Sia Twittered this yesterday, it's a free track from her new album being released early next year called We Are Born: Sia - You've Changed
This arrived in my mailbox last night after I had done my previous post: Bubblegum Sci Fi This fist-pumping sing along from San Diego based duo Bubblegum Sci Fi comes highly recommended. Fans of Le Castlevania and Designer Drugs dont sleep on this one."
And then of course, it has to be RCRD LBL.....yay: Kid Sister Right Hand Hi (SonicC Remix) Kid Sister finally released her debut LP, Ultraviolet, yesterday—pick it up on iTunes, Amazon, the Music Tee, or whichever fine physical outlet you patronize. As a special bonus beat, we’ve got a super swishy unreleased mix of “Right Hand Hi” from Miami house producer SonicC. Kid Sister - Right Hand Hi (SonicC Remix) Kid Sister Grooms Acid King Of Hell (Guitar Feelings) There’s nothing overtly psychedelic or doomy about Grooms’ “Acid King Of Hell (Guitar Feelings),” but the parenthetical bears some insight, since it’s on their loud-quiet-loud amp exorcisms that this one really gets lifted. Grooms - Acid King Of Hell (Guitar Feelings) Grooms Beach House Norway Beach House timed this one perfectly. “Norway” isn't just made for autumn, it is autumn, ticking along on breath-on-window backing sighs, synths that disintegrate like a bed of fallen leaves and the voice of Victoria Legrand; who inhales oxygen and exhales bitter, bitter, wistful regret. Beach House - Norway Beach House Das Glow Lite Brite (Strip Steve Remix) Our partners at Institubes just put out a remix package for Das Glow’s 2008 single “Lite Brite,” with this bugged liquid-funk flip from Boys Noize pal Strip Steve being the essential get. The full release, also has a version from Qebrus and a b-side called “A Lighter Shade Of Bright.” Das Glow - Lite Brite (Strip Steve Remix) Futurella Blog
Tonight I will probably end up here, a REALLY cool party by End is Live featuring Germanies Schlachthofbronx as well as the phenomenal Playdoe and Twelv & Thesis, so it looks to be another brainbender...woooo Have an awesome weekend people...maybe the rain will stop, clearly a VENGEFUL god is angry with Johannesburg, he is throwing a years worth of rain in but a few short hours....nice...drive safe people, look after yourselves and love one another (prefferably repeatedly)
Introducing Krause from the Netherlands, this is what she has to say: Not only is ‘No Guts, No Glory’ the title of her debut album, it is also the maxim of Krause, alter ego of the Dutch Susanne Clermonts. On her debut album she translates this into steamy disco and pumping electro beats. It is a mix of catchy synth pop and hysterical electro punk, with a sound that makes your trouser legs flutter. The album is produced by the guys behind drum & bass trio Noisia, who are responsible for the consistent, heavy sound of ‘No Guts, No Glory’. for more info go Here
Cool, now here are some cool choons from New Zealand called Pitch Black: bio Pitch Black are award winning multimedia artist Michael Hodgson and Salmonella Dub producer Paddy Free. Having pumped their way through New Zealand’s electronic music scene since their inaugural performance at the annual Gathering New Year's eve festival in 1997, they have spent the last twelve years rousing dance floor punters, generating rave reviews, winning awards and gaining thousands of fans across the world.

And before we get to our daily dose of RCRD LBL, something nice from Kinetika Records, a SNEEK PREVIEW of The Housewives new EP: Housewives - Dirty Dancing
RCRD LBL and their awesomeness: Miike Snow Black & Blue (Savage Skulls Remix) Of all the versions of “Black & Blue,” this one from Savage Skulls is the most concussive . You have to give it a few minutes though—the real mental, entrails-lasering part starts around 2:30. Miike Snow - Black & Blue (Savage Skulls Remix) Au Revoir Simone Another Likely Story (Aeroplane Remix) We were already drawn to the coffeepop sway of Au Revoir Simone’s original, but Aeroplane’s rework does ten better, snapping the songbirds off their chilly branch and blasting south in a stained-glass Maserati. Au Revoir Simone - Another Likely Story (Aeroplane Remix) Au Revoir Simone The Bravery The Spectator The Bravery has kindly gone ahead and dropped yet another track from their upcoming album Stir The Blood. “The Spectator” is lush with angst, strangled melodies and the band’s nuanced strain of dark dance. The Bravery - The Spectator The Bravery MySpaceThe Bravery Web Crystal Fighters I Love London (In Flagranti Vintage Mix) Crystal Fighters are Spanish, Kitsune-signed electro kids with party mantras like parasites. Here’s their new single, “I Love London,” which In Flagranti have sculpted into this particularly huge, chugging mass of arena-disco.

And then, you HAVE to check out this AWESOME blog called Otter-ly Awesome it’s BRILLIANT. My favourite is Emo Otter…..
Last week the phenomenal drummer Jerry Fuchs passed away following an unfortunate accident where he fell down an elevator shaft at his home, truly a sad day indeed:
Juan MacLean will DJ a benefit show in memory and in tribute to friend, band mate and legendary drummer Jerry Fuchs, who passed away in an unfortunate accident in the early hours of November 8. The show will take place November 20 at San Francisco’s Mezzanine (444 Jessie Street). The show will also feature a DJ set with Parallels. A donation will be made to the Fuchs Family.
Jerry was a celebrated drummer, having recorded and toured with The Juan MacLean, Holy Ghost!, Maserati, !!! and Turing Machine. Born December 30, 1974 in Marietta, Georgia, he attended the University of Georgia and moved to New York in 1995, quickly becoming a beloved fixture on the city’s music scene. When not touring, Jerry worked as a graphic designer for publications like Chunklet and Entertainment Weekly. Juan MacLean describes Jerry as “the absolute best at what he did” and a “supportive and loyal friend.”
The Juan MacLean has released a video of the extended version of “Happy House,” featuring some of Jerry’s best work. Shot at the Double Door in Chicago on June 16 of this year, the song is a crowd and critic favorite, having been named one of Pitchfork’s 100 Best Tracks of 2008. At nearly 20 minutes long, the performance is a testament to Jerry’s talent and dedication to his craft.
TJM and DFA also just released "Happy House 2 x 12" with remixes by a wide range of dance music's all-stars: Chateau Flight, Paul Woolford, Will Saul & Mike Monday, and VHS Or Beta. Lazaro Casanova, an up-and-coming artist and DJ from Miami, who turned in the highest-rated remix of the last Juan Maclean single, has been invited back once again.
Some tributes for Jerry: Juan MacLean Jerry Fuchs was one of my best and most loyal friends. In other situations it might seem trite or misguided to mention someone's music career in light of such a tragic death, but the truth is that music was an integral part of our relationship. Jerry was with me from the beginning of The Juan MacLean. The band allowed us to travel the world doing something we loved more than anything, and we constantly reminded ourselves how lucky we were, pushing each other to appreciate the life we were living when things got tough.
It is not hyperbole to say that Jerry was the absolute best at what he did. He was a legendary drummer. Other drummers revered him and fans were astounded by his playing. He was always the best part of any band of his which he was a member. And in light of all that, he was relentlessly humble to the point of self-deprecation. He exuded qualities that are are rare in the circles he travelled. He was disarmingly sincere and valued honesty above all else.I have never played with anyone as great as Jerry. I would be hard pressed to name a more supportive and loyal friend. I hope his family finds some bit of solace in the fact that Jerry touched the lives of so many all across the world, as evidenced by the outpouring of support and condolences come flooding in. Jonathan Galkin - DFA Today was a really bad day, Jerry, and I could have used one of those big sweaty hugs you gave after a show, when you were genuinely excited and surprised to see me. “Galkin, what the fuck are YOU doing here?!”, you would exclaim, as if i didn’t ever attend the live shows from bands on my own label. You were truly one of a kind, and whether you knew it or not, people wanted to be in the same room as you, or near the same room as you, because maybe just maybe, some of that radiant joy and in-the-moment spirit you exuded would rub off on them. You didn’t take it all with you, because there are a lot of people today who are going to feel mighty responsible to carry and spread that joy with them for the rest of the time they have here. And who knows now how long that might be. You were a really good drummer, some might say the best we had, but you were a greater friend. I love you and miss you, Jerry. Brian Long - Yes Know Management Jerry cast an incredible glow on every situation he entered into. It was an honor to work with him. His drumming skills were truly a gift which he used to connect with many people. This is what musicians are put on earth to do. Jerry embodied this to the fullest. He will be missed but remembered with a smile and a laugh.

THEN, I saw this letter online and HAD to post it, it’s hilarious, CLEARLY the guy is peeved with his team!!!
Dear Players of Grimsby Town FC
I am writing with regard to my absolute astonishment and disbelief as to the sheer magnitude of your complete lack of talent and failure to carry out the job for which you are paid to do. I am not aware of any swear word or other derogatory phrase in my current vocabulary which comes close to a description of your ‘performance’ (and I use that term loosely) this afternoon, but let me just say that you have collectively reached a level of inadequacy and ineptitude that neither I nor modern science had previously considered possible.
In fact I recall a time, in my youth, when I decided to call in sick at work and instead spent the entire day in my one bedroom flat wearing nothing but my underpants, eating toast and wánking furiously over second-rate Scandinavian porn. Yet somehow, I still managed to contribute more to my employer in that one Andrex-filled day than you complete bunch of toss-baskets have contributed to this club in your entire time here.
I would genuinely like to know how you pathetic little píssflaps sleep at night, knowing full well that you have taken my money and that of several thousand others and delivered precisely fúck all in return. I run a business myself, and I believe I could take any 4,000 of my customers at random; burn down their houses, impregnate their wives and then dismember their children before systematically sending them back in the post, limb-by-limb, and still ensure a level of customer satisfaction which exceeds that which I have experienced at Blundell Park at any time so far this season.
You are a total disgrace, not only to your profession, not only to the human race, but to nature itself. This may sound like an exaggeration, but believe me when I say that I have passed kidney stones which have brought me a greater level of pleasure and entertainment than watching each of you worthless excuses for professional footballers attempt to play a game you are clearly incapable of playing, week-in, week-out.
I considered, for a second, that I was perhaps being a little too harsh. But then I recalled that I have blindly given you all the benefit of the doubt for too long now. Yes, for too long you have failed to earn the air you’ve been breathing by offering any kind of tangible quality either as footballers or as people in general. As such, I feel it’s only fair that your supply runs out forthwith.
I trust, at this precise moment in time, that Mr Fenty is in his office tapping away on the Easyjet web site booking you all one-way flights to Zurich, complete with an overnight stay with our cheese eating friends at Dignitas. Don’t bother packing your toothbrush – you won’t need it.
In the event that our beloved chairman can’t afford the expense (understandable given that he’s soon going to have to assemble a new squad from scratch), then I am prepared to sell my family (including my unborn child) to a dubious consortium of Middle Eastern businessmen in order to pay for the flights. Christ, I’ll drive you there myself, one-by one, without sleep, if I have to.
Failing that, understanding that most dubious Middle Eastern businessmen are tied-up purchasing Premier League football clubs, I ask you to please take matters into your hands. Use your imagination, guys – strangle yourselves or cover yourself in tinfoil and take a fork to a nearby plug socket, or something. Just put yourselves and us fans out of our collective misery.
So, in summary, you pack of repugnant, sputum-filled, invertebrate bástards; leave this club now and don’t you fúcking dare look back. You’ve consistently demonstrated less passion and desire than can commonly be found within the contents of a sloth’s scrótum, so frankly you can just all fúck off – don’t pass go, don’t collect your wages, don’t ever come back to this town again.
I look forward to you serving me at my local McDonald’s drive-thru in the near future.
Yours sincerely
A very disillusioned Mariner
On the subject of football, check this out!!
COOL, well, it’s been an awful week, so hopefully everything will get better…love is hard
Biscope are a Dubstep duo from South Africa. Their sound is a mix of influences, taking in the modern sonics of wobbly bass music and electronica mashed together with the tried and tested sounds of soul, funk, hip-hop, reggae and classic dance music.
And the usual RCRD LBL goodies: Múm Sing Along (FM Belfast Remix) Icelandic quartet FM Belfast turns Múm’s “Sing Along” into a fuzzy-gutted romp of awestruck vocals and buoyant synths—even if at times those synths sound like a bag of knotted nerves. Múm - Sing Along (FM Belfast Remix) Mum MySpazzMum Web A Place To Bury Strangers In Your Heart (Cereal Spiller Remix) The first single off A Place To Bury Stranger’s sophomore album follows the record’s maxim: to make the “craziest, most f*cked-up recording ever.” This slept-on Cereal Spiller rework of “In Your Heart” somewhat mitigates the original’s nightmarish reverb and gut-wrenching frequencies, favoring a slicker, snythier ode to 1980.

THEN, some more new stuffies from RCRD LBL: The Bravery Slow Poison (Drop The Lime Remix) While NYC glam dancers the Bravery prep a fresh LP, Stop The Blood, they’re letting first single, “Slow Poison,” float around in remixed form thanks to our dude Drop The Lime, who left the bass sabers at home for this one and instead went in with steel drums. We are vibing with it in a rave-with-umbrellas-in-our-drink kinda way.

Yeah, short and sweet!!! Just a footnote, thanks to everyone who came to Kitcheners and Gin on Saturday afternoon and night, it was fun. It's been a strange few weeks...but we march on and we conquer.... Love and Peace to all of you, this world is going madder and madder what with Islamist extremists murdering Christian Missionaries et al...there's hardly a corner of this planet that has any lasting peace anymore....too many people, so many of them angry, some of hose angry people hold sway over millions...making them do their angry and selfish deads whilst they sit back and watch. All of us are just trying to get by, trying to find that one person that they can love and hold and not feel that they have to lose themselves to find someone else...we humans are simple folk, give us enough food and love and nurturing and we are peaceful people, take anyone of those away and thats where you have problems...yeah, I am oversimplifying things, but sometimes you have to simplify things to get to the root of all things, we forget that sometimes. We all have our private struggles and demons to bear, some more than others, but everyones problems are their own and therefore no less importamt than someone elses, cut people some slack, if someone cuts you off in traffic, don't react in anger, maybe they are so full of anxiety that they can't pay their mortgage or someone has died or gone into hospital that they aren't concentrating...we ALL have pressures, let people be and try love one another...there isn't enough of that in this world at the moment. Anyhoo, thats my Hallmark moment over, all I wanted to say was that I treasure all my loved ones, my friends you all have left an indelible mark in my life and for that I am truly greatful, honoured and humbled that you are part of my life, especialy over this past year, it's been a bad one, but it is getting better....thank you all for your support. ALSO, thank you to ALL my readers, I love doing this, it's EXTREME fun....music and randomness are my passion and it's great to have a platform to be able to do this. Anyhoo, off to Bikram Yoga tonight for my first lesson.......OMG, I have been told to expect pain......woooooooo....as I used to be a cage fighter, clearly pain is not that much of an issue with me...but we shall see...

RIGHT, stuff has been piling up again, COOL new stuffies from RCRD LBL, but then you’d expect that, wouldn’t you, and then some awesome stuff from Girlie Action, Don Diablo, The Cloud I’m Under, Rene Lopez, Vokab Company, Shwayze (Alan Wilkis remix) AND Violca of Kinetica Records!!! ADORE AWAY (oh, and some DREADFUL driving):
Lindstrøm & Christabelle Baby Can’t Stop (Aeroplane Remix) This remix for Lindstrøm and Christabelle’s new album, Real Life Is No Cool, contains all Aeroplane’s better tendencies—skybound arpeggios, assured rhythms, the general feeling that we are riding on a magic carpet above the Amalfi coast–and also acoustic guitars. Lindstrøm & Christabelle - Baby Can’t Stop (Aeroplane Remix) Lindstrøm & Christabelle Major Lazer Jump Up (Laza Beam Remix) Been a minute since we’ve had some Major Lazer on the site, so we’ll welcome this new Laza Beam refix like the friend we made in the summer and just ran into in biology class. The Trinidadian producer filled out the Crookers-assisted “Jump Up” with more squelch and rotundness, additions we’ve never been averse to hearing. Major Lazer - Jump Up (Laza Beam Remix) Major Lazer N.A.S.A. Whatchadoin (feat. M.I.A., Santigold & Spank Rock) (Evil Nine Mix) Below, Evil Nine bring new hurt to an old favorite—N.A.S.A.’s “Whatchadoin” featuring Spank Rock, Santigold and M.I.A.—sharpening it into quite the ear-bleeder. N.A.S.A. - Whatchadoin (feat. M.I.A., Santigold & Spank Rock) (Evil Nine Mix) NASA VHS or Beta Feel It When You Know (LA Riots Remix) Looks like VHS or Beta wrestled with their dance demons and came up synth. It’s a fitting progression for a band best-known for the rock side of their hybrid party act. LA Riots’ edit of “Feel It When You Know” is a high-gloss, glammy anthem to blast in the dark. VHS or Beta - Feel It When You Know (LA Riots Remix) Rob Femme et Enfant (feat.

And then THIS arrived in my post, wicked, me likey: Vokab Kompany has burst on the scene after quickly ascending the rank of the west coast market. With relentless drive they have worked to combine high-energy stage performances, 7 piece live indie electro hip-hop (with a violinist to boot), with catchy hooks and a rhythm based harmonic vocal delivery to find themselves emerging from an underground electronic, hip-hop scene, which primarily embraces DJ's and MC's. While they still have an edge and integrity in their writing process/production, their songs have mass appeal. It's a sound that has deep indie roots, with forays into soul, funk and fresh west coast hip-hop laced over electronic beats and all performed LIVE!! Navigating through today's diverse and often fractured music industry with an unending commitment to their fans, Vokab Kompany is releasing "The New Kong" with their management and marketing company The Confluence. The album will be released direct to fans where their engagement and feedback will be woven into future releases. "We are releasing this music independently because our music has an audience and it's all about them. So our voice, sound, and the effort we brought to this project both in the studio and on stage can finally have a chance to resonate within our community of listeners." -VK The New Kong by Vokab Company – Sneaker Drip (JBoogie Remix) The New Kong by Vokab Company – Shine (feat Souleye Solovox Remix) The New Kong by Vokab Company – Peace of My Life (feat Deploi and Karen Mills) Confluence Group Cool URB article of the Vokab Company Kinetika Records sent this PROMO of Violca and it's only available for a limited time, so get it NOW: Violca - Empire (limited time only JUMP at it NOW) PROMO

Well, that's what has been piling up in my inbox since yesterday, thought I'd share it with you, and I just KNEW I couldn't keep that girl in the Toxic Avenger video away from all of you:) SOOOO , a new band to look out for AND endorsed by none other than NICK CAVE is Shilpa Ray and her Happy Hookers you can listen to some of the music there, it's REALLY cool. And while I'm at it, just to remind you of another awesome band in my humble opinion, Bomb The Bass Tim Simenon has been making groundbreaking beats n pieces for 2 decades now, and well, I think he deserves a HUGE mention, so there, HUGE mention mentioned! Go have a gannder through their back catalogue, truly astounding music!!! RIGHT, Halloween up this weekend, my lovely girly and I are dressing up, so that should be fun, last year I was a Ghoul, this year, not sure!!! I AM playing tomorrow night at the FANTASTIC CCHQ for the Cellardoor and then saturday afternoon ay Gin, so yeah, if you aint doing much, pop round and buy me drinks, you know you want to!!! Till next time Peas
Oh What A Night (b.'s bmore edit) was done between shows in the back of a car on the highway between Minneapolis and Chicago. The Imperial March (b.'s bmore edit) was made to open his halloween set last year only because he was dressed as Darth Vader.
Both are great tracks for just about any dj set. bbmore blog

Very cool weekend was had by myself, tempered slightly by a bad result against liverfool, but hey, shit happens and we will STILL win the league and overtake their 18 titles!!!! That will be the highlight of their season as opposed to ours which will be many and victorious!!! Also, fortunately it keeps benitez in a job which is great for us as everyone knows that liverfool won't win anything with benitez in charge! Spent time with family, saw my lovely girlfriend (she is awesome). Spent time with friends, carried on with my cleaning up process of my life, all in all a great weekend (except for that damn result!). OOOOH, I got a new mattress, YAAAAAAAY!!! My fridge comes soon as well, now all I have to do is fix my damn television which blew when those fucks stole the Earth Cable from the sub-station over the road from my house and sent a 500mHz power spike through the entire neighbourhood which blew ALL the transformers in our house including my fucking awesome (and expensive) flat screen television!!! Fucking bastards!!! ALSO, my mixer is fucked, I watched this unbelievable video below and got all inspired to do some turntablist djing again which I havent done for a few years, turned on my fucking mixer and its ALSO blown, so BOTH my mixers are now fucked!!! ANYHOO, my GOOD friend Christopher Keyes (damn fine DJ) is letting me use his old Gemini 626, which is cool, I used to have one of them as well a few years back and they are STILL solid, no frills, just straight forward good mixer! So thanks Christopher:) In the mean time, check out this awesome vid of Dj Nu-Mark of Jurassic 5 (still one of my favourite hip hop crews) doing the Rubberband trick, it's INSANE!!!
Cool peeps, hopefully there will be some more goodies coming your way this week, as I get them, I will post them.....much love and peace to all of you.....thanks for your support, I never take time to thank all of you, so thanks, I am LOVING my blog and I hope you guys do too peas
SOOOO, I've been a bit lazy and preoccupied this past week to do any blogging for y'all, so I thought I'd quickly put some stuff together for you, a new Yeah Yeah Yeah's remix, yaaaaaaaaay and then some interesting stories below, and to the german one, FUCK YOU, you haven't even BEEN to SA, how would you know if they need to wear bullet vests you fucking moron cock!!!
Lissy Trullie Don’t To Do Aside from being another perfectly taut slab of Squeezean pop-rock, “Don’t To Do” is one of the four added bonus tracks on Lissy Trullie’s Self-Taught Learner re-release, out now. Lissy Trullie - Don’t To Do Lissy Trullie MySpazz Yeah Yeah Yeahs Heads Will Roll (A-Trak Remix) (Club Edit) As they did with “Zero,” the Yeahs collected a bunch of versions of “Heads Will Roll,” though for some reason or another A-Trak’s didn’t surface until now. It was worth the wait—as tasteful and restrained a club flip can be—and could probably win an award for most quickly reblogged track of 2009 or something. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Heads Will Roll (A-Trak Remix) (Club Edit) Yeah Yeah Yeah’s WebThe Remix Company Web
Bodega Girls Ain’t That Cold And so, after remixes and un-PC song titles, it was “Ain’t That Cold” that clarified for us that Boston’s Bodega Girls are basically (awesomely) dancefloor scions of the Afghan Whigs, a band doing soul music as smutty warehouse disco. Bodega Girls - Ain’t That Cold Bodega Girls MySpazz The Very Best Julia (feat. Kano) “Julia” is a springy, jocular romp of a track that kind of sounds like what Madness or The Specials might have made if they recorded their first album in 2009. The Very Best - Julia (feat. Kano) The Very Best MySpazz Riva Starr FanfarOne “FanfarOne” was apparently made after a gig in Romania, where Riva had been hanging with “proper Gypsy dudes” and found himself exploring an underground market loaded with weird instruments and old records. Certainly sounds like a plausible back story. Riva Starr - FanfarOne Riva Starr Web
Saw these guys at the Camden Crawl in London in May, fucking fantastic!!! Datarock The Pretender (Holy Ghost Remix Radio Edit) Remixes by Chairlift and CFCF accompany the original Datarock track “The Pretender”—heavy with rock riffs and chants—but it’s this fine Holy Ghost! flip that’s got our arms in the air. Favoring disco-grit and low-throat vocoders, it sounds like what Grandmaster Flash would ghetto-blast on the 5 train in to see Herbie Hancock. Datarock - The Pretender (Holy Ghost Remix Radio Edit) Datarock MySpazzDatarock Web More Music: More Datarock Music
Andrew Weatherall Walk Of Shame During the late eighties and nineties, Andrew Weatherall was something of a bridge between rock bands and the then-climaxing rave scene, working with Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine and others on a string of productions and remixes that were headily epic and impeccably engineered. “Walk Of Shame” is a leaden balearic tune with elements emerging from the expansive ether, it’s classically Weatherall Andrew Weatherall - Walk Of Shame Andrew Weatherall MySpazzAndrew Weatherall Web
Steve Aoki I’m In The House (feat. [[[zuper blahq]]]) (Gigi Barocco Remix) Steve Aoki’s “I’m In The House” is electro-house gone meta. For his remix, Gigi Barocco decided to simply unload a few more air raid synths for complete maximalization. Steve Aoki - I’m In The House (feat. [[[zuper blahq]]]) (Gigi Barocco Remix) SHITLOADS of his remixes etc Steve Aoki Web Drink Up Buttercup Even Think Drink Up Buttercup recorded, mixed, and mastered “Even Think”—which sounds like Wolf Parade doing David Bowie—in twenty-four hours, which maybe isn’t that impressive in the age of pocket-sized Pro Tools rigs but still means these dudes mean business. Drink Up Buttercup - Even Think Drink Up Buttercup
I gave you the MP3 last week, now see the awesome video for Turboweekend’s Trouble Is, it’s nice and dark, which is how I like it, get rowed by a big white furry thing to peeps hanging....:
Some stuff I missed on RCRD LBL from last week, what a dumb fuck: Chromeo I Can't Tell You Why Honestly, there are few bands we deplore more than the Eagles, and while this cover is pretty faithful in terms of arrangement, we can totally vibe with it because it sounds like it's from the future rather than 1979 and involves zero singing drummers. So there, we have now admitted to enjoying an Eagles' song. Chromeo - I Can't Tell You Why Chromeo Web Florence And The Machine You've Got The Love (The xx Remix) To little success, we tried arching our lungs over the cut-up voice of Florence Welch on the hook, and even though met with failure it's still lodged in our brains. The xx resung the rest of the tune for their scissored sorta cover/remix, where xylophone and harp seem like logically urbane instrument choices. Florence and the Machine MySpazz Florence And The Machine - You've Got The Love (The xx Remix)
Fool's Gold Surprise Hotel (Phaseone Remix) Fool's Gold called in Phaseone for a remix, and it pretty much massively works. Their track duly washed and phased into a bleary-eyed, bleary-everything mesh of electronic shyness. Fool's Gold - Surprise Hotel (Phaseone Remix) Fools Gold MySpazz

Gucci Vump Sha! Shtil! (L-Vis 1990 Remix) Another housey nugget from Institubes sub-label Sound Pelligrino, Gucci Vump’s Klezmer-sampling “Sha! Shtil!” gets remixed here by rising British producer L-Vis 1990, coasting for over seven minutes on ebullient, thawing synth waves. Gucci Vump - Sha! Shtil! (L-Vis 1990 Remix) Fever Ray When I Grow Up (Bassnectar Remix) To be fair, this is more of an edit than a remix—the collapsing sounds of reversed hi-hats and kicks spread under the untainted zombie fog of the original Fever Ray - When I Grow Up (Bassnectar Remix) Bassnectar MySpazzBassnectar Web This Danish outfit you could say are the lovechild between the sexy underground rock/pop, and the diverse electronic club scene in their native Copenhagen…well worth having on you radar! The remix comes courtesy of Holtoug, who’s a Copenhagen based rock-producer turned tech-head with a flair for dark atmospheres and deep textures…keep them peeled for the video soon to follow! TURBOWEEKEND - TROUBLE IS (HOLTOUG REMIX) Slick The Misfit Slide (feat. Jadakiss) Slick the Misfit’s got all the usual hip hop cred: he’s from uptown, he’s young and hungry. With its melodic sing-a-long hook, easy slow beat, and Jadakiss injecting his patented drawl on verse two, “Slide” is a bona fide club hit in the making. Slick The Misfit - Slide (feat. Jadakiss) Slick The Misfit MySpazz Headlights I Don’t Mind At All There seem to be watery ghosts of seasons past in the chorus of Headlights’ latest track, “I Don’t Mind At All,” so our feet are light but our minds are weary as we fold into this tune. Headlights - I Don’t Mind At All Headlights MySpazz A new one from Kinetika Records: Hot Pink - Blende Remix The Crystal Method Come Back Clean (feat. Emily Haines) (Kaskade Radio Edit) Metric’s Emily Haines recently collaborated on a track, “Come Back Clean,” that was recently released as a proper single, from The Crystal Method’s new LP Divided By Night. Below is Kaskadeof’s rado edit, because what’s a Wednesday without big room house music to make you hate your cubicle even more. The Crystal Method - Come Back Clean (feat. Emily Haines) (Kaskade Radio Edit) The Crystal Method WebThe Crystal Method MySpazz Manic Street Preachers This Joke Sport Severed (Patrick Wolf’s Love Letter To Richey Remix) This remix of the Manics’ “This Joke Sport Severs” is quite possibly the first wonky-classical track you’ll have heard (on this planet, at least)—single-handedly skewering the myth that all IDM guys are shy, bearded loners. Manic Street Preachers - This Joke Sport Severed (Patrick Wolf’s Love Letter To Richey Remix) Manic Street Preachers MySpazzManic Street Preachers Web

Some Stuffies from RCRD LBL:
Free Energy Something In Common All taught bass tugs and daffy synth squabble, “Something In Common” basically sounds like the Cars as re-imagined by Tom Petty fanboys. Free Energy - Something In Common Free Energy MySpazz Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions Trouble Mazzy Star chanteuse Hope Sandoval and My Bloody Valentine drummer Colm Ó Cíosóig are back as Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions after an 8-year break to deliver a sophomore dose of wandering, disembodied melodies. “Trouble” is the dimly-lit stage in a smoke-stained lounge, where the air is heavy and each note is a blissful narcotic. Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions – Trouble Hope Sandoval MySpazz From the Album: Softly Through the Devil Softly
The Toxic Avenger (a few weeks back I shared the stage with Simon aka Le Toxic Avenger, now there's new music.....YAY) Rush Hour (Ocelot Remix) The French, sometimes-masked producer, The Toxic Avenger, likes to pile on the maximal synth spit and bad guy-bashing programming to a point of critical mass. A new comp for Scion includes five new songs and the requisite cluster of remixes, this one from Ocelot mellowing the rage a bit but still perfect for power moves and the Need For Speed 20 soundtrack. The Toxic Avenger - Rush Hour (Ocelot Remix) The Toxic Avenger MySpazz From the Album: Scion CD Sampler V26 – The Toxic Avenger Junkie XL Cosmic Rave “Cosmic Rave” has to be the most exciting thing OG Dutchman Junkie XL has done in a minute–astral, almost arena-ready disco that’s heavy in the feet but bedazzled in the brain. Junkie XL - Cosmic Rave Junkie XL MySpazzJunkie XL Web
FIRST THINGS FIRST…..this little gem just arrived in my in-box, a mixtape type thingy from Lord of the Dubsteppers….GEORGE LENTON, it’s here and if you are in Bristol (that’s in the UK for any geographically challenged George Bush’s out there)on the 28th October 2009 he’ll be playing at The Lab at a night called: Original Mash
Don Diablo takes on the future classic 'Youth, Speed, Trouble, Cigarettes' by French house legends Cassius. The single will be released on November 5th on Cassius Records with additional remixes by Radioslave, The Subs and Reset!. Don Diablo adds extra funk and freshness to the dark & epic monster that is 'Youth, Speed, Trouble, Cigarettes' and makes you wish summer had only just begun! Also, be on the look out for Don Diablo's forthcoming new single 'Where I belong', which will be supported by a fantastic new video and remix package to boot.
The Feelies - Let’s Go The Feelies Web Metronomy Do the Right Thing (Wild Geese Remix) London remixers Wild Geese retrofit the malleable “Do the Right Thing” with a menu of classic dance-club moves: a sturdy synth-clap beat that’d mix in or out of anything, a bit of cowbell and a stove full of boiling electronics, all rising and falling and hissing out clouds of digital steam. Metronomy - Do the Right Thing (Wild Geese Remix) Metronomy MySpazz School Of Seven Bells Iamundernodisguise (Alternate Version) School Of Seven Bells is set to re-release their Alpinisms LP as a deluxe version, that includes this alternate version of Alpinisms opener “Iamundernodisguise,” “alternate” meaning “more primal drum patterns, less effects haze.” School Of Seven Bells - Iamundernodisguise (Alternate Version) School of Seven Bells Web
RIGHT, thanks peeps, well, I have just begun trawling through the entire series Carnivale and so far so good, excellent in fact!! I also spent the weekend DJing at a Le Club/ Decodance reunion which was cool as I was able to pull out all the older alt classics and obscure gems that still make me happy, it was awesome. We watched Coraline as well as The Watchmen which was cool. I LOVE the styling and animation of Coraline, it's disturbingly creepy in a normal way. AND, Sir Ryan Giggs carried on with his awesome form this season again, getting us back to top of the table.... An AWESOME weekend all in all, there was other even more awesome stuff but thats for me to know and you not to know.................'till next time.......yaaaaaaaaay!!!!!
