Even though he's only done four or five remixes (that I can find anyway), Simon Bookish is making quite a name for himself as a remixer. His own music is fine good stuff (20 Jazz Funk Greats has a new track from his upcoming Unfair/Funfair that you should check out, but it's his remixes that have got me goin'.
I loved his "Karaoke Mix" of Franz Ferdinand's "Michael," and last year's remix of Grizzly Bear's "Eavesdropping" had everyone taking note. Well last year he also remixed one of my new favorite bands, The Organ. Just happens to be my favorite track too, "Memorize the City." Gone are the Smithesque guitar jangles, replace with a glitchiness we've come to expect from Bookish. His robotic monotone fits well next to singer Katie Sketch's girlish Morrissey drone, too.
