Today’s Untz: Flaws ( Russ Chimes Remix) / Bastille
It’s Friday so it’s time for a little energetic jolt. Cue London based Russ Chimes who’s known for fusing driving beats with irresistible grooves and heartbreaking melodies.
Russ has already racked up an arsenal of huge remixes for established artists like Mark Ronson, Booka Shade, Kelis and Marina & The Diamonds, including an enormous remix for Ellie Goulding and now…Bastille. Enjoy. #untz/tom
Santa Con is an annual rite of passage for the revelers of all things fun in San Francisco (and around the world), and I am excited to rock my $14.99 Walgreens Santa suit in all of its glory, have some champagne in my orange juice on Saturday morning (OK orange juice in my champagne) and go dance my face off with a thousand or so of my closest friends throughout the streets and bars of this fine city, immersed in a sea of red and white. It is hard not to be jolly in a Santa suit… this holiday brings out the best in everyone.
Today’s Emo: Devil’s Work / Miike Snow
‘my hands, I feel like I’ve been here before’
Miike Snow has given us all an early Christmas gift for being good boys and girls… a new song from their upcoming album, and it is exactly what I wanted this year. I didn’t realize just how much I missed their signature squiggly synth until I got a fresh taste of it. This is a song that just keeps giving. #emo
Today’s Untz: Starry Eyed / Ellie Goulding (Russ Chimes remix)
‘next thing we’re touching’
A throw back: I hearted this song on Hypem back on November 20th, 2010, but I am on a serious Ellie Goulding kick, and this remix is worth a revisit. I am still kicking myself for hearing MGMT at Outside Lands (despite numerous warnings that their live performances leave much to be desired) instead of seeing the golden haired English songbird tear up Sutro Stage. You live and you learn. #untz
