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!
