A Vulgar and Objectionable Person

It appears as though the door to my blog now includes a “Content Warning” pathetically hedged to its rusty hinges by complaints to Google. If you are reading this then I hope that you have understood the “Terms of Service” because if you haven’t and I offend you with my “objectionable” content then you are no longer just a douche bag – you are now a retarded douche bag who has been warned.


All my faithful non complaining readers will now be rewarded a dose of Derogatory Hitler in the form of a not so Jewish double playlist. If you are offended by any of my above or below comments – please save the world elsewhere and never come back here you queefing nun sluts.

I Highly Recommend

The Shortwave Set – Now Til 69’ (Aeroplane Remix)

I love telling stories, don’t you love listening to them? Will you listen to this one if I promise that it was not a dream – as I know that dreams are incredible boring to listen to unless they are your own.

I first heard of this track through one of the Chop Shop boys as he returned from Splendour in the Grass trying to detail in words the feeling he got when Gus (Bang Gang) dropped it during his set. He told me to get the track and get everything ‘Aeroplane’ does as it is all good – Well, I did my best and tried several times to get this track however something was always in my way and come 2 months later I still had not listened to it.

The story would continue one night at The Empire as Chop Shop dropped a nu disco number which made me close my eyes, move my head slightly from one side to the other as my hips were correlated in the opposite direction all while my palms were out and facing down – this movement continued with a smile that grew every 32 beats for 5 or 6 mins as my body expressed the feeling which Chop Shop could not originally explain with words. The song was The Shortwave Set – Now Till 69’ (Aeroplane Remix) and you were right thanks for the explanation.

Cannibalism

This track proves that you should always do what tastes right.


CSS – Move (Cut Copy Remix)

CSS are one of those bands with a perfect combination of familiar chords and sweet unique vocals which make them a remix dream. When someone with the production professionalism of Cut Copy gets their electronic mitts on the tracks it is a sure sign of a very friendly remix. Cut Copy play with this combination for the most part of the track giving listeners what they want and in the last 3 mins they start to create something special and give the listener exactly what they need.

Kidda – Under The Sun (Herve Remix)

I never thought I would highly recommend the glitchy fidgety style of Herve however there is something about the sudden change from female vocals to a face warping bass drop that gets me every time.

Atheism

This is not really a feel good track as such – however evidenced by the big bang theory and natural selection even the Branch Davidian religious sect in Waco could have been saved.


Vampire Weekend – The Kids Don’t Stand a Chance (Chromeo Remix)

Chormeo have splashed a sprinkle of gold over Vampire Weekend’s track ‘The Kids Don’t Stand a Chance”. The remix is not really in the same vein as most of their previous electro pop gems however they have utilised the vocal sample incredibly well to create an emotional journey through electronic chord heaven.

Tiga – Future Dimension (Kid Legit Remix)

As you can see I included the big 4 from Europe’s summer in my playlist (The Worm, Kids, Raven and Mind Dimension) mainly just to be cool and stop getting bullied. I have only recommended the ‘Kid Legit’ Remix of Tiga’s Mind Dimension due to the fact that I think all of the above songs were over hyped and need no more words typed about them. I chose this remix over the original as I think it uses the right samples in the right places and lets face it the original and Soulwax version are not going to get any justice until you hear that bass on some serious speakers.

I do hope I was able to utilise my new found “content warning” just a little because who wants to watch a PG movie anyway? – unless maybe they are Pixar or something? Whatever it is like my little brothers video – fuck off.

Buy the tracks from Itunes (good luck finding most of them)

Thanks

P.S. I think this is like my first post ever I have not used the word Synth <-- Fuck.

Last weekend then again this weekend we will find Justice for All

Last Weekend – Pomomofo

I was fortunate enough last weekend to get myself to Empire on Friday night to see an absolutely brilliant band. Unfortunately for them their booking agent obviously did not do their homework and the result of Indy Fever caused the dance floor to seem some what lonely. However the lack of crowd did not stop this three piece (Guitar, Synth, Drums) Indy, Electro, Punk Rock, Pop outfit from causing me to dance harder then I had probably ever danced before. The cause of this uncontrollable movement throughout my body was a punk band plugged into the electronic world of dance music. Pomomofo is the name and if I was not the only person on the dance floor then a mosh pit definitely would have been the game.

Late Night City Lights
Back At The Club


After listening to the above tracks you might be wondering what I am speaking about – The pop electro sounds of “Late Night City Lights” and “Back at the Club” are not at all indications of how hard this band would rock, just an indication of their commercial value and their diverse taste between Punk and Electro. At many stages during their set I found myself clutching at my chest feeling as if I had just run a marathon. During their more punky songs they had no need for a dance breakdown and it was non stop chaos. It was great to finally see a live electronic band bringing the guitar back with driving solos and power chords when the synth would take the lead.

Download;
Back at the Club (Boy 8 Bit Remix)
Back at the Club (Cicada Mix)

The above two remixes are also very nice. Boy 8 Bit is a known for his quality takes on bands tracks and Pomomofo were lucky enough to secure his skills in reinventing the track “Back at the Club”. Cicada chose a different path when playing around with the same track, keeping the vocals and layering the song to make it more powerful and fit for a DJ set.


Do not miss these guys next time they come.

This Weekend – The Klaxons


This weekend I am going to be lucky enough to finally see the Klaxons live, not once but twice. First at their matinee all ages show then that night at their over 18 gig. I do not really have to go on about the Klaxons as they already have more then made it, defining the sound so many bands have been trying to fit into the last 2 years. I will simply leave you with a couple of tracks from their album and also what I believe are the best remixes of their tracks to date.

Download;
Klaxons – Atlantis to Interzone
Klaxons – It’s Not Over Yet
Klaxons – Gravities Rainbow (Soulwax Remix)
Klaxons – It’s not over yet (Gentlemen Drivers remix – Featuring Soko)
Klaxons – As Above So Below (Justice Remix)
Klaxons – Golden Skans (Switch Remix)


And Justice for Justice!


I think that Justice defined many of our 2006’s in terms of dance music, from hitting the outer shell of commercialism with a female voice telling us that we were her friends to the waters of the place where Jesus spent the first 30 years of his life. Highlights of last year for me were a couple of their remixes,

Download;
Scenario Rock – Skitzo Dancer (Justice Remix)

The lyrics and addictive bass of Skitzo Dancer had me hooked until the “Disco, Disco Disco!” loop was put on overkill by just about ever DJ with a set of CDJ’s.

Download;
Death From Above 1979 – Blood on our hands (Justice Remix)

This remix blew me away on first listen and I think it would have to be one of the best remixes I have ever heard. Justice’s take on Death From Above 1979 – Blood on our hands – Try to follow the bass and believe me it will take you for a ride.


You think it would be a perfect start to 2007 when it was announced that Justice would be playing Big day out!! O how naïve I was!! Note – Thall shall not ever get excited about a DJ because of his productions ever again!! I built my excitement up for about 3 months to watch two dudes mix other peoples songs terribly – the only saving grace was that they were good songs!

With the release of the cheese filled D.A.N.C.E as their first single off their debut album “Cross” I basically forgot all about them until they were announced for Parklife. I thought I would give the Justice “live” show a chance after listening to some very tight productions on the album. They put on a good show at Parklife and it was a welcome release to see them playing their own productions instead of trying to spin other people’s records.

So Justice for Justice I guess – Have a listen to MSTRKRFT melt the cheese off D.A.N.C.E and a couple of tracks off “Cross” that stand out in my memory of Parklife.

Download;
Justice – D.A.N.C.E (MSTRKRFT Remix)
Justice – DVNO
Justice – Genesis


O and make sure you download this set and bring it with you everywhere – was produced by a couple of Sydney boys who have yet to do much else. First recorded set I have not only been able to sit and listen to but also enjoy in a long time. Highlights include Goose to Soulwax and a Kissy sellout Triple. Unfortunately as the name of the set suggest these boys forgot good old Justice!

OH NO! We forgot about Justice! – Mixed by Palpy and Cam Ran


Thanks to Pomomofo and Palpy for giving me permission to use their material – as for Justice and Klaxons – Thanks for not answering my calls you losers.
