Looks like Ed Banger are trying to get back to the Glory Days, and why not, they were epic. Uffie's latest release, 'Difficult', has done a great job at that, IMO. Although, as you can see from the blog, I love all things SebastiAn, I'm edging towards the Azari & III remix, very fresh take indeed.
Anyway, thought I'd throw the 2 of 'em up for support and my 2 favourite 'oldies' from the lady herself, Anna-Catherine Hartley. Enjoy...
Back once again with the renegade master, or something like that...
A few classics revamped, couple of big names on duty too. Have been listening to a lot of their original material so I sought out some fine remixes, enjoy.
Started off as three Swedish guys messing about, but it has just gotten a lot more serious. I watched the video (above) for 'Black & Blue' on some website and loved it, the song and vid. Haven't been as interested in a band for a long time, just remixes and shit. Such a great debut albumas well, no track disappoints. Hooray for Miike Snow...
For the tunes, just a couple from the album, and an unbelievable remix of the latest single, enjoy...
It's been a while, i know, i'm sorry! The reason i haven't been updating the blog lately is, that i was getting extremely irritated at the amount of posts being removed (DMCA).
So, to the sole purpose of this website, MUSIC goddammit... Listening to alot of Vitalic lately, what a genius, here is a few tunes not featured elsewhere, i think. So enjoy...
THE MASHUPS: First Mashup artist is new enough, i presume, to the scene, MoneyTalk. Not much on his MySpace except that he's Irish (Which is a bonus). Also that he emailed me with the two tracks below, one of which is not on his page. I liked the first one alot, which is what inspired me to do a MashUp post. Then a couple of kick-ass tracks from the well known A Plus D. The male/female duo from san francisco, Creators & DJs of Bootie USA, the only MashUp night to be at.
Bastian Heerhorst, better known as Fukkk Offf, from Hamurg Germany, has in the last year, had nearly every blog on his shit as soon as it hits, and why not! Theres always heavy stuff out there, always will be, but the first time I heard of FO was his remix of Forza, and I was blown away!
Anywho, heres one of his latest originals, and two of my favourite remixes, enjoy...
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)...
The English Farrier Brothers. These guys, are one of my new favourite acts! I've been aware of them, but after I picked up the Soap 12" a couple of weeks ago, I can't get enough of thier madness. Also, cannot wait to get my hands on their upcoming debut album, 'Golden Traxe'.
For the tracks, their specially made track for the Boys Noize compilation, and the main track from their self-titled EP. Two wicked tunes in their own right, Enjoy...
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
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...
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)
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...
