Two of each

First up we have a new remix by Clockwork, another typical track with straight-up electro synths clashing together with vocals by Theophilus London. This track will probably work well when the crowd is wanting to hear something more “commercial”.

Next up is a track from Haezer’s remix competition for his newest track “James Bond”. I wasn’t really liking the original version because it didn’t have a decent intro and the rest of the track sounded like it was put together at random. Luckily the guys from Treble & Sonido got a little structure in the track and made a solid remix for the competition.

I would like to end this post with 2 mixtapes, the first one is by Erol Alkan. He recently recorded an exclusive tape for his Japan Tour this year. Expect a varied mixtape with music ranging from techno to disco.

Last but certainly not least, a mixtape by The Oddword. They are one of Belgium’s fastest growing artists, with bookings stretching out to Italy these boys sure have a bright future awaiting them. Listen to their mixtape and judge for yourselves.

Can’t Hide

I think it was like two hours after I posted the Swivel Hips track that I already got an email from these guys! I thought it would be a request to remove the track, but apparently these guys appreciate some kind words and free publicity! Even better, they hooked me up with a new track. “We Can’t Hide” was supposed to be a track for the upcoming EP but it didn’t make the cut and is now serving as promotional track for the EP. As expected some good funky house stuff with some epic disco sampling.

I also got some extras for this post. A new remix from Riva Starr for Mason‘s “Corrected”, most of you know Mason from his massive hit Exceeder, will he do the same thing with this track? Doubt it! This remix is ok, bit boring towards the ending, but it gives me a good reason too mention Riva Starr‘s upcoming release “Splendido” which is being released 24th May, get a small taster right here! Ow yeah, and all you producers out there, there is a remix/edit competition going on for the Mason track, sign up here

I also did a guest post for the Phantasy blog which you can still read here.

Boys Noize & Erol Alkan – Lemonade

One of my favourite EP’s was recently released, 19 March to be exact. Unfortunately I was on holiday during the weekend so I wasn’t able to make this post earlier. This second collaboration with Erol Alkan was becoming one of my obsessions lately, checking how many days left till the release was a daily task. Their first Ep Waves/Death Suite was definitely a great succes, but I’m thinking this one will do better. Avalanche isn’t really my cup of tea but Lemonade makes up for it.

On the second day of christmas …

… more tracks! I could have easily added them to the post below. But this way you guys won’t look over it. And for this post I’ll add some more “comments” to the tracks.

Uffie is finally coming with that long expected album next year. The first track we got from here was “Pop The Glock” which was actually an older track, but it now has his own videoclip and … remixes. This next fresh remix is by Felix Da Housecat. Love his producing skills, but his dj skills are a bit dissapointing (saw him at GrooveCity a good month ago).

Another christmas gift came from Erol Alkan. It’s an unreleased Disco 3000 edit of In Flagranti’s ‘Brash & Vulgar’. Mustapha 3000 is one of Erol Alkan’s aliasses, so I think Disco 3000 is aswell? Down tempo electro track with even a sample of Justice’s Let There Be Light in the second part of it.

Then a “special” track, something I’m curious about on how many of you guys are going to like this one. The original is from Mr Turkenburg, a music teacher. He made the track “In My Spaceship” along with his students. Stephen and David from Soulwax said on the radio that it’s going to be a big hit on Studio Brussels. I don’t know if they were just joking around or not, but In my case I hope it becomes one!

I recently posted a track “Rubix – Baiser Sur La Disco”. A true revival of disco, somewhat like “I Think I Like It” from Fake Blood. Baiser Sur La Disco is definitely one of my favourite tracks from 2009. He asked me if I could fix him up with some Belgian gigs. I had to dissapoint him and tell him that my influences aren’t that big, but all I can say to the organizers is: Check his productions, check his myspace, check this remix!

Ed Banger Xmas gift!

A special gift from the Ed Banger crew for this years christmas. Well more of a gift from Erol Alkan that is, he re-edited the track Momy from Sebastian (A track which was included on his previous EP, Motor). Erol Alkan likes to call the edit a “Simple, Yet Effective Edit”. And that’s exactly what it is, a nice build up which makes it a perfect opener for any set!
