Lorenz Rhode - Motor Cortex (Ben Mono remix)

Shoulda done this on friday. But im busy, so bleugh..

But anyway, that was pretty much an awesome weekend, fun in the sun. Feels like like summer again............. and so,


Wiley - Summertime (Crookers remix)

Q.

Human Life

Good remix, but nothing beats the original.

Look out for the Andy & Jaymo remix.

Human Life - In it together (Polygon Palace remix)

HUMAN LIFE - IN IT TOGETHER

*Bonus

Sleigh Bells - Tell 'em

Ok, ive left this one long enough. Beatport has had this available for about a week, so nows the time to share.....

Also, its a flippin awesome track. I love the original and probably like it more than this, but this is still pure heat. As mr Williams says, banger.

Uffie ft Pharrel Williams - ADD SUV (Armand Van Helden Vocal remix)


Also. Uffie news! She's playing bestival in september. As i'm going, this pleases me. Greatly. One more down on the list of acts that i haven't but want to see live......

Q.

Dont fucking tell me what to do

I like this.

I like Robyn.

Basically she makes acceptable pop music.

This track is crying out for a soulwax type (tiga?) remix. I like this original, but will be keeping an eye out for any decent attempts.....

Robyn - Don't fucking tell me what to do

Q.
Did i mention the chems are back with some luverly new material? dont think i ever did that post..... oh well, heres a vid to get u hyped about 'Further' and to remind you just how good they are.

Godfathers of dance music. Constantly pushing dance music forward and renewing their sound as they go. If youve seen em live, i needn't explain further..... Ahem. anyway.....

The vids nothing special, but as always, its different. This really has a familiar sound to it, that i cant quite put my finger on. I'm thinking Daft Punk, but then, you could say that about most dance records. Either way, i like it.




I'm posting this up cuz to me , it has the same feel as early chems stuff. Feels kinda 90's, Norman cook era. MIA's original isnt much of a tune and is really all about the vid. High Contrast basically fix it.

MIA - Born Free (High Contrast remix)

Q
More french anyone?

Cant get much more french than this. I mean listen to that bassline! Gotta be ripped straight from a Daft Punk song no?..........

(am i saying french to much?)

(also, its not exactly the friendliest of names, even if the tune is... "and that was Oh shit and Night drugs"....would love to hear Fearne cotton come out with that on daytime radio...)

Oh Shit! & Night Drugs - Everybody Needs (Bit Funk remix)

The original is pretty good, but of the numerous remixes, this one flows the best est.

Q.

Beating Hearts

Up until now, 2010 has seen only sprinklings of French house here and there. Disco, Electro, Funky, all making waves again, but its not french. French is french.
And so as the Ed Banger label gets into gear, other artists start to push through and begin a summer of touring, the sound starts to change again. For the better i may add.......


First up, Ocelot.

Ocelot - Beating Hearts (Blende Remix)


Example

I like Example. He seems like an alright kinda guy and makes some decent tracks. The thing i dont like about him is the way his music is promoted. Every track he does is 'glossed up' to sell to the general public. Maybe thats what u need to do now days, but it takes the edge of him a bit.

'Kickstarts' is produced by Sub Focus, although tbh, you wouldnt know it. As ever, his stuff is competent enough, but doesnt exactly have his 'stamp' on it. Still, Nicky can do no wrong atm and i much prefer the original to the sleugh of remixes that go with it. A remix for every sub-genre by the looks of things....again, trying too hard to sell the track, takes the edge off.

Ignoring all that, the track is a pretty good pop song. The fenech Soler rmx is prob the most interesting/different i suppose, altho afrojack's is pretty heavy.

Example - Kickstarts (Fenech-Soler remix)




Out 13th June.
