Tuesday T

So after monday, comes tuesday and a suitably mega post.

Mason is Dutch and apart from that 'Exceeder' track he did, I reckon both you and I don't know much about him. This is a new track from him and it features the short but sweet vocal of Sam Sparro and the very welcome inclusion of DMC (Which added to Run, makes a good combo), both people we know about.

They apparently met after a Hyde Park performance of 'Walk this Way', all loved each other saw dollar signs (£$$$,$$$) and came up with this:

Corrected feat DMC and Sam Sparro

Not ground breaking, but harmless enough and also different from the countless Guetta + random R'n'b star shit that David has been making.

This next one is also a pretty average track in my humble opinion and is really only up here because it was produced by Diplo. Enjoy it anyway though yeah?

Snoop Dogg feat. Kid Cudi - That Tree

Couple of dubstep tracks up next, JSaxton first.

1. 'He's not even 18 yet' say the bloggers, well that surely just shows how easy Dubstep is to produce if you have a computer, some money for software and half a brain?!

Given, I cannot produce music as of yet, so throwing my stones from a glass house isn't a good idea but the wonky additions to this track (1.19 onwards) don't, I think, really add to it and I reckon he got a bit too adventurous putting them in. It's a fab remix otherwise though!

Little Boots - Earthquake (JSaxton Remix) by JSaxton

2. Secondly, Jakwob does his wonderfully wonky wobbled best to give a dubstep re-smack to Mr Foggs - Moving Parts. Soothing vocals make way for dubstep vibes here. Nice. Apparently Mr Fogg mastered the guitar and four-track recorder by 12, and by 14 was an expert drummer.

Been sitting on this next track for a while, but it's climb up my iTunes play count list has made me realise how much I like it and how good it is. Miike Snow get an Ibiza summer treatment - Silvia - (Sebastian Ingrosso and Dirty South remix)

C. U. Next Tuesday.

Frozen Lolly Friday

Well it's been a while since I posted.

I'd attribute this to being busy, but I think it's more down to me being lazy, which is poor form.

Today I've seen the sun, hail stones and an ice cream van. Which leads nicely to but has no connection with, this remix of Frozen by Madonna. Can't remember how I came across this but I've always been encapsulated by the feeling I get when listening to the original so this remix does well to better that feeling:

Madonna - Frozen - Jedeye Rework by Jedeye

A couple of extra bonus electro/breaks tracks next, both of the highest quality.

This one was sent via e-mail to me - Soulico feat Rye Rye - Exotic on the Speaker (Yeah! Woho! remix) and is exactly what a friday needs. Check the remixer out here as well.

and finally....

As Denzi and Messy (big love for Messy on wednesday by the way) suggested a while ago. 'I'm in the House' by Steve Aoki was very shit and only liked by posh twits. BUT... this just released, fresh out of the pan, remix by LMFAO - yes yes yes sir! IS rather stonking. Another friday night treat ..... enjoy.....

Steve Aoki - I'm in the House (LMFAO radio remix)

'Beautiful People Do Not Just Happen'

When I saw this remix pop up in front of me, I thought all of my dreams had come true.

Breakage did Dubstep wonders for the Riverside track we all now know, and hate, but secretly love, like Marmite - and he has done it again here.

Massive Attack shouldn't be strangers to any of you and if they are, then fucking shame on you, you young child.

This first track is a new one and really rather lovely, yeah it's not one you can rave out to, but Massive Attack don't really exist for that purpose. Enjoy.

Massive Attack - Paradise Circus

This remix below is a soothing Dubstep take on the track. Keeping the fluid piano and vocal throughout, it doesn't go crazy but it adds a bit of zingy zest to the original.

Massive Attack - Paradise Circus (Breakage's Tight Rope Remix)

One last track is for people that don't know Massive Attack or want to reminisce to an old fav, but it's also a song for someone who has had an incredibly hard time of it lately, to which my heart continually goes out.

Massive Attack - Protection

"The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen." (Elisabeth Kubler-Ross)

Calvin doesn't turn me on

Calvin Harris I do like. Don't get me wrong, he has produced some good shit, but for some unknown reason his latest track 'You used to hold me' isn't doing it for me.

Not sure if it's because I need to listen more, because it sounds similar to other stuff he has done or whether it's just pure manure... I don't know. I'll let you decide, but knowing the charts it'll be huge and have a million remixes.

Speaking of remixes I've found Nero and Laidback Luke's take on the track but they are pretty shish kabob on quality so i'll wait for someone else to find better quality or post those bad boys on here myself soon enough (Nero and Laidback Luke excite me though - so look out for that post).

Some dubstep and dnb I will drop off for you though comes in the Miike Snow variety.

Miike Snow - Black and Blue (Caspa Remix)

Miike Snow - Black and Blue (Netsky Remix)

The Caspa remix is luuuurvly and also pretty old, it's the Netsky one i've only recently found, and it turns me on more than Calvin Harris or a Macdonalds breakfast after a big night out.

Enjoy bitches

House Step and hop of the hip

Celsius, Saturday, very good. Thanks to those folks who visited and to those who enjoyed and stayed till the bitter end for the Dubstep and Hip Hop.

So in tribute to those clubbers, here are a couple of fresh tracks for your listening pleasure.

Apparently Nas and Damian Marley are 'Distant Relatives', so this is also the name of their upcoming album.

'As We Enter' is not only a short track, but it's sweet and tasty.

Now this track is hitting my spot so hard at the moment that I can't tell you how pleased my ears are, that it exists. Deadmau5, one of my big favs in the dance department, has had Faxing Berlin remixed in a bass heavy Dubstep way. Now don't be fooled by the Dubstep tag here, it retains the subtle vocal and the progressive house feel but somehow feels even more peaceful with the accompaniment of the extra bass drops and beats.

Unfortunately the remixer is unknown... but i'll love it none the less.
