Golden Cage

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

Last post of the week and it’s a good one. First heard this dark and funkadelic Golden Bug jam on Aeroplane’s February Chart Mix. I’ve also been playing The Radio Dept.’s new album to death and this is another highlight that I think I’m allowed to post. Lastly, this Redial remix reminds me of a GRUM remix and that can only be a good thing.

Listen ♫: Golden Bug – Flamingo♥♥
Listen ♫: The Radio Dept. – David♥♥♥
Listen ♫: Barretso – We Wont Stop (Redial Remix)

Thanks to Too Many Sebastians for a couple of these.

PRIMARY 1

Friday, February 19th, 2010

PRIMARY 1 has caught my ear before. Been listening to his Demos that are free to download and some are good, some are great and some are just OK. But I guess that’s why they’re demos…but I can see the potential, and so will you. Here are my favourites, along with the new album track ‘The Blues’ premiered on Gorilla Vs. Bear.

Primary 1

Listen ♫: PRIMARY 1 – Swimming Pools (burnt copy White Room)♥♥
Listen ♫: PRIMARY 1 – Foaming (White Room Version 05)♥♥

N Is For Night-Skiing

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

I’m baaaack! Colorado was something else. Pictures we took couldn’t ever do the place justice. If you ever go to Keystone, take my advice and go night-skiing. I was actually getting the hang of it after 5 days – they even started calling me ‘Eddie The Eagle‘.

Forget The Second Coming

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

While everyone and their big fat mother are busy trying to find new ways to talk about The Knife’s new material, I’d like to talk about a great new album I’ve been listening to. It’s called ‘Astrocoast’ and it’s by a band called Surfer Blood. Reminds me of both the Shins (the voice) and the Whigs (the rest). Agree?

This Is Snow Way To Behave

Tuesday, December 22nd, 2009

Joy Orbison is on FIRE – another great number. The Fader said it best – “Oh shit we just got pregnant in the club… with someone we have feelings for.” Ripped this awesome Flight Facilities track from Aeroplane’s great new December Mix. Can’t wait to see Aeroplane at NYE!

CanNOT stop playing the opening track from Beach House’s new album ‘Teen Dream‘. Finally, Richmanu has reworked Delphic’s ‘Doubt‘ and transmogrified it into a club banger. You should vote for it to win the remix competition here.

Only Good Red Eyes, Red Suits, And Faces Will Radiate

Friday, December 11th, 2009

Only good red eyes, red suits, and faces will radiate
And the cold will hide its face
Now the cold is turned away
We can be best friends with the people we hate
‘Cause we’ve all got blood
And it’s warmer than you think
Yeah it is warm and it is thick (Via) ←♥♥♥♥ i want to know her

Act Like You Know L S Mitchell

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

Discovered L S Mitchell on the Erol Alkan Forums. He’s a young man from Jersey and I really like the remixes he’s given me to post. The first is a remix of Gucci Vump and you can’t really go wrong remixing this song [see HERE]. The second is an absolutely awesome remix of Nero’s ‘Act Like You Know’. Turns the clubbasaurus D&B original into a early morning chillout jam.
