Keep Shelly In Athens - REMIXES EP

Transparent just released a new FREE Keep Shelly in Athens digital EP, featuring remixes of the duo’s latest sold-out 7″.

Remixes from Blood Diamonds, D. Paris & a really interesting Maria Minerva rework, in which she uses some old Spice Girls jam karaoke-style sample over a warped version of “Song to Cheer You Up.” Really good stuff!

Keep Shelly In Athens new VIDEO.

Keep Shelly In Athens - 'Hauntin' Me' from Jamie Harley on Vimeo.

A really great video from Lounge/Wave act from Athens, GR Keep Shelly in Athens. This is the video of just recently released single "Hauntin’ Me" which is available on a 7″ via Transparent. I also highly suggest getting your hands on a copy of their debut EP In Love With Dusk.
