Five For Friday

I received the new Soda & Suds track, Zapatista, at 2am this morning (Houston time). Included with this banging track was this oh so sweet message that states "We send it to you guys exclusive, cuz we like your blog, hope you guys like it". Now, I'm not a psychic, but I don't think I'm the only person that received this email. I think the fact that they used the phrase "you guys" at least 5 times throughout the email tipped me off. Exclusive or not, my feelings are not hurt, the track is dope. As they also state in the email, "Its kind of boys noize shit". Thanks for the track guys and you can tell me the truth next time, I'm a big boy.

I've discovered another fresh act out of Australia. He goes by the moniker Magic Happens and he makes some pretty cool electrofunk. His track Cold Start drove me crazy trying to think of what sample he used (you gotta figure it out yourself). Check out that track and his Kid Cudi remix below.

By now French DJ, producer, and graphic artist, Danger, needs no introduction or extra hyping to get people to listen and download his tracks, so I won't even try. What I will say is that his new track, 00h00, features the Chicago rapper Vyle. Don't fear however, 00h00 is not Bounce, it does not contain cliched lyrics about partying or girls going "south" (NORE really killed that track, and not in a good way). Danger keeps his signature sound while incorporating Vyle's vocals and produces another dope track.

And finally, I have a remix by the man that will keep the party going tonight at Boondocks for Don't Fight It. All your favorite electro, indie, remixes will be played by Dave Wrangler and the bartenders will $2 dollar Lone Stars all night. Choose your own attraction.

Oh!

I have to admit, i'm really not that cluey when it comes to electro house from more than a year an a half ago. While I have been listening to 'house music' for over two years, the fact remains that most of those years were spent listening to those annual compilations that are brought out by The Ministry of Sound; not exactly ahead of the game by any stretch. The point i'm getting at is that I'm only just realising who the big artists are. Boys Noize is one artist who i've been trying to get up to date with. With Danger's highly anticipated remix of "Oh!" making its way to my library, I thought it a must to finally become aquainted with the original, especially since both the Danger and A-Trak remixes have been absolutely superb. The original is an absolute tune, and is a strongly encouraged listen. However, I know what you readers are like; you want the newest tracks, and you want them now! So without further ado - the Danger remix.

Boys Noize - Ne.Oh!.Pen (Danger Remix)

DatA Overload

Just wanted to throw some DatA remixes your way. Coming from Paris (so cliche right?), this kid is to electro tracks what mayonnaise is to sandwiches. He seriously makes every song taste better, he even made the Danger track, 11h30, more delicious and it was already scrumptious (not gay, just an extended metaphor). Check the rest of the tracks out for a bitchin good time.
