Do you need some sunshine? I do.

My mate over at PLANET SHHH gave love to THE GOLDEN FILTER last summer and since then, “Solid Gold” has been running through various playlists of mine. You know already know this tune but here it is again.

MP3: The Golden Filter – Solid Gold

Here’s one maybe you haven’t heard yet however. RUSS CHIMES offer his take on “Solid Gold” and takes it to new robotdisco heights. He strips out most of the original sheen and replaces it with a thicker bassline and a faster tempo.

M4A: The Golden Filter – Solid Gold (Russ Chimes remix)

EMPIRE OF THE SUN appears on these pages a few times, as well as on countless blogs throughout the internets. The Golden Filter add their glimmer and shimmer to yet another track that’s been blogged and remixed nearly to death. The sparkly synth is a bit formulaic, but who cares – it’s so good. Except for the s-u-p-e-r l-o-n-g intro this track is perfect.

MP3: Empire of the Sun – We Are The People (The Golden Filter remix)

One more happy tune for you. Here’s TEPR remixing KAP10KURT. This track’s all over the place in terms of style. There’s a bit of calypso, baltimore club, electro, and of course plenty of sunshine.
