Walter Sobcek
Parisian duo Walter Sobcek have just completed their album after spending some time living in sunny Los Angeles.
Prom Queen (Dana Plato) is one of the songs and the new video features the raunchy bus scene from Risky Business!
If you’re at work and checking this out then you might want to consider who sits behind your desk -- or just minimise it.
I’m going to follow up with these guys -- I love this track and I want some MP3s now!
Long live French electronica.
Remixation For The Nation
Gotta love a good remix and it’s probably evident by now that we like them a lot on TMB so here’s a post packed full of delicious remixes of recent.
La Roux – I’m Not Your Toy (Jack Beats Remix) – Buy from iTunes (UK)
I hate La Roux but I love Jack Beats so when this first came to my knowledge, I held back from posting it but after a while I couldn’t resist. it’s too good.
Jack Beats has made his distinctive wobble-bass productions recognisable from a mile off and in this current maelstrom of dubstep and electro – that’s something very very important.

9 minutes of Friendly Fires goodness remixed in a way that I never expected. It’s tough to even pin a genre to this remix. It’s a journey in itself which must have taken Will Skol aka Spiral Into The Storm ages create.

Blow Your Face Off Much?! (Updated)
You might remember our introductory post on Dubstep producer George Lenton which featured an absurd fictional history into the young man. It was all made up because so far, he’s kept his identity to himself.
Some people think his name is an anagram to a clue about his real identity but we just know ONE thing. He makes incredibly filthy tunes that should be locked up behind bars in an underground bunker guarded by Optimus Prime and his mates.

Temper Temper
It’s taken a while but finally the boys from Melbourne are seeing a great reception to a great debut album.
The Temper Trap released Conditions back in August and have since toured ridiculously everywhere with almost no breaks whatsoever. Jim Abbiss worked with the guys on the album and his producing CV boasts the debut albums of Adele, Editors and the Arctic Monkeys!
I first heard them via the incredible remix of Science of Fear by Hervé.
I think describing their music as alternative pop is pretty accurate and Love Lost is the opening track and in my opinion, one of the best. I’ve listened to too many times but I’m not sick of it yet!

Recorded from parties in NY over the summer these guys have amassed some really special sounds and it only makes me sad that I wasn’t actually there to hear it direct!

Little Lion Man
This is new single from Mumford & Sons. Little Lion Man is the first single from their promising upcoming debut Sigh No More.
It’s the perfect pop-folk track for the Autumn. They’ve been doing the rounds for a couple of years now so I don’t really consider this to be their actual debut but it’s their first catapult onto mainstream radio and TV.

Job well done.
