Alan Astor

Bring in the New Year with this super hyped up Bmore/Bass mash up from Alan Astor. Not too bad, though Im so sick of autotune vocals. It will kill it for the right crowd. I like it a whole lot more once the bass comes in so give it a bit of time.

Klumpfisk & Lights Over LA

Klumpfisk makes some really great etherial electronic beats. These tracks would sound great on the dance floor, but I feel like they might be equally suitable for basking in the fog at some very remote cold beach. I thoroughly enjoyed all the tracks we're posting today, and I hope to hear more of his stuff in the future.

Some More Prince Klassen!

Prince Klassen, my favorite DJ from Austin, sent me a new track today! Its a great party jam. I highly reccomend downloading it. Im also posting his Ghosthustler edit. Ghosthustler is a defunct band now, but their lead Singer is producing AMAZING tracks under the moniker Vega . He will be Djing in Oklahoma along with Females on January the 29th! Get excited!

Little Jinder

The Trouble & Bass crew is mostly known for their in your face aggressive bassline music. However, with the release of the Little Jinder EP Polyhedron, they have taken a turn for the softer side of the spectrum. The production in this EP is awesome, and the vocals are pretty dreamy. My favorite track is I like it causal, but all three that Josephine has sent us are pretty damn amazing. This is a great Pop album. Trouble & Bass had a remix contest for the track Polyhedron which has long since past, but you can still get the parts to the song and the master here.

B-Ju remixes Little Jinder and Data

Today we have a couple new remixes from German Producer Dj B-Ju. They're both heavy on the 8-bit sound. The first one is a remix of a Little Jinder song. I saw that girl perform live at Trouble & Bass when I was in Brooklyn recently. She was pretty awesome. The second song is a remix of that Data song Rapture that everyone and their dog remixed. It's a pretty solid track as well.

THe Private Lives of Food

My very sweet and artistic girlfriend Casey Perez has a really awesome new blog! It's called The Private Lives of Food. It's a collection of her personal art work and also some of the cool stuff she finds around the web. Reading it will brighten up your day for sure!

VLRNA: The next MSTRKRFT? Probably not.

VLRNA... they aren't terrible, but then again they kinda are. Lose the stupid vocals and you've got something. Also, Im tired of all the MSTRKRFT wannabees that take the vowels out of their name. I only listened to the first song Moonrocket, so y'all will have to tell me what the rest of them sound like. Opinions? And... GO!

WZRDZ!

WZRDZ is a new group composed of Mark Reveley from Meterhead and and Mike Genius. They have an EP coming out in January on Crushed Records. This song is their first release and it's a good one. Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit has been remixed quite a few times, but this is the only version besides the original that I have ever liked. Hope you like it to! Be sure to watch the video as well. It's pretty crazy.

Prince Klassen is the man.

Prince Klassen is one of my favorite DJs from Texas, and I recently learned he's also quite a good producer too! Klassen started Djing when he was 14! Daaaamn! That isnt even fair. When I was 14, I was still playing with action figures. I feel so inferior. Originally from San Antonio, he now lives in Austin where he holds down a weekly and a monthly. I would describe most of Klassen's edits as funky goodness. He's chopped up everybody from Chromeo to Aretha Franklin, but it all seems to be held together quite well by a fresh disco funk beat. Today we're offering you my FIVE FAVORITE Prince Klassen edits. That's one generous dude! He sent me about 12 I think, but I dont want B to have to do the links for 12 different songs. Be sure to check out Prince Klassen's blog that he writes on with the Spank Rock guys, Fully Fitted for some more awesomeness, and enjoy all the edits!

Personal Best

One of my favorite producers, Weird Tapes, has remixed one of my favorite Texas bands Faux Fox! Check out the Weird Tapes blog for more awesome tracks including one called Christmas Break that's perfect for the season. Listen to Personal Best. It's awesome!

Quiet music

Today Im posting something a little different than the pulsing Electro beats that usually grace this page. It was a bone chilling 19 degrees when I woke up this morning, and it doesn't seem to be getting any warmer. Fortunately, we were sent some tunes from a band called Dignan today. They're perfect listening for a cold day when all you want to do is retreat home to stay warm. Dignan is composed of five friends from Mcallen Texas. They are the product of the two original members spending many a long night staying up in a church writing songs together. Their efforts definitely paid off. We're posting two tracks today, but Dignan are currently giving away both of their EP's for free! Check them out at Noisetrade. We never post this sort of stuff, but this was just so good we had to post it. Take a listen yourself, and I think you'll agree.

Automatic Panic vs Dj Cat NYC Obsession Remix!

Im absolutely in love with the remix I got in the mail today from Automatic Panic! Obsession, the 80's hit by Animotion is an awesome track in it's own right, but the things that Automatic Panic and DJ Cat NYC have done to it are sick. My favorite part is the nasty wobble bass throughout the track. The two leave the best parts of the song relatively intact, and build layers of awesomness on top of it. This will definitely be going in my set tonight, and it should go in yours too. Automatic Panic has been consistently killing it lately. Look back at the last post we featured on him, his Bizarre Love Triangle Remix, if you like this song. Both go on my highly recommended list.

Lady Sovereign

Lady Sovereign sent us a new track. I read somewhere once that she doesn't shave her armpits. That's... cool. She's been out of the limelight for a while now. Maybe it's because everyone just talks about her armpits and everyone got grossed out. Well, no more! There are lots of other things that we could talk about. She's also very little and wears side pony tails all the time. Fortunately, I got past all of that long enough to listen to her track and it was pretty good. The video is awesome too! Inspired by the movie The Warriors!

Lady Sovereign's album Jigsaw is set to be released April 6th, 2009. I got You Dancing is the first single.

Rainbow Arabia

So this band Rainbow Arabia is awesome. My friend Sean from Sydney Confirm and Disqo Disco told me about them. His band is awesome too. There isnt too much about Rainbow Arabia on their Myspace. They sound like the creation of an Alien Space Craft that abducted a really musical African Tribe and then dumped them back on Earth with sweet new Alien Keyboards the likes which this planet has never seen or experienced. Tribal Electro! The next big thing! You heard it here first.

Automatic Panic remixes New Order

It's tough to remix a track that everybody recognizes like Bizarre Love Triangle by New Order. DRD's favorite remixer/producer/DJ out of San Antonio Texas, Automatic Panic is the latest DJ to attempt a remix of the track, and he definitely does not disappoint. Panic takes what I would consider to be a pretty laid back dance track and transforms it in to a dance floor banger cooked all the way through. Panic does a good job of keeping just enough of the track in the mix that the song is still very recognizable, all while adding some dirty pulsing synths that will really get the crowd going.

Hot Pink Delorean remixes Hollywood Holt and Victorian English Gentlemans Club

Hot Pink Delorean released two certified banger remixes today! They're both pretty awesome, but I really like the Hollywood Holt remix. I saw that dude at a Vice Party in NYC and a dude in a bear costume showed up. I was there to see Holy Ghost, but unfortunately I missed their set. Hollywood Holt didn't dissapoint though. Hot Pink Delorean takes Caked Up and adds some nasty distorted keyboards to the mix. I dont know who the Victorian English Gentleman's Club is, but their name is too damn long to type more than once, so Im not going to say anything about the second track other than it's pretty good too.

100 %

Treasure Fingers comes through with another awesome remix! This time, it's Chromeo's 100%. Treasure's remix was part of a series sponsored by Vice and Bacardi organized by A-Track. The project involved three Fools Gold artists remixing the Chromeo Track. Look around the web for the other two done by Nacho Lover and Trackademicks.

!!VHS or BETA Deejays turn Disco!!

As of late, I love pretty much anything with a disco beat. Congas, Disco Bells, etc get my attention pretty quickly. Today I ran across this badass disco remix by VHS or Beta DJs! They've taken a song that was already pretty damn disco, and finished the job. You could probably stick this on the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack without it sounding out of place. In this case, that's a good thing. Great job on this track by both the VHS or Beta DJs and Tiger City.

Grab my new mixtape right here! It's filled with a whole lot of stuff that I think fits under the Umbrella of Disco in some way shape or form. It spans three or four decades, but it's all connected in some way. Hopefully I'll be able to start my own night soon and I'd like to play a whole lot of stuff that sounds like this.

Pink Project on Italian Television-1982

Pink Project was an Italo-Disco group famous for doing covers of popular songs. THis is their biggest hit. Alan Parsons Project and Pink Floyd? Awesome. Here's another filming of the same song:

The Glass remixed by Hot Pink Delorean

Greetings Robots! Hot Pink Delorean sent me this awesome remix of Mad at You by The Glass yesterday. It starts off slow and murky, and then a couple minutes in, the beat really takes off. Apparently the group got some negative press for the above photo they created for the song. Ill share the email they sent to the blogosphere with you.
“So we were on the cover of the national Macedonian Newspaper 2 days in a row because of the artwork for the single (we scanned a Macedonian Valium package, and so are changing the art) , we were going to do a round of blogging to publicize this hilarious fact but I guess you guys can reach out to your contacts as is with the REMIX”
So there it is ladies and gentlemen. This is an awesome remix... but dont take my word for it! Take a listen yourself.

Halp!!!

I realize this layout blows copious amounts of ass.... anyone with some decent design skills want to help me out? Also, it would be cool to have a second contributor to this blog so that it gets updated more often...
Now some Babes with Guns. It doesn't get any more gratuitous than this... someone find me babes and monster trucks. That would be cool.

Comeback!

Clearly Ive been slacking in the blog writing department as of... well... since I started writing blogs on blogger. HOWEVER, a lot has changed for me in the last few months. I have started Djing, Ive been going to a lot more parties, and Ive learned tons more about the music industry in general. I'll be posting things up on a regular basis soon, so get excited.
