Hypem: Zeitgeist Top 10

2008 BEST ALBUMS:

To be quite honest, there was not a whole lot to choose from this year album wise. Especially with regard to the type of tunage I tend to buy. Anywho, I said i'd compile some sort of a list (Some include unreleased & live cds) , so here it is:


10. Does It Offend You, Yeah? - You Have No Idea What You're Getting Yourself Into

9. Radiohead - In Rainbows

8. Justice - A Cross The Universe

7. Mr. Oizo - Lambs Anger

6. Oasis - Dig Out Your Soul

5. The Presets - Apocalypso

4. Soulwax - Part Of The Weekend Never Dies

3. Cut Copy - In Ghost Colours

2. SebastiAn - A Fine Selection of Remixes!

1. The Japanese Popstars - We Just Are

Bring Tha Noize, Boys!!!

BOYS NOIZE RECORDS:

My final post on record labels, and i really did leave the best 'til last. The label of labels in my opinion, at least at the moment, and their recent compilation marked that...

Alex Ridha, his productions, remixes and collaborations can and will always keep me entertained... Other notable artists on the label include D.I.M., Les Petits Pilous, Strip Steve, Shadow Dancer, Siriusmo & PUZIQUe (of which Ridha is half).

For the tunage, the A-side of the labels very first release, then one from Eastwest (Boys Noize & Housemeister) only release. Third, and final, is one off their more recent releases, enjoy...


Boys Noize - Optic (zshare)

Eastwest - Easy Come Easy Go (zshare)

Les Petits Pilous - Going Techno (zshare)

It Really Is Great Stuff...

GREAT STUFF RECORDINGS:

I first noticed the name Great Stuff Recordings when i got the track 'Fergie - Ireland' off the Great Summer Games Stuff. I then realised (via the standout artwork) that i had already a decent amount of their releases in my library...

I dont have the track Ireland up, but get it if you can. A delightfully named and produced techno track. The tracks are just a handful (three) from their string of releases, enjoy...


Andrea Doria - YaoO (zshare)

Jean Claude Ades & Vincent Thomas - Shingaling (zshare)

Whirlpool Productions - From: Disco To: Disco (Mike Monday Disco Odyssey) (zshare)

RePoSt: Melee Beats Interview

Since my interview was taken down I havent really had anything to post on, so im re-posting this, and then i'll finish my string of posts re: Record Labels...


MELEE BEATS:


INTERVIEW:

1. So, first off, when was it you started dabbling in the art of producing. Also what software / hardware was it you first used?

I started in the Fall of 1998; I was introduced to FLStudio (then called Fruity Loops) by my half-brother. It wasn’t very good at the time, you could only program drum loops, but it kept me entertained for quite a while, and I kind of grew with the program.

2. As ive read before, melee beats is the disco of 70's, the synthesis of the 80's and 90's house! Which of those is your favourite era, and, which do you think stands out more in your productions?

Disco, funk, and soul are my favorite, but that’s only what I like to listen to. I love to dance to 80s, and I like to tie it all together with house/electronic beats. I think a lot of each comes through, but predominately there’s a lot of 80s sequencing and sounds. They all correlate somehow, though!

3. Is there anybody, from your childhood to now, that you would love to collaborate with, in any form?

Quincy Jones – his work on the Michael Jackson albums is phenomenal. Or Stevie Wonder for sure.

4. What is on Melee Beats' current playlist at the moment, and, what is the last record/single/mp3 you purchased?

I picked up the CRS/Pusha T remix of N.E.R.D.’s “Everyone Nose” and have been rotating that heavily. It is a little slow for some people, but I think the beat is phenomenal and Lupe Fiasco comes through with an awesome verse. Besides that, the new Soulwax remixes that are coming out are fantastic, MGMT, and DJ Kue’s new remixes are all getting heavy rotation.

5. Who do you think is going to be big in the not so distant future?

Well, we’ve encountered a LOT of gimmicks associated with productions acts, and an onslaught of new-French electro/fidget/whatever. Many people will say that’s the current hot thing, but I honestly think it is declining. It is being overdone and overexaggerated, just like filtered disco was towards the end of its run. I think the electronic crossover bands like Soulwax, !!!, and LCD Soundsystem will lead the next wave of music. It is very hard to say what is currently on the cutting edge, but there will definitely be a shift coming. I have a hard time keeping up!

6. Finally, do you have anything in line for after the release of 'Triumph'?

I am working with my longtime friend and performance DJ Kue for a new club-oriented album that is really going to take people by surprise. There are some restrictions placed upon the Melee Beats title that make it difficult to do some of the things I’m doing on this album; all I can say is that it will be a very, very innovative and listenable club record! I’ve also finished three tracks off of my next album “Hot Damage,” which could be out in the first quarter of 09...

WTF???

DELETION:

Yesterday I received an email from the Blogger DMCA with regard to the post I created with the interview of Melee Beats (now deleted...). So can anyone tell me, what copyrights i've infringed, as I received permission from the man himself??
It's quite a confusing letter, so any help would be cool, just really pissed as i've lost the mp3 links....

Clothed by Sixpack France

INSTITUBES:

An absolutely great french label (of which there are many), serious releases from names like Bobmo, Surkin, Para One, Tacteel, Das Glow, and so on and so forth.

For the tracks, a few old ones, rarely blogged on as of late!! So, em, yeah, enjoy.....


Das Glow - Weiss Gaz (zshare)

Surkin - Ghetto Obsession 2006 (zshare)

Para One - Midnight Swim (Riton Re-Rub) (zshare)

MaisonKitsuné.Fr

KITSUNÉ MUSIC:

Created in 2002 as part of the Kitsuné Fashion Label. So far, they have over 80 12"s, 10 CD compilations, and a small few full LP releases under their belt. Also, with the one of the greatest trends of artworks flowing around, attached to all Kitsuné related material...

For the tunes, as usual I try to up some tracks not on the hypem, hopefully this occasion is no different, so enjoy...


Palermo Disko Machine - Shake Dat Shit (zshare)

Klaxons - Gravity's Rainbow (Nightmoves Mix) (zshare)

Guns N' Bombs - Nothing Is Getting Us Anywhere (zshare)


Also, as an added bonus, a new track I grabbed from (I don't know where) a while back, which I am presuming will be on either Kitsuné or Turbo (previous posts...

**Digitalism - Home Zone (Proxy Remix)** (zshare)

Give It TURBO Baby

TURBO RECORDINGS:

As i've mentioned before in my post on Tiga, he is the founder of this MASSIVE label that is releasing, along side BNR, the most incredible shit that's floating around these days. The list of artits on this label include: Tiga, Proxy, D.I.M., Chromeo, Dahlback Bros., Martini Bros., (Some) Popof, and most recently, ZZT. That is just a random handful from the list, check them out yourself.
For the tunes, I picked some 'Turbo' related material, that hasn't been blogged on much, so here, enjoy...


D.I.M. - Noize (zshare)

Proxy - Ready To Watching (zshare)

Tiga - Burning Down (TGV Remix) (zshare)

L'Ed Wreckers

ED BANGER RECORDS:

So for the next few post im going to cover the labels that keep me coming back for more. So I decided to post first on the label that started it all for me. Granted it was Justice that got me listening for more on Pedro's label, but as soon as i heard SebastiAn I never looked back. To this day he is my favourite dj/producer/remixer etc.

The Ed Rec crew started off really strong with strings of releases from UIffie, Justice, SebastiAn, and the rest, and they really started something with their volume compilations.

Anywho the tunes are just a random selection from the main artists, enjoy...



Busy P - What's Your Name Again? (Busy P Remix 2) [Fancy] (zshare)

DSL - Invaders (Busy P Remix) (zshare)

Justice - D.A.N.C.E. (Live Version) (zshare)

Mr Flash - Eagle Eyez (zshare)

SebastiAn - H.A.L. (zshare)

Uffie - Ready To Uff (TV Track) (zshare)

And as a little bonus, the track still untitled since it's blog release, but still worth postin'...

**SebastiAn - Unfortunetly Untitled** (zshare)

Slipping Births

UNDERWORLD:

This is my last post on my favourites in Electronic music, and for the next while I'm just gonna post on the labels I respect so much.
Anywho, I ain't even gonna bother saying anything about these legends, it's in the name, it's in the music:


Underworld - Dark & Long (Dark Train)

Underworld - Two Months Off (Radio Edit)


As a bonus song, it is a track that was in Underworld's Back To Mine Compilation years ago, it's Hip and it's Hop...


**Dead Prez - Hip Hop (Radio Edit)**

Pantha del Tekel

PANTHA DU PRINCE:

First discovered this German legend, Hendrick Weber, when I heard Steiner Im Flug (not up but check it out). His most recent album, 'This Bliss', is a masterpiece in my eyes.

For the tunes, not only my favourite remix of his, but near my favourite ever, and then a popular track from the album, enjoy...


Pantha du Prince - Walden 2

Depeche Mode - Lilian (Pantha du Prince Remix)

------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------

[T]EKEL:

Don't know much about these guys, Julien Briffaz & Loic Le Guillou, except that they've had a good few, top notch releases on 'Initial Cuts' since 2003.

Check out the tunes though, pretty similar in style to Pantha in my opinion. Just a couple of random selections (i like to up stuff not on hypem if you havent noticed yet). Enjoy....


[T]ekel - Ridvo

[T]ekel - Creitel Connecxion

Trans Canada High Way

BOARDS OF CANADA:

BoC consists of two scottish brothers, signed to Warp Records. Also known as Hell Interface, they have a back catalogue of releases on their self-run Music70 label.

For the tunes, a classic from 'Geogaddi', a rare from a Warp compilation, and my favourite remix of theirs, enjoy...

Boards of Canada - Music Is Math

Boards of Canada - Orange Romeda

Mira Calix - Sandsings (Remixed by Boards of Canada)

**Just a little test with different file hosts and other things, sorry for disruption, also still can't get on hypem, really annoyin...**

BUY: MP3 CD VINYL

Low Frequency Oscillator

LFO:

Back to my electronic posts...
Mark Bell, the first major electronic act i ever saw, what an absolute legend. Ever since that video of 'Freak' (fucking mental crazy might I add) I couldn't get enough of it.

Anyway, the tunes, one old, one new(ish), and a mix of my favourite tune (classic '90s vibe), enjoy...


LFO - Blown

LFO - Tied Up

LFO - LFO (Leeds Warehouse Mix)

I Filled My Lungs...

OXEGEN:

MSTRKRFT - Street Justice (MSTRKRFT Remix)

(**Highest Recommendation)

Other cool acts were: Dj Koze, Burns, God Is An Astronaut, Slam, and a few more i cant think of 'em.
I missed The Chemical Brothers but they were meant to be kick-ass. If you caught something else that deserves to be on the list, drop a line...

Fill Your Lungs With...

OXEGEN:

Although after last year I said never again, the line up and price I got on a ticket just was too enticing, soo off i go in a couple of days.

Anyway, i wasn't much into electronic until a good friend pointed me in the direction of this man (an Irish born man at that), and that broadened my musical spectrum, and so on so forth. The tunes are just some standout solid material from my RDJ collection, Enjoy...


Aphex Twin - 4

AFX - Elephant Song

Aphex Twin - On (µ-ziq Mix)

The Tuss - Death Fuck Mental Beats

A View From Across The Pond ...On Dirty Electro

DIRTY ELECTRO HOUSE MUSIC DOWNLOADS:

DEHMD, a blog I stumbled on recently, that caught my eye with staggering amounts of quality tuneage. A few days ago, I saw that he had dedicated a post to this here blog. In return, I decided to recipricate in according fashion, also some artwork he's free to display on his site.

Anywho, just a few of the songs i digged on his blog, check them out, then check the blog if you havent already, enjoy...


Goose - Nike Original Run

Benjamin Diamond - Baby's On Fire (D.I.M. Remix)

...E† Jus†ice Pour †ous

JUSTICE:

Since i started blogging i have been posting specifically on my favorite artists. Then i devised a plan to keep covering my favorite artists, so far has been my fav. electro artists, with a couple more posts to go. On completion i will then move on to my electronic side of music, and possibly after maybe cover my most admired labels, you know what can be expected of that.

Anywho, this post is on Xavier De Rosnay & Gaspard Auge, but focused mainly on the unofficial remixes of their MASSIVE tunes. I have, in a way, compiled an album of unofficial remixes (track list below), of my personal choice, the best of the best as it were.

I plucked a trio to download. If you would like any more, or if you know of any other decent remixes (unofficial), drop me a line, enjoy...


Waters of Nazareth (Gaetan Remix)
Waters of Nazareth (John Redden Remix)
Waters of Nazareth (Ghettoruckus Re-Rub)
D.A.N.C.E. (Your Dirty Habit Remix)
D.A.N.C.E. (Plus Move Pirate Remix)
Phantom (Delete Remix)
Phantom (Troublemaker Edit)
Phantom (Thunderous Olympian's Lite Ghosts Remix)
DVNO (Mathematikal Re-Edit)
DVNO (Night Facilities Rejiggle)
Stress (Bart B More Remix)
We Are Your Friends (Silver Remix)
We Are Your Friends (Scottie B, King Tutt & Samir Remix)

Australia Covered... ...well the best two in my eyes

CUT COPY:

Signed to Modular, leading his band C//C, Dan Whitford has come a long way from small time DJing. Joined by Tim Hoey and Mitchell Scott, the trio recently released their sophomore album. Although I prefer their debut, 'In Ghost Colours' is fresh and interesting, but its tracks failed to make my favourites.

They are, my favourite track from their debut, an old song, and a mix of another aussie outfit Van She.


Cut Copy - Saturdays

Cut Copy - Glittering Clouds

Van She - Kelly (Cut Copy Remix)

----------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------

THE PRESETS:

Kimbereley Isaac Moyes & Julian Hamilton, another Modular set, hailing from Sydney. Although Hamilton focuses mainly on this project, Moyes is involved with Coda and Prop, and has released many of his own productions under the pseudynom KIM.

For the tunes, an early song, a single track release, and a rare remix, enjoy...


The Presets - Cookie

The Presets - Truth & Lies

Silverchair - Straight Lines (The Presets Remix)

Dim Out Tha Lights

ANDI MEID:

As one half of PUZIQUe and Tonic People, D.I.M. has made quite a name for himself, with his stand out productions, remixes and collaborations.
The first song listed below is the first i heard of him, played by Erol quite a bit. I found PUZIQUe through Ridha, and I have followed avidly since.

Enjoy the tunes below, especially the second, taken from their 'Thomas' EP...


D.I.M. - Sysiphos

PUZIQUe - Chemie

Shameboy - Heartcore (D.I.M. Remix)

Death By Proxy

PROXY:

With just two releases on Turbo Recordings, Proxy's material has got a lot of play from the big guys around the world. I personally think their style is genius, original and downright eargasmic.

For the audio, a b-side, a remix of their single (Destroy) and one they did for Chromeo, Enjoy...


Proxy - Din Dah

Proxy - Destroy (Riot In Belgium Edit)

Chromeo - Tenderoni (Proxy Distort Mix)

Sweden Has A Mafia?

SWEDISH HOUSE MAFIA:

Prydz, Angello, Ingrosso & Axwell. The four swedes, all at the top of their game.

First artist, Eric Prydz, also known as Pryda, Cirez D, Moo and Sheridan. He also runs the labels Pryda Recordings, Pryda Friends and Mouseville.
Second, Steve Josefsson Fragogiannis (Angello), also known as Who's Who?. He is one half of Buy Now and runs the label Size Records.
Third, the other half of Buy Now, is Sebastian Ingrosso. He works very closely with Angello, under various pseudynoms, and has produced for many big names.
Final artist, and my favourite, Axel Hedfors (Axwell). Probably the biggest name in house at the moment, with clever remixes, big collaborations, and solid productions. His houselabel, Axtone Records, is also up and rising.

For the tunes, its kind of a 6 step from Prydz to Axwell. First, a Prydz remix, then Prydz with Angello, an Angelo remix, Angello with Ingrosso (Buy Now), an Ingrosso mix, Ingrosso with Axwell and finally an Axwell remix! God that's a mouthful, enjoy...


Blur - Song 2 (Eric Prydz Mix)

Eric Prydz & Steve Angello - Woz Not Woz

Goldfrapp - Number 1 (Steve Angello Remix)

Buy Now - Secret Weapon

Eric Prydz - Proper Education (Sebastian Ingrosso Mix)

Sebastian Ingrosso & Axwell - It's True

Dirty South - Let It Go (Axwell Remix)

The Mother Goose

GOOSE:

All hail mother Goose. Four belgians who put out some class material, and even harder remixes, always go down nicely. Go see these guys, live or on the decks, however you can.

For the tunes, a bonus track, extended mix, and a kick ass remix. Enjoy...


Goose - Audience (Bonus Track)

Goose - Black Gloves (Extended Mix)

The Cribs - Men's Needs (Goose Remix)

Don't Touch That Switch

SWITCH:

Dave Taylor, a man of many names. Solid Groove, A. Brucker and Modeler. He has collaborated with many, including Gilles Peterson, Jesse Rose, Graeme Sinden, Jamie Anderson amongst others.

For the tunes, i would have put up the Mystery Jets mix, as i love it, but the blogs are polluted with it (for a reason). So instead i picked my other favourites, enjoy...


Switch - A Bit Patchy (Club Mix)

Spank Rock - Bump (Switch Remix)

The Black Ghosts - Face (Switch Mix)

Klaxons - Golden Skans (Switch Remix)

They've Mastered Their Craft

MSTRKRFT:

Jesse F. Keeler & Al Puoudziukas (JFK & Al-P). Ever since 'Romantic Rights', a JFK performed and Al-P produced song, i have followed these guys thoroughly. The bonus disc on 'You Are A Woman, I'm A Machine' (Erol, Justice etc.) probably pushed my interest in the genre i love so (Electro Goddammit).

For the tunes, one of their best from their album, 'The Looks', a remix of their own and an old enough remix they did. Enjoy...


Mstrkrft - Easy Love

Mstrkrft - Street Justice (MSTRKRFT Remix)

Buck 65 - Kennedy Killed The Hat (MSTRKRFT Dance Remix)

Simian's Disco Gone Mobile

SMD:

The two James', Ford & Shaw, both members of original outfit, Simian.

A major electronic act in my opinion, their original mixes, remixes and live sets are standout.

For the tunes, my favourite remix, and a dub of one of their own.


Simian Mobile Disco - It's The Beat (Dub)

Peaches - Downtown (Simian Mobile Disco Remix)

I Just Daft Punked Your Ass

DAFT PUNK:

Thomas & Guy. I'm not gonna post up half of human after all/discovery/homework, my post is a few of the best unofficial remixes of their tunes and a minimix of my favourite DP tunes.

Some remixes new, some old, i think their deadly. Tell me what you think, about the remixes and minimix. Enjoy!


NvW... - Volume. 2 (Daft Punked Minimix)

Tracklist:
Da Funk/Stronger (Sample)

Daft Punk - Da Funk (Casino Inc. Amazing Disco Mix)

Daft Punk - Harder Better Faster Stronger (Unreleased Mix 2) [White Label]

Daft Punk - Voyager (Revolte Remix)


The 'Voyager' and 'Da Funk' remixes definitely my favourites. Highly recommended...

Let's Get Soulwaxed Tonight

SOULWAX:

The Soulwax Experience: Soulwax, 2 Many Dj's, The Flying Dewaele Brothers, Samantha Fu, whatever you wanna call it, the geniuses are David & Stephen Dewaele. The amount of quality releases from these guys. Grab it all if u can.

I'll just let the music do the talking, what it does best.


Soulwax - Krack

Soulwax - NY Lipps

David Bowie - Rebel Rebel (Soulwax Club Mix)

La Ghetto Knight

SURKIN:

Benoit Heitz, one of my first interests in electronic music. When first hearing his songs, such as 'Radio Fireworks' and 'Ghetto Obsession', the words that came to mind were positive, upbeat and very colorful (if music can be colorful).

Even his latest release, 'Next of Kin', holds those values. As for the audio today, an old original, and a rare spoke about remix.


Surkin - Play Do

Justine Electra - Killalady (Surkin Remix)

Something Old, Something New

LA REMIXÉ:

Two outstanding remixes, almost 12 years in between their individual release.

The first is an odd take on the ever so popular 'Pogo'. The second i became acquainted with through DP's live sets. Enjoy!


Digitalism - Pogo (Hey Today! Remix)

Gabrielle - Forget About The World (Daft Punk Remix)

Better Sunday On Drugs

DEADMAU5:

Joel Zimmerman, an absolute genius Canadian producer, moved up in the world via the Internet, the main source, if not the only source, for most of his material. A lot of his remixes became quite popular, very quick, more so than his original tunes. This guy is also one half of legendary BSOD

Anyway, for the music, two songs, extremely standout in his collection. Enjoy..


Deadmau5 - Not Exactly

Jorgensen - Untitled (Deadmau5 Remix)

Just A Quick Fix, With A Mix

NvW...:

Just one of the mixes i put together recently. It comprises of some pretty decent tunes as listed below. Give me a shout if you like it.

These tracks are my personal favourite from Alex.


Boys Noize - & Down

Sebastian Akchote, a pure genius representing the label of labels, Ed Banger Records. Definitely the best gig ive ever attended, him in Spy, Dublin, in February.

So, for the tunes. First is his newest, and best yet. Second is his massive remix of Rage Against the Machine.


SebastiAn - Motor

SebastiAn - Killing In The Name Of SebastiAn

Major Inspiration

DIGITALISM:

Isi & Jence, one of the greatest electronic acts ever. Ever since 'Zdarlight' I have followed their every release, remix etc. Their live sets should be an inspiration to all.

Digitalism - Bez'z

Depeche Mode - Never Let Me Down Again (Digitalism Remix)

The Man Who Started It All

EROL ALKAN:

I first heard Erol when, unknowingly, i walked into where he was playing at a festival a few years ago. He was dropping 'Killing in the Name', which of course caught my attention. From then on I began downloading his live mixes (Available as Podcast) etc. etc. and here we are.

This guy goes under various aliases, including: Mustapha 3000, Beyond The Wizards Sleeve, Kurtis Rush (R.I.P.).

The following tracks are remixes under his main guises;

Ali Love - K-Hole (Mustapha 3000 Remix)


LA Priest - Engine (Erol Alkan's Transonic Edit)

Introduction

This is me explaining this blog.

Basically, I intend to focus each post on a particular artist , possibly a new/classic track from that artist, accompanied by a remix of/by that artist. Then now and again, maybe some mixes, cool links, good buys etc. Hope to get feedback, good or bad, from anyone.

Happy Blogging!
