Nero’s 2021 Return Continues With Dazzling Indietronica Edit of Tame Impala’s “Disciples”
Just one day after returning from a two-year-plus hiatus with a Daft Punk remix, legendary electronic music trio Nero have struck again. Nero’s March 23rd edit of Daft Punk’s “Emotion” marked the group’s first musical release in over two years, following December 2018’s “Lullaby.” They’ve now opted to give Tame Impala‘s “Disciples” a spin, reworking the track into a riveting indietronica jam. Nero dialed up the energy, implementing a four-on-the-floor rhythm and soaring brass elements for a dazzling electronic rendition. They also noted that they used to play an older version of the remix in their shows back in 2016. After two consecutive releases in as many days, fans are now safe to expect more ne...
Beck Says That Paul McCartney’s Dance Moves Inspired Remix of ‘Find My Way’
Imagine walking into a West Hollywood club and seeing Paul McCartney and wife Nancy tearing it up on the dance floor while indie icon Beck watched? Well, it happened, and Beck, more-than-impressed with Macca’s fancy footwork, channeled that evening as inspiration for a remix of McCartney’s “Find My Way (Feat. Beck)” track. “I remember hanging out with Paul and his wife Nancy several years ago and Nancy mentioned that she wanted to go out dancing before calling it a night,” Beck recalls. “We ended up at some club in West Hollywood and I remember noticing that Paul and Nancy were TEARING IT UP – really enjoying themselves more than anyone else on the dance floor.” <!– // Brid Player Singles. var _bp = _bp||[]; _bp.push({ “div”: “Brid_10143537”, R...
Machine Gun Kelly Fires Off Cover of Edwyn Collins’ ‘A Girl Like You’
Hip-hop star turned pop-punk rocker Machine Gun Kelly has gone back to 1994 — he was just 4 years old at the time — to cover “A Girl Like You” in the trailer for the new Amazon series Paradise City. The tune was originally written and performed by Edwyn Collins, the Scottish post-punk and former Orange Juice frontman. It’s another interesting move by MGK, whose punky Tickets To My Downfall, which he created with Blink-182 drummer/impresario Travis Barker, debuted at No. 1 on Billboard last year. The LP also served as the soundtrack to an accompanying short film, Downfalls High. Last June, MGK and Barker covered Rage Against the Machine’s “Killing in the Name” during the protests. <!– // Brid Player Singles. var _bp = _bp||[]; _bp.p...
