Oh fo sho

There have been many songs over the past year that have rocked my ballz off so I have alot of catching up to do. But one more thing real quick

Renegade



Renegade hails from Sweden and is dropping some hot shit. Drawing from Peacefire, Danger, Kavinsky and a bit of Justice, this band was clearly something I would get down on.

Having dropped several tracks I can honestly say I love them all.

Renegade - Threshold (personal favorite... wait for the build up around 3 minutes)
Renegade - Pursuit
Renegade - Convict

Get to their myspace and show them some love for the love of God. Hope they make it to the US sometime soon.

Been gone to long

Welly welly well

This blog has remained dormant for too long and I have been listening to alot of music so I felt like it was time to post again. Lots of good stuff going around, lots of artists I have re-fallen in love with, and hopefully alot of good stuff in the upcoming year.


Sidechains



These guys are bringing the heat from Barcelona. I am constantly amazed by how dead on they are with the new house sound. Their original songs would make Mr. Bangalter proud. And their remixes have got a great early 90s flair with an 80s synth all mixed with a newer electroclash banging that makes for a keeper.

This most recent track is KILLLLLER. A remix of Gathania's song Blame it on You.

Gathania - Blame it on you (Sidechains)

Go to Gathania and Sidechains myspace's to show them love.

wanah nah nah nana ...... BURNIN DOWN THE HOUSE!

There are few things sweeter than House music. Simple and repetitive, with driving beats. The whole banger scene has stemmed from house. It is important to remember true house music and what it sounds like. I've got a few of my favorite house jams for everyone's enjoyment.


The Phantoms Revenge




The Phantoms Revenge is a band that has been blogged about recently. Doing some very classic house sounds, it was refreshing to hear. The song I Can't Lose is straightforward house at its finest. Definitely something I enjoyed.

The Phantoms Revenge - I Can't Lose

Make sure to go to their page and give em support

Stardust

A side project, of the great majestic and magnificent Mr. Bangalter, Stardust created what i will modestly say is one of the best house songs ever. It simplicity makes it perfect. Its beat is infectious and has a vocal track that you just want to sing with. This is a song for a drive on a sunny day.



Enjoy

IP Jones

After my thrilling summer job I am looking forward to returning to school. This will mean more relaxing, more smiles and more time to write and post music.


I've got a few good things to throw out your way though.


DVAS REMIX!!

Everyone knows I am a big fan of DVAS. These guys come from our northern neighbor Canada and are producing straight dance/club hits. All of there songs have the steady beat that make me wanna dance for 6 hours non-stop.

I recently got a hold of a remix of their song Ambient Room. The remix is done by SymbolOne who is responsible for making some awesome 80's keytar tracks as well as some killer remixes. This DVAS remix falls in the latter category and is excellent.

DVAS - Ambient Room (SymbolOne Remix)

Make sure to visit both of their myspaces and give them some love.



p e a c e FIRE




p e a c e FIRE comes from Kobe Japan and is doing some very different electronic music. Some of his songs sound like a Banger mixed with an 80's ambient feel. The other is maximum trance horn but not trance music. Definitely something I have listened to and enjoyed though. Give support and a listen.

p e a c e FIRE - Baghdad Rainbow

Make sure to give p e a c e FIRE some support!


Enjoy, will try to write again soon.

I wanna see a mini-van.... covered in DICKS

Rarely, and I mean rarely am I ahead of the curb on music. I mean, i know what good and whats popping etc. Im hip and i am jiggy. But I mean, rarely am I the first to find a band to blow into the stratosphere with praise and joy.


But The Party Tigers will be that band.



The Party Tigers



Hailing from Eugene, Oregon (the electro capital of the US), The Party Tigers blend power rock with synth into a head-banging dance party. They are a bunch of young guys working hard and producing great stuff.

Go to their myspace where you can download all of their tracks. The track that caught me was Running to the Party. At first I was like "Beverly Hills Cop?" followed by, "NOW THATS A TASTY LICK". Smiles and rocking out followed.

The Party Tigers - Running to the Party (Stop Reading, LISTEN!)



Enjoy!

80's covers!!

The only thing better than 80's music, is modernly awesome electro bands doing covers of excellent 80's songs.




Buffetlibre is doing a massive project getting some of the biggest names in electro/indie-blog zone and producing phenominal covers for an all out blow out mix. Some of the artists to name just a few include: Sidechains, Grum, Anoorak, Russ Chimes, Trash Yourself to name just a few. The cd ranges in style and is pretty creative. Go to Buffetlibre's site to download the whole album for free!

I mean its free first off. Secondly you know like 87.5% of the songs being covered. Grand Master Flash, Madonna, Duran Duran, Depeche Mode, The Talking Heads, A-Ha, and The Police are just some. You will not regret it.


I've chosen my favorite to post. Hopefully everyone knows how good Sidechains is, if you dont see my previous post to here me rant about its greatness. Well for this album they remixed Get Into the Groove by Madonna. beat gridding up the ass.



Madonna - Get Into The Groove (Sidechains Remix)

Shit, its getting harder and harder to post regularly.


Where to start


Redial



So do you like Kavinsky? Do you like tasty keytar synth shredding with sick dark tones and beats which just amplifies the speed shredding and dark theatrical nature of the song!?!? Did i mention Kavinsky?

The first Redial song I heard, I literally had to pause it after 1:15 seconds to be able to handle the rest of the song. As an avid fan of the dark fast style (.....Kavinsky) this sincerely was just what i needed. A nice change of pace from the 70's italo disco / 80's Casio super pop that I have been enjoying.

Redial works the keys like none other. 1985 blew me out of my chair. Starscream made me have very lucid hallucinations of deep space.

Redial - 1985 (MUST LISTEN)
Redial - Starscream

Go to beatport and buy his album! At the very least go to his website and check out his other song!

Kurtech




Kurtech is a remixing fiend. He is very young and outrageously talented. His remix of aerodynamic is beat-grid crazy and beyond excellent. His Danger 11h30 remix makes the song better than it was before.

Danger - 11h30 (Kurtech Remix)
Daft Punk - Aerodynamic (Kurtech Remix)

Outrageously good. Give this kid some lovin.
