The gentleman in Magistrates release their latest video for their second single “When We Are Apart”. Prepare yourself for some VHS quality lols that accompanies this playful synth pop tune.
Magistrates emerge from their relevant slumber with a new tune entitled “BTPA”. It is a slowburner disco RnB tinged track. The Magistrates gentlemen asked me for a remix of the single and along with my friend Matt and brother Darrell we came up with this re-visioning of BTPA. All real instruments, all funk and feel.
GRUM takes on Magistrates’ “Gold Lover” – stripping it of its polished pop down to a dark slow burner of a house song. RIP Magistrates.

After hearing the Magistrates 20 Min Mixtape – a what I would call a “scanning through the radio/channel surfing” mix/mashup, I wanted to hear more. I asked the Magistrates boys if they would craft another similar mix that would give us all another peak into their pop music minds and they graciously agreed. Get ready for 20 mins of schizophrenic pop madness. They mix Can’s “Vitamin C” into Radiohead’s “Idioteque” into Yellow Magic Orchestra’s “Rydeen” – three of my favorite tunes of all time so I cannot argue with the insanity and awesomness that is this mix. Try to guess all the tunes. Also checkout how they let Damon Albarn win in ping pong.

Asian Dan Presents Magistrates 20 Min Mixtape Part II
Asian Dan Interview: MAGISTRATES
1. Who is Magistrates? How would you describe your sound?
We are a collective of scientists, mathmeticians, chefs and philanthropists. The music we play alters the chemicals in your brain and makes your feet and hips groove uncontrollably.
2. What was your first musical memory?
Michael Jackson and The Beatles dominate most of our childhood. I [Galbally] have a weird memory of having Sunday Roast when I was about 4 or 5 and my Dad was playing Chris De Burgh, I think it was the whole album, and I remember at the time feeling physically sick… I’ve never been able to enjoy a Sunday Roast again.
3. How did the band form? What is the band’s vision and goal?
Our paths crossed, we all enjoyed the same things, we had the same type of mindset and we all played music; so we just put our heads together and eventually formed Magistrates. We aim to keep on making good music for as long as humanly possible, to express ourselves through it, and to send it rippling around the globe.

Fantastic mix – that includes, Iggy Pop, Joy Division’s “Warsaw”, Blur’s “Music is My Radar”, Skee-Lo (!), Prince’s “Starfish & Coffee”, Jamie Lidell into Miranda! AND Carly Simon’s “Why?” – all my fav tunes from these artists! I can’t wait for the Magistrates’ album.

Part New Order meets Madonna with a touch of Klaxons and Justin Timberlake. That is what I hear in this track. Pop goodness. Love it.

Magistrates – Heartbreak
On May 25, 2009 Magistrates will be releasing their new Heartbreak EP in the UK. It will feature their new single “Heartbreak” which you can hear now at their myspace as a remix of the track and a cover of Sterling Void’s “Runaway Girl”, a classic 1988 Chicago House tune that suits Magistrates’ falsetto poppy sound.

Magistrates are a UK band signed to XL Recordings. They remind me of Phoenix’s pop appeal and musicality with Klaxons’ falsetto vocals with Jamie Lidell’s white boy soul vibe and a touch of Maroon 5’s undeniable catchiness. Let’s wait and see what their album has in store for everyone.
