Australian musician/producer Kreap gives DJ Shadow’s “Scale It Back” a bit of transformation with his ‘Garage Mix‘ which really is channelling some serious Todd Edwards house vibes. If this had been submitted to the remix competition, this surely would have been up there with the eventual winners. (via Too Many Sebastians)
Now that the first week of Coachella 2012 has finally wrapped up, you can start expect even more videos to surface of live performances that many may have missed to start trickling online. For this post we bring you the visuals of SBTRKT taking the Coachella stage and playing "Wildfire," the globally successful collaboration with Little Dragon's Yukimi Nagano. The song was definitely a fan favorite during the set, and as it was accompanied with a live instrumentation. Check out the seven-minute long footage and enjoy. (via Hypetrak)
Yukimi Nagano’s voice is truly one of a kind. I hear all sorts of good female vocals everyday, but nothing compares to the mystique-like vocals of Yukimi. Vindata makes good use of it and Little Dragon's "Little Man" and remixes it with a fuller, electro taste compared to the original.
B.Lewis dials Shadow and Yukimi’s “Scale It Back” into the stratosphere. Starting the mix with just an a capella Yukimi vocal (listen to Yukimi just shred that melody), the track then builds into an uplifting power jam, complete with spacey electronics and scaled up chords.(via B3SCI)
I did a little about this guy named Oliver Rado who just recently did a remix of Little Dragon's "Twice" but I can't find much on him. What a mystery. Anyway, excellent work on Swedish synth-pop original! The German producer giving some love to the track, dropping almost 8 minutes worth of laid back mid-tempo beats over the original's already steady vibe. Awesome!
DJ Shadow's "Scale It Back" always a favorite on #ANT. His good mix of chilled-out indie music infused with hip-hop beats has come a long way for him. Now we have Milo Firewater doing a version like no other, a remix of DJ Shadow's collaboration with Yukimi Nagano from Little Dragon.

And a round of applause for a first Robotaki post. Reading more on this guy lead me to ready made remixes from the likes of Shinichi Osawa, Housse De Racket, Chilly Gonzales and a few beats for those Korean hotties they call Girls' Generation, all found in his Soundcloud. Here's more on Robotaki...
"Hey! My name's Preston and I’m 20 years old. As "Robotaki," I produce music between the other happenings of my life, something I've been doing for about 4-5 years so far. I'm now in first year university at McGill University at Montreal, Quebec. Analog sounds and raw waveforms have a warm place in my heart.I plan to maintain music as an active part of my life, despite the seemingly differing career choices I'm heading towards at the moment. As far as the production hardware and software goes, I run FL Studio 9 on an average computer bought in 2008 with an array of VSTs.The only "hardware" I use is literally the keyboard, mouse, a decent pair of AKG headphones, and the screen, and maybe the nearby desk lamp since that gives me a bit of light haha. Safe to say, I'm dying to get my hands on my first controller soon. For remix and production inquiriesabraham@bigdog.fm"
His latest work is from a recent from DJ Shadow who is apparently hosting a remix competition for his "Scale It Back" song featuring the awesome vocals of Little Dragon lead, Yukimi Nagano. In my opinion, after hearing Robotaki's entry, competition over. We have a winner!
Obviously a perfect track to begin with, Robotaki simply enhances the elements of the song and effectively adding his mark to it but not too much to overdose. This kid has... Is potential. Happy to be able to post about him.
