Well there is a very vast range of crap up there so I am sure if you have enough patience you can find something you like, however the things I liked the most are below;


I Highly Recommend

Lesser Panda – Carousel (Drums Of Death Remix)

This is a track which my girlfriend found and said “You will really really like this song it is your type of music” so I gave it a go and yes she was right. The intro builds with a discoish bass riff and some background electronics into some pounding bass and kick drum. After this you will find yourself only half way into the intro as the anticipation continues until the big bass riff drops at 1:35 leading to indie vocals. It is one of those tracks which gives a different feel every minute and would be a destroyer on the dance floor – but how would I know I don’t dance..

Chemical Brothers – Hey Boy Hey Girl (Soulwax Remix)

Some unknown artist remixing another unknown artist – let me know if you know who they are. Anyway the classic synths fill this track so deep you may find yourself trying to describe the feeling with a wide open mouth and some sort of animal sound when it drops on the dance floor – but how would I know I don’t open my mouth.

Bjork – Innocence (Simian Mobile Disco)

Simian Mobile Disco has a very distinct remix style especially compared to their original productions. I believe it is probably one of the boy’s creative outlets of drug induced tranquillity. Almost minimal the track progresses over its 8 mins into a proggy electro bomb utilising Bjorks dreamy voice in an almost trancey way. I don’t know how this one would go on the dance floor but it works great as a wake up call on a long flight when shuffle delivers.

Siriusmo – Girls Rock

The Chop Shop DJs showed me this track a few months ago and it was a pleasure to hear them play it at The Empire on the weekend. If I was to dance I would have definitely danced to this one. Siriusmo has an almost trademark synth solo style which gives his tracks an 80’s rock plugged into electronics style. The big bass and repetitive lyrics have meant after a few months I am still really enjoying this one.

Cut Copy – Hearts On Fire (Aeroplane Remix)

I would never have though that I would be interested in Hearts On Fire again even remixed as the track is like sooooo 2007. However my friend, this little Aeroplane has done something quite intriguing to it, keeping only the vocals and a few samples at the end and turning it into a disco ball treat – Genius!


Well I hope that you can start visiting my site again so I can keep up the posting because I just have so much to share with all of you little things. I will try to get some of my most favourite albums of the year up very soon – so until then remember that a part of the weekend never ever ever ever dies.

Mar 18th, 2008 4 Comments

I highly recommend

The Ting Tings – Great DJ (Calvin Harris) - The original of this track is really gaining popularity and I only found that out after thoroughly enjoying this remix. Calvin Harris is clearly a genius and all I hope is that he continues to produce great disco dance hits/remixes and does not turn to the dark side and start producing for pop stars as a career. His album was one of my favorite from last year and his live show earlier this year was very impressive. I loved him for touring with a band when he could have just as easily settled for a one man show like Muscles. This remix is real disco pop and it is sure to make every one happy.

Cut Copy – Lights and Music (Moulinex Remix) –
I have been a little obsessed with Cut Copy’s Lights and Music since I first noticed it in a live set last year at Daft Punk. I have just got my hands on their new album “In Ghost Colours” and for just one listen so far it is really sounding the goods. It almost reminds me of “The Dark Side of The Moon” in the way it is mixed and put together with pysadelic intermissions between tracks. The original will always stand above this remix because “Moulinex” decided to loop just the “And Music” for the closing part of the track cutting out the all important weapon of the original chorus lyrics. The remix becomes an absolute destroyer at around 1:30 when the jumpy bass synth provides a real electro feel. This has been my favorite remix for a few weeks now and is still going strong; I would love to hear this one out.

Calling In Sick – Cali Games – Where the hell did these guys come from?? Apparently Sydney and I thank my mate Skour for pointing them out to me. I first heard their track “Cali Games” on their myspace and I was amazed at the bumpy ride the track took me on. The first noise that grabbed me was what sounded like a clean synthesised slap bass riff which was soon accompanied by the complete opposite in a disgustingly dirty lower end. The track continues to lay down amazing sounds and riffs which sounds a little like Kissy Sell Out if he was to sign to Ed Banger records. . It sounds like a lead guitarist is hiding somewhere within this electro production, with incredible solo synthesised guitar riffs ripping perfectly through the bottom end of the track. Check out the boys at their myspace for some of their other productions/remixes. If “Ajax” has heard these guys I am sure he could be thinking of putting them on his new label as they would fit perfectly.

The Rolling Stones – You Can’t Always Get What You Want (Soulwax Remix) – Well this is just another remix for the Dewaele brothers to add to their already blinding resume of all things perfect in music. I believe “The Rolling Stones” had some say in how far they could go from the original and what the end product would be, but who would not trust Soulwax to produce perfection in every form. This remix was made for the new movie coming out soon called “21″ which has the greatest sound track I have ever seen including tracks from “MGMT, Get Shakes, LCD Soundsystem (New Track), Peter Bjorn and John, Junkie XL, UNKLE and Mark Ronson”. The remix is progressive keeping the original vocal track building with some synthy bass and what I believe to be original samples. This track will be perfect for the movie and I am looking forward to seeing how they use it.


Hope you enjoy the tracks, have a great Easter, eat lots of chocolate and remember the myth at Skull Hill near Jerusalem.
