SBTRKT

 

I have less than a month left in London before a long awaited return to New York...three years to be exact.  As is often the case with traveling and living abroad, music will inevitably provide memories.  Songs, albums, sounds just 'bring you back'.  

For me, the James Blake album will forever remind me of London, just like Tom Vek will always transport me back to Berlin.  While I have only not just tracked down the complete SBTRKT album, I have a feeling this will be on repeat as I pack up my life here across the pond and prepare to leap back into the wild and crazy, wonderfully magical existence that is New York.  

Add these tracks to your memory bank...

SBTRKT - Hold On

SBTRKT - Wildfire

SBTRKT - Trials of the Past

SBTRKT - Right Thing to Do

SBTRKT - Never Never

SBTRKT - I Want You

Speaking of memories...

James Blake - Wilhelms Scream

Tom Vek - On the Road

Classixx

Every single thing these dudes touch turns to gold. Classixx have remixed the likes of The Ting Tings, Phoenix, Major Lazer and Fischerspooner, among others, and every single release is a sure fire hit cut out either for the dance floor or that energized commute to and from work in head-phoned solitude. Their remix of Lisztomania is in my top 5 from 2009 already, and I wouldn't be surprised if another track they remix or produce in the next few months adds its way into my short list as well.

For those of you who don't know Classixx, now you do...

Classixx - I'll Get You (ft. Jeppe)

Pheonix - Lizstomania (Classix Remix)

Major Lazer - Cash Flow (Classixx Glass Bottom Dub Mix)

Holy Ghost! - I Will Come Back (Classixx Acapulco Nights Version)
