Truckers Delight

I heard this wicked remix froma Alex Gopher on Flairs´ "Truckers Delight" on a radio show, so I so I went to listen to it again on youtube. There, I found what I think is to be the official video clip of the original song. Although the original song already dates back from last year, the remix and this clip were only released recently. Besides appreciating the animation work bringing back the old 8-bit video game graphics I grew up on, I think it´s really funny clip.

Whats the capital of Thailand? BANGKOK!!

Heres Boris Dlugosh's latest that I suspect is gonna get a lot of plays =) Its called "Bangkok" and its out on Erol Alkan's Phantasy record label. Sehr gut Ja!!

A-trak

So lets do some homework on A-trak ahead of the party on Decemebr 3rd

(via Wikipedia)
Born in Montreal 1982, Alain Macklovitch (aka A-trak) was the first DJ to win all three major DJ competition titles (DMC, ITF and Vestax), as well as being the first DJ to win five World Championships. He´s also the youngest ever winner of the DMC World DJ Championship having won at the age of 15!
He´s the younger brother of David Macklovitch from Chromeo, and co-founder of record label Fools Gold.
Kanye West recruited him as his personal tour DJ.

Recently he´s worked with Armand van Helden under the name Duck Sauce. Heres what they have to say:

With stuff as good as this "You´re Nasty" the Duck Sauce is more than approved!

Heres a link to a recent set of his at, the one and only, I Love Techno 2009, and you might wanna watch out for his mad scratch skills, specially the way he treats Daft Punk right at the end ;)

For more listening you can also get his work on FabricLive45

PartyNight

Party people, you might wanna make a date on your calendar:

When: Thursday 3rd December

Where: Lux, Lisbon

Who/Why: Discotexas present Boys Noize and A-Trak

Correct me if I´m wrong, but I think it´s A-trak´s first time at Lux, while Boys Noize has become quite a regular. Last time it went something like this:

It should be insane! Hope I can be there :)

PS: Here´s a link to Boys Noize set for BBC Radio 1´s Essential Mix from 10th October 2009.

A true gem!

Absolutely loving this track! I´ve never heard of Marek Hemmann before but this song got me very curious. A little research tells us he´s a german dude into minimal house and techno. Who better but the man himself to describe his sound:
"Marek Hemmann sound; a sound with a minimum on technique but rather a very wide diversity of noise and tonal sensibility. The result is a substantially reduced electronic dance music which having a solid house foundation orbits its original state. Deep bass meets voice fragments, shakers, and percussion carry the rhythm; a funky minimal techno with plenty of space for other musical elements. Always on the search for the perfect groove and catchy melodies which fit snug and comfy in the ear." (via his Myspace)

This "Gemini" comes pretty close to the perfect groove for me, and if you´re convinced too you might wanna take a look at his debut album "In Between"

Yeah Yeah Yeahs

The Yeah Yeah Yeahs are another cool band. These 2 remixes are awesome and a guaranteed success on the dancefloor. "Heads will roll" remixed by A-trak is quite recent and made me remember Erol Alkans remix of "Zero" which is a bit older.

Sweet and simple

This is taken from Feadz´ latest EP "People Numbers Money Business" out on the infamous Ed Banger Records and is entitled "Bright Side". Maybe not a groundbreaking eye-opener, but its a very nicely executed song reminding us of better times and optimistic attitudes in these difficult times.

Superb

I have great admiration for this man -> Lindstrom. Always makes really good music and this one is a current favourite. Being known to work alot with Prins Thomas, this time he´s teamed up with singer Christabelle (aka Solale) for the LP Real life is no cool out in January 2010. Sounds promising!

THE remix

After the clip and the track, here´s 'The remix' by Para One

Lets Go !

Hey! I´ve been a bit busy lately so haven´t been able to post as much as i would like to. But always having the headphones on, every now-and-then a cool song comes along and i think: "damn! i gotta share this one with the blog". They´ve been quite a few lately so i´m not gonna simply "dump" 10 links at once. I´ll try post one (or 2) a day :)

here´s a big one lately, with techno-man Len Faki´s remix doing the damage
