Miike Snow's "Animal," a tune you are likely familiar with at this point, just got seriously flipped by British producer Fake Blood. No bumrushing bassquakes in this one, just some choppy drums and the humming part on loop for your dancing enjoyment.

We've heard Cruel Black Dove's surrealist industrial rock in a variety of guises, thanks to the many remixes they've let us premiere over the past year or so. This new one of "Love Song" from Dean Rosenzweig of IAMX–Chris from the Sneaker Pimps' new band–is one of the best, flipping the original vocal into a central phrase and cutting it with boiling low end and BB gun snares. Basically, it's like downtempo Bangladesh. The band plays New York's Mercury Lounge next week, July 16th, alongside The Morning After Girls and Hopewell; before that they'll make an appearance on East Village Radio this Saturday, the 11th, at 4PM.

When we first heard this song we were like, "Okay, cool, it opens with guitar feedback, always a good look." Then the bass line started–a chunky stumble down the fretboard–and we thought, "Guess these dudes aren't playing around." Finally the drums came in, the verse started, and we kind of coasted until 1:47, when the word "growing" gets belched so wildly we were finally sold. Brooklyn's The Jaguar Club won't be winning any band name awards, but their rusty, Smiths-gleaning garage rock (people have been calling them new wave, but that's frankly inaccurate) has been one of our better random finds. Their new album, recorded by Ken McMahon (The Walkmen, Frightened Rabbit), is due soon, and they play early tonight at the Annex in New York for Club NME. Long live the power trio.
Sounds like: The Walkmen, White Denim, Browns

Our beef with the current electro diaspora is that it's begun to lack good songs. Manchester's Modernaire–recent finalists in Diesel's U:Music Selection 2009–fancy themselves a pop group more than anything else, which explains their deftness with a hook and our subsequent interest in their music. "Faites Vos Jeux," their new single, drops next week in the UK via Roxour Recordings, though you can grab the original and two Alavi refits today through our digital label. Also included is their flip of WhoMadeWho's "Keep Me In My Plane," all slo-mo and wobbly in its drunkfootedness.
Sounds like: La Roux, Metronomy, Empire Of The Sun
Modernaire - Faites Vos Jeux (Alavi Radiox)
Modernaire - Faites Vos Jeux (Alavi Rerox)
WhoMadeWho - Keep Me In My Plane (Modernaire Remix)

We introduced the gleeful mass that is The Spolkestra back in March, so go there to read the backstory on this punk-folk band/collective/commune. What you're really here for is the music. Below is another clip of songs from the project, the swelling orchestrations "Soil" and "Together". These two round out their free Open Arms EP, though you'll have to wait until later this year to hear Everything Is New, their debut album featuring appearances from Jamie Stewart (Xiu Xiu), Owen Pallet (Final Fantasy), Bradford Cox and Jarvis Cocker. As if they need any more members.
Sounds like: The Decemberists, I'm From Barcelona, The Polyphonic Spree

A few weeks ago we introduced you to Magic Wands, the met-via-Internet Nashville duo who strutted their way onto these pages with the glam-pop nugget "Black Magic." Today we're offering a remix of that tune from Spain's Kitsune-signed Crystal Fighters, who turned out a "Township Funk"-indebted bassline house version. A bit less sex and a lot more epilepsy-inducing synth. Take your pick.
Sounds like: DJ Mujava, Santigold, The Kills
