We took a little vacation here at Badical Beats, but we're back in full effect on this beautiful Wednesday morning with a couple tracks from the new Nightmares on Wax record through Warp called Thought So.... The UK based DJ/producer has been doing this along time. In fact, this is his 8th release. After giving his new jam a listen, I'll definitely be diggin' through his older stuff. Enjoy.

It's been awhile since we've had a CONTEST going through Badical Beats, and what a better time for some competition than now with the 2008 Olympics games going on in Beijing.
Here is your chance to win a pack of eight collectible Coca-Cola bottles that were designed through a collaboration between eight artists and eight musicians from all over the world for a project called WE8. The WE8 alliance of visual and musical elements gave birth to eight unique themes and designs for Coke bottles that will help jazz up the decor in even the most decked out pad. Check the radness...
As much as MSTRKRFT will always hold a place in my heart, the duo disappointed me with their latest single "Bounce" (though the B-Side "Vuvuvu" is pretty badical) and yet again, they've let me down with their new remix of John Legend's "Green Light" which features Andre 3000. Either way, we got a FREE download of it right here for you, so give it a spin and let us know what you're feeling.
MP3: John Legend - "Green Light Ft. Andre 3000 (MSTRKFT Remix)"
DJ / Producer TECHJIO from Montreal, Canada has a couple new remixes that we simply have to share with our Badical readers. The first remix is for our very own AFGHAN RAIDERS from Las Vegas. TECHJIO did a solid platinum remix of their track "SOLID GOLD", which you can stream and download below. The original can be found on the new FUTURE THINKERS / SOLID GOLD EP, which you can pick up through the AFGHAN RAIDERS MYSPACE PAGE.
The lovable, new wavish indie rockers from down under are releasing their new full length V this Saturday. After giving the album a once over, it's safe to say "V" has our stamp of approval. Yes, we are down with VAN SHE. Revel in the glorious, listenable madness of a couple of our favorite tracks and don't act like you didn't hear it first on Badical Beats.

As many of you probably know, the Parisian electronic duo JUSTICE are in the midst of a massive worldwide DJ/Live tour which covers every neck of the woods from Seoul to Sao Paulo. While their schedules are undeniably packed to the rafters, the guys still have time for a contribution to fashion. Below you will find a free download and stream of JUSTICE's Spring-Summer 09' Mix for designer Dior Homme. The mix was made for the Dior Homme fitting video in which "magnum" and "blue steel" were unleashed in all their glory. Big thanks to missingtoof for the headsup on this number. Enjoy :)
Answers.com's definition of Banger is as follows: n. Chiefly British 1. A sausage 2. A noisy old car 3. A firework that explodes with a sudden loud noise. Description 3 is why we're calling the Does It Offend You, Yeah? remix of The Faint's "The Geeks Were Right" a total Banger! This track starts off as a tease, with just Todd's a cappella track playing, slightly being tricked out with filters. Then someone lights the fuse which burns until the firework explodes, showering down a dance floor inferno. It's glorious. My only gripe, the track is a little too short. Hear it for yourself below! And be sure to grab The Faint's new record Fasciinatiion when hits stores this coming Tuesday!
