I was quite lazy in terms of blogging last week, here’s my confession. Also, I was on the road the entire weekend, playing with Aeroplane from Bruxelles, Kitsuné’s very own Jerry Bouthier and Austrian electro heroes A.G.Trio.
To make up for a quite soundless week, here’s a banging track that recalls some sweet memories: Opening up for StereoHeroes last week, witnessing the two French madmen entertaining a hall of sweaty ravers by dropping following track while tempestuously destroying the stage decoration – riot riot riot!
With regular apperances on both my blog and in my DJ sets, Chewy Chocolate Cookies don’t need to be introduced, I think. I’ve been smashing their Major Lazer remix in my sets for months, and now they finally treat us with a new tasty cookie: Their take on Teki Latex’s Dinosaurs With Guns is a massive, pumping DJ weapon to get the party started at peak time. Dropped it yesterday at Pratersauna, Vienna – crowd went mad.
In celebration of the A-Team blockbuster movie that will hit cinemas all over the world on July 26th, MSTRKRFT, Rye Rye, Dan The Automator and Just Blaze have teamed up to put together an explosive remix package based on the legendary A-Team theme.
Having already received airplay on BBC Radio One after only one and a half year after starting producing electronic dance music, ex-guitarist Haydn Hoffman is one of the up and coming electro exports from sunny Southern California. A huge remix of Chromeo’s timeless anthem Fancy Footwork showcases his fresh production skills:
Personally, I’m always a bit sceptical when I receive an M.I.A. remix, for several reasons: One, I have an estimated twelve thousand remixes of Paper Planes in my iTunes library, two, most of these are just cheap attempts to climb the Hype Machine charts, and three, I like M.I.A.’s music as it is, so it takes a hell of a producer to occupy the little space left for improvement. Nevertheless, this remix by LA-based producer Clockwork has fully convinced me to both post it up here and drop it in my own sets. A pumping vocal intro, a harmonic piano break and an insane build-up followed by a mental breakdown – just the way we all love it.
Attention, the following piece of music may cause serious flashbacks or bring up blocked out childhood memories – but be warned: the melancholy does not even last one minute, being levelled to the ground by electronic battle weapons such as sidechain, distortion and high-pass filters. What starts out as an innocent remix of a rock classic gets out of control soon and turns out to be a massive killer track – hell yeah.
On Monday mornings/afternoons/evenings, depending on where you’re located, we all need something pleasant to look forward to, I think. Personally, I’m not only looking forward to getting better soon (Aspirine, Parkemed, Klacid – welcome back, my dearest friends) but especially to giving Etienne de Crecy’s latest Binary EP a listen later today, after watching the teaser video over and over again. Also:
Hey, my name’s Jonny, I produce/DJ in the group know as Real Talk, we are from Toronto, ON Canada. Over the past weekend the G20 was held here in the heart of the downtown core of our city against all our rights, and our prime minister Stephen Harper spent 1.2 billion dollars of our tax money on it. Me along with alot of my friend went to peacefully protest this because we are completely against it. I was arrested, beaten, and thrown into a detainment facility that had the capacity of 15 – and 80 of us were forced instead, strip searched and beaten again just for walking the streets in my city that I paid for. Me and my producing/DJ partner Mark remixed a song with an actual clip from people protesting. It would mean the world to me if you could blog it.
How do real party promoters spend their time when they’re taking a break from throwing the hottest parties in town? They’re either putting together mixtapes that make the earth shake at 130bpm, or remixing Austria’s currently most demanded hip-hop act – or both simultaneously.
