Is It Ok To Like Tiesto Now?

Every now and then the shit hits the fan. It hit here at SS about two months ago and needless to say it had quite a scatter effect. Metaphorically speaking, the shit was knee deep.

Through the worst of it now though, so time to post something.

I've always seen Tiesto in a vest, pumped arms raised, summoning his trance minions into a green laser torn cathederal and it always gave me the creeps. I realise that he's the biggest DJ in the world, but he just never pleated my skirt. There seems to be a shift of late, at least in the artists he's working with. We had a a rather cool remix of Tegan & Sara and, amid rumours of a move into electro territory, this sweet remix of Dada Life's 'Lets Get Bleeped Tonight' comes along. It takes a about 2 or 3 mins to get going, but when it does it gets really good. Poppers o'clock, in fact (at about 3.55).

I love Ellie Goulding. We posted her a while back (you'll have to go back and look, won't you...). There's something about her that makes me want to go ooh. Her voice, obviously, which shares a lot in common with Bjork in its childlike quality, laced with with an underlying petulance, but also her 'I'm a bit geeky' image. I mean that in a good way...Check out this if you don't know what I'm talking about. Her new song 'Under The Sheets' is out now on I-tunes, but I'm posting this one, because it's really nice. She's never going to set your house on fire, but she may well help lull the lady of your life into bed and that's bonus points.

Last, but not least, is Riton's remix of Kid Sister 'Right Hand Hi'. It's got class Riton all over it...
