To the best of my knowledge, the man behind Cosmonaut Grechko is named Victor Klyuchnikov, and he is only 19-years-old. He is thus part of a generation that has grown up surrounded by the digital tools that allow for incredible original and remixed p...

How much energy do you have? Don't hit play if it isn't a good amount. This track isn't for those feeling folksy. It isn't for those of you mellowed out by winter's approach. And it certainly isn't for your grandmother. Per The Music Ninja, this trac...

It's been more than a year since Phoenix took the indie rock scene by storm, and more than a year since Alex Metric remixed one of their flagship songs, "Lisztomania." And yet, here we are at Indie Shuffle, pulling it from oblivion and giving back to...

Flashback to this past spring, Metric released their first LP in four years and the remixes overflowed. This new remix, released in support of the Metric's new acoustic EP, "Plug In, Plug Out", also holds up well against the torrent of those precedin...

My biggest nit pick about the album, and Metric in general, actually, is that they never really take full advantage of Emily Haines' voice. As seen (or rather, heard) in her solo work, or with Broken Social Scene, she has an incredible voice, and you...

Last up is the new Alex Metric remix of Gorillaz' "Stylo". I didn't really like the original but leave it to Alex Metric. He's really become one of my favorite producers over the course of the last year. He's just so consistent and I have a feeling h...

Next up is the absolutely ballin MSTRKRFT remix of Metric's Monster Hospital from a couple of years ago. With MSTRKRFT's patented pounding synths backing up Emily Hanes's earnest melodies this song is a classic. Hanes's voice swirls, twisting around ...
