But i still don't feel like blogging. But just so that you won't miss me, a selection of tracks i've been digging lately. Heard of this one a couple of days ago, had to get it. Surprised with what came out. Damn nice. Boys Noize - & Down (Teenage Bad Girl Remix) [right click to download] If this one was an original, it would be called "Pets Spaz". SPA - Pets Dance (Les Petits Pilous [...]
Matthew Dear's most recent excursions have found him at the doorsteps of the minimal-but-funky regime of techno music. Inspired by pioneers like, Mike Inc., Thomas Brinkmann, and Ricardo Villalobos, Dear has ingested, manipulated and re-introduced his version of this always changing and innovative realm of sound creation. Recent acceptance into the legendary Plus 8 roster and ever-popular Berlin based, Perlon label has solidified Dear as a viable source for pushing the boundaries of modern dance music while at the same time remaining focused on the simple goal of making people dance.(src: discogs ) http://www.matthewdear.com [...]
Big big big. The first Valerie compilation is upon us! And I'm super excited to say the least. It's Valerie And Friends out at the end of the month on Bandroom Records and ESR. The comp doesn't just rehash old Valerie gold, it's sorted with new tracks from your fave Valerie kids like Anoraak, Russ Chimes and The Outrunners, so score for that. The package is rounded out with some choice cuts from their best pals like Jupiter, Electric Youth and Loose Shus. So so good to have a definitive Valerie release. Look out for it [...]
And at the close of one contest, another one emerges. I'll keep this post brief since I just talked about Shout Out Out Out Out over here , but let's just say that I've heard some outstanding things about their live show. Well, it looks like they're going to be bringing their vocoder infused dance party to Lee's Palace on Saturday April 25th , and it promises to be insane! Their openers are no slouches either. You've got the self proclaimed macho disco sounds of DVAS (Dietzche V & the Abominable Snowman), [...]
You know I'm a huge fan of what Valerie does, gathering all great acts under one roof and putting them out there for us to enjoy. But I rarely post anything they hand out for free on their blog, and I figured everyone reading this blog don't necessarily know what Valerie is and what they do. Valerie is a blog, recordcompany and promoter (If that's the correct word for it), anyway.. I realize by posting this I look really silly in lot of peoples eyes "like duh, Valerie , like we don't know [...]
Вот и долгожданный релиз Kidda - Feel Too Good (Jack Beats Remix) , в полку nu pumping'a прибыло, Jack Beats сделали трек в стиле Crookers или Herve , так, что невооруженным глазом и не отличишь. Я как-то начал напевать этот трек и нечаянно в припеве ушел на Kidda - Under The Sun (Herve's Ain't No Sunshine Mix) , честное слово не хотел - уж так похожи. Тем не менее - новый отличный танцпольный боевик, хит - это точно! Kidda - Feel Too Good (Jack Beats Remix) (alt) [...]
For lovers of synth pop and Valerie aficionados this might be one of the most exciting releases of 2009: Justin Faust's Revenge EP is finally out on Bouchmiture Rec ordings and available at Beatport (buy, buy, buy!) . In 2008, Justin Faust from Munich has delivered tons of great remixes of, contributing to the Buffetlibre Rewind project and dropping a remix of Daft Punk's "Harder Better Faster Stronger" that has made it onto many "top of 20083-lists. Now he's off to a great start into 2009 with an EP [...]
We're a bit late on this and by the time you read this you probably already know: They have done it again. Buffetlibre DJs have asked musicians and other DJs to mess with their favorite tracks from the 70s, 80s, and 90s of the past century. They compiled the results and now offer the world a ridiculously long list of 89 tracks to download, for free. That's right: eightynine! I still can't believe it. I can hardly come up with the time to listen to all this music. It goes beyond my imagination how Marc and [...]
Two remixes for the new College single, The Energy Story, have been pumping on my iTunes today, one cranker from the always in-form Justin Faust , the other from high-flying disco duo DVAS . Although I'm a sucker for the (Original Mix), these two extend the love a bit, so grab 'em now. College - The Energy Story (Justin Faust Remix) College - The Energy Story (DVAS Remix) COLLEGE OF LOVE
I love movies as much as I love music, I watch every single day a new movie before I go to sleep. It's a routine I have, I have to watch at least one movie or my day/life feels completely wasted. I need some excitement at the end of the day, besides intercourse. Anyway, I love 80's obscure movies, like that really underground shit. And the shit we call "underground" here in Finland even though it prolly was shown on every godamn theater in America. I watched this movie called Cyborg with Jean-Claude Van Damme [...]
Justin Faust returns to THE DOCKING STATION after last weeks post . This weeks installment consists of remixes and not original productions. It's more of what you can expect from Mr. Faust, as he slowly becomes the German French touch icon he was born to be. I first heard his Daft Punk remix after I first made contact with Justin. I asked him if he could send it to me so I could post it, but low and behold DISCODUST had already asked for it, and Justin had agreed to [...]
our first feature on justin faust was one of the most popular posts recently, we received countless comments and messages asking for more. and before i even got around to hit him up about new tracks, i just got a mail from justin faust with links to three new remixes. must be my lucky day or something. (on a sunday? no way!) first up is his latest remix, for australian collective bmx (pictured above and previous feature on them over here ), as with all those upcoming remixes, justin [...]
Symbol One of the Valerie stable has made an real dancy hit with the DVAS song Ambient Room, which is nice. I love Valerie, they seem to get what we loved 'bout the 80's and cranked it up a notch and just made it into something wonderful we all retro peeps can roll around in [...]
After my thrilling summer job I am looking forward to returning to school. This will mean more relaxing, more smiles and more time to write and post music. I've got a few good things to throw out your way though. DVAS REMIX!! Everyone knows I am a big fan of DVAS . These guys come from our northern neighbor Canada and are producing straight dance/club hits. All of there songs have the steady beat that make me wanna dance for 6 [...]
Réveillé a 11h, par le voisin (sa devrait être interdit de tondre sa pelouse le matin), spaghetti/parmesan-télé, pas un rayon de soleil a l'horizon, tendance pluviale. Sa va se la jouer geek. > Stereoheroes - Washout (Mustard pimp remix) > DVAS - Ambient Room (SymbolOne remix)
The duo known as DVAS has been synth-rocking Canada for the past couple of years and are probably best known over here Europe-side for their tasty Valerie-flavored mixtape work; their Passion Communication mix from a few months back hit all the right notes, including the likes of Moroder and Jan Hammer from days of yore, right up to the present day with Adeyhawke and a few of their own originals, natch. Deserving of more accolades and making the quick rounds these days is the super hot Symbol One remix of Ambient Room , [...]
W.K.N.D. Post I am officially beginning PT 1 of summer holidays and as such I will be away through the W.K.N.D. and most of next week. However, the place that I am staying will have all the amenities that I (and You) have grown accustomed to. The only hiccup is that there will be no Sunday Post this W.K.N.D. To atone for such malfeasance I will drop a Holiday Post instead of a Sunday Post. I am bringin my ipod with me of course and some of the tracks that [...]
Photo courtesy of dissonanze Welp, I'm a bit late for my mid-monthly collection of ace tracks that I've found across the blogosphere or thru my library. Remember as always these aren't necessarily new to everyone, but all good and need to be exposed for all to see (plus, I get major site hits when posting some of these most recently SAFE!!!)
