![[Listen] Keep Shelly In Athens: "Madmen Love" (Mike Simonetti Remix)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4928459_lg.jpg)
En Febrero, Keep Shelly In Athens volvióa a dar señales de vida con un increíble sencillo de nombre " Madmen Love ", el cual estaba respaldado de un b-side que jamás nos compartieron, pero que seguramente también estará apareciendo dentro de su primer material de larga duración, del que hasta el ahora solo sé que llegará a nosotros en algún momento del segundo semestre del año. Mientras tanto, Cascine ha tomado su cuenta de soundcloud para presentar este padre remix que Mike Simonetti le hizo al mencionado sencillo de Keep Shelly In Athens y, bueno, para [...]

El creador del sello discográfico Italians Do It Better quiere que movamos el esqueleto(y por lo que parece le sigue importando un rábano la política de sound cloud, youtube, y el copy right, de lo cual nos alegramos mucho). Como ha dicho, descargadlo mientras esté disponible, y cuando soundcloud no deje, pies a echar mano de otros canales ! Mike Simonetti rules. P.D. Por favor os lo ruego, Johnny Jewel, Chromatics, Glass Candy & company, sacad de una vez "After Dark 2". heres a direct d/l [...]

Geçen yılın son çeyreğinde üçüncü stüdyo albümü Motherboy'u çıkaran elektronik/indie müzik grubu Portecho bu sefer albümde yer alan parçaların remikslerinden oluşan Motherboy Remixes albümünü yine Babajim Records etiketiyle piyasaya sürdü.

When not running the nascent Italians Do It Better label, home to Chromatics and Glass Candy among others, Mike Simonetti finds the time to squeak out a few other gems. I can find nothing about The Sundowner , but I love the tracks on this 123 which is about to drop & if you're a fan of the rest of the stuff in this post, you probably will, too.
Tour dates, party dates, FREE TICKETS. A video. And a new single.

Objet Sonore est une compilation réunissant neuf titres inédits et neuf autres assez rares, dans un registre mélangeant pop et électronique. Un très beau disque que l'on doit à l'association entre le magazine Le Bonbon Nuit et au label Roy Music qui ont passé presque un an à regrouper cette magnifique playlist. Une image parfaite des nuits parisiennes en musique, pour combler nos insomnies ou tout autre promenade nocturne. En vente depuis le 21 Janvier dans un format collector chez Colette et sortie officielle le 4 Mars pour tous les autres points de [...]
The future never came. The year 2000 arrived, a new millennium was born, and yet we were not greeted with hover-boards. Our computers did not sprout legs and profess to love us. Enter Chrome Canyon. If we can indeed recover... READ MORE

Mike Simonetti's 2011 EP "Capricorn Rising" The edit “Dancing is Sacred” is the latest to pop up on Mike Simonetti’s SoundCloud. Simonetti is the man behind the scenes of label Italians Do It Better (and Johnny Jewel is its resident producer). When one considers the label’s relentless darkness-its releases include 2007’s already classic compilation After Dark , and the Chromatics’ Night Drive -Simonetti’s own sunny dance tracks may come as a surprise. “Dancing is Sacred” bounces along with balearic sun and a gently percolating beat. The track, while soothing, isn’t mesmerizing in the way [...]

Sure there are a lot of crappy Christmas parties out there. Usually these jolly gatherings consist of a major hangover in the morning and terrible gifts. Luckily the legends at Soulwax kicked off their seasonal fiesta last night in Manchester before heading to Paris and back to the Brixton Academy in London. This icon live group have been praised over the years for their much loved Radio Soulwax and smashing production. To help bring the spirit will be London producer and European favorite Erol Alkan, Mike Simonetti of Italian's do it better, Mixbell, and Kindness (Live). This massive [...]

YASSSSSS! Mike really is one of our all time blog favorites and we are overwhelmed to have an exclusive mix from him. For those that don't know the New Jersey man started his now legendary 'Troubleman Records' back in 922 and the 'dance' offshoot 'Italians do it Better' with Johnny Jewel in 082. The later has recently presented us with many amazing acts such as Black Dice, Tiedye, Bottin and of course Jewel's breathtaking projects including Chromatics/Glass Candy, Desire and Symmetry. With running parties in NYC since the late 80s and the breath of music at his disposal, you can see why [...]
