  buffet libre djs / the requesters
  Mix Tape, Release (5)

  marc from the buffet libre djs hooked us up with a copy of their new mix, verbena selected. basically they got their mates simian mobile disco, bloody beetroots, hostage d.i.m., bag raiders, yelle, alex gopher, midnight juggernauts and others to select some songs for them, and they they made a quite awesome mix out of it. wow, their address book reads like my last.fm page. i guess i will never be that cool. it is quite fun to see who has selected what. here is the tracklist: 1.Pomomofo- Back At The Club (Boy 8-bit Remix) -Selected by Loose Cannons 2.M.I.A. - Boyz (The ...

  soulwax remixes
  Release, Remix (6)

  photo: danielle marsland soulwax was probably the best gig of the year so far, i saw them with new young pony club/riot in belgium/bang gang/others and it was mind expanding to say the least. i have always found their albums a bit lacking, but live it all came together in a fit of genius: driving, dirty synths, judicious use of cowbells and hand claps, strobe lights, white jumpsuits and a neon pink background. but that comment about their albums being a bit lacking (in my opinion) aside, their remixes are incredibly consistent. my trip to london last year culminated at fabric where ...

  bloody beetroots
  Release, Tour (0)

  in what will probably be one of the more epic weekends of 2007, the bloody beetroots are coming to my hometown, melbourne, on the 19th of october (a.k.a. the night before the klaxons finally hit town). aside from hopefully putting together an interview with them closer to that date. i am also dj-ing at the gig, so come down for the party! they have been incredibly busy of late, two remixes for goose, and two incredibly good remixes for timbaland, as well as the significant globetrotting that will eventually bring them to australia. but i thought i'd throw up some of ...

  Noisia
  Website (0)

  i first heard about noisia because my flatmate luke had a record by them in his collection, "gutterpump". apparently his brother said 'it is impossible not to be happy to this song'. and if i'm quoting my flatmate's brother, you know i'm demonstrating a reliable opinion. its a bit more breaks than electro, but it is so damn catchy. noisia have since moved into solidly electro territory. "yellow brick" is one of those songs i downloaded because i recognise the band name, and then when i was listening to it, i had about a million flashbacks to moments of last night. ...

  fuckin track
  Release, Remix (0)

  here is some classic french house that i have been digging lately. its off the first album by da fresh, 2002. i quite like it because it has a cool slow burn sort of vibe. a "dude, just wait for when it drops" kind of tune. the original is nice and sparkly, the horns are pretty infectious. but its the more driving, dirtier cousin in the shape of the remix that i rate. it usually gets a few "yeahhhhh"s or maybe even a "woahhhh" when played out. da fresh - fuckin track da fresh - fuckin track (da fresh remix) -dan [dan is a ...
