Hammocks and Honey - Toolz (Faux Pas Remix) Spellbinder is the first release from Aussie electronic duo Prudence Rees-Lee and Alex Nosek - Hammocks and Honey. Prudence is a classically trained cellist turned synth obsessive, while Alex is a member of experimental electronic outfit ii. Baroque chord progressions collide with hypnotic, pulsating beats, tropical percussion and the purest of pop sensibilities. This lush, dreamy remix is courtesy of SIART fave Faux Pas.
Aussie Tim Shiel is Faux Pas. The Melbourne native is the creator of excellent, dreamy electro pop. I have blogged a few of his tunes this year - I really like his style and sound. He has compiled a most delicious mixtape for your audio pleasure. It includes some current stuff and some vintage classics from the '80s - Zoolook! Kraftwerk! - so you know it is all good. The inspiration for the mix stems from his current obsession with those sweet '80s remixes by Shep Pettibone and Arthur Baker and Razormaid. He even included a song I posted a couple of weeks ago - Electronic'sGetting Away With It. Enjoy!

I have always loved to share my favorite music, going way back to my mix tape days of the early '80s. This blog is an extension of that, a sort of an ongoing mix tape.
