Saw Steve Aoki on Friday just there. I was absolutely hammered and therefore dancing like an absolute gimp on the dance-floor. He played a really good set and did about 150 stage dives – love it, wish more DJs would do that. And yes he played Warp 1.9 and yes it was amazing. I shook his hand at the end for being a legend.

No Steve Aoki songs but Dim Mak-related material so stop complaining. Plus I ♥ The Bloody Beetroots. Their Groove Armada remix is one of my favourite this year – I bet in the live environment it’s fucking euphoric. The Timbaland remix packs a big punch too.

Radio discoveries next. Kissy Sell Out played this Lucky Dip remix the other day and it stood out right away as one of the best ones he played – it actually made me smile when I first heard it. Takes a while to get into (~1min before it stutters in) but is a really playful remix and it’s worth the wait. Heard this Felix Da Housecat remix on Alex Metric’s Radio 1 show and same again, it stood out from the pack so I’ve ripped it for your pleasure. Finally, this Jaymo & Andy George (another Radio 1 staple) remix is fantastic. Exactly what I want from a remix.

Yeah that’s right… I’ve only gone and been linked to from Rolling Fucking Stone! I’ve hit the big time! I’ll be bigger than Balloon Boy!

Hahaha, OK its only a little click of the button under the ‘Mashup’ link – but seriously thats quite cool right?!

Aaaaaaanyway, back to what I do best – hunt for little ear nuggets for your pleasure so you don’t have to. Recently Track-Reviewed on Pitchfork, Letting Up Despite Great Faults caught my ear as one to watch. A little digging threw up a great wee Passion Pit remix.
