Grandtheft & Keys N Krates - Give Me The Night (Grandtheft Video Edit) from grandtheft on Vimeo.

Over year ago, we made this disco joint (kind of a remix of George Benson's "Give Me The Night") with our good friend Grandtheft. We worked with him on a bunch of joints (some which will never see the light of day), and it was such an amazing experience. Dude is so talented and taught us so much about production, probably without even knowing it. Totally look forward to working with this cat again. Recently he did up an fun vid for this joint so I had to post it. For all things Grandtheft check out his twitter ...

A lot of people probably don't know that this dude is a big part of the Pretty Lights sound. He recently released his own album on Pretty Lights Music ... He played the same stage we did at Electric Forest,, and when I heard him play this tune in the video I was zoning out.

So I really just took in Broken Bells, almost a year late. Slide me my late pass and call me Sally. They're amazing, bla bla.. I can't believe I'm just getting into this.

Anyways, this and "Mail and Misery" will be blaring on our roadtrip to Chicago tomorrow to play our New Years gig!

IRIS: SPRING/SUMMER COLLECTION

2010-06-03T18:50:00.001-07:00

The good people at IRIS are back with their S/S 2010 line, including a series of cut & sew pocket tees, button ups, and graphic tees. "IRIS ON THE GO," the theme for the collection, all stems from the brands application of their product on everyday folks doing what most city folks do; commute.

Featuring illustrations by Deadly Del Mundo (who did our Live Re-Mixing 101 artwork), an array of textiles including Sea Cotton Chambray, Gingham, Denim, Herringbone, and Linen, this has to be the most all around presentation of the brand yet. The pocket tees for example, are custom done in limited numbers and tend to sell out quickly. Get yours soon as this line has been moving quickly.

IRIS is available online at their new home;www.iristoronto.com, which includes their online store.

Congrats to the boys over at 1loveTo.com and RedBull for their great Bday party they hosted a few weeks back. Its seems our MGMT -Electric feel (KeysNKrates x Grandtheft Rmx) was the soundtrack to their night. NICE.

MGMT RE-MIX

2010-04-28T13:52:00.000-07:00

The story behind this whole remix is kinda cool. We basically came up with the basis of it while jamming in the rehearsal room... then we added Tune's Mother's voice to it and it was like wooaaah and we started performing it at all our shows. We then decided to produce it up in the studio to make it big and D.J. playable,, so we enlisted the help of the very talented producer/dj/smokedmeateating Grandtheft ... www.myspace.com/grandtheezy .... Definitely an ill collabo. Look out for more collabos between KnK and GT coming in the near future....
