The Glitch Mob's renegade shows on XLR8R TV.

I really regret missing out on The Glitch Mob's DJ Ooah playing in NOLA recently. This new episode of XLR8R TV pushes that regret into overdrive. In this episode, The Glitch Mob takes it up a notch by setting up speakers and a generator renegade-style in the crowded streets of San Francisco for some full-scale guerilla beat warfare on the public.

Late of the Pier - "The Bears are Coming (Emperor Machine Remix)"


Late of the Pier

The original version of this track says much in favor of the argument that Nottingham, U.K.-based outfit Late of the Pier isn't just another dance-rock foursome to be written off in the blink of an eye. In fact, the track is less dance-rock than it is experimental pop that explores the possibilities of both guitars and laptop-generated sound on an equal level, and it's fun too. Andy Meecham (a.k.a. the Emperor Machine) chose to focus on the more electronic side of things for this remix (hardly a surprise), stripping the vocals, upping the snares, slowing the tempo, and letting the whole thing ride to a grinding halt at the end. It's a much more haunting affair than something you'd throw on at an afternoon house party, but nonetheless shows off the band's versatility when it comes to the remixes.
