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.

Hostage is from Scotland

Been very much into my disco house and bass induced electro recently. Some fab remixes and stonking choons working their way into my cd wallet, so i'm gonna share my love for bouncy beats with those of you who won't be out on the town tonight.

Had it a while back but a good example of some disco house mixed with ze bass (originally called 'I Get High')

Hostage - Dub My Disco

Shinichi Osawa isn't from Scotland, but I've always been rather tickled by his productions. Here is a very Fake Blood - Mars sounding track called - EEAA

One more for the speakers in your life; M.A.N.D.Y & Booka Shade - Donut (Boy 8-bit remix) Listen for the immense drop on 3.58, it's worth the wait.

Don't joke

Well done to L-While for booking the Joker at the next Dubstep City night in Poo's (a sweat pit of a club usually only screeching out cheese/indie/metal/crossfaded pop arse crap).

Joker's Myspace has enough choonage to keep your ears ringing for a week or two so click the link to enjoy some nice grimey beats.

I'll be honest and say i've ever been to a Dubstep City night (sorry Leon), as I'm either working or washing my feet/face/hair. But Joker does kinda do it for me Dubstep wise so it does tempt me a little bit.

Here's a Hype Machine hotty for you though - MGMT - Kids (Bukez Finezt Dubstep Bootleg)

Keep those teeth clean kids.

Something good from the 80's?!

Even though I am old, I don't remember the original Frankie Goes To Hollywood track - Power of Love, from the 80's, but apparently it is/was a big deal.

I'm also a sucker for lovely house music with a vocal and a melodic beat...... "tosser". I hear you shout, as that is what I would also say, but this remix which could be old like me (I do not know) is goooood. I recently found it while surfing and was pleasurably surprised and actually very much enjoy it. The Billie Jean tribute/steal is obvious and the vocal stays true to the original so it's mildly successful as a track. Well done Players Please.

Players Please - Feels Like Fire (Club Mix)

Go Go Dubstep + Hip Hop

So I was listening to Drake - Forever (Nero remix) (trust me you want to download this) and at last I thought, someone has realised that the wonky beats and bass that we always associate with Dubstep can go so screamingly well with some rap shiz. There are so many highly requested average hip hop/rnb tracks around the 140 bpm dub mark that could have some wonky bass beats shoved up there arse for proper dancefloor action... maybe i'll try this myself (the remixing that is). The Dubstep I am so naively into, usually involves some vocals. A hot lady i.e. Ellie Goulding (+ Jakwob) would be a good example. The deep Dubstep really doesn't do it for me, I love deep house, dirty electro and the like, and can dance like a retard to it for ages, but Dubstep of this sort is just soo slow! I don't know much about Dubstep if i'm honest, but I do take time to find the bouncy stuff (usually remixes done by accomplished dub artists) that always sound good on the dancefloor. So I challenge those reading this (it may only be me!) to listen to this dub track and not nod your head, tap your foot or get up and fully wonk about - Turboweed enjoy

Jaws

Gotta love the end of the third year, I spent most of yesterday watching ER and playing scrabble on farcebook and then worked till 10am to finish a 6k essay. So another post today and another one of those new ladies on the block... its that wonderfully styled VV Brown. Here is some remixical music history of her for you "Leave (Drumsound And Simonbassline Vocal)" but her new one out on June the 8th (available from all good music stores) and entitled 'Shark in the water' has some scorching remixes from "Blame", "Crazy P" and "Zombie Disco" Little bit of everything there people, some DnB, some chilled beats and some crazy shiz from Zombie Disco - turn that one up loud. Best get back to my snakebite... sorry... uni work.
