeLuna, but we’re not talking about that right now), Jon played me some of his favorite mixes from Mademoiselle Gaga‘s brand new remix album: Born This Way: The Remix.

The entire remix package is actually a pretty schweet deal, full of both throbbing, cardio-friendly House cuts and unconventionally moody re-inventions of the originals.

Along with offerings by some of MuuMuse’s favorite acts (including Hurts and Goldfrapp), instant favorites from the bunch include the haunting, dissonant re-rub of “Marry The Night” by The Weeknd & Illangelo, the brooding Depeche Mode-esque “Bloody Mary” mix by The Horrors and the reliably amazing throbbing mix of “Edge of Glory” by Sultan & Ned Shepard (who’ve worked on countless smashes with MuuMuse favorite Nadia Ali).

But my all-time favorite of the bunch so far is “Electric Chapel,” a track I’d never paid much attention to when listening to Born This Way. As it turns out, the remix was crafted by Two Door Cinema Club, the UK indie-pop trio that I “Introduuced” in the early, early days of MuuMuse back around January of ’09. (I know…positively ancient!)

As Jon explained before hitting play, the “Electric Chapel” mix is basically the ultimate stripper anthem. In fact, I’ve already assembled a tasteful nun habit to perform the mix during my nightly revue at The Cock, so watch out for that.

ANYWAY…

tdcc Two Door Cinema Club: I Can Talk (French Horn Rebellion Remix)

A while back in January, I wrote an introductory post about Two Door Cinema Club, an up-and-comin’ threesome hailing from Ireland.

Well, they’re like…back and stuff. “I Can Talk” is the next single to be released by the boys on only the trendiest of labels, Kitsune Records. It’s loud and exciting, and basically yet another reason this band is on their way to achieving bigger and better things.

Here for your musical consumption comes the French Horn Rebellion remix of their new single. The song will also be released on the upcoming compilation, Kitsune Maison 8, which is sort of like the NOW! That’s What I Call Music be-all, end-all guide for hipsters.

d9a390023d4babb421adc736766259ad Introducing...Two Door Cinema Club!
Here we have Alex, Kev, and Sam, the three young lads that comprise the Two Door Cinema Club.

The boys enjoy banging about and making music together.

“Something Good Can Work,” their debut single in the UK, is the result of such things.

They look a bit like the Jonas Brothers, if the Jonas Brothers were English and a bit of a trendier affair.

They sound a bit like Jason Mraz, if Jason Mraz were English and more of a indie-rockier affair.

Mix it altogether, and you’ve got yourself a pleasant concoction. As you can see above, the boys have already begun to get started on that.

Well done, boys.
