The Sanfernando Sound, a guest on the blog a month or so ago, has been recently been keeping his hands full with some awesome remix work. The most recent is "The Disappearance of Becky Sharp" by Kites, released just a couple days ago. I'm not familiar with Kites, but they seem to have a great nostalgic feel to them-- a perfect coupling for the talents of The Sanfernando Sound. This is his second remix for Kites, the first being "A Flower Is All That Remains" shown below.
My personal favorite of the new remixes is of Starlings' "Dark Arts" which is, again, a great retro-sounding track with a whirlwind of classic synths that makes my feet want to shuffle in my chair. Check out all the great remixes and be sure to watch out for the official release of the remix to "Dark Arts" on October 10th.
. More recently the Akai 
has also become potential first synth, too, but it's supposedly the same sound engine as the Micron. After demoing the 
and the Micron years ago to buy my first, I settled on the Micron because it had regular size keys, and I had liked the look of it. I used it for a few shows, using only the presets, and never managed to actually learn how to program it well. It now sits in my bedroom and I've hardly touched it, especially since moving on to bigger and better synths.
