You’re going to be having a love affair with the dirty dancefloor after, “Lets Go to War – Life We Live (Cosmo Remix)”, crosses your path. A tricked out remix done for Lets Go to War, by recent Brooklyn transplant, Cosmo, of The Junkies. They certainly love the bright lights, the glamour, the camera – who doesn’t?! They don’t give a fuck, nor do we! Read on for Cosmo’s ‘official Bio’, and grab his remix for your next bang-out session.

“Brooklyn resident Cosmo has been kickin’ it in electronic dance music and indie rock scenes since the early 90’s. He started out DJing around clubs in Miami and later became a member of the rock band “Muse”, (Lava/Atlantic records). He toured the U.S. and Canada with Beck, Luscious Jackson, Lemonheads, Dinosaur Jr, Collective Soul, Live, Silverchair, and 311. In 1999, Cosmo left Muse to join Astralwerks recording artists, Metrodub (Miami, Florida).

Getting back to his Miami DJ roots, he toured with Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, and Fat Boy Slim, and was a resident at Liquid, Bar Room, Chili Pepper, and Level. From 1998 and on, he has produced a handful of dance records, some released internationally, on various labels such as Universal, Filtered, and Neo Records.

From this point in his career, Cosmo was able to work on his skills as a music producer and engineer. He was a producer for various indie rock bands and worked with Barry Gibb (Bee Gees) on several projects including the 2005 Barbara Streisand album.

Recently Cosmo moved to Brooklyn with his newly formed glam/electro group, The Junkies. Their EP will be released next month on Pistol records. Cosmo produces all the songs for the band, as well as songs and remixes individually.”

We love Santi, you go girl!
Read the full story at Rollingstone.com Who on her first day as the only black kid in a Philadelphia private school, Santi White hid in a corner at recess. “I didn’t know what to do,” she recalls. But before long, the charismatic daughter of a lawyer had conquered the school’s social scene. “I was part of this clique, the Fearsome Fivesome,” says White, who now mixes electronic beats with punk guitars and New Wave synths under the name Santogold. “We were mean to everyone. The school called my parents, and my mom said, “I don’t give a fuck! She’s the only black girl — I’m glad she fits in”.

THE BIG LEAGUES Björk invited her on tour; Mark Ronson recruited her to co-write a song for Lily Allen; Spank Rock regularly pulls her onstage; and M.I.A.’s producers Diplo and Switch volunteered to work on her wildly eclectic debut. “Santi has a wonderfully bizarre approach to melody and lyrics and has no care for conforming to mainstream guidelines,” says Ronson. “I envy that.”

Despite playing venues as large as Madison Square Garden when she opened for Björk, White is still getting comfortable onstage. “I’m not a ham,” she says. But she doesn’t want her audience to be limited to hipsters either. “I want a lot of people to hear my music,” she says. “Who doesn’t like a pop song?”

Check out the feature lovestar did with Santi back in May, “Santogold Delivers the Explosion“, for Trash Menagerie!

OMGogglez!!!1! I was just sent this amazing Jaimie Fanatic re-edit of Mika’s Big Girl (You Are Beautiful) and I’ve been listening to it on perma-loop for like an hour now.

If you don’t know Jaimie’s previous work he’s been releasing house bangers out of his hometown of Rotterdam since ‘02 mostly on his own imprint, Groove Fanatics, but also on numerous other labels such as Tommie Sunshine’s xjR EU Records and Chicago electro house label Funktion Recordings. Lately he’s fallen into the edity, fidgity sounds and has allied himself with the likes of Mr. AvH and Crookers.

This tune is particularly edity, as he tore into the good time disco sound of the fast rising Mika. He really went all out with this reedit and it really blew me away how complicated the outcome is. I’m not one to play songs for much more than 3 minutes tops but I might have to let this one play out. This one will be out on Groove Fanatics in early December so be sure to go out and buy it.
