The steady, tinny drumbeat from Steve Mason's latest single 'Lost and Found', along with the atmospheric vocals, always hinted its remix potential and now Active Child has stepped up and produced it. The remix has been described as 'sci-fi tinged' and the layers of synths and keyboards do sound like they belong in an indie sci-fi flick. Despite the relentless pace througout most of the track Active Child has still managed to produce a very chilled out remix and you can find it here.

New Young Pony Club are back with their first new material since late 2007 and......it's good. The new single, 'Chaos' is a lot more radio friendly than their previous material, which is causing some divide amongst the fans of the band, but one single can't truly represent the sound of a whole album so their anxiety is perhaps a little premature.
The change doesn't seem to have done them any harm though. From the unwavering bassline through to the funky drumming and the understated vocals, 'Chaos' is a track that sucks you in and refuses to let go until the end. To be honest I don't know what some fans are complaining about! As well as exciting fans with this new single they've also let a remix by Rory Phillips become available for free download here.
Eliot Pauline Styler-Sumner, aka Coco, otherwise known as I Blame Coco, is (as the music connoisseur's amongst you may already have spotted) the daughter of Sting, so it's fair to say that she has quite a name to live up to. Although this link may have made the route in to music slightly easier for her, recording her album in Sweden with producer Klas Ahlund also had its benefits, especially when it comes to latest single, 'Caesar', on which the Swedish artist Robyn (who also works with Ahlund) lends her vocals. The fact that Robyn specifically requested to add another vocal part to the chorus is glowing tribute indeed to the talent of the 19 year old Coco.
Having seemingly inherited her father's habit of tending to sing in a faux reggae style accent, Coco has been touted as the Amy Winehouse or Duffy of her chosen genre. The track itself is driven along by a distorted, scuzzy bass line with Robyn's smoother vocals providing a good contrast to Coco's deeper tones on the chorus. The energy of the track lends itself perfectly to club tracks so it's no surprise that several remixes have already surfaced and two of these can be yours for free by clicking on the links below.
After their interview with us in October teenagersintokyo have been off putting the finishing touches to their debut album, due out later this year, and are back with the latest offering from it, 'Peter Pan'. It's a pretty solid track, with an atmospheric guitar line laid over a thumping drum beat and atmospheric vocals thrown in to the mix with good effect.
The band are obviously gaining a name for themselves with current critical darlings The Horrors (who were awarded the best album of 2009 title by NME, though how seriously anyone can take a list from NME is debatable) offering a remix of the track. You can download 'Peter Pan' remixed by The Horrors here.
