Deux Helix

I often get a lot of tracks from new producers. Most don't stack up but once in a while you stumble on an Algeronics and Luny P. I have to say hearing Deux Helix's Dimension IX gave me a buzz I haven't yet had from a new artist.  Daft Punk fans will see the influence of the duo on the track which is the highlight of what Deux Helix has done so far. The American duo bring a psychadelic mood over grinding electro beats which have me excited for future offerings. Watch this space.

Booka Shade - JJJ Mix Up 08-11-2008

Wikipedia claims that Booka Shade are German electrohouse duo, well I don't agree with that but they certainly are German and their melodic beats have that German tech touch. I would dscribe their style as an anthemic club banger crossed over with a melancholy melodies dressed in a dark and brooding suit. This set which features alot of acts from their Get Physical label is the perfect come down mix after a big night out, which I think I've said about a lot of mixes on the blog!

Sweat It Out!

Its Monday night in Sydney and as I'm recovering from a big weekend I'm thinking about how crazy the past few months have been. When I started my little blog I just wanted to share all the cool mixes I'd collect out the blog world. But I've been lucky and my little side project has gotten me in touch with lots of cool peeps. None cooler than the guys from Sweat It Out, who are well just in my opinion the finest and coolest dance music label in the world. After some initial side glances and flirting we have consumated our affair and our now joined at the proverbial hip.

In english that means I have been promoting the labels new releases and doing what I can on the marketing end which is like the coolest gig in the world! Anyways that is just an update on why new posts and mixes have been so sparse but I promise it will be fixed starting tomorrow with a Booka Shade set. In the meanwhile check out some of the dope Sweat It Out stuff already out on Beatport.

Cousin Cole - Live at FBI 10-10-2008

I'm back!!! This time with the remix genious known as Cousin Cole. Now this is your Cousin Cole who remixed Soulja Boy and everyone else and got the party started. This is mix showcases another, more Tambourine Dream, side of Cole. Still nice and cruisy none the less.

PS. Sorry about lack of updates. I've got hoTT mixes from Dave Nada, Mr Oizo and Miami Horror coming up very soon! Oh also a post as to why I've been so lazy with the blog lately : )

Kings of Leon

Saw Kings of Leon last night for the fourth (or was that fifth?). The first time was in 02/03 when the boys supported The Strokes. I think I was one of the very few that day who knew the band and heard any of the songs. From that first performance I've loved the boys since and its great to see them filling up the big stadiums. I view their recent album as a natural progression and not as them selling out! Still it was great hearing classics such as Wasted Time, California Waiting and Molly's Chamber again. Only downside was the mainstream/tween crowd who only knew Sex on Fire and no other songs. Who goes to a concert to hear one song??

Pretty much the only KoL remix I've liked is the Kenna and Chad Hugo remix of My Party. Sometimes less is more...

Sorry its only 128!

Martin Solveig - Live at Parklife 2008

Another fun set from last year's Parklife festival, this time from Martin Solveig. I've got admit I am  a massive fan of his C'es La Vie song. Did anyone else think the vocals on the track sound like they come from Michael Jackson? Wouldn't be a bad sound for Wacko Jacko to come back with. Actually Martin drops a Jacko sample near the start of his set...

More LunyP

You will remmber my previous post about LunyP - an up and coming DJ/remixer in the Sydney scene. The last post contained a lot of his Baltimore remixes and some cool mash ups. This time we have a couple of really cool mashps with my fave being Muscles vs Vanilla Ice (yes you heard right) and a miami bass style remix which shows that Luny isn't a one trick pony. Look for more mixes in the near future.  Can anyone say prolific much?
