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.

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.
