Black Friday: Music To Shop To


First up we have the product of some hot Brazil on Brazil action. Brazilian producers, Database, have a new baile funk version of their track Miami that originally hit the blogs back in September. The original Miami featured a sample of Bonde Do Role’s hit Miami Beach. The vocals are still present, albeit chopped up and accompanied with bouncy samba drumming. The baile funk remix sounds so “below the equator” those of you suffering through the coldest winter (had to get a Kanye reference somewhere in my blog) may thaw out a little.

English producers Punks Jump Up are possibly my favorite artists who don’t release enough new material. They released their spectacular single, Dance To Our Disco, on Kitsune way back in March of 2007 and since then they’ve been rocking DJ shows and stringing along their fans with awesome remix after awesome remix. As if they could feel the anticipation of their fans reaching an apex, they’ve decided to spend the months of December and January in studio working on new material. Until their new stuff hits the blogs you must continue to be strung along with remixes. Here is their remix of Tronik Youth’s We Are.

And finally, I have an assortment of housey tracks I’m listening to today. The first track by College is more of the future 80s dance music we’ve come to know and love from any artist associated with Valerie. The Moulinex remix of Fantasy Park is included on Secret Diary, the new album from College. You can purchase Secret Diary here. Good Life, released in 1988 by Inner City, is an artifact when measured in blog years and the new remix from Matty C, which hit the Blogosphere two days ago, is at least three weeks old. The Matty C remix is part of the new Quarter Water EP, a collaboration between him and DJ Ayres. The EP is full of like minded house remixes from the two producers. Pick it up here. True Pseudo’s remix of Mt.SimsThe Bitten Bite Back is a remix to behold. I’ve never heard of either of these artists before, but after one listen to this remix I want more. Six minutes of distortion, driving bass, and awesome synths, True Pseudo throws together multiple dance music elements and creates a track which dares you not to dance.
