Stadium Electro

This is one of those songs that belong to my epic 'stadium' play list. I'm guessing the crowd went wild to Erol Alkan playing this track at Oxygen in 2006. Wish I was there. kiD Alexis the best bits of Boys Noize and D.I.M in one. Heaps of minimal sounds made maximal. From what I can gather, Telex is a 70s electronic pop band. They seem kind of cool.

I (and the rest of Sydney) saw Digitalism at the Oxford Art Factory last Thursday and yes, they were amazing. Well, they sounded amazing. Their performance was lacking something that the Presets and Soulwax have. I don't really like comparing artists but if you've seen all three acts you'll know what I mean. We all compare anyway. The crowd was pushing it a bit - the vibe didn't live up to the music. Maybe because it was an earlier show. However, their hold of the crowd at Parklife the following Sunday definitely lived up to everyone’s prior expectations. With heaps of stadium electro. So not all is bad.

Digitalism's 2005 remix of A New Cage by Sono, has that slight rock feel which Digitalism handles so well. The distracted vocals are cool. The song is a bit repetitive but I think we've all learned to live with that. If you haven't heard it, check it out.

So Sunday School are back with another mix - Eat More Disco Biscuits (not stadium electro at all). It's a smooth mix of cool tracks that has been thought out and mixed well - qualities in posted mixes that are sometimes hard to find. The quality of their mix is somewhat similar to their behind-deck performance, which doesn't lack anything. See them at STARFUCKERS. See the tracklist here. You must listen to this one, or at least the hilarious intro.

The Best Of What You May Have Missed

A trip down short term memory lane here as I repost some tracks from way back when (a month or two?) in case they were missed. On display we have an addictive mash-up of Madonna's 'Hung Up' and The Presets' 'Down Down Down' that was released on a limited Modular 3"CD free with t-shirts; another cool mash by The Avalanches of Digitalism and Wham!; a sensational Blamma! Blamma! remix of Maximo Park featuring some violent vocal editing; sterling reworking of a Daft Punk classic by Casino Inc.; and the filthy Justice remix of their own 'Waters of Nazareth'.

The Presets/Madonna - Hung Down

The Avalanches - Ray of Zdarlight

Maximo Park - Our Velocity (Blamma! Blamma! Terminal Velocity Remix)

Daft Punk - Da Funk (Casino Inc. Amazing Disco Remix)

Justice - Waters of Nazareth (Justice Remix)

Boy that certainly was a poorly formatted paragraph.. but after all the apologies in the last post you're not getting shit from me. Now while we're on the topic of not-so-new stuff, how about a mega classic Switch mix that's still swirling around my iTunes regularly. Why oh why won't this come out on vinyl already?

Jacknife Lee - Making Me Money (Switch Remix)

"Something new" I hear you cry? Well, Does It Offend You, Yeah? have done a lovely remix for Muse, which is a refreshing change since I've not been that impressed with most of the attempts made on their songs. Although there's a bit of vocal wankery, the pumping mid-section makes up for it.

And finally, if you're a Sydneysider, Ghettoruckus DJ's will be tearing up Ruby Rabbit on Friday night so make sure you come along and support! Here's a short teaser to wet your whistle.

Party on, dudes!

Boy Meets Girl, Boy Gets Boner..

A new sneak preview of the Bag Raiders' EP due in June care of the Bang Gang sounds pretty hot. Classic BR dominating synths and fun beats make this one to look out for in winter.

Guns 'N' Bombs can't seem to put a foot wrong. Their new steamy electro remix of Homecoming by The Teenagers really makes my crippled ass want to dance.

I noticed this track on Kitsune's Myspace: a fun, bouncy number by Punks Jump Up. Check out the Baseball Furies remix, an upbeat rhythmic joyous tune.

And one more spicy meatball is this new Digitalism track, far dirtier and darker than Pogo. A tad Ed Bangerish. Checkit!

Magnets - Digitalism [alt link]

Fun Tracks!

Fun indeed. If I had a gold star for each time I've listened to these tracks, and I was a retarded kid, I'd be thrilled.

Terminal Velocity - Maximo Park vs. Blamma! Blamma! [alt link]

Ray of Zdarlight - The Avalanches [alt link]

Cookie - The Presets [alt link]

The Avalanches track is a mashed potato of Wham! and Digitalism, yum yum. Maximo Park is diced into spicy delicious french fries by Blamma! Blamma!, and Cookie is a level teaspoon of old skool Presets. Hungry..
