In its original form, "Helicopter" is lush with Deerhunter's usual dreary, dreaminess. Call upon Diplo to rerub it with some electro-reggae clicks and the MPC mastery of Lunice, and you have a remix that is vibrant in spite of being very stripped down. When it starts to get a little colder outside, aren't dance music masters more than welcome to make amendments to any of our darker favorite songs? We think so.

You'd think at the outset of their third decade Stereolab would be easier to pin, but "Sun Demon" finds the group still charmingly and resolutely singular. Like Os Mutantes with a factory tan, this track sounds as much a precursor for future sound as it does a culmination of older influences: the sighing strains of Darkstar and Mount Kimbie's ailing technology fizzing away beneath a coquettish, indie-pop exterior.

On the eve of The Bloody Beetroots’ first extended North American tour as The Bloody Beetroots DeathCrew 77, Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo has released his remix of The Chemical Brothers’ “Dissolve” (feel free to post and share). Bob has turned The Chemical Brothers’ shimmering, psychedelic epic into a grinding club-ready track with explosive buildups and orchestral explosions. For the first time, Italian producer and polymath Sir Bob will be joined for the extended tour by a full band: The Bloody Beetroots DeathCrew 77. Stepping out from behind the mixers, Rifo now plays guitar, bass, and synths and is joined on stage by Tommy Tea on controllers and the Beetroots’ newest member Edward Grinch on drums.
