Firework (DJ Mehdi Remix) – Katy Perry

Carte Blanche (Riton and DJ Mehdi) have hit it big with their debut EP Black Billionaires (check out Do! Do! Do! with Kid Sister) and remixes of Uffie + Pharell’s ADD SUV. They turned their attention to Chromeo’s latest single Don’t Turn The Lights On. Check out the banging (almost dub) on SoundCloud below. It’s the Aeroplane remix‘s electro cousin.

In other news, Chromeo’s Business Casual leaked! Very exciting.

Electro is cool again. And so are collaborations apparently. The Krays (Yuksek + Brodinski) released their debut track together We’re Ready When You Are featuring Ebony Bones on vocals. Pick up the single on iTunes. Ps I love the album art.

Riton and Mehdi team up to form the new Carte Blanche. Like Duck Sauce (Armand Van Helden + A-Trak) before them, the 2 superstars combine efforts and work outside of their usual genres. For their debut EP, Black Billionaires, the duo teams up with superstar Kid Sister for the highlight track Do! Do! Do!. The track explores a side of Kid Sis that we haven’t really heard before, the big-voiced dance diva that you usually hear on Ministry Of Sound compilations. Check out the Kid Sis collab along with their EP’s title track Black Billionaires.
