MEHDI, KRS-ONE

Photobucket

fuck i need to get my act together, i haven't posted anything up here for a while. but now that uni exams are over i haven't got any excuses either.

so i'll start with dj mehdi. what can i say, the mans a freak. give lucky boy at night a good listen if you haven't already, that shits amazing.

MP3:DJ Mehdi - Saharian Break

seems like im loving hip hop and rap right now, and a new album from KRS-One is good to hear. KRS-One is widely regarded as one of the best MC's of all time. dudes like 50 cent still rate him as their favourite ever, hes' been around for like 18 albums or some shit, which is pretty phenomenal in the rap world. check this track out, when you play it you actually listen to what he has to say and i love that.

WAR OF THE DIAMONDS

Photobucket

This is a bit of an oldie but it's defiantly a goodie. Also keep a look out for Ajax's new EP, It should be getting released through his label Sweat It Out anytime soon.

MP3:Ajax - War Of The Diamonds

ELECTRIC FEEL (JUSTICE REMIX) FULL VERSION

Photobucket

At the beginning of the month I posted this remix by Justice of Electric Feel. I only had the radio rip at the time, FInally this morning I got my hands on the full version thanks to KidzbyColette which surprisingly is even better and nearly twice the length of the radio rip.

CRYSTAL CASTLES

Photobucket

Vanished is one of my favourite songs on Crystal Castle’s album, when I was listening to it for the first time I thought the vocals sounded very familiar. Funny enough I found out it contains a vocal track sample and melody from Van She’s Sex City.

MP3:Crystal Castles - Vanished



In 2006 Crystal Castles brought out Courtship Dating. Funny enough in 2007 Timbaland produced Ayo Technology for 50 cents album Curtis which sounds ridiculously similar in sound to Courtship Date, Check out the video above to see the similarities.

ONE HALF OF RIOT IN BELGIUM

Photobucket

Beni Single is a very busy guy, He's been doing a bit of his own stuff lately, Remixing and producing his own music. When he's not doing that he's djing and doing production work with his mate Dj Belgium who make up Riot In Belgium and also is in Thee Bang Gang Deejays known as Dj Damage. Anyways his solo work is awesome and apparently there's more on its way.

MP3:Beni - My Love Needs You

MP3:Digitalism - Pogo (Beni's Re-Edit Re-Work Remix)

THE KNIFE MACHINE

Photobucket

"YoYoYoYoYo! Mic check the new knife machine remix of "gimme head" by the radiators. Now we actually have enough tracks on myspace to require a scroll bar on our music player! that's when you know you've made it. Not when you get signed to a major label or play to a sold out festival crowd... It's when you have enough tracks on your myspace to require a scroll bar." - The Knife Machine

MP3:Radiators - Gimme Me Head (The Knife Machine Remix)

The Galvatrons are pretty huge at the moment so i thought i'd also throw in this Knife Machine remix of Donnie's On TV.

BMX BANDITS



The old school video above of the Bmx Bandits film doesn't really have anything to do with the Queensland pop band BMX, Although it's worth having a peak at, it's some pretty funny shit.

Photobucket

BMX kinda remind me of Gameboy / Gamegirl, but are no doubt different and have there own style with vocals you cant help but sing along to. If your from the Gold Coast area and your free on july 6th you should check them out up @ Elsewhere. Van She (Live), Van She Tech, Ajax and Ladyboy with also all be playing on the night.

I SHOULD BE STUDYING

Photobucket

i could use a good pool party, or some summer. but seeing as that won't be happening anytime soon, these tracks will have to suffice. Shazam is a young - i think the kids like 17 - musical wizard type from perth, who makes some nice french style electro house. Breakbot is a french guy who also makes some nice french style (believe it or not) electro house.

MP3:Shazam - Pool Party

MP3:Breakbot - Summer Party

THE DUKE

Photobucket

this is not what you'd usually expect from a duke dumont remix. the best i can describe it is like one of those beyond of the wizards sleeve re-animations that are constructed so perfectly that you sit mesmerized for the whole track. then when its finished you wish you'd never heard it before so you could listen to it again for the first time.

MP3:Mystery Jets - Two Doors Down (Duke Dumont Reconstruction)

and fuck its even more amazing when you hear the original.

speaking of jezza, heres his theme song. and try to get past the title as the lyrics match pretty fucking good also.

MP3:Too Short - Nothing Feels Better

NEW JUSTICE REMIX

Photobucket

I haven't seen a remix from Justice in a while, so it’s good to hear some fresh material. Especially when’s it’s of an MGMT song that I've been listening to none stop lately, so it was pretty random to see that Justice had done a remix of Electric Feel.

MP3:MGMT - Electric Feel (Justice Remix)
