Electronic 80`s 2 is the first of four Ministry Of Sound Competitions we`re running this month, that`s a fantastic total of twelve CD sets to send out as mojophenia freebies. Anyone of a certain age would be hard pushed to avoid the retro charm and resilience of 80`s Synth-Pop. Aside from the pretty boy haircuts and countless dodgy make-up sessions , many of today's current crop of musicians have begged, borrowed or stolen a chord or two originally rooted in the depths of this decade. I mentioned this link last [...]
Man, I've really been putting in some overtime here today lol. Well, for those of you without any Halloween plans, at least you get a slew of good music on this last Sunday of October. This one I was aware of about a week ago, but only now do I get to it. "The Anthem" [...]
Melo X - She is Forever ft. Jesse Boykins III, Theophilus London Right Click/Save As To Download Thanks to Melo X for reaching out with this dopeness...loving the futuristic vibes. Soul Culture: "Some songs strike you from the get-go. Glued from the first few bars; this became my motivational anthem of the year. Recorded well [...]
CLICK HERE TO VIEW VIDEO About: Last month Pharoahe Monch premiered his anti-police brutality anthem "Clap (One Day)", to a sold out crowd at the Jazz Cafe in London. "Clap (One Day)" is the new single from his upcoming album, W.A.R. (We Are Renegades), to be released through W.A.R. Media and Duck Down in February [...]
This track is by no means new - in fact I've had it for ages now, but I still listen to it numerous times almost every day without fail. Psychic City by Yacht got the remix treatment by the mega talented L.A. duo 'Classixx' - who turned it into an incredibly catchy, nu-disco wonder track. This is easily one of my favourite songs this year (even though it was released end of 2009). Yacht - Psychic [...]
KID A Released 10 years ago this week (02/10/2000). Intro Kid A is in my humble opinion one of the top 3 albums of all time. The dark brooding but ‘optimistic’ atmosphere it creates sounds exciting and [...]
ZZafrika the highly anticipated track from ZZT ( Zombie Nation and Tiga ) which has had the people the world over clamoring for it for months is finally released Tuesday, and what a fucking TUNE it is! Expect to hear this A LOT over the next couple of months. ZZafrika is out on Turbo recordings October 5th. Knockturnal MORE ON ZZT FACEBOOK :: MYSPACE :: BUY TUNES
Planet Turbo have released a star-studded EP of remixes which features a whole host of classic tracks by the likes of Chromeo, Popof, Boy 8 Bit, Tiga and Proxy (below) getting brand new makeovers from stars of tomorrow. Remixers are Diplo, Carte Blanche, Hey Today!, Matt Walsh and The Finger Prince. Win. One of my faves of the bunch is probably Diplo's remix of Proxy's '80002 - a low-slung mid tempo beast. This sound, or more to the point, this tempo is EXACTLY what I've been searching for all summer. I love it. For me - it's all [...]
You can see why those late-eighties/early nineties Chicago House kids moved their bodies in the way that they did. They were all about stacking shelves and making boxes on the dance floor. And that’s because those early house tracks, like this salivator from Azari & III , were builders. They were made from solid eight-bar blocks, stacked on top of each other; progressively. In the same way, the fabulously retrospective Reckless With Your Love is a marcher. It's got direction. It starts with eight dubbed out bars of pure sex: a barely-there but there-to-stay bass line that’s [...]

You should get a tuque or helmet with integrated headphones cause this playlist might get you backflipping . Intermediate (Anthem Remix) - JTRA No You Girl (Foamo Remix) - Franz Ferdinand [...]
Rave king and Nightshifters label roster man Hostage is back with another deep and dark anthem called "Roll" (with a spacey, cut-up collage and blippy colored new video too), and he's giving it up in full for free. Packed with new tracks and remixes, it's sure to be another reason to carry you from the [...]

Last Saturday afternoon... The sun is shining, I was sipping on a Mojito, dancing like a loon in a bar packed full of smiley folks having the time of their lives. Greg Wilson takes to the decks. He plays this. Summer 2010 in the bag. Fleetwood Mac - Everywhere (Psychemagik Edit) I hadn't heard of Pyschemagik until now - but what I've heard on their Myspace [...]
The Chemical Brothers occupy a weird place in popular culture (at least over here in the UK). Their name for me will always be synonymous with my very first days of clubbing. The year must have been 1998 and I was reluctantly attending suburban club nights and having my evenings soundtracked by funky house. NINETIES funky house. No fun. Hey Boy, Hey Girl was one perhaps three (dance) tracks that I have carried from those days to these - truly a diamond in the mire of pop-dance music. Since then, they have occupied an awkward middle ground between [...]
Sharkslayer never seem to do wrong when it comes to dark rave anthems and today is not the day that they falter, as a track called "King Riddim" by Emperatron (fellow Finnish folks) gets the 'slayer treatment with tons of basement whistles and synth blasting and blurting. It's a nice instrumental cut with very few [...]
Unless you've had your head lodged firmly up your bum you'll have noticed we are having a party . And if you haven't bought a ticket yet you better get your click on HERE because they are selling like cakes that were baked in the center of the sun. In spirit of said party I'm giving you a funk filled nu-disco number to wet your New Jack based appetite, as that will be the order of play for some of the aforementioned shenanigans. So this slick piece of rock funk (I hate that [...]

I know I'm about, oh, a year and a half late to the U.S. Royalty party, but that's not going to stop me from posting about a song that I literally cannot get out of my head. I downloaded "Keep it Cool" around the time that it was making it's rounds on all the taste makers, but for some reason it just sat in my iTunes to rot. I hit up shuffle a few weeks back, and lo and behold, the Bo Flex (Yes Giantess) remix of "Keep it Cool" serenaded my ear drums, at which point I [...]
Disco Of Doom are an act that you guys should all be keeping a close eye in the months to come. One of their remixes featured on our We Are Not a Rock Band's 1st Birthday CD back in February - it's an absolute killer (it's below if you missed it). Go to their Beatport page and you'll find banger after banger, all of which would snugly fit into any respectable DJs' late night set. Fortunately for us they're currently working on heaps of new stuff - so you can expect to be hearing lots more about them [...]
Showgirls are a new French pop trio who make infectious disco pop vibes (win) and are signed to Bertrand Burgalat's Tricatel label. We got sent this remix in May but I only unearthed it recently when I was having a late night catch up on emails and got into a chat with one of the dudes at Record Makers - and thank god I did - because it's a fuckin t-une. Hypnolove (who I know nothing about) is the remixer. Now, normally at this point I'd whizz around google to research both Showgirls AND [...]
