The Bloody Beetroots - Awesome Feat The Cool Kids (Men In Scratch Remix)

Had an AWESOME weekend!!!
PS, on the 2nd January, my blog will be TWO YEARS OLD!!!!!

Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Riton & Primary 1, Crystal Method, UFO's, Dark Matter, Atlantis and a poor Greek player

Hey, its a short post, but there are some cool stories below I thought I'd share, and some new tracks courtesy of RCRD LBL, plus Crystal Method got nominated for a Grammy, coolness personified!!
There's also a Greek football player being pelted with a deluge of carrots, yes....carrots!!!
I suspect that the music is going to be a bit slow untill January again, so I will update as and when stuff gets sent to me.
I played a BLINDER of a set at Cellardoor last night, if you don't have the new Vitalic album yet, it is AWESOME, nice and dark. Flashmob is the name of the album!
I might be at Gin again tomorrow afternoon for the final saturday of the year there, depends on whether they want it or not! If I am there, it will be a special VINYL set!
Cape Town in a few days for a break, I need it so badly, this year has really battered me, thank (insert Deity of choice here) I have such amazing friends and family. My heart is battered and bruised but it still loves, very much, which is a good thing.

Lost city of Atlantis found??
Dark Matter Detected
UFO over the Kremlin



Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros
Kisses Over Babylon
Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros are shaping up to be one wild pack—as if one moment amidst their fire would inspire us to finally run off into the desert with only a bindle on our back and a tambourine in our heart.

Riton & Primary 1
Radiates (Riton Rerub)
You can’t party like “Radiates” wants you to when it’s snowing. It’s a summer thing. But you can stare out at all the cold people and feel incredibly smug that you've got your own window into the sun, Riton and Primary 1 rerubbing you warm.
Riton & Primary 1 - Radiates (Riton Rerub)

The Crystal Method has been nominated for a Grammy for their album check out this video of Come Back Clean:

TRUMPDISCO, Air, The Soft Pack, Don Diablo, I'm Not A Band, Housewives, DV8, Miike Snow, Amanda Blank, Atlas Sound

Soooooo, now we are sprinting headlong towards 2010, I am SOOOOO glad to be seeing the end of 2009, I have been letting the music pile up so here is another monster post for all of you my pretties!! Thanks to everyone for your support. I hope you all have a magnificent break over the festive season whatever your belief system and that, it's a time for family and loved ones. Take care of everyone, I witnessed an ugly scene last night at a pub with an abusive steroid moron abusing his girlfriend and her friend, we helped as much as we could. It was ugly, fortunately it all ended okay, I just hope the girl has the good sense to boot the fucker into touch where he belongs, in the gutter amongst the dregs of society, prefferably being gang raped by small Pygmy illiterates with Barbwire for condoms!
Anyhoo, love has not treated me kindly....lets hope it does soon:

And before we head down to the usual RCRD LBL goodness and juiciness, cometh this way a new remix from the prolific producer Don Diablo:

Miike Snow
Animal (Mark Ronson Remix)
“Animal” always sounded warm weather appropriate, so this revision from Mark Ronson, with its coy organ taps and swelling horns, is taking that idea to its logical end. And what an insanely pleasant, dubby end that is. Don’t sleep on the falsetto riffing towards the end—truly enchanting stuff.
Miike Snow - Animal (Mark Ronson Remix)


Amanda Blank
DJ (Viking Remix)
Having already put his drive-time electro stamp on Amanda Blank’s “Shame On Me,” Virginia knob tweaker Viking returns to the fold for this version of her selector paean, “DJ,” cutting its unbridled club lust with incessant, snaky arpeggios.
Amanda Blank - DJ (Viking Remix)

Air
Do The Joy
While Air have never sounded tied down, “Do The Joy” is an especially weightless odyssey, floating spaceward on Hitchcockian synths and warped radio transmissions. They try tethering it to simple drums and piano, but this one just wants to get gone.
Air - Do The Joy


The Soft Pack
C’Mon
2010 holds the promise of a new, self-titled album from The Soft Pack and to whet your appetite, we’re sharing with you “C’Mon,” the record’s innervating, R.E.M.-ish opener.
The Soft Pack - C’Mon
The Soft Pack MySpandex

Atlas Sound
Shelia
Few solo side-projects are worth their weight in hype, but the obtuse, collage-y songs Deerhunter lynchpin Bradford Cox makes as Atlas Sound certainly are. His second album under the moniker, Logos, crests with this gorgeous strummer about making a deal with a friend to bury one another.
Atlas Sound - Shelia

Cold War Kids, Chew Lips, Lindstrom and Christabelle, Fever Ray, Drake, Passion Pit, Paper Route, Kid Sister, The Bravery, Don Diablo, 720Bass,

OKAY, so it's been an eventful week, I sadly had to say goodbye to my beautiful Dog Shema this week, after 16 years of life she finally passed on, it was very sad but I was with her to the last, sweetest dog you could ever meet and be bitten by, RIP!
I finished the Nick Cave book, The Death of Bunny Monroe which is excellent. ALSO I received a lovely gift out of the blue from someone special (you know who you are). I also received some bad news to do with a family member, I hope the prognosis is good. It's been a mad few months really, FINALLY 2010 is in sight, I for one cannot wait, it's been my worst year ever bar none (only 1 thing this year has actually been amazing). Anyways, without further ado, my musings are coming to an end....here's what you been looking for, adore away bitches:




Cold War Kids
Audience
Long Beach’s Cold War Kids return with this soulful, firm-footed new one, taken from their forthcoming EP, Behave Yourself.
Cold War Kids - Audience
Cold War Kids Web

Drake
Forever (feat. Kanye West, Lil Wayne, And Eminem) (Steve Aoki Remix)
That Drake’s “Forever” is still all over the radio after four months in the wild should prove that it’s more than just a superstar posse cut for the sake of being a superstar posse cut. Good choice, then, for Steve Aoki to leave all four verses unscathed in his purposefully oversized club rinse, which will try to further ubiquitize an already omnipresent song.
Drake - Forever (feat. Kanye West, Lil Wayne, And Eminem) (Steve Aoki Remix)
Steve Aoki Web

Passion Pit
Little Secrets (Jokers Of The Scene Remix)
This fresh edit of Passion Pit’s “Little Secrets” by Jokers Of The Scene has been the arsenal cornerstone of basement DJs for weeks. The Fool’s Gold duo shapes the track’s gleefully wonky pop tune into a bass-laden, 4 AM club track, where the children’s chorus crests into a synapse-blowing crescendo (with lots more cowbell).
Passion Pit - Little Secrets (Jokers Of The Scene Remix)
Jokers of the Scene

Paper Route
Gutter (Nick Catchdubs Remix)
This remix, courtesy of Nick Catchdubs, hones in on Paper Route’s electronic drama but fixes it up for clubland, substituting hysteria for something more dead-eyed and sullen, “Gutter” a drink thrown in the face of every man caught dancing with the wrong girl.
Paper Route - Gutter (Nick Catchdubs Remix)
Paper Route MySpace

Kid Sister
Right Hand Hi (Kicks Like A Mule Remix)
O.G. British rave duo Kicks Like A Mule (aka XL founder Richard Russell and Nick Halkes) offer this loopy Big Beat version of Kid Sister’s “Right Hand Hi.” Mad tambourine!
Kid Sister - Right Hand Hi (Kicks Like A Mule Remix)
Kid Sister MySpace

Fever Ray
Now’s the Only Time I Know (J-Wow Mix)
This booming rain dance comes courtesy of J-Wow of Buraka Som Sistema and transforms Fever Ray’s original occult appeal into a ghetto-tech electro ballad fit for for the stickiest of floors.
Fever Ray - Now’s the Only Time I Know (J-Wow Mix)
Fever Ray MySpandex Fever Ray Web

The Bravery
Slow Poison (Of Montreal Remix)
The Bravery gets a weird and wonderful edit thanks to Of Montreal, who blend industrial noise, trippy handclaps, and needling electropop on this exclusive remix of “Slow Poison.”
The Bravery - Slow Poison (Of Montreal Remix)
The Bravery MySpandex The Bravery Web

Lindstrøm & Christabelle
Baby Can’t Stop (Idjut Boys Remix)
Esteemed London duo Idjut Boys give “Baby Can’t Stop” a very subtle refit, doing little more than dubbing out the vocal and extending the arrangement. Still, it’s worth the price of admission for the horns alone.

Housewives - Dirty Dancing (Jad Cooper Remix)
Coolio, well 720 BASS just sent me this as well, it features an amazing remix from GEORGE LENTON as well as others:
Man Like Me London Town Remixes
After an amazing, rammed to the rafters sell-out show at the Jazz Cafe last week, the band Man Like Me's star is in full ascent!
The rising popularity of MLM's London Town anthem shows no sign of stopping (they had to perform it twice to satisfy the ecstatic crowds).
Here at 720Bass we're proud to be releasing the immense London Town Remix package. Bringing you pure, unadulterated bassline filth...
DOORLY / FOAMO / RACKNRUIN / GEORGE LENTON
The release is spread over both the Future Perfect (Electro House) and Wicky Lindows (Dubstep) labels, and will be available at all good vinyl and digital stockists from December 7th...

Of course, what would any ting of mine be without RCRD LBL:

Crystal Fighters
I Love London (Qoso Remix)
In celebration of the full “I Love London” single release today on Kitsuné, we have a Crystal Fighters exclusive to gift. Qoso—Fool House’s newest tropical child—tweaks the Spanish ravers into a hardcore-esque, spacevoid edit, heavy on the bounce and strobe.
Crystal Fighters - I Love London (Qoso Remix)

Boris
Buzz In (Todd Edwards Remix)
Todd Edwards is something of a regaled figure in dance music. The New Jersey house legend (and one-time Daft Punk collaborator) is playing Flashing Lights in New York this Friday alongside Kingdom and residents Nick Catchdubs, DJ Ayres, and Jubilee. As a bit of a preview, below is a recent remix of his for Scion A/V.
Boris - Buzz In (Todd Edwards Remix)
Boris MySpace

The Count & Sinden
Strange Things (R1 Ryders Funkitek Refix)
The sound of cracking knuckles and banging skulls, this refix of The Count & Sinden’s “Strange Things” aims for funky house but still ends up scaring all the ladies away. Dubstep like this exists in too thick a red mist to be swayed from its personal vendetta against calm, peace, and reason.
The Count & Sinden - Strange Things (R1 Ryders Funkitek Refix)
The Count & Sinden Web

The Futureheads
Struck Dumb
So, The Futureheads got an octave pedal. That’s the lizardy twang you’re hearing. Other than that, not much has changed since last year’s exultant and ass-kicking, This Is Not The World—they still sound like the anointed child of Wire and the Jam.
The Futureheads - Struck Dumb
The Futureheads Web

Ben Rymer
La Trinciarice (Main Mix)
Like seemingly so many other grizzled DJ booth vets, Ben Rymer has never put out a record under his own name. Or rather, hadn’t. The just released vinyl for “La Trinciarice”—which translates to “The Shredder,” but in no way lines up with the softened Italo rays he’s let into this one—finally jettisons the former Fat Truckers and Gucci Soundsystem man into the realm of proper solo artistry.
Ben Rymer - La Trinciarice (Main Mix)

So, I spoke to my father today for the first time in 8 years, it was weird. Lifes too short to hold onto negative shit, we must move beyond and above it or else it all just drags you down and becomes an excuse for your future failures. Break free of the shit and you can achieve what you want to achieve. Well, I will be at Kitcheners on saturday night playing an early Dubstep set and then probably go home, I have a bad chest infection, so I should probably stay at home on my meds!

And then, RCRD LBL:

Best Coast
When I’m With You
Every part of this Best Coast song adds to its effortlessness: the slow open, the major/minor chord changes, the harmonies that blow in for the refrain, the bridge mantra. This is what we wish Weezer records still sounded like, obvious gender issues aside.
Best Coast - When I’m With You
Best Coast MySpazz Best Coast Blog

Fan Death
Reunited (CCENTURIESS Remix)
This killer remix by duo CCENTURIESS whips Fan Death’s “Reunited” into black sky oblivion. Weaving in and out of Dandilion and Marta’s milk-soaked vocals is a roller-derby darkness that devolves into claps and clangs, and finally, a tinny, apocalyptic wheeze that’ll put a stint in your aorta.
