Quick post with some variated mixtapes! Medfunc made a special mixtape for the Heavy Thrills podcast, another nice blog by a Belgian colleague. The Surpeems made a mixtape for the summer, summer is almost over but if you don’t have it, it’s still worth listening. Viktor Bodrovski, is still a young guy trying to get his name out here, but he’s one of the few who still swings vinyl around at partys, nice mix with some alltime classics!
Yesterday 2 Many Dj’s closed the mainstage at the Pukkelpop festival. It was the 25th birthday of the festival and it was completely sold out! This edition was packed with huge names and terrain was of course packed with people from all over the world. But there was also some drama involved, the first day the sound technician, who also was the father of the lead singer of the band Black Rebel Motorcycle Club died after a hart failure. The second day something even more shocking happened, the lead singer of the British pop-electronic band “Ou Est Le Swimming Pool” committed suicide after his gig. But the show must go on and the festival went on as planned. Bit of a strange edition I think …. even though I can’t really say, because I wasn’t their myself …
If you understand a word or two Dutch, check out all the interviews and lots of live material of the last 3 days right here on the Studio Brussel website, not sure if many livesets or so will follow, but here’s the one from 2 Many Dj’s to begin with. (quick edit: apparently is rather crap … if I find any better I’ll update! <3)
Our posts frequency isn’t very high these weeks, I know, sorry about that! But during the summer we are all taking things a bit slower and are busy with a lot of other stuff of course (being the festivals etc!). I’m sure we’ll get back on speed from next month or so. In the meanwhile I’m going to try to post some more frequent stuff on our Facebook wall, so be sure to fan up!
It’s also been a while since we posted something from AC Slater even though this awesome producer was in our 2009 favorite producers selection! We got for you his remix for Cooler couleur from the Crookers (ft. Yelle) and a mixtape from a few days ago. His approach to the remix is way different from what we got from Junkie XL’s one, bit darker and rougher. Quick fact about Yelle, she’s currently working on a new album with producers: GrandMarnier, Tepr, and Siriusmo (especially the last one is interesting!)

Lektroluv yet again signed up a banging artist: Hey Today! In the past they had releases on the Kitsuné label and recently also on Turbo Recordings. The EP is called “Strange” and will include remixes by Boris Dlugosch, Gomma Records labelhead Munk and Polymorphic & Mould (from Proxy’s label Mako). The original is just plain old pounding electro, Boris Dlugosch makes it that bit more funky and our Russian friends … well you know what to expect from them. Check out the Soundcloud previews and get the latest mixtape of Hey Today! below.
Laundry Day started as a very very small party in a street with only one stage if I’m not mistaking. Nowadays it’s a mass-event with more than 10 stages and 60.000+ visitors. You’ll find music there going from DnB, House, Techno, Electro to Hip-Hop and RnB. This year they have this cool japanese theme and the promoclip with it is absolutely brilliant, check it out on top.
Laundry Day also gives young talents the chance to prove themself. One of these young talents is e-Minded who did a special mixtape for the occasion including tracks and remixes from artists of the Laundry Line-up! You can find the tracklisting on the soundcloud link.
