How Times Fly

 

How fast our time is I recognized when a few days ago I heard about the release of a special edition of Django Django's self titled debut from 2012. I liked their album because of it's manifold quotations of pop history. Without problems, Django Django switches between influences from surf pop, art rock and even more exotic forms of pop music. This album was one of those a lot of people around me could agree with.

Now they whole album was remixed by Mad Professor, adding his distinctive ambient electronic stylings and a melee of rhythmic drum beats to their sound.

Free From Gravity

 

British electronic pop-rockers Django Django released their latest album a few weeks ago and they added to their psychedelic and krautrock inspired roots more ingredients of pop. Not that it is bad - it is still a search their very own sound. Their feastful synthie-sounds and hypnotic drum-loops sounds like Phoenix or Hot Chip at their best. This remix is one of those I will come back from time to time.

Glowing In The Dark

 

Django Django are a British rock band formed in 2008 and announced their new album with the same title during the next months. I always liked their psychedelic art pop because their songs make me happy and this is not the worst reason for liking any kind of music. Glowing In The Dark is nothing less than one of the best pop songs I heard this year. Dave Maclean aka Dance System re-moulded this song and morphed it into a pro-pulsing slice of techno. I know it is not everybody's taste but this song made me relax a few times after 10-hours shifts at the office.
