Seeing a reunited Blectum from Blechdom perform last night at Load of Fun took me back to the good old days of the early 00s (nearly 10 years ago!) It was a time when the whole laptop scene was blowing up– all Kid606, Cex, Tigerbeat6, and Oakland, CA.

I recently caught up with Symphony and Roxzi of the Baltimore hip-hop group the Get ‘Em Mamis. GEM will have video premier party April 5th at the 5 Seasons for their single “When You See Us” from the Beyond Hamsterdam album.

Their new single “Cold Summer” will be released June 24 as a part of the new Hamsterdam album by Darkroom Productions and Koch Records.

I present to you remixes of tracks from Syndey Australia exports the Presets (Wiki, pictured right) and the deliciously dirty, now-defunct Death From Above 1979 (Wiki) . They can all be found on the remix disc Re-Sets originally bundled with the latest versions of the Presets’ debut Beams and the bonus disc from DFA1979′s LP You’re a Woman, I’m a Machine.

The Presets will be playing DC’s RnR Hotel on June 7th and I cannot wait. Enjoy the music in anticipation.

The Presets:

The Presets – Down Down Down (Digitalism Remix)

The Presets – Girl and the Sea (Cut Copy Remix)

DFA1979:

DFA1979 – Blood on our Hands (Justice Remix)

DFA1979 – Little Girl (MSTRKRFT Edition)

Fuck Buttons were something else, absolutely engrossing. Too bad Caribou cancelled.
