Summertime

Tuesday, September 30th, 2008

UK grime sensation Wiley is back! With the success of Wearing My Rolex behind him, we are graced with a funky little ditty by the name of Summertime. Sampling Daft Punk’s Aerodynamic, Wiley’s lyrics flow nicely over the top. I’ve got a good feeling about this one.

Its Kitsune Maison time again and this time we have been blessed with “The Melodic One”. Packed with a bunch of amazing tunes from artists like Pnau, Ted & Francis, and Appaloosa. We have managed to siphon a couple of the best for you. Pick it up over at Kitsune.

Faust

Friday, September 26th, 2008

Thanks to the nice people over at Discodust I was introduced to a cool new artist by the name of Justin Faust. I was suspicious to see that he had done yet another Harder Better Faster Stronger remix. With that in mind I sat down for the first listen. Boy was I wrong. Not only was this mix highly original, but a perfect club track. I just couldn’t let it go. Check it out.

Massive Chill

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008


Today I thought I would post a selection of chilling out songs. First up is a track from Conor Oberst’s (aka Bright Eyes) called Souled Out!!!. I have been meaning to post this track for a while, I think it’s a great track.

You might be asking yourself, what is the difference between Conor Oberst and Bright Eyes? I asked myself the same question. Officially the band is called Conor Oberst and the Mystic Valley Band. The band is made up of Conor and Nate Walcott from Bright Eyes and a few others who make up the Mystic Valley Band.

If you compare this to Bright Eyes, the music has a slightly happier feel, with the lyrics being a little less dark and confronting.

Conor and the other band members re-located to Mexico to record this self titled album, so maybe the change of location changed his perception and consequently the lyrics, either way, as Bright Eyes or Conor Oberst, he makes excellent music that makes you think.

The next couple of tracks are going back to 1994 and are from Massive Attack’s album Protection. I picked these tracks because, they are a couple of favourites of mine, for when I just want to chill out.

Popular Computer

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

A wonderful discovery of mine was a nice little French record label that goes by the name of Rise Recordings. Their heart is in all the right places and home to such acts as Yuksek, Don Riminia and Popular Computer. RR’s latest release is Popular Computer’s Lost and Found EP . Packed to the brim with some amazing remixes, take a listen to the original and Shinichi Osowa version.

Post a comment for a chance to win this 12inch!!!

Ladyhawke

Saturday, September 20th, 2008

After the release of Paris is Buring, we all knew the Ladyhawke album was going to be a success. But I could not have prepared myself for how amazing it actually was. This album can best be summed up as “Perfect Pop” (Credit Rhys Woah). Judge for yourself with two of the best tracks on the album, My Delirium and Love Don’t Live Here.

Ready Or Not Here I Come..

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008


This is a hot track! Strong steady bass lines are what we all love. And this is what
Dj Sega and Diplo have both done to make this track killer. It’s called Ready Or Not and I have for you the Diplo Vs. Dj Sega Remix.

CLP – Ready Or Not (Diplo Vs. Dj Sega Remix)

Diplo has worked with some other killer artists like Santogold where he did a ‘Diplo Dub’ of the Top Ranking Santogold tracks releasing a record spreading the love… I must admit I hadn’t really heard of Dj Sega before I found this track, and I’m beginning to like what I hear on his Myspace.

Diplo will be touring Australia later this month as part of the Parklife Festival which has made alot of people excited.. I can’t wait to hear more of both Diplo and Dj Sega remixes coming in the future.

A Step Back

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008


I know i haven’t been posting as frequently as i used to.. Mainly ’cause I’m working two jobs and haven’t really got free time anymore.. which sort of sucks.. but is also kinda good. And working two jobs doesn’t mean I haven’t been listening to some killer tunes.

One track which has been stuck in my head is a little different to what I usually post and takes us back 22 years.. It’s by A Tribe Called Quest, and it’s called Bonita Applebum. It was a guy from one of my jobs who got me onto these guys, mainly because he is the biggest ’80′s Hip Hop freak I know. Check it out… You never know, it might get stuck on you.


Bonita Applebum – A Tribe Called Quest (192)

Its been a while since we had anything from Midnight Juggernauts, so I thought I’d put up a track remixed by Danger.

Into The Galexy – Midnight Juggernauts (Danger Remix)(192)

As all you Australians out there should know Parklife is just around the corner – And nearly all states have SOLD OUT..! If you haven’t got your hot hands on some hot tickets you’re going to miss out on acts like Goldfrapp, Soulwax, Peaches, Diplo and Yuksek just to name a few.. So why not feature a track by one of the artists playing. Here i have a track by Familjen, it’s called Huvudet I Sanden.

BOUNCE

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

So whilst we’re waiting for early leaks of Ladyhawke’s new album, I though I would post something that was kindly sent to us. From MSTRKRFT’s Bounce maxi single comes a nice little Felix Cartal mix. Enjoy.

4 Loveless

Monday, September 15th, 2008

This post is just a kick back to the Christmas of 2006, when the Bang Gang Dj’s mixed a special little CD for Japanese record store Loveless. For me it’s really an homage to the music of the good-old-days. Definitely worth a download if you haven’t heard it before.
