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.Sims’ The 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.

Housemeister, Boys Noize, and more Aussie Fellows

I’ve been a fan of Housemeister ever since hearing Inordertodance back at the beginning of the summer. The beat so steady, the synths so hypnotic. The track is a wonderful template for producers to remix. Thankfully blog elder statesman, Boys Noize, has made a new remix. Boys Noize creates a song with greater variation while keeping the steadiness that makes the original so great. Do the right thing and purchase the remix here.

The Bag Raiders remix of By the Time They Reach You, as umeabeat puts it, is few blog years old, but if you’ve never heard it, its new to you right. With the barrage of releases from Bag Raiders and Bang Gang Records in the past month, it only makes sense that the blog community is gathering up as much Bag Raiders as they can. If you’re missing this remix from your Bag Raiders collection, you can pick it up below. I won’t charge you this time.

Make You Mine is the second single off of Miami Horror’s Bravado EP to hit the Blogosphere. If you don’t have their first single Don’t Be On With Her, download it here. NOW! I’m sorry I rose my voice with you, but these tracks are that good. Disco-pop at its finest. If you don’t download Make You Mine, I will find you, and upload it into your iPod during the night. You can pick up the whole EP on their myspace page.

Justice - Two Minutes To Midnight (Live)

I am sure most of you have heard by now that Jus†ice is coming out with a documentary DVD + Live CD on November 24th. I just feel like if there is just one of you who have not seen the previews for it then this post is worth it. It looks like it is going to be one hell of a video.

My New Theme Song

Funny as shit. Video for Ninjasonik track, Tight Pants (The Rap Remix). Thank you for making this song for the rest of the blipsters and I. Everyone else that wears tight pants but are not Black, just insert the ethnic slur that pertains to you and you're good to go.

Demon - Happy Therapy (Lifelike Remix)

This song is amazing. Probably the best track I've downloaded all week. I'm not surprised that I've never seen any Demon tracks floating around in the Blogosphere; Lifelike often remixes songs made by lesser known acts. I guess that is his M.O. (modus operandi not Missouri): He takes tracks by lesser known acts, remixes the shit out of them (scientific terminology), then unleashes the remixed track onto the Blogosphere thereby creating all new fans for said lesser known artist. That was a brilliant hypothesis I just typed. I am off to become a scientist now. Good bye.

Trash Yourself - Forget It

Fellow southerners Trash Yourself just released a new single "Forget It" and are about to go on tour. Check out their myspace page for dates... just try not to get a seizure.

John of Trash Yourself will be here in HTX doing a DJ set DEC 20 at Boondocks.

Cut Copy - Far Away (ddpesh Remix)

ddpesh sent me a remix he did for Cut Copy that has a really good 8-bit/synth sound that I can't get enough of. I am definitely looking forward to squeezing this track in my next set in between Crystal Castles and LAZRtag.

The Hours - See The Light (Calvin Harris Remix)

I don't know who Dan Thompson is or why he sent me this new Calvin Harris remix today but I know I'm grateful. His email told me nothing more than the title of the track and that it was "cool to blog" and "safe". I'm guessing Dan Thompson is my blog angel, plucking tracks from the heavens of the Blogosphere he knows I will love and delivering them straight to my inbox. What a great blog angel, he didn't even ask for a thank you. Well I'm not a blog angel so I expect a thank you after you download this track. It's a Calvin Harris remix so of course it's dope.

Yaya by Ron Rogers = Junior Senior Substitute

Badass Daft Punk picture I found on Tumblr is what happens when the song I post is from 1980 and I can't even find a wikipedia entry on the artist.

 
When Junior Senior broke up in September, I didn’t think I’d ever hear anymore of their sweet indie pop again. I was bummed until I found out Jeppe is still making music. Yall should head over to his myspace to hear Big Boy. It was my favorite track for about three days a month ago. One song can only carry you so far though, that’s why I’m happy I found Yaya by Ron Rogers. Sure it’s not Junior Senior but it might as well be, everything is here. The nonsensical rhymes, heavy use of repetition, Danish accents, background singers, and a spectacular beat makes you wanna dance. Yaya is part of a compilation album titled Mutant Disco Vol. 3: Garage Sale. You can pick it up here.

Munk - Down in L.A. (Shazam Remix)

This song makes me remember when I was in LA. For two and half days. It was the best two and a half days of my life. In L.A., was always sunny and bright. The newscasters complained when the weatherman said the temperature would reach a high of 84 degrees. The beach was less than ten minutes away. People were walking, riding skateboards, and bikes and it wasn’t just the poor people like in Houston. All the girls were beautiful. I always thought a movie was filming right around the corner. It felt like I might get run over at any moment by Britney Spears as I walked along the Third Street Promenade. It was magical.

I wish everyone could experience L.A. for two and half days like me, but I know this is not a possibility for some (I’m a balla). For those of you who can’t afford the glamorous life of L.A., the Shazam remix of Munk’s Down in L.A. is a sufficient replacement. It will make you feel at least 75% as good inside as actually visiting the city for two and half days.

Zombie Nation - Forza (Housemeister Remix)

I was pretty excited when I first heard the snippets of Forza, the new Zombie Nation track, UKW Records sent me last week. I already had a post floating in my mind commenting on the brooding bass and the stellar remixes from Housemeister and Fuckkk Offf. Pretty excited until I listened to the full length, 96kbps tracks UKW sent me for posting. They sounding like someone was playing Forza at peak volume on a ghettoblaster with blown speakers that was placed in a garbage can. Oh it was bad. Luckily, Kazaam over at electrocasts posted 320 kbps versions of the original Forza and the Housemeister remix. I don’t know how the man does it and I don’t wanna know. I don’t have the balls to post two tracks off a three track single so I’m only posting the Housemeister remix. Enjoy.

Cobrastyle Remixes

Whenever The Bloody Beetroots is one of the producers asked to remix an official single for an artist, it’s common blog knowledge that the Bloody Beetroots remix will be the remix featured on everyone’s blog. If I remember correctly from that blogging class I took in ‘07, this event is explained by the BBS Formula: Bloody Beetroots = Blog Hits = Blogger Self Validation. Given the BBS Formula, one can easily see why the new Bloody Beetroots remix of Cobrastyle has been everywhere the last four days. Yes, even here (I need proof of my self worth too). But let’s take time to appreciate two other remixes from the official single by The Touch and Mason. Both producers deliver tense, house-flavored jams I imagine would get played out more than the BBS remix. As always, it’s up to you to decide which one you like best. Purchase the single here.

Millions Now Know Who to Vote For

With election day one day away, SSDT's endorsement for Obama to become the next President of the United States could not have come at a better time. You're welcome for all the free press Mr. Obama. This should definitely secure the small-town, frightened White people vote for Obama. Seriously, they love this site. Because they don't know I'm Black.
