Electro remixes of indie/pop music?

mikeweeney — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 13:54:54 -0800

Can you recommend good electro remixes of indie / pop music? One of my favorite examples is the Twelve's remix of the Black Kid's I'm Not Gonna Teach your Boyfriend.

Also, I really like this version of Katy Perry's I Kissed a Girl.

Any other good remixes you've heard, or artists that regularly do this kind of thing?

French indie pop/electro?

What's some good, danceable French indie pop/electro? I was recently at a party in NYC that was mostly 20-something French hipster kids. The DJ, also French, was playing a lot of great music I'd never heard before. I'm not positive it was all French, but much of it was, and some people mentioned it was the sort of stuff they regularly danced to in Paris. It was less techno/house-ish (no Daft Punk), and more along the lines of, say, Phoenix, Cut Copy, or the Knife's "Heartbeats" -- melodic, a bit spacey, medium tempo, maybe some disco influences. Some of the songs were even a bit lounge-y.

Does anyone have any suggestions for bands to check out that might fit the above description? Or does anyone in Paris know what the "cool kids" are listening to, French or not, that might not have made its way over to the States yet?

Ideas for a cool Saturday night in Paris!

Where do the cool kids go in Paris? We are going to be in Paris on Saturday for a weekend break and would love to take the opportunity to experience Parisian nightlife (be it bars, clubs whathaveyou). We are particularly looking for somewhere that does great electro/indie/house music and where all the scensters go for late night Parisian fun rather than anywhere touristy. We are staying in Saint Germain so somewhere nearby would be great but would definitely go outside this if it was worth it. We have been told about
La Batofar and this it is an option but as many other ideas as possible would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

Help me find more good indie-electro dance music!

Help me find more good indie-electro dance music! While this thread addressed the pop-type electro scene, I'm looking for something with more of an edge.

To give you an idea of what I'm looking for - I dig the hell out of Simian Mobile Disco (and can't wait for them to release an LP), older Adult., Codec & Flexor, Soulwax (more specifically some of the tracks off "Nite Versions"), some of the stuff I've heard on the International Deejay Gigolos label (Savas Pascalidis and Miss Kittin), the Kitsune and Colette comps, etc, but I'm really not sure where to look for more (since I'm not in one of the major markets for it, there's not a whole lot of exposure to it here).

Clarifications - not really so much "electroclash" though, so Fischerspooner and Felix Da Housecat don't count. Also, not so much either post-punk indie dance like The Rapture or DFA staples (a little too organic for this exercise). Points for artists, specific tracks, labels, compilations, boards, etc.
