Faisal – Penelope Dickstop (Breakbot)

Last week (and this week as well actually) I had to focus most of my time on other stuff (work, dj’ing, home, … etc) but I just can’t miss my beloved blog for more than a week I guess! So let’s get posting again and I’ll start with an awesome remix/rework by Faisal. He took the baseline of Penelope Pitstop by Breakbot completely turned it around and added elements from Mr. Oizo’s Cut Dick and for the good listeners you can even recognize a Michael Jackson sample!

Up and coming!

Okay, my last post for the day focusses on some younger and new talent trying to get there stuff out there.
First up are two youngsters who go by the name “Tex Taiwan” they started somewhere 2008 and are finally coming with their very first album. Their music style falls in line with bands as Crystal Castles and Kap Bambino. Damaged Hearts is the name of this album that will be released digitaly the 21st June, but first there will be two single releases: ‘Labyrinth’ plus YLHCSD remix released on the 10th May & ‘Haphazard’ plus Aerotronic remix out on the 31st May.

Faisal sent me a remix for “Soulwax – E Talking”. As a big, big (seriously big) fan of Soulwax I was very curious and I must say, for an unknown Belgian guy, he did a rather good job on this one. The whole remix just feels right, great build ups, good sampling (I hear a sample coming from Justice, correct me if I’m wrong), I like!

Last but not least, a band that has been featured on many blogs the last few weeks. Jamaica (that’s how they are called) almost literaly came out of nowhere. Their Debut album is coming soon and is produced by Xavier de Rosnay and Daft Punk sound Engineer Peter Franco! Check out these two awesome remixes and if you haven’t already, watch this official videoclip.

Nightcall

Almost three years after Testarossa Autodrive, Kavinsky finally returns with Nightcall EP. Knowing that the title track is co-produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo (1/2 Daft Punk), has Lovefoxxx from CSS and Kavinsky himself on vocals and is mixed by SebastiAn, you just know expectations are incredibly high. Remixes come from Dustin N’Guyen (word on the street says this is Xavier De Rosnay from Justice) and Jackson. The EP will see its release on March 22nd.

Overnight

About a week ago George Lenton gave out some free tracks to the blogosphere, including “San Angel”. It’s like a beautiful laid back soundscape. Something nice to listen to when you’re just chillin’ in your room or whatever you like doin… The second one brings more energy and shows some nice variety in his production.

Scottish DJ/Producer Hudson Mohawke has been making some very inspiring productions, combining hip hop with electro and pop music. In this one he used a sample of a guitar riff by the Klaxons, if I’m not mistaking. Last summer he played at Pukkelpop Festival in Belgium. Unfortunately I couldn’t make it there, but if someone did see his show, please leave a comment how you liked it.

Here’s a fresh remix by Breakbot, who’s now signed to Ed Banger Records. This French producer started 2010 with a couple of remixes. This one I liked the most. Expect his new EP out on Ed Banger Records on February 14 with a remix by Siriusmo.

Jan Turkenburg – In My Spaceship (Breakbot Remix)

The last one is a dubstep tune by XI. The track itself is quite basic and minimal, but that bass is just HEAVY!
