Feetz to Da Beatz is back with ten dance, house, electronica and remix tracks. First up: Italian producer and polymath Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo has released a fresh remix of The Chemical Brothers‘ track, “Dissolve.” Rifo has transformed the shimmering, psychedelic epic into a grinding club-ready track with explosive build ups and orchestral explosions.
Rifo has chosen the moniker Bloody Beetroots which is interesting, and yet no information on the origin of the name. Following Bloody Beetroots are crazy sick tracks from Delphic, Digitalism, DOM’s Remix of Tokyo Police Club, BangaTang’s remix of Foals, Delorean, Tanlines, Raze, and Rainbow Arabia.

Feetz to Da Beatz, Vol. I – Bands That Get You Dancing: Body Language, Yes Giantess and Friends Electric
Feetz to Da Beatz is yet another new playlist mix series that offers our listeners a unique perspective on artists and bands that they might not hear elsewhere. In recent years, dance, soul, R&B, blues and hip hop styles have been increasingly incorporated under the growing umbrella term of ‘indie rock,’ which is just fine with us, but also confusing to many others.
That said, who doesn’t like to move their feetz and dance to da beatz? Regular visitors to IRC know by now that we have an eclectic taste in music; the bottom line being – great music is simply great music no matter what genre it is labeled as, regardless of who makes or where it originates – you know it when you hear it.
Armed with an arsenal that includes vocoders, glockenspiels, graceful vocals and forceful percussions that sync to deliver a kinetic dynamite sound that even grandpa would find hard to sit through, Body Language have risen from the DIY scene to become one of NYC’s most popular new dance bands of 2009-10, branding their own flavor of driving beats, sunny (and at times dark and heavy) synths and soaring, catchy choruses. Body Language is the ass shaking combination of Grant Wheeler and Matt Young graced by the soul styles of Ms. Angelica Bess, and the drum work of Ian Chang, known best as a member of Mickey Factz.
In September, Body of Language released a five-track EP, titled Speaks. The EP features the hopping grooves of the unforgettable song, “Huffy Ten Speed,” which our friends at I Guess I’m Floating called: “..a darker/heavier sound with glitchy synths and forceful beats to boot – not to mention they’ve crafted a chorus as catchy as it is locomotive..”
“Huffy Ten Speed” – Body of Language from Speaks EP (2009)
After cutting their teeth on the local circuit and becoming one of NYC’s most in demand party bands of 2008, Body of Language were recruited to collaborate on the production of Passion Pit‘s widely acclaimed 2009 debut LP, Manners, and Machinedrum‘s 2009 Late Night Operation EP.
The band was also contracted to back up Theophilus London in live shows dressed as ‘The Lovers,’ in addition to playing with Passion Pit, School of Seven Bells, Ninjasonik & Jimmy Edga and We Have Band.
Another excellent song from the Speaks EP, “Work This City,” was featured on the collector’s compilation, Moongadget: The Noctural State, released in 2009 via Ghostly International. The band is also working on remixes of tracks from Yes Giantess, Shuttle, and Alaska. This is one band that you don’t want to miss in 2010.
“Work This City” – Body of Language from Speaks EP (2009)
Since Boston’s Yes Giantess has a tie-in with Body of Language, it is convenient, and fitting, to include a track from this popular electro-dance band that has created quite a stir in the past year or so with their groovy beats, pop-punk attitude, and intoxicating synth-gaze compositions. Make sure to heck out the band’s MySpace link below for remixes and other tracks, plus the 411 on their upcoming performances at SXSW and the Sasquatch Festival.
“You Were Young” – Yes Giantess from 7″ (2009)
“Tuff N Stuff” – Yes Giantess from 7″ (2009)
Up next in this Feetz to Da Beatz mix is Friends Electric, a group comprised of talented young lads from Neath, South Wales. One blogger described them as “a blend of seriously radio-friendly pop-candy and dance-synth/electro.” The band’s electro, keys glazed pop is hard to ignore, and is among our favorite new dance bands. Remarkably, like Yes Giantees, Friends Electric are unsigned. The band is currently working on new material for a 2010 LP, but no release date has been announced.
“Beep Beep Beep” – Friends Electric, single release
“Hours” – Friends Electric, single release
