Well here is a housey DJ tool for you. Well done and straight forward. DJ Sneak - Ezeckiel 25 17 - This part of the post is more of an update to a previous [...]

Hello Boppers, It's wolf.

The aforementioned song, Pon De Floor (Chewy Chocolate Cookies remix) was Gifted to me to use on my website from the artist himself, Chewy Chocolate Cookies back in 2010 or [...]

Yo Bopperz. Now this is my type of jam. Lots of disco sampling make this track a true disco House tune. Couple that with some sexy shuffle drums and you've got yourself a party. Great track by the elusive Adjuster. Adjuster - Moscow Disco - We've got some more disco stomping goodness on this next track. A cool remix of Space Cowboy's Crazy Talk. It features new House diva vocals and tons of low pass filtering. [...]

Hi Bopperz. Today we're starting off with a jazz remix by Japanese producer Mondo Grosso, aka Shinichi Osawa. In his typical fashion this track bangs hard and is full of sound. The bassline here is real thick, and the breakdowns are real classy. Fun jazzy party tune. Archie Shepp - Blues for Brother George Jackson (Mondo Grosso Next Wave Mix) - This next track isn't really House, more of a disco edit thats basically proto House. [...]

Yo Boppers. Art by Melissa B With today's post we're going back in the mid 90s. The first track is by Inner Tube and is considered a classic. Packed to the brim with aggressive House shuffle drums and a pulsing bassline which goes in tandem with a smooth synth. Great to check out. Lots of cool little sounds in it. Inner Tube - Pump Me Up! (Mumblin' Jim Mix) - Next we have some [...]

Word up Boppers. Todays first track is by Buffalo Bunch. It was released on Guy of Daft Punk's record label, Crydamoure. That is reason alone to get it, but also, its a damn good record. Probably not a peak time track, but its very nice. Buffalo Bunch - Music Box - Finishing up today with some NYC House by none other than Armand Van Helden. This is a remix of the Kim English classic Nite Life. Great [...]

Word up Boppers. This first track is a remix by Boys Noize of Kid Alex… which is him too. So yeah. Tons of sub bass in this track. Its one of those tracks you'd expect to hear in some club in Berlin in the middle of the night. Lots of cool stuff happening here. Kid Alex - My Conversation (Boys Noize Remix) - Next up, we're basslinin' with Roger Sanchez on his remix of Daft Punk's [...]

Hey Boppers. Our first track is a remix by Switch which boldly features a Jimi Hendrix sample. Theres a lot of syncopation happening and a pretty big build up. This is a great way to put Jimi in your DJ sets. Speaker Junk - Foxxy (Switch Remix) - Our next track brings us back to French House circa 1999. Big beats, compressed and filtered. This track features a Notorious BIG sample over a big bassline. Check [...]

Yo Boppers. First up we're going back to the early 90s vinyl days… here is a classic tune by Romanthony. This is a great track, both for listening and the dancefloor. This track was original coupled with Hold On, a similar track that was later rereleased on Thomas Bangalter's label. Romanthony - Da' Change (Vocal Vamp Remix) - This next track is a 80s infused remix by Alan Braxe & Fred Falke. Quite aggressive sounding for their [...]

I wanted to make a post about Felix Da Housecat's side project, Aphrohead . To describe Aphrohead would be like taking the soul of Felix and then putting it on a dirty vinyl record that Jack would throw down on... This stuff is straight up gold and definitely worth checking out! Listen to APHROHEAD on Beatport! Beat Dat Shit is my personal favorite... Also, I'd like to share with you my own remix [...]

Hey Boppers. We're starting your week off with a Paul Johnson remix of CZR. We all know this classic tune (and if you don't, now you do), Paul just gives it some extra punch and loopiness for maximum dancefloor satisfaction. CZR - Chicago Southside (Paul Johnson's Dancin Up A Storm Mix) - Next up we have a mega bassline remix of Sebastien Leger by Superfunk. This track takes the classic loop from the original song and then [...]

Yo Boppers. First up we've got some Roy Ayer's proto/early House. This track has a very jazzy composition with repetitive lyrics overdubbed. Classic sounding and classic in every way. Nice classic tune. Roy Ayers - Fast Money - Next track, we have some early "techno" by Derrick May. You could easily throw this in on a modern dancefloor and it would probably still be effective. Fun track with lots of classic sounds. Good times. [...]

Word up Boppers. The first track today is some tasty Chicago House by the jack master, DJ Sneak. The original version has a fun female vocal, but I went with the instrumental today because its still very good. This track was released only about 5 years ago, yet it has a sort of timeless sound. When most were pumping out grinding basslines, Sneak was keeping it smooth and funky. DJ Sneak - Funk Erotica (Instrumental Mix) - [...]

Hey Boppers. Going way back today with these tracks. First up is Armand Van Helden's remix of Da Funk, which was released in 1995. Daft Punk also used bits of this remix for their live show back then. I think its pretty cool that Daft Punk seeked out remixes by their favorite producers and basically helped them become more known. Cool things happening in this very extended mix. Daft Punk - Da Funk (Armand Van Helden's "Ten Minutes of Funk" Mix) [...]

Hey Boppers. Buckle up for some more oldies but goodies. The first track today is a remix of Stuart Price's band, Zoot Woman. But not just any remix, the Todd Edwards remix. This track features Todd Edwards' signature sample cuts and vocal arrangement. Good fun if you feel like dropping some UK garage. Zoot Woman - Taken It All (Todd Edwards 'Soul Line' Radio Vocal Remix) - To wrap things up we have a track [...]

Word up Boppers. This week we have one French electro classic and a classic disco house jam. First up is DJ Mehdi's first "big" track, I Am Somebody, which was also his first release on Ed Banger Records . Also starring in this great party jam is Chromeo, providing hot vocals and additional production. This post particularly features the "Paris" version which has slightly different instrumentation at the end of the track compared to the "Montreal" version. DJ Mehdi ft. [...]

Our first track is a bootleg remix of Daft Punk's Something About Us. Its named as the Eastar Remix, which there is very little known about. But hey, who cares, this track is really good and really fun! [...]
