I’ve been combating my recent stress (and distress) with some fantastic new tracks. Thought I’d share a sampling. The first are a pair from an upbeat descendant of Dexy’s Midnight Runners. They are called the Rumble Strips and hail from the UK, and even made a bit of a remix of Amy Winehouse’s “Back to Black,” injecting some of their characteristic energy and throwback sound as a bubbling influence just underneath the surface.

The last track is an electro-dance-fever inducing remix by Tepr of “A Cause Des Garçons,” a track from French superstar-to-be Yelle.
