A klaxon is an electromechanical horn device, everyone likes Klaxons so much because its fun to say klaxon, and because they sound like bloc party on meth and ecstasy. DJs love Klaxons because of those FATTY bass lines they drop in their tracks, and the dude is less whiny than most with a Factory records haunt to his voice. The Bouncer and Atlantis to Interzone have become public property of the remix community.

here for many more bangers
Crystal Castles - She Fell Out
Crystal Castles - Love and CaringAlong with the CC remix, Klaxon's new Xan Valleys EP on Kitsune features Australian Vanshe Technologic already well-blogged transcendent remix of Gravity's Rainbow.
Klaxons - Gravity's Rainbow (Van she tech mix)I haven't heard much of Vanshe but what I've heard I like (check out their balmer Miami Les Fruits). Here's their sinister tear-up of a Daft Punk standard and an original track to boot
Dangerous Dan and Nicky Van She Technologic - Around the World in 5:07 (direct link thanks to acid girls)
Van She - Kelly (I love this gay fucking song)
Who is South Central? It's probably unliscensed, but this one just WONT quit
Klaxons - The Bouncer (South Central Bootleg)And, well, it's not Klaxons, but it is Maison Kitsune, and this one gets me every time too
Metronomy- This Could Be BeautifulThat last one should kill you
