Right, I'm off to Ibiza for a week, report coming up next week.... should I return in one piece.

BYEEEEEEEEEEE!

SSSSHHHH!

A few tunes we're loving at the mo...

1. Joris Voorn's latest offering... and its an abolsute belter!!!

Joris Voorn - The Secret



2. Arman + A-Trak smash it again with prob one of the catchiest hooks in Christendom right now!

Duck Sauce - Barbra Streisand (Manila Killa edit)

Almost Famous

New signings to Deconstruction Diagram Of The Heart make their debut with a synth enufused belter. Although th video isn't much to talk about, this track is an exciting sign of things to come.

Diagram Of The Heart - Dead Famous

DIAGRAM OF THE HEART / DEAD FAMOUS from UFO on Vimeo.

T REX

Lord only knows why we haven't blogged about these guys before, but hey, here they are.

UK based Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, described as "playful electro underpineed by seismic bassline", list a load of totally enormous extinct dinosaurs in their MySpace band members. Of Course.

Behind the mystery and eccentricity though lies some rather massive tunes. A sure fire hit on the festival circuit this summer.

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs - Bournemouth

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs MySpace.

ELECTRIC

Azari and III continue there domination of the disco, this time giving the Aussie outfit Vltage a helpig hand (Nile Delta and Cut Copier Dan Whitford)

Munk, In Flagranti, Illja Rudman and Midnight Jugger Turkish Prison remixes are about to, check em out on Beatport.

Voltage - All Night (Azari & III Remix)

FAKE BLOOD - I THINK I LIKE IT (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

Mamma M.I.A.

A new take on her new single.

Current album is helped out by Rusko on production duties, and when she's not busy killing gingers (joke) or volleying tirades at journos, she's generally creating some quite good tunes.

Not usually one for changing a winning formula, but this remix kinda works in a slightly twisted way...

M.I.A. - XXXO feat. Jay-Z (Rieses Pieces remix)
M.I.A. - XXXO

Magnetic Magic

Dubstep time and arriveth Magnetic Man - Skream, Benga and Artwork creating the genre's super group.


First single from their debut, and it's both A) bloody good and B) very accesible.
A wee clip below, full length track to come..

Magnetic Man - The Cyberman

Magnetic Man - Eclipse

Swedish House Mafia fear Pharell - One

Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP - We No Speak Americano

One of the tracks of the summer....

MONARCHY!!!

THIS TRACK IS BLODDY AWESOME!!

That is all. Oh, remixed by our favourites Holy Ghost.

END.

Na na na naaaa naaaa

Frisky. Just can't get enough of this tune now - Tinnie appears to be able to do wrong at the moment: this is a dead cert #1.

You should also check out SBTRKT's mix of his last single "Pass Out". Rising from the 2-step/future garage scene. Little known about him at the moment, apart from the fact he wears a Jumaji mask and has done a few collabs with Sinden on his new label Grizzly in the form of 'Midnight Marauder' and 'Kind Of Familiar'.

Tinnie Tempah - Pass out (SBTRKT remix)
Sinden & SBTRKT - Midnight Marauder

Showgirls comprises of Lionel Catalan FC & David Blot with a little help from Estelle Chardac & Henning Specht. To top it off, Hypnolove has done a lovely little cosmic mix of the track.

Showgirls - Foolin' Around (Hypnolove Remix)

Devilishly Good

New Chems track gets a rather epic re-edit from Don Diablo. The new album from Ed and Tom is out in a few weeks and we've posted both Ecsape Velocity anf the orginal of this track before, but this mix is worth a mention too.

Don Diablo has done mixes for Public Enemy, Mika, Cassius, Iggy Pop, Newton Faulkner and Laidback Luke and has is soon to be releasing his own album, prob later this year.

FACT*: The Don is the most googled Dutchman of 2008.

The Chemical Brothers - Swoon (Don Diablo Remix)

Dizzee Rascal feat. Chase and Status - Heavy

Dubbing Out

So maybe a bit late on this, but well worth a quick blog mention to Jakwob - truly making dubstep nice and easy to get your ears around.

Discomau5

The latest remixers that I've fallen in love with, Mighty Mouse aka Matthew & Colin, who only began reworking tunes a couple of years ago. Their longstanding friendship and djing/production skills have led to remixes for Robbie Williams, Little Boots and Fenech Soler to name but a few. They're getting a live show going too and will be touring soon, releasing a few tunes and an album on Herve's Cheap Thrills label imminently.

Their mix of Ali Love is prob one of my fav tracks to warm up the floor at the mo, and the Gorillaz one ain't half bad either.

Gorillaz - Superfast Jellyfish (Mighty Mouse Remix)

Ali Love - Love Harder (Mighty Mouse Remix)

Holy Ghost! - Say My Name

And if you likey, try a bit more...

Holy Ghost! - I Will Come Back
LCD Soundsystem - Drunk Girls (Holy Ghost! Remix)

New M.I.A. - Born Free

M.I.A. - Born Free

Too Many good things to put up...

...so here is just a couple...for now...

UNICORN KID

Lloving this first real special slice of 8 bit dubstep from Oli Sabin aka Unicorn Kid. Dream Catcher has been getting much love from the specialist UK radio personalities liek Zane Lowe, Hugh Stephens and Rob Da Bank to name but a few. More tunes on the way but download this IMMEDIATELY. It's rather nice and refreshing.

Unicorn Kid - Dream Catcher by Ministry of Sound

TEMPER TRAP - REMIXED!

Yes yes, we know, nothing new here, but Mr Anglo span it on Saturday when Anglo Franko (us) played out with Olly from Filthy Dukes at the Bleep Test in Reading, where we our residents no less. We had a jolly nice time and this track went down a treat. RAC doing a nice little rework here. Also known as Andre Anjos, you can find more info about him here.

Temper Trap - Sweet Dispoition (RAC Mix)

Tinie Tempah

Spring is defo, erm, springing...

The return of Sidney Samson. A tad different to the last infamous outing, Fil U Up is a suitable all guns blazing club epic, suitable for the upcoming summer and Ibiza season. Not sure it quite has the cross genre appeal as Riverside, but it's nae bad. Ultimately, good to know he isn't a one trick pony.

Sidney Samson - Fill U Up

Sidney Samson MySpace

LCD Sound System - Drunk Girls (Video)

Boys Noize & Erol Alkan - Lemonade (video)

FOALS - THE ORIENT

We LOVE this. That is all.

Oh wait! It's out 3rd May.

END.

2 Killer tracks...

1. Chemical Brothers - Escape Velocity

Absolutely Epic. A lengthy, mighty hard core psychedelic rave. The album "Further" comes out in early June, and will have a video to accompany every track. Wozers.



2. LCD Soundsystem - Drunk Girls

James & Co are back, and sounding more gloriously punky and lively than ever.




LCD Soundsystem - Drunk Girls (via Tastes Like Caramel)

Eggcellent

OK, shit Title to this post but I couldn't help myself. I am a man merely of simple humour and pleasures.

So yesterday avo, upon a wee walk of the Southbank promenade, conversations ensued with a friend about the ultimate chillout/come down/ Sunday morn tunage. And then I remembered I recently discovered these guys...

Doing a little research on Space Ranger shows that this German Trio have had a pretty good innings between them thus far, bringing out remixes for Kool & the Gang, Sugababes, Kurtis Blow. Now though, they're focusing on there own tunes. Please file under Low-Rider Disco House.

A couple of tunes in a particular have been doing the rounds. My personal fave, Herbal Cake and also Phase Fever, which has been on Aeroplane's March Chart Mix.

NOOOOIIIIIIZZZZZZZEEEE

Afternoon all. Good Weekend I trust?

So this appears to be one of corkers coming out of Miami this year. A catchy wee synth riff to it, a fair few DJs have been raving about it, aside from hangin with Diddy in his mansion. Cos thats what you do when you go to Miami innit.


Jan's been knocking about for a while, done a fair few remixes n' that (see his MySpace for the all his particulars) and this track comes on Boys Noize Records latest release Miami Noize comp, along with tracks from D.I.M, Housemseister and Boys Noize too.

Jan Driver - Telly Foam (via Russian Adults)

Twisted on a Wedensday?

Without doubt, Erol Alkan and Boys Noize are on fire. Waves/Death Suite was one of the releases of 2009 and now they kick of 2010 rather nicely.

This 2nd collaboration between the two this time crops up on Phantasy and you can get it now on Beatport. The build up on Avalanche is superb and then comes the twisted nature of Lemondade. Mezin.

The two will also be spinning tunes in Miami this weekend. Not forgetting also, Erol's 7 hour set at Bugged Out in London next Thursday @ Fire in Vauxhall.

Should be nice.

Boys Noize & Erol Alkan - Avalanche (via TajT)
Boys Noize & Erol Alkan - Lemonade (via TajT)

Metric Returneth

It was criminal how the last Metric record didn't get more love, really it was, one of the albums of 2009 by a long, long way.

Anyhow, looks like the band are gonna give it another go in 2010, with a show at Shepherd's Bush Empire in May.

ALSO, they have some news tunes coming. Again, more beautiful slices of pop, the first of which, "Black Sheep", will be used in the new Scott vs Pilgirm film by Edgar Wright.

Check out the new tracks here (via skipster)

And, for old times sake, Monster Hospital (Mstrkrft remix)

So it's nearly the end of the week...

... and for me it's becoming a bit of a grind untill we get to the weekend.

But then the new track from Holy Fuck appeared and all is well again. leaked out over the net a few days ago, it's a taster of things to come from their upcoming album "Chatroulette". Sounds incredibly exciting. Heavily layered synth, a nicely chuggin beat to it. Rather Four Tet like if you will. Its well worth a listen.

Holy Fuck - Latin America (via Real HorrorShow Tunes)

Your Saturday morning lie-in will come a lot quicker after you listen to this. Promise.

Carte Blanche

You've gotta have heard ths by now right? If not, here we are to save the day again ;)

Riton and Dj Mehdi coming together with a crafty little tune. Coming out trhogu Ed banger. Of Course. They'll be on tour too come May. Ah, the joys of spring

Friday night's alright

So we had some fun last night at Fabric with Kill Em All. Your usual mix of indie kids, scenos, chavs and your "I only came out for a few drinks after work, where am I?" All in all though, good bunch of good peeps.

HIghlights have to be Kieran Hebden from Four Tet who put down an amazing mix, even playing the classic Sweet Like Chocolate by none other than Shanx and Bigfoot. And you know, in a funny way, it kinda actually worked! James Holden afterwards rammed Room 2 and we had a little mosh.

Erol smashed it in the main room, Crookers - We Are Animals kicking tings off, but when Hot Chip came on, the people went mad...

Next stop.... http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=195120206929&index=1....check out the link, some good mixes on there..

Crookers feat. Miike Snow - Remedy

We like these Italian rascals (cos' one of us is too innit). The minute you hear this track you'll get drawn in by the amazing bass and percussion - chorus is a catchy as. JOB DONE!
