Seven Hours Well Spent

At 6am this morning I realised I had just spent a good seven hours listening to electro music. I found some truly sick tracks including the new DVNO single EP remixes by Justice. The remix by Surkin is particularly good, and only happened because his label Institubes made an exception to their 'no remixes' rule, which is in place until he finishes his own full-length album, Next Of Kin EP.
And the Chewy Chocolate Cookies are suddenly appearing everywhere. I found some of their remixes nearly a year ago and last night realised they've gained a lot of popularity since releasing their tracks for free download on RCRDLBL. More of a dance/club sound, as their name suggests they tend to be a lot of fun and not too heavy, but they're nevertheless not afraid of putting their mark on the hits by the big boys, and have remixed Justice, Simian Mobile Disco, DJ Mehdi and Digitalism, among others. Check out their website for free downloads.

Well at least insomnia comes in useful sometimes.
