  • Christophe Willem: Si Mes Larmes Tombent Remix Contest

    christophewillemremixRemixers, DJs, here’s something for you to do for the weekend! French singer, Christophe Willem, is running a remix contest on his website. Yes, it’s in French but basically it says that ‘You may be lucky enough to see your remix chosen to appear on a new digital EP of remixes’. You can get all the instrumentation and vocal tracks by downloading the button that says ‘Télécharger’ and when you’re done upload it to Christophe’s Soundcloud Dropbox, he also mentions not to forget to send an email address, so they can contact the winner.

    If remixing is your thing, this is a great opportunity to open yourself up to French and mainland European markets. He’s also worked with Kylie Minogue and Guy Chambers, who co-wrote many of Robbie William’s. I love Christophe’s quirky strange voice. The remix contest ends on April 22nd.

  • Review: Keith Moss – The War Outside Our Door

    Keith MossDublin based musician Keith Moss is back with a new three track single ‘The War Outside Our Door’. Moss is known for his quirky social commentary and this guitar led indie pop track is no different. Think 80’s American indie a la Psychedelic Furs or Pixies with some airy vocals and you’ll have where this track is. This is a definite grower, the more you listen the better it gets.

    ‘Burn Away Inside’ is more like what I’m actually listening to all the moment. Sparse electronic beats with guitars,keys and vocals. The vocals lie beautifully upon layers of instrumentation. Very different from the previous track but it’s a great indication of what a varied musician Moss is.

    The final track ‘The Memory Store’ almost melds what we have seen from Moss in the previous two tracks. In his mixing laboratory, he has again used electronic magic alongside guitars but what separates this tune is the clearness of Moss’ vocals. This is what early nineties indie in 2012 sounds like. Best track on this single for me and leaves itself open for some awesome remixes.

    This isn’t bad at all, the further into material you go, the better Moss gets. More of that please. (more…)
