Blog: Party By Jake

When I found this B. L'amour track a few months back, I kept it off the blog. Even though at least 322 other people must have it too, the guy is from Paris, so I figured I could get some good mileage out of it in my dj sets around town, before posting it for all of you. It's such a solid groove that makes me smile and want to dance. I've heard that vocal sample used in another track, but it was not done anywhere near as well as this. Download the track [...]

What is Love. Good fucking question. New York's Deee-Lite first raised this question in the 902s, and now the topic has been sampled to make this weird disco tech flavoured track by Vin Sol and Charles McCloud of San Francisco. Similar to the original, it's got a great primal feel, with tight percussion featuring some minimal, industrial sounding parts. Fat bass too. Download the track via Vin Sol's Soundloud player. Also, check out Joking Victim (Vin Sol's TROCODERO REMIX) - Jokers of the Scene [...]

Here's an uplifting piece that delivers in the true spirit of Holy Ghost! (NYC). The track has a tasty plodding swag, with an ominous stadium sized clap. It actually kinda reminds me of Johnny Farnham's "You're The Voice". That's not a bad thing though - it's a supersized disco pop ditty that rises and reaches a dancefloor in the clouds where The Bar-Kays are having a dance-off with the Holy Ghost! fellas.... Clap clap indeed. To download click HERE and follow the prompts. For [...]

This is a bit of a banga version of ADD SUV , for all the heavy shit fiends out there. French duo Indo Silver Club have really amped up the track from pop to drop. This will definitely serve it's purpose at 4am. Click HERE to download ADD SUV (Indo Silver Club Remix) - Uffie feat. Pharrell Williams. Posted by Celebrity Sex Tape.

Hey all, It's been a while now since I've done a post, so I thought I would chuck up this mashup I did for y'all. The guys from Reset! were into it when I played it to them the other night, and it's been getting awesome responses from the humble dancing Canberra folk, enjoy! Posted by Cheese.

Posted by Celebrity Sex Tape. I saw a preview for this bootleg posted on the Exploited Records facebook a few weeks back. It's very cool. Joyce Muniz (Austria) has crafted an uber-groovy edit of one of my favourite Dusty Springfield tracks, "Spooky". It's a bit crackly but definitely worth it. Sign up to their newsletter, in order to download it (if you're into music, I think it's a fair trade). Click the image above and follow the prompts! [...]

Posted by Celebrity Sex Tape. Adam Bozetto (Syd) has remixed this infectious 902s hit by Crystal Waters , to great effect. He's given this classic house tune some nu disco spit and shine. The remix has got a sweet late night groove, smooth but still enough punch for all the get-up kids on the d-floor. The sax, bass melody, and additional percussion make for a sexy edition. Lada dee lada da. Gypsy Woman (Adam Bozzetto Remix) - Crystal Waters [...]

Carajo , as far as I can see, is a mainly Argentinan operation that set up a stall at markets around town - namely the Old Bus Depot. They "hand-pick" quality objects, like bags and shoes, and sell them on. Shoes like these: I really love these shoes. Their adorable  website claims this: We, Walo and Josefina, are brother and sister living on opposite sides of the world. We want to bring those two sides closer! Aren't they just adorable ? My housemate bought these banging things: [...]

Too busy compiling your perfect summer mixtape to even think about energising yourself for the night ahead? As always, the internet steps in to solve all your problems. What The Fuck Should I Make For Dinner is a nifty little web treasure that tells you...well, exactly what the fuck you should make for dinner. Rather then trawling through your mum's Women's Weekly recipe books, just jump online and have this site do it for you. Don't like chicken pot pie? Never fear, the 'I don't fucking like that' button is your gateway to many more [...]

Don’t get me wrong, I love Canberra. Who needs beaches or trams or population numbers in the millions? Not me, no sir. That having said, opportunities to see a good live show in these parts are undeniably much fewer and further between than elsewhere – but, it happens. Nirvana played at ANU bar once, you know. And on Thursday the 16 th of December, Cloud Control came to Transit for the night. Am I insinuating Cloud Control are on the same level as Nirvana? Maybe I am. The real point however is that when a good band does come [...]

DJ/Producer Duncan DCUP's self-described "Nu-Boogie" style is a stark contrast to the soulless electro that has engulfed the club scene this year. Based in Sydney, DCUP has been instrumental in crafting what is now known as the Australian sound , a more funky and musical approach to dance production shared by comrades like GLOVES and Cassian . "To me, Disco preceded House music, and is built mainly around the driving 4/4 beat of the kick drum. Boogie is more of a lovechild of Disco and Funk, focusing on a kick, clap combo, [...]

Why don't you : Do something different this Thursday night? Question: Why bother going out on Thursday now that the drink prices are fucked? Because there is more to life then getting crazy-drunk, kids! For instance, sometimes there is art and a party! There is something called the Chain Gang Exhibition on and it seems to be about young Canberran folks showing their art and playing their music. I'm going because I hear that young Canberran people are hot. STARTS AT 6PM, goes well into the night... [...]

This week's chosen DAMN THE MAN mixtape has been orchestrated by Sydney street lads, Hobophonics . The title "We Also Like Music" eludes to their djing being an addition to their main game  that is  Hobogestapo ~ where they kick ass in party photography slash hedonistic voyeurism. This mix has demonstrated that they have a pretty good grip on the music side of things. All serious aside. This is a fucking fun mix! Plug and play. The weekend aint far away.

Why don't you? : Go drool over the dud's of dead dancers In 1973 the National Gallery bought a stack of costumes from a famous early 20 th century Russian ballet company. Not a tutu or leotard in sight! This collection has designs from some of the most important modern artists and they are wicked . If you like clothes, you have to see this show. I went to the opening the other night and I want [...]

There's a quite a few remixes of Phoenix tracks floating around. Not many have hit the mark quite as well as Alex Metric or Classixx did.

Excellent edit of Talking Heads. Bit Funk brings a happy dose of quirkiness along with the funk.
