Post-it collage courtesy of Adrian Wallett Musical Mood: Walking home from the bakery Rough Genre: Electro Joakim is another brilliant French producer/DJ bringing us some superb electro goodness. I love these two tracks. Teenage Kiss is a little more upbeat, you could dance to it if you wanted! I Wish You Were Gone is a bit more relaxing, the intros lovely. Joakim - Teenage Kiss (dub) . [...]
A Map. Where I want to go. Musical Mood: Relaxing Rough Genre: Acoustic Rogue Wave covered this Yeah Yeah Yeah's track for a romantic compilation CD called Sweetheart (full tracklist here ). And I've fallen in love with it! aha... No it is actually really good - listen: Rogue Wave - Maps (Yeah Yeah Yeahs cover) . Buy Rogue Wave - [...]
Tape courtesy of Tape Deck (well worth checking out) Musical Mood: Walking home from the bakery Rough Genre: Electro Remember the MMMathias remix of Bloc Party's Signs I posted a while ago? Well here's more of the good stuff. MMMathias has just released a new mix tape, cunningly titled Gold MMMix and its a grand blend of Signs-like soft and tingly remixes with a few upbeat womblers for good measure. I've also included the MMMathias [...]
Finest hair I've seen in ages Musical Mood: Like, going to sleep and then being woken up Rough Genre: Electro If you haven't heard of La Roux yet, best check out my previous post on their first single Quicksand here . This Skream take one their track In For The Kill is like two separate remixes. Until 4.10, you could quite happily be lulled to sleep by the thing. Then there's a crafty late pick up where one of your legs might start [...]
Looks like a lovely day for playing guitar on the steps Musical Mood: Relaxing Rough Genre: Folk Heard this track in the 6th episode (series 3) of Skins. Its really pure and tranquil, just Vashti's soft vocals, a flute type instrument and some light guitar plucking. La la la la la. Vashti Bunyan - Dimaond Day . www.myspace.com/vashtibunyan
We all know what this is! Musical Mood: Walking home from the bakery Rough Genre: Rock/Pop/Electro I don't think I'd ever heard a good Beatles remix before the Streetlab boys sent me this cheeky number. Nice 'n choppy. I used the "I don't really wanna stop the show!" section in my mix for Gruvi the other week as a sort of outro. [...]
Photo courtesy of Brian Glanz Musical Mood: Like a dream Rough Genre: Electro I found this amazing Royksopp remix of DJ Spiller track Cry Baby on Youtube yesterday accompanied by a beautiful line art video. I didn't think I'd heard of Spiller but he has quite a famous track you'll probably recognise - Groovejet - which you can watch here . The Cry Baby video below is fantastic. It touchs on those little quirks [...]
Photo courtesy of Iain Alexander Musical Mood: Upbeat and happy! Rough Genre: Jazz/Soul/Electro In an effort to interest a new generation of music fans, the Verve record label decided to open their vaults to a host of budding remixers asking them to work their magic on some classic jazz and soul tracks. The results, in my opinion vary enourmously, but Verve have released a series of compilation albums which have been fairly successful. The tracks I have here today are brilliant [...]
Rabbit...stag... Musical Mood: Relaxing with a punnet of Spanish strawberrys (alhough try and buy local - its greener!) Rough Genre: Electro Another mellow Sunday morning track for you. The lyrics are a little depressing I admit and yes the song is called Burial but if you switch off a bit its quite relaxing. Enjoy. Miike Snow - Burial (DJ Medhi remix) [...]
Photo curtesy of btm Musical Mood: Bouncy-bo-diddly Rough Genre: Electro/Soul/Jazz So last night was my radio debut! I did a mini (18 min) mix for Jon Bevan's Gruvi show on Manchester Student Radio ( FuseFM ) last night. Its sort of a fusion between the stuff on his radio show (soul, jazz, funk) and my passion - electro music. You'll find the likes of Mr Scruff and Lemon Jelly here, along with some cracking remixes (the Nina Simone one [...]
Photo courtesy of Patrick Theiner Musical Mood: Party! Party! Rough Genre: Electro This cracking tracked popped up on the Kitsune Maison Compilation 6. The Kitsune lable is well worth checking out if you enjoy the likes of Alan Braxe, Cut Copy, Rex the Dog...in fact there's just loads - check it out . [...]
Alter Ego. Photo courtesy of nudevinyl Musical Mood: P.A.R.T.Y Rough Genre: Electro For some reason this track reminds me of the Coburn track I posted the other day. I think its because they both have amazing breakdowns but separated by these lengthy, choppy build up sections, where a lot of people will just be hanging around flossing their teeth and what not. Once again - tip for impatient people - skip to 1.34. [...]
These guys are loving it. Photo courtesy of minifig . Musical Mood: P.A.R.T.Y Rough Genre: Electro Following the other day's informative Duran Duran post I'm going to say hardly anything today. Except - impatient people skip to 1.18 on this (it's worth it!): DJ Donna Summer - Hoovermore Alternative link (Mediafire) www.myspace.com/djdonnasummer
Photo courtesy Alecska Musical Mood: P.A.R.T.Y Rough Genre: Electro / New Wave Please forgive me, but I'm going to try and impart some knowledge about this track rather than just get really enthusiastic about it and throw it at you - which is what usually happens here. In July 2003, Erol Alkan made his first ever mix CD, called it One Louder and presented it front cover style to readers of Muzik. Nestled in at [...]
Photo courtesy of Presty Musical Mood: P.A.R.T.Y Rough Genre: Electro / Tropical / House I played at a party in London last week and flipped on a bit of Fatboy Slim which I haven't done in a while. These tunes always go down well and they appeal to all kinds of crowds aswell. First up Gangster Tripping , a track with a lovely tropical feel. And then FB's greatest remixes Brimful of Asha and Renegade Master . [...]
Efterklang pie by Heather Woods Musical Mood: Relax Rough Genre: Electro Here's a beautiful track from last year. The thing that struck me about this track is that it really is like a journey. The dynamics are fanstatic; there are dips in volume, cresendos and fades all over the place. Its quite quirky but nice and soft for a Sunday morning. I think its best listened to first with the video which features some kind of bird with human legs going for a [...]
Coburn Musical Mood: P.A.R.T.Y Rough Genre: Electro / House This is a Stanton Warriors remix of We Interrupt This Programme , a track Coburn released in 2005. It all starts off nice and blurpy with some choppy vocals and we're all happy wandering along thinking "Where is this going?" Well, lets just say you will be rewarded. If you're not known for your patience you may want to skip to 1:13. [...]
No listen! This is good! Musical Mood: P.A.R.T.Y. Rough Genre: Electro/Rock/Pop Some cracking classics remixed by Soulwax/2ManyDJs for you. This Rebel Rebel remix is fantastic. You could nicely drop this into the middle of a set starting with - "I am a DJ, I am what I play" - then gradually breaking into the signature guitar twangs of the original. Phoar! And! Bonus - here's the 2ManyDJs remix of dEUS Everybody's Weird . [...]
Photo courtesy of freeasinfreedom Musical Mood: Chilled out Rough Genre: Electro We met Ancient Greece obsessed Marina and the Diamonds previously on Cassette Culture here , and a grand remix of Obsessions popped up the other day from Pinkstallone. Nice and chilled out. Marina and the Diamonds - Obsessions (Pinkstallone remix) Alternative link (Mediafire) [...]
Photo courtesy of 顔なし Musical Mood: Party Party Rough Genre: Electro I spent 9 hours flipping out stomping tunes at a party last night and when I finally got home this afternoon and checked my e-mails, I found that the Billion Dollar DJs had sent over a new track smothered with pounding bassline variations! So pretty bad timing but I think the fact that this new track of theirs (called Sugoi!) somehow permeated my throbbing head and actually got a pleasant reaction, is [...]
