Disco? It Will Never Die

Monday, June 7th, 2010

Friend of the blog Polymath cooks up another batch of deeelicious dance music. Keep pumping them out son and I’ll keep listening!

Breakfast Of Champions have made the first Neon Indian remix that’s actually worth a damn. Their original stuff is similarly great.

Lastly, but by no means leastly, friend of the blog number two, LS Mitchell, has created a fantasticly professional wee 40-min mix that he sent this way. Seriously, this mix sounds like an ace night out at the Cabaret Voltaire for me! I’d be winding down to bed usually by now but this mix has me doing the feet-tap, head-bob skank!

Polymath: A Person Who Excels In Multiple Fields

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

I must have played this Polymath remix of Beataucue about 10 times in the past hour….. if that’s even possible! Featured the Inverness-based Polymath a couple of times now and this is the moment you should sit up and take notice. This excellent remix is taken from Beataucue’s brand new EP “Cha Cha Cha” out now on Kitsune records.

Who Is Polymath?

Saturday, October 31st, 2009

Polymath is a very promising new DJ from the capital of the Highlands (Inverness) and fashions dancefloor grenades from Electro and Disco-House with added WAMP WAMP BANG BANG WTFWASTHAT! Recently featured on the Andy & Jaymo show on Radio 1, he’s also been getting colossal interest from Ministry Of Sound, who wanted ‘Azza Azza’ for their new Hed Kandi ‘Destroy The Disco‘ but unfortunately he couldn’t get his sample cleared in time. BOOOOO! The tune actually reminds me of Fake Blood‘s ‘I Think I Like It’ and I think I LOVE it. See what I did there.

‘Azza Azza’ has DANCEFLOOR written all over it. ‘Diamond Berry’ has this mental muffled fuzz breakdown in it that I can’t stop spinning. Polymath also likes to remix and here he’s made ‘Rock City’ by Sonic Tramp actually listenable! Watch out for that drop at 1.15 (d-_-b)
