Songs that remind me of other songs
Listening to Foster the people a lot lately.
Filled the 'cool indie disco band' gap nicely havent they?
'Call It What You Want' is one of their stand out tracks, catchy, fun and infectious as badger aids. However, more importantly, it reminds me massively of The Virgins 'Rich Girls'. Which in turn, reminds me not of the Castlevania remix, but of the awesome The Shoes remix of 'Teen Lovers' from a few years back (featuring a young Sky Ferriera btw.)
Random. But leads to good songs....
The Virgins - Teen Lovers (The Shoes Remix Ft. Sky Ferriera)
Next
Another track, this time more on the pop side of things. In as much as its a complete abomination of music as we know it. But neverthless, T-pains new track sampling Lily Allen ' reminds me of another track from a few years back by t-pain. Which again, in turn, reminds me of an awesome little remix that smashes the original. Dont know anything about 'Gods Of Fashion' but this remix is pure houesy vibes! go see.
T-Pain Ft. Lil Wayne - I Can't Belive It (Gods Of Fashion Remix)

Massively annoyed that its completely impossible for me to get to London tonight, for Justice's free album launch party.
Alas. There will be other times. Although im really interested to see how the play out 'Audio, Video, Disco'. I don't think its strong enough to tour as they did with '†', so they could change it up for the live shows. Either way, keep posted for the forthcoming vids.
For now,

Dirty South & Thomas Gold - Alive ft. Kate Elsworth (Tommy Trash remix)

A lot of people are posting up the John Dahlback remix of Sneaky Sound Systems latest single 'Big'. Which is good, but i prefer this by the duo who keep smashing out some great disco fuelled remixes.

Gotta get this out of the way. I don't usually post up commercial mainstream stuff, but this track is too huge. In my eyes, mainstream hiphop n rnb have been messing about with dubby sounds for a while, but only until recently has it actually been working. Jay z & Kanye's project, B.o.B's new stuff and this.
Labrinth, the guy who makes Tinie Tempah sound good.
Labrinth - Earthquake
There, i said it.

Again, one of the sounds of the summer, skipped past without posting up, til now.
SBTRKT - Pharoahs
Gotta stop depressing myself by posting up tracks of the summer, which is well n truly out. There's usually an explosion of good new stuff come october, as everyone finally stops touring and gets back in the studio to finish that loop theyve been messing with over the summer.... keep posted.

HOUSE ME, AGAIN.
Another bit of deep houseyness for yous. Its been floating around all summer, played to death in ibiza and the festivals, but again not posted for some reason or another. Sits perfect in any house set, another track of the (my) summer.

Think im gonna end up posting up a few bad ass house tracks that have been floating around most of the summer, but that ive never got round to before.
This, was really annoying to get hold of. Found it eventually, not the greatest quality and i will be grabbing a 320 the next time i can/remember. However, its still good.
Don't be put off by these 8-9 minute housey numbers, go with em and be rewarded. Theyve been making crowds go nuts over the summer. memorieeeeesss....

I follow rivers
This is delayed due to the tragic death of Mehdi. Bestival memories are tinged with that sadness now. Still in shock at how random life can be.
But there were highs last weekend, so we must continue.
There was a couple of big tunes this year that, pretty much, got played in every house set going. Joe Goddards 'Gabriel' was one but this monster stood out the most.
I kinda missed it first time round. I mean, ive had the track, listened to it a few times, but never really properly. The genius of it really stands out when its played in a good house set, which the likes of Andy n Jaymo and Tensnake (and countless others) did.
Dangerously addictive.

R. I. P DJ Mehdi
A great Dj has died at the age of just 34.
I didnt know him personally or ever meet him. I'll respectfully leave the heart felt messages of sadness, to all of his friends and family that knew him well and will miss him so.
How i did know him though, was through his music. I urge anyone who may read this who is unfamiliar, to listen to as much of his stuff as possible and realise what a loss this truly is. He was an integral part of the Ed Banger label's sound and direction. Crossing and creating genres until this very day, under the 'Carte Blanche' super team, alongside Henry Riton.
Probably his most well known track, this single video comes nowhere close to summing up his library of genre blending music.
He will be missed by all.

The Magician
Oh dear. Looks like far too many have beaten me to this already. Oh well. I try.
Much hyped over the last few months 'The Magician' releases his first single proper Ft. Jeppe.
Personally, im not overly impressed. Its a good track, i mean, its disco house with a solid piano riff throughout, so, i'm gonna like it whatever. Love the vocals too, probably more cuz they remind me of Classixx - I'll get you, which i played endlessly. This aint in that league by a long shot, but its addictive. Kinda like a very good Penguin Prison remix. Its good, but it just feels like it should be better.
Anyway. More please.

Ya know when theres that one track you just can't get enough of, so you end up listening to it over n over n over, until it it fills every aspect of your mind, every second of every day its constantly replaying in your head, filtering into your dreams, so its there when u sleep and there first thing when you wake.....it becomes, inescapable. Until it gets a bit boring like.
Well, here's a track like that.

Q.
Think this single is gonna take off.
For one, Marina looks hott in a blonde wig. Two, arguably more importantly, this is a great pop song. Chuckie nails the production and Marina, as you know, has the voice, style and substance to go with.
Really like this Starsmith remix too. Apparently it didnt make the cut. I guess we'll have to wait n see what did, but judging by this, they should be pretty damn good........

Love the original, this remix has more dubby vibes...
Fixers - Swimmhaus Johannesburg (Beat Connection Remix)
Also, this track happened recently... its insane, the vocal breakdown and then the second drop is pure heat. cant get enough.
More soon.. (promise;)

LOUD NOISES

This time in the form of some jackin-fidget-electro-jump up house music. At least, if that was a genre, these would be in it...

new calvin harris vid
Say what you will about Calvin Harris, but he's a great producer that makes great tracks. If he leans towards the pop market, so be it. All it means is we get to hear it on the radio.
Not one for video reviews, but hey, why not.
So, obviously immediately recognised the guy in it from MSTRKRFTs 'Heartbreaker' and it looks and feels the same with the whole camera position, style and lense etc. The director, Vincent Haycock has a vimeo channel, so go check that out for a couple of minutes of visual entertainment.
I like this video. I especially like the little bit where he dances through the kelis set. Its a nice touch.
For a while now theres been two parallel worlds. With the music world and the blog/fashion world, running alongside each other, feeding off each other. Thats why you get sexy 'it' girls like Bebe Zeva in your videos (and slightly weird men like AJ English)
Its like style needs its soundtrack and the music needs its imagery. Either way, its all rolled up into one music/fashion/cultural ball of blogosphere that we all like the taste of. And videos like this nod towards that. Which pleases me.
that is all.

And now, for something different.
I'm not one for posting my all time favorite artists up, just because, they are. But the mood strikes me today. So i will.
Rob Dougan, the australian born electronic/orchestral/genre-bending producer makes some of the best music i have ever heard. His album, Furious Angels, is now over 10 years old and although theres been whispers of a new record for some time, rumours have it that he's bought a vineyard in france and music is no longer a priority. Which, i hope and pray, is not the case. I havent found an album equal to that since. Its not pop music, but its great music.
Anyway, if you havent heard of him already i urge you to go and buy 'Furious Angels'. It will change music for you.... Here's just a tiny snippet of what he can do.
Rob Dougan - One And The Same (Coda)

Hey, You!
Yeah, you! Tom Staar! you crazy little scamp! Not sure why this has erupted from your mind 3 years after the pop record of the summer, but i promise you, no one will complain.
Maybe he only only just got round to finishing it, or lost it, or is waiting for the many other remixes to go away first. Or, maybe, its just to accompany a little remix compilation thats coming out soon. Whatever the reason, its gonna be blasted out of my lo-rider for many months to come........
Pony Pony Run Run - Hey You (Tom Staar Remix)
The original was pure summer in a pop record, this is pure summer, in a dance track.
Tom and Moda continue to grow and will soon own us all. Maybe. But you could go to a show and see for yourself.
(btw this is a low bitrate version, as are all my tracks...ahem..)
(side note, is it still acceptable to post links to myspace?)
(Also, I dont' really have a lo rider, but i promise to play it loud from my big noisy land rover ;)

Yes, sparkly. The most appropriate word for this monster from Dillon Francis.

An unrelated sidenote, but an important one. Its good to hear Ben, frontman of the brilliant Fenech Soler, is doing well after being diagnosed with cancer a few weeks ago. They've just announced their rescheduled UK tour dates, so click HERE for all that info and to keep updated.
Obviously we wish him welland can't wait to see him at their future dates.

Even if its an ad.
Its Still Justice and Romain Gavras and those two together, simply do not not miss.
Also, from what we can take from this, its very encouraging to see Justice are not shying away from their usual audible epicness...
If it didn't begin as soon as they finished their first, the hype for their second album, begins now.

Two nice tracks for you from two great house producers.
Reset! gets better and better. If you like awesome french house made by Italians, click here
RESET! - Sabrage *love this
You now know what a Siriusmo track sounds like. He's got his own sound and this track is a beautiful example of it.
Siriusmo - Idiologie (128 kbps)

Filthy Dukes have a new ep out now on beatport. Go fetch music loverrrrrs.
I don't like picking out favourite songs. Songs are good in different ways at different times. However, if forced, this would probably make my top ten list of all time. So any excuse to post it up.....

Whilst everyone was at the brits last night, i (and a few hundred more) were at the Bristol leg of nme awards. So there.....
A good night, but i was pretty underwhelmed by The Vaccines, i expected more rowdiness from the ramones'esque punk-alternarocker(?) ers, but also something more...well....unique. Its a fine line between mimicking and paying homage, one im not sure they pull off. Overhyped for sure.
Everything Everything, as always, lived up to their hype. Tricky to pull off some of their songs live, with the ridiculous high notes n all, but they were great as ever.
Magnetic man, well, just weren't. I had my doubts whether the production trio would work as a live set and these were fully realised as they pretty much fell off my musical radar for the forseeable future. 3 standard producers messing about with their laptops over some lazy dubstep. Annoyingly, this pleased the majority of the crowd, but personally, im bored with it now. Skream, go away and come back with something relavant.
Finally, Crystal Castles, who despite Alices broken foot, still lived up to their riot inducing best. Seriously, Alice Glass is a phenomonen, who else does what she does? broken foot or not? Awesome, as ever.
And a track. Uh, i guess the first song i ever heard from Crystal Castles will do......
The Little Ones - Lovers Who Uncover (Crystal Castles Remix)

Modestep?
thats, Modestep? anyone?
Don't know what to make of this track. I actually quite like it. But it really is a dumbed down version of 'dubstep'. I want to criticise it, saying how obviously formulaic it is. How easy and lazy it is. How its just cashing in on this popstep bandwagon. How its not that much better than Britneys attempt.....
but, i won't. Its catchy as hell and a nice addition to the mainstream airwaves. Make of it what you will...
Modestep - Feel Good (edit)
(this won't stay up long, so apologies if its down already)

Friday Flux
Yer, its friday. Dubstep remixes then....
As ive often stated, Dubstep is dead. hmmm, kind of.. Commercialisation kills anything, too much, is always too much. I mean, it died a while back, but now Britney?! Britney Spears? The Britney 'hit me baby one more time, cuz im pregnant, have many drugs problems and have a slightly colder head than usual' Spears? releasing dubstep tracks?! thats the final nail, if ive ever seen one.... But anyway, it basically takes a decent 'Dubstep' track for me to care.
Flux Pavilion is one of those few producers that keeps making interesting music.
M.I.A - Internet Connection (Flux Pavilion 'Late Night Lag' Remix)
As a bonus....
Fenech Soler - Demons (Sigma Remix)

Pianos (are fun)
Chilly Gonzales has provoked this from me. Songs, with pianos in......
Yep.
I've kinda met Chilly Gonzales (Jason Beck). From that very brief encounter, and from what i can tell from everyone else who has, i think he's pretty much insane...Luckily, he's also a bit of a musical genius, which is a good combination.

Keep it in the family
So so happy that Pnau are back!
Sam La More, Nick's brother and co-producer on (i think) every Pnau album, has yet again fired off another Pnau remix. Of course i love it, but would still like to get my hands on the original.
Pnau seem to be taking a slightly different direction on this next record, but on the back of the EOTS success, hopefully, they will see it get more airplay this time around.
Anyway. I won't bore you with more indulgence.

Two door have a new vid.
I usually don't like it when a band release almost every track from their album, but when their album is this good, i can't really blame them. Its also probably got a lot to do with them 'cracking' america (and the rest of the world), which seems to be going well for them. Either way, im not complaining.
So, i know a lot of blogs have and will post this remix up. But its just too good not to do the same. Its a bit old in blog terms, but its just a bit mahoosive too. Turn it up loud, please.

Why exactly this hasnt exploded onto hypem like, i dunno, the next track from some french dj duo, remains a mystery to me......
I loved it the first time i heard it.
Its too much for me to explain what 'The Bullitts' are. A collaboration of artists, musical and visual, names you know and that you will know. An album waiting in the wings. Its a hive mind of music.....
