This week we have Canadians remixing Canadians.  French-Canadian Amy Aubrac-Prince, better known as Teen, has been producing dance music since she was 17.  She is somewhat of a mystery to her fans, I have even heard some rumors that Teen is the new solo project of JFK from MSTRKRFT; I don’t buy it.  Amy grew up in France and New York, today she operates out of Toronto and has been shaking up the Canadian club scene for some time now.

Aubrac-Prince hasn’t released a debut album yet, but we’re hoping she will in the near future.  Her most recent release is her second go at remixing the Canadian indie-pop band, Stars, which came out earlier this month (we also love her other Stars remix).

Stars-Changes (Teen Remix)

Stars put out “Changes” a year ago on their latest album, The Five Ghosts.  A good tune, but its got that kind of “coffeehouse” vibe, made complete with its airy vocals and semi-eccentric music video.  When Teen got around to it last month, she totally reworked it into a down-tempo disco track that kills on the dance floor (or pool parties, etc).  It’s safe to say that most Teen remixes sound completely different than the original version.  She definitely has a knack for remixing these slowed down indie tunes into dance-electronic gold.  Here’s a perfect example:

Valery Gore – Shoes of Glass (Teen Remix)

Also last year, Teen remixed Valery Gore’s slow melodic jam, “Shoes of Glass”.  Aubrac-Prince took Shoes of Glass in the same direction as Changes.  Teen’s remixes just have a little more of that Binary feel to them.

Teen – Body Heat (Movin’)

Aside from being a champ at remixing, Teen’s original tracks are full of funky and dreamy down-tempo disco.  Here is another release from last summer, Body Heat.  More disco than dreamwave, but it’s another great track from Teen’s arsenal of sensational tunes.  Can’t wait to keep up with this artist and see what the future will have for Teen.
