Sound Pellegrino - Teki Latex -Dinosaurs With Guns

Teki Latex -Dinosaurs With Guns - remix competition winners

(tee shirt by swagger.co.jp … shout out!)

Thanks to the hundred-and-twenty-something people who participated in that remix competition, it took us a bit of time to listen to everything while touring Australia and North America but we picked our top 5 remixes and put together a little selection of a few more cool remixes for you to dig out, complete with humble but hopefully helpful feedback courtesy of the Sound Pellegrino founding fathers Orgasmic and I + Dinosaurs with Guns OG producer Noob’s pick.

#1 - TWR72
Wins a spot on the Dinosaurs With Guns remix EP coming before the end of the summer!

For now, listen to a snippet:

Orgasmic’s opinion: really dope techno warehouse hit, we’ve been following Roger 72 for a while, I used to play his DJ DLG remix, he’s an excellent producer and I really like this new, more techy style of his.
Teki Latex’s opinion: I also remember The Walk & Roger 72 from the myspace era. What a drastic change in style! This is awesome abrupt mountain climbing techno, it’s a great tool and an absolute weapon for DJs, this is definitely the remix I’m the most likely to play, great job!

#2 - Art Nouveau
Wins 50€ worth of Institubes/Sound Pellegrino items from the Institubes online store!

Orgasmic’s opinion: Really cool melody, has a bit of a white knight II vibe to it, sounds like a potential summer hit.
Teki Latex’s opinion: Art Nouveau are getting better with every track and they embrace their pop side more and more, while keeping it classy and housy, this is a success! Coincidentally this remix uses a bassline melody/harmony very similar to the DOP remix of Renaissance man’s What is Guru, which proves great minds think alike.

#3 - Gloved Up

Orgasmic’s opinion: sweet baile funk horns mixed with a nice housy vibe, love the melody
Teki Latex’s opinion: awesome bouncy house stomper. I just have a problem with the simpletext voice at the beginning. We needed something with wind instruments so that Roundtable Knights could play it :)

The Gloved Up remix is also Noob’s special pick! Kudos

#4 - Broke One

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=NNRZNEA4

Orgasmic’s opinion: really nice one, well produced and right in the vibe of the stuff we dig at the moment, only problem: too much synth in the breakdown
Teki Latex’s opinion: Super nice and original but gets a bit too heavy and repetitive towards the end

#5 - Clouds

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=1LUZQXRN

Orgasmic’s opinion: Nice groove, solid remix
Teki Latex’s opinion: efficient and tool-esque but a bit too similar to the original

#6 - Neitee and yeutta

Orgasmic’s opinion: cool acid build up, i like it
Teki Latex’s opinion: good stuff but nothing too original

#7 - Wax Motif and Kato

Orgasmic’s opinion: not super original but very well produced and a bit of a big room guilty pleasure for us
Teki Latex’s opinion: caters to the proggy house lover inside of me. Different from what i was expecting from Waxy and Kato but still, it works! and it really stood out from the mass of dull techno remixes

#8 - Poligono

Orgasmic’s opinion: nice but the synths come in too late
Teki Latex’s opinion: Very deep and good. I’ve been following Poligono for a while, they have great potential.

#9 - John Roman

Orgasmic’s opinion: nice but it feels like more of an edit
Teki Latex’s opinion: I like it and i can see why people would wanna play it, it’s a little bit too anonymous to be a winner though.

#10 - Starving Burgers

Orgasmic’s opinion: nice riff but a bit too repetitive
Teki Latex’s opinion: very promising and original italo vibe but i was waiting for a bit more stuff to happen

#11 - La Kustom

Orgasmic’s opinion: nice ideas in the vocal cut ups but something’s missing
Teki Latex’s opinion: quite cool but lacks a bit of soul and stomp

#12 - Kuti 77

Orgasmic’s opinion: original but kind of hesitating between styles, in a way that’s not confident enough.
Teki Latex’s opinion: I just like it because it reminds me of “drop it like it’s hot”, it has potential
