Arsenal - Lotuk (Inflagranti Remix)

ARSENAL release their album’s title track LOTUK. Singer-songwriter Shawn Smith (him of Seattle veterans Brad and Satchel) guests on this throughout shimmering tune, with a pulsating Kim Deal-like bass line, trancelike backing vocals and a deliciously naïve synthesizer loop that will keep you humming all day long.

It comes action packed with a trio of quality remixes: Sasha Crnobrnja of fellow NYC hipsters IN FLAGRANTI speeds up the vocal over heavy Moroderesque arpeggios, a cluster of beats from a battered Roland and lots of cowbell action. Take notice!

Admiral Freebee - My Hippie Ain't Hip (Harvey Remix)

This is the second release from Playout! Music that I've put up here on OMFG. The Harvey remix is the main reason I like this release. The original track is very good, don't get me wrong. But that almost minimal progressive sound that Harvey injects into his remix is the main reason I've been digging on Playout! The original track from Admiral Freebee is a blues infused rock anthem and there are lots of other genres heard throughout the new album "The Honey and The Knife".  The artwok is by Ed Templeton of Toy Machine Skateboard Co.
