On the other hand…
…remixes OF Daft Punk can be sensational. This is one of those. Woah! Daft Punk – Harder Better Faster Stronger (Breaker’s Break Remix) Shout outs to La New Shit and this post. UPDATE THE FIRST: This track makes me feel like I am on acid. Thanks to missingtoof Daft Punk – Around The World (Laromlabs [...]
Commercial Remixes
So remixing has become big business and getting a big name artist to remix your tracks will definitely increase your exposure as an artist and possibly help record sales (if not downloads). There are even commercial remix artists who will do a pretty good version for a fee. I was thinking about this in relation [...]
The ‘Gurge
Regurgitator used to be on high rotation in my Teac single deck/tape deck cd player back in the day. And I too was one of those people who would say that I liked their old stuff better than their new stuff. If you lived in Australia in the mid 90′s you would have a special [...]
The New Presets?
I was actually looking for some new presets material when I saw that Disco Delicious had referred to Goose as “the Belgian Presets”. Will have to wait until they hit Australia for Parklife later this year to judge that for myself. But since we haven’t heard anything from the Presets in forever (though they do [...]
Russ Chimes
Setting up on Saturday night I threw a CD into one of the CDj1000′s while I worked out the levels. It was burned off of my “recently added” folder and I didn’t have time to write out the track listing so when Russ Chimes “Mulsanne” came on I was like “woahhhh! Who is this?”. Turns [...]
I have a confession to make…
The first dance music CD that I bought was “DanceNet Volume 2″. It was actually a pretty good CD and I still occasionally bring it out for a bit of nostalgia and to please the fat, bald dude in the corner who has been asking for some X-Press 2 all night. It also has an [...]
Does It Offend You, Yeah?
I was a bit of a late bloomer on DIOYY. But once I got on that bandwagon around June last year I haven’t stepped off. Thanks to Bigstereo for their sweet post and accompanying link to the extended version of “Let’s Make Out”. Right into it. Does It Offend You, Yeah? – Let’s Make Out [...]
The Acid Jacks Never Lies
Acid Jacks have been on the scene for a while now but have only recently started to get wide spread recognition on the international circuit and in the clubs. Thanks to remixes by MSTRKRFT and features on blogs like Fluokids and Monsieur P the guys are getting some hefty air time. Rumour has it that [...]
Top 5: CSS – Let’s Make Love (And Listen To Death From Above)
I really got into the original mix of this track around the time I started learning how to DJ. I remember having massive issue trying to beat match it with anything because I couldn’t get a heavy bass drum from the start of the track. Then along came the remixes and I felt like I [...]
New Release From Muscles
Australian dance mental Muscles is about to release his first album release following the successful “One Inch Badgepin” 12′, a watershed track from the one man machine. Track lists are not available yet but you can preorder (again, I am loving this but get in there quick!) from www.jbhifionline.com.au. And this time you get a [...]
Teenagers In Tokyo Album and Videoclip
Sydney 5 piece Teenagers In Tokyo (don’t call them titties, apparently they really hate that) have announced that their EP is finished and ready to release to the masses on August 18. It’s been a long time coming since the band started playing gigs in early 2006 both as a band and as DJ rock [...]
Drop them panties
I like to use the word panties more as a cutesy word for pants as opposed to a US english word for female underwear. Either way, when you say “Drop them panties!” it still means the same sort of thing. Ever since Calvin Harris’ massive album “I Invented Disco” came out I have marveled that [...]
Hostage Remixes
Hostage, you remix whores. Remix another one already. First it was the Cold War Kids “Hang Me Out To Dry” and then that rubbish (IMHO) White Stripes “Icky Thump”. It seems like they are on every other mixtape and on every other blog. But now Hostage has actually remixed something playable, not that I would [...]
Video: Kanye West – Stronger w/ Daft Punk
It was a pretty dismal effort in sampling Daft Punk, but Kanye gets away with this one. I find it wicked boring and strange that DP even bothered letting him use their sht and getting their video doubles to appear in this clip. Money is money but wasn’t that Daft Punk remix album a sham [...]
