Musik Is Us

DJ Mehdi

2010-08-24T15:16:00.003+01:00

When you're good, you're good.
He's VERY good.

HOUSE Music!

2010-08-18T16:12:00.002+01:00

Nice Song :)
Always good to know 'classical' house music still runs strong.

Killer Tune!!

2010-08-06T18:03:00.003+01:00

Really enjoy this clip as I was/am a big fan of the Fresh Prince =D

Sounds for the Summer

2010-08-06T16:43:00.005+01:00

Could you ask for a better matchup than: Vampire Weekend & Basement Jaxx !?

..I thought so.

This one starts off slow but then gets quite fun :)

"Like" =P

Baby (Clock Opera Remix 192) by SUPMAG

Recent favourite with some cool lyrics ;) To appreciate this remix even more you should here the original.

"Hold on, and hold tight!"

2010-07-24T01:52:00.004+01:00

Can't get enough of these dudes: Holy Ghost!

I got hooked on this new release: Static on the wire

"..I hear you're voice in fraagments darling.."

But for them, and my personal favourite, it all started with a killer beat on: Hold on

"..Hold ooon, and hold tight!"

Oh! and they can remix too. Besides this one, there's also ---> :)

So basically they're awesome!

"There's nothing else, there's nothing else."

2010-07-15T17:52:00.004+01:00

I can't get this tune out of my head, ...but I don't want to either.

The Chemical Brothers - Swoon - Dave Dresden Re-Edit by Davedresden

Aeroplane with Blood on their hands again ;)

2010-07-11T14:58:00.005+01:00

Very sad news though is that this duo have announced they're splitting up. Only one of them will continue to pilot the 'Aeroplane'. In September their first, and last I guess, full length album We Can't Fly will be out.

It's too hot in Lisbon...

2010-07-09T13:44:00.003+01:00

... Let's go to Paris!

Man and Unable (MAU)

2010-07-03T22:33:00.003+01:00

MAU is a Portuguese band which is producing some very interesting tunes, that I've recently rediscovered. After their initial hit "Prick (I am)" (hilarious clip)

they continue to succeed in producing great music. This next one, "Toboggan" is without a doubt one of my current favourites!

No Walls, Just Music

2010-06-22T12:33:00.001+01:00

I just read this article about the Bloody Beetroots and the Death Crew 77. The author of the article is obviously biased and immersed in the Beetroots sound, but nonetheless, I find it a nice piece of reading.

No Walls, Just Music by Ronan Francis McDonnel

Tiësto

2010-06-22T10:56:00.001+01:00

I know I know, he's quite controversial about his music style and dj performances now, but back in the day, boy was he good!

Faithless have recently released the second single of "The Dance" to be released on July 19th called "Tweak Your Nipple", and Tiësto followed with this remix which I think is quite good and very unexpected, but you be the judge.

Digital 3

2010-05-24T22:40:00.001+01:00

This time, I mixed with a digital mixer connected to the computer and enjoyed some of Traktor's cool efects :)

You can find the set here, and this is the tracklist:

The Chemical Brothers - Escape Velocity
Anthony Rother - Disco Light
Booka Shade - Bad Love (Kaiserdisco Remix)
Les Petits Pilous - Goog

Booka Shade - Buffer Ruffer
Boys Noize - Jeffer (Para One Remix)
Midnight Juggernauts - Nine Lives
Birdy Nam Nam - The Parachute Ending
Les Petits Pilous - Bielle
Deadmau5 - Not Exactly

Journey Of The Dragons

2010-05-20T14:48:00.002+01:00

I've been hooked up on this sound for some weeks now and it strikes me every time. Galaxy 2 Galaxy, a live electronic and jazz music collective featuring members of Underground Resistance, released this in 1993!

Domino

2010-04-22T10:42:00.003+01:00

They're quite established in the electro scene for now, and certainly need no introduction whatsoever. However, I find both this music and video heart striking! I'm talking about The Bloody Beetroots Death Crew 77 and their "Domino".

Oh, and by the way!

Etienne de Crecy LIVE!

2010-04-22T00:29:00.004+01:00

After Daft Punk brought us the pyramid, fellow frenchman Etienne de Crecy brings us the cube. If you visit this blog you're interested in music; and if you're interested in engineering/technology you'll appreciate this concept even more.

Not worth wasting my time and yours trying to explain it, so here it is.

Eat your heart out at 3:18 and 3:45!!

Track: Etienne de Crecy - Fast Track

Just when you thought you've seen everything...

2010-04-17T15:16:00.003+01:00

..POGO! He's a 21 year old music producer from Perth Australia who's making music entirely from sounds in movies. Simply genius.

Digital 1

2010-04-09T22:26:00.001+01:00

Radiohead - Idioteque
Moderat - Rusty Nails
Gui Boratto - Gate 7
Vitalic - Chicken Lady

2010-04-04T04:05:00.004+01:00

Hello!
Nothing much to say here. A band, Friendly Fires, who I like (ALOT!), remixed by Holy Ghost, from probably the best label around, DFA! EnJoY.

Danger

2010-02-26T14:49:00.003Z

I've recently discovered Danger, a French DJ whose music is heavily influenced by 80s synth pop music, video games and soundtracks. In fact, I've been so addicted to his songs that I decided to make this post - my first. His sound is similar in some ways to that of the Valerie collective and some other new French electro artists - some of which are not actually French :) - but I feel Danger is a bit darker and more atmosferic. Enjoy.

The video is one of the submissions to a competition he organized, where participants are supposed to match random videos with his songs.

Mission Accomplished

2010-01-24T18:57:00.003Z

Finally managed to get this up! Its not new, but I could't find this anywhere else on the net so ended signing up to SoundCloud.

Hope you enjoy this track as much as I do. It´s Zombie Nation´s remix of The Presets' "This boys in love"

The Presets - This Boy's In Love (Zombie Nation Remix) by lb

Deja Vu

2010-01-18T02:03:00.004Z

This clip reminds me so much of Miami Horror's "Sometimes" brought to us by Cpt. Skarr himself.

Its the video for "Luv Deluxe" from Cinnamon Chasers directed by Saman Keshavarz. Although the song is really cool, the clips' concept seems to overpower it, and the song basically ends up like a great soundtrack for this 5min trip.

Bring the Noise!

2009-12-29T16:28:00.005Z

This was Mixhells amazing finale at SoulwaXmas Antwerp 2009. Performing Switch´s "A bit patchy" on percussion were: Igor Cavalera (Mixhell), steve (soulwax), steph (soulwax), Bert (Goose) and Matt (Das Pop.)

BTW, Mixhell= Igor Cavalera + Laima Leyton (Igors wife)

Beats in Space

2009-12-21T00:24:00.008Z

My good friend Louis (aka lb) recommended me some time ago a weekly radio show in New York called Beats in Space. I've come to really enjoy it and nowadays whenever a new podcast is released I'm thrilled. And this week is no exception! Featured guest is the well known Juan Atkins that at the age of 47 keeps showing us why he and his boys (Derrick May and Kevin Saunderson - the Belleville Three) made techno back in Detroit.

"Beats In Space is a radio show mixed live by Tim Sweeney and guests in New York City on WNYU 89.1 FM every Tuesday night from 10:30pm to 1:00am. The show began in the fall of 1999 and has not missed a week since then."

Beats in Space

It's freazing outside!

2009-12-14T17:58:00.004Z

I don't know who Todd Terje (of real name Terje Olsen) is, but everytime I play this he brings the summer back!

Magic Disco

2009-12-12T11:49:00.006Z

Phillipa "Pip" Brown (born in 1979) better known by her stage name Ladyhawke is a New Zealand singer-songwriter. She was formerly a part of the Wellington band Two Lane Blacktop named for the 1970s road movie of the same name. (via Wikipedia)

But more than that, Ladyhawke also begins to be known around for her great participation in other projects as well as some remixers after her songs. And this one is no exception. It just puts me out of orbit in an astrodisco mood!

Logical Awesome

2009-12-09T22:25:00.003Z

Since music is not only about the sound (?), here's something different...

Truckers Delight

2009-11-29T16:35:00.006Z

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!!

2009-11-25T18:40:00.003Z

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

2009-11-25T03:22:00.008Z

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

2009-11-17T23:43:00.005Z

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!

2009-11-10T00:22:00.003Z

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

2009-11-08T22:39:00.003Z

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

2009-11-06T16:17:00.008Z

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

2009-11-05T16:05:00.003Z

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

2009-11-05T02:42:00.002Z

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

Lets Go !

2009-11-04T00:28:00.002Z

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

Because We Are Your Friends

2009-10-26T17:05:00.002Z

Awesome video and sound!

And the lyrics, oh the lyrics...

October Mix

2009-10-15T21:37:00.003+01:00

It's been a while since I didn't spin anything at my wheels of steel so I decided to put together a small mix with some of the tracks I like the most that have been around our sweet blog :)

The mix isn't perfect (it's been a while), and near the end the mix goes mono due to cable problems, but it's audible and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did mixing it!

Get it here.

Tracklist:
Discodeine - Invert (Parce que Edit)
Bag Raiders - Turbo Love (Spruce Lee Remix)
MTO - Bring It On Now (Hatchmatik Remix)
Sjammie the money - Get Paid
Jokers of the Scene - Baggy Bottom Boys
Tim Deluxe - When We Come To It
Alex Gopher - Belmondo (Sharam Jey Remix)
Stupid Bastard - Hype Up
Lionel Richie - All Night Long (Rico Tubbs Remix)

(if you like it, this could start to be a small montly tradition highlighting the best tunes presented since there are so many dj's here with us ;)

Silver Columns

2009-10-14T01:29:00.003+01:00

The only thing I know for sure is that we are talking about a band named Silver Columns and Joe Goddard from Hot Chip is on the controls for this remix .

Miami Horror

2009-10-14T01:19:00.003+01:00

Irresistible electro-fueled indie-pop !

As if a track wasn't enough , offered with the mp3 is a day-dreamy music video sure to enrich the listening experience .

New single from Miami Horror's upcoming debut album .

Guess who's back

2009-10-14T00:46:00.005+01:00

It's been a while since I last posted here , but I had a bizzy month , got my old life back and days are running by without me even knowing it .
But let's go on to better things , MUSIC !
To start off in some great style here's a Mix by the italian monster Riva Starr !

He seems to have burst onto the scene fully formed , and injected a shot of adrenalin directly into our ear canals .

Luring us toward the goods like a veteran gypsy stealing your wallet , this spicy concoction of Balkan beats rubbing elbows with the best elements of tech house weaves an intoxicating spell to say the least .
This is booty shaking dance floor crack that you’ll find yourself begging , stealing and borrowing to get your next fix of .

2x2x2

2009-10-13T21:01:00.004+01:00

2 Great Bands x 2 Great Songs x 2 Great Remixes

A-Side: Gossip - you´ve surely heard "Standing in the way of control" or at least Soulwax´s remix if you´ve been too any Soulwax or 2manydjs concert in the last 2 or 3 years. That´s already old news, and the new single "Heavy Cross" isn´t that new anymore but in my humble opinion its supa-dupa fantastic! just simply executed to perfection, and I will go on further to say that just about any remix you may heart of it (there are quite a few already!!) is good too just because the original is flawless.

"..And the remixes go to..."

Fred Falke - possibly one of the best remixers walking the earth!

BURNS - been making quite some waves lately, and very good ones might I add. this remix is very original and i think displays all the talent this dudes got!

B-Side: Miike Snow - the relatively new and upcoming swedes having made a BIG impact with their debut album that goes by the same name. The first 2 singles "Animal" and "Burial" have launched them onto the mainstage and rightly so with "Animal" getting remixes from the likes of Fake Blood and Crookers, and Dj Mehdi putting his signature on Burial! If you haven´t yet heard them, which hole have been hiding in? Well the 3rd single "Black & Blue" is equally great. Once again, you can´t go wrong remixing five star originals.

"..And the remixes go to..."

Savage Skulls - these fellow swedes made a cool thumping dancefloor version. works for me =)

Tiga - No need for introduction for this man and his unique Turboesque touch on this one can be told from a mile! Those cuts and beeps and squeaks are quite trademark

PS: And now you know why some DJs play back-to-back same songs with different remixes. its pretty neat!

Planisphere

2009-10-07T15:16:00.004+01:00

Needing no introduction whatsoever, here's a track from one of my all time favourite bands I didn't know about until just now. A 17 minutes and 30 seconds long Justice rock style track!

Justice - Planisphere

You can also check it at their space.

PNAU & Ladyhawke

2009-10-01T18:10:00.006+01:00

Hey! After JPs' suggestion (more like begging), I finally decided to give my contribute to this amazing blog! I didn't see these names in the list you have here so here it goes...

Here are two names that need no introduction and who represent the much appreciated new wave of nu disco/indie rock from Down Under... Ladyhawke has recently been in Portugal at Sudoeste, and she really is outstanding on stage! I was surprised by the amount of energy that she put into her act because her latest cd is rather calm (but brilliant nonetheless). As for Pnau, well... judge for yourselves while you watch this video of their best song, in my opinion...

For more, check www.myspace.com/ladyhawkerock and http://www.myspace.com/pnau !!

Also, if you have nothing better to do, check this out: http://www.pnaupnau.com/ !!

Cheers!

Tonight!

2009-10-01T12:13:00.006+01:00

Another power of the French music scene, Alex Gopher, along with known stars Etienne de Crécy and both members of the band Air, started off with a pop band named "Orange". Today he holds great tracks combining elements of funk, house, and electronica, as well as his own label Solid.

As a sample here is the work of Sharam Jey over his Belmondo:
Alex Gopher - Belmondo (Sharam Jey Remix)

And as a bonus, Gopher will be playing tonight at the local club Lux, joining the local portuguese guys from D.I.S.C.O TEXAS and their already famous Titan Thursdays. So maybe tomorrow I can tell you about Mr. Gopher's performance as a Dj :)

Welcome post

2009-09-27T19:53:00.002+01:00

Hey,

since this is my first post here - thanks for the opportunity to publish my musical sarcasm beyond the walls of facebook - I thought I should drop a track that it is kind of underground but is one of my favorites.

It's from a duo that used to work in the radiophonic workshop at BBC and among other things they are responsable for Dr. Who's theme. Also, I must remind you that the genius behind it is Delia Derbyshire... yes... a woman doing electronica in the 70's. This track is quite psychedelic - you have been warned.

Trivia - This track was featured twice in bugged out!'s mixcds. Once by Erol and the other by Simian.

King Of Snake

2009-09-27T19:52:00.006+01:00

Remembering the great English duo Underworld who was recently in the Creamfields festival this summer in my hometown - Vilamoura, Portugal, here is King Of Snake!

Addicted to this old techno track, I just love its synth power and the subtle piano melody..

When We Come To It

2009-09-25T16:33:00.010+01:00

Tim Liken aka Tim Deluxe is a London based DJ and producer. His tracks contemplate a wide range of styles and sounds and one of his biggest hits is the well known track "It Just Won't Do".

Recently out on Skint Records is a new EP with two tracks entitled "When We Come To It" and "Storm In a Teacup" where Deluxe explores the acid and dark sides of house music. Personally I'm already a fan of this one below.. Enjoy :)

Slyde's new single coming out very soon on Hotcakes ! Block Parties !

Discodeine

2009-09-19T16:23:00.008+01:00

Discodeine, representing the acclaimed label Dirty, are Benjamin Morando (aka Pentile) and Pilooski. Oh.. and yes, they´re french! No surprise there :p Pilooski has already established himself a very respectfull name on the scene and he seems to have quite a Midas touch turning everything he touches into pure gold. This dynamic duo Discodeine is no exception and definitely get a Pure Quality stamp!

Enough talking and lets let the music speak for itself. OH! and if you find yourself immediately surrendered to their sound don´t panic, they tend to have that effect on people.

Discodeine - Joystick

My personal favourite. Pure genius combining various synth rhythims, tunes and melodies to utter perfection creating a song that just gets better and better and can´t help but to grow on you! You can listen to this one all day long... at least i can :p

Discodeine - Invert (parce que edit)

Great for sipping down some mojitos on the weekend

Discodeine - Tom Select

Discodeine - Homocompatible

Sounds like an epic battle between good and evil starting of sooo dark but slowly hearing the light at the end of the tunnel. Certainly very different

As usual, they´ve also done some remixing such as Metronomy´s Heartbreaker and portuguese duo Photonz' Trembler.

Pilooski and Dirty Soundsystem were at Lux in Lisbon just last week =(

Incident

2009-09-18T20:13:00.007+01:00

Joris Voorn is a native-born Dutch DJ, music producer and remixer from Schiedam concentrating in Deep House and Techno sounds since 1997. He has just released housy "Dusty House Room 2" available at beatport.

However, I leave here a track from the time when Voorn was making those slamming techno tracks and "Incident" was(is) one of my favourites!

Shock !

2009-09-16T15:09:00.005+01:00

Dusty Kid

2009-09-15T00:30:00.006+01:00

Paolo Alberto Lodde aka Dusty Kid is an Italian young techno producer/dj. Despite being quite new in the scene his tracks and remixes have already made a stand about techno music. Richie Hawtin (Plastikman) himself pointed Dusty Kid as one of the new hotshots in techno music detroit style.

The album "A Raver's Diary" released in the 20th of April is a good proof of that. A mixture of different types of tracks always having techno music as its basis, and often pushing it to the limit.

Below I leave you with a track called "America" taken from the album. Not the best sample of the album style as a whole, but in my opinion a hell of a trip! Enjoy!

Dusty Kid - America

La Roux

2009-09-11T17:10:00.006+01:00

Her voice is absolutely fantastic .
Her music is great . It's uplifting ...sometimes even magic !
Hands down for La Roux , this redhead (Rouge>La Rouge>La Roux) is really something , which for the moment and for the last months makes her the number one lady in the scene .

This is the fourth single ( the third to be taken from the debut album « Quicksand » ) . Which by the way is highly recommended .

The Field

2009-09-10T15:22:00.007+01:00

Axel Wilner, better known as The Field, is a techno artist based in Stockholm, Sweden. His music is often filled with big tracks leading the audiance to a state of techno trance! I like to call it hypnotic techno music. And I'm also addicted to it!

The Field has already two albums, "From Here We Go To Sublime" from 2007 and "Yesterday And Today" released this year.

I leave you my dear readers with one of my favourites from each album:

The Field - Over The Ice (From Here We Go To Sublime)

Driving to work yesterday (late again) I turned on the radio and stumbled upon what was to be the peak of my day. What better way to rush through traffic than to the sound of this epic song!? Which reminded me of how (damn!) good the Chemical Brothers are. So good, that in a conversation I had a while ago with some friends, one of them said that if they could be any music artist, they would choose the Chemical Brothers. At the time I was surprised, but after yesterday afternoon not anymore :)

So now I ask the same question to you: If you could be any music artist, who would you be?

Would you be a Band or a DJ? Black or White? Human or Robot? Religious or Fictious?

Come on, don´t be shy, lets hear it!

PS: And if you´re still feeling (hint) the Chemical Brothers groove, check this out ;)

2009-09-07T17:04:00.007+01:00

Kyle Watson has been involved in music his whole life , attending piano lessons for 8 years and taking music as a subject while he was at school .
He has been brought up with music running through his blood .

The immense interest he has in the production of house began a few years back when he got his hands on an early version of 'Dance eJay'. He played around with the program for 3 or 4 years , but yearned to have the power to produce his own music from scratch .
In 2006 he moved onto Reason , still producing short tunes just for fun . From there he taught himself everything he knows through continuous practice and trial and error .
As time went by and his producing continued , he developed his musical style into funky-electro and fidget house .
Trust me when I say this guy is set for big things ...

Bloody roots with to little 'beet'

2009-09-04T16:40:00.006+01:00

The Havoc-causing club dominators The Bloody Beetroots .
Now what should I say about their new album ?
« Romborama » ....after listening to almost every track in it... found it a fuckin' drama !
Really don't know if there is much to say besides that I was expecting more , much more , and so it turned to be quite a dissapointment .
It's not as danceable as I think it should be , though there are a few exceptions , and the overall work with the tracks in this album is a bit of a let down , though some may like it , this is my opinion .

« Talkin' In My Sleep » is one of the tracks that stands out .

« Bring It On Now » is the new single from french electro/hip-hop producer and graphic artist MtO ( here remixed by Hatchmatik ).
According to him , the trigger was pulled when he discovered Wu-Tang Clan on MTV at the age of 11 and decided he wanted to make music .
Since then he has produced beats for underground french hip-hop acts and produced his own fusion of sounds .

Never heard of $jammie the Money or his band Nobody Beats The Drum before , but after a listen to his « Get Paid » EP he's surely a guy to keep an eye on .
