So, how about some more popstars, a very new one from the lads, giving Beyonce that bit of Irish she needs...Ha. Then an old/odd mash up from Soulwax. Just got the 'Mash Up Machine' recently, and although I have heard most of their MashUps, this I havent... Beatles vs. Kraftwerk, two legends in their own right!!! Anywho enjoy, i hope to return with many posts (of relevance)...
So, it's been a while since ive put anything, but im back, so to start of the tunage, the legendary Japstars...
Three guys, Gary Curran, Gareth Donoghue & Declan McLaughlin. Hands down my favourite act in a long time!!! Maybe the fact that they are Irish may have an effect, but you cannot deny that they are fucking unreal...
Every remix they have put out sounds nothing like the song their working on, which I think is class. Already two Singles, an EP, and an Album under their belts, the trio have been getting rave reviews from some of the most influential people in the music industry.
Now I have seen that a good few of the blogs have been putting up their main tunes, basically all the big killers, so i decided to do the following: Recently I stumbled on a link to a stream of their live set from Oxegen (Recorded by RTE Ireland), and after listening to it i was disappointed in the quality... So i recorded it, improved the sound level (still not perfect though), and split the tracks so as to appropriately label them! This is the end result:
1. Sample Whore 2. Gas Face (Japanese Popstars Remix) 3. Yo Jay (Japanese Popstars Remix) 4. Electronic Poet 5. F19b (Droppin Bombs) / So Shock'In (Acapella) 6. Get Down (Japanese Popstars Remix) 7. Face Melter
8. Delboys Revenge 9. Anthepic (We Have Taken Over) 10. Rise Of Ulysses
**[Edit:: If you have downloaded the set, change track 3 from 'Yo Jay' to 'Uurrat Ta Ta Tat Ta Tat'... I was confused first between the 3th and 4th track, sorry all!!! p.s. If anyone has the remix of Yo Jay, would appreciate alot...]**
I have it all as a rar file, if you would like i will put them up individualy also, enjoy... (PS above are just 60/90 second samples embedded)
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
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...
