It seems as if the folks over at Disco Dust got the drop on an excellent Russ Chimes remix of Ellie Goulding’s “Starry Eyed.” No, its not an Oakenfold cover. Russ Chimes churned out some great work in 2009, especially the remix of Frankmusik’s “Confusion Girl.” Not wasting any time, he’s started off 2010 with another spaced-out rendition. Ellie isn’t even planning on releasing her album until March 1st, so this one is popping up way in advance. Though at first listen Goulding’s voice breezes through the track with an ingenue-like quality, it also retains some of that otherworldly Fever Ray essence. We’re anxious to hear more from her, but this track will hold us over until March.

Ellie Goulding- “Starry Eyed (Russ Chimes remix)”

Former beatboxer and current electropop artist Frankmusik is known across the pond for his deft fingers on the keyboard and the full-on 80s revival tones in his music. While many of his numbers can be appropriately classified as effusively cheesy, there’s also something genuinely affecting that can be gleaned from his voice. On more than one occasion, I found it reminding me of the endearing Bronski Beat. Australia’s Russ Chimes obviously noticed, because his gleaming, enthralling remix of Frankmusik’s Confusion Girl is downright killer. I’m not sure how these Australians are managing to nail every remix, but it seems as if the continent is producing a lot of talent right now. Even Frankmusik admitted that “This is the best remix I have ever had done by anyone.”
