AOKI’s In The House

Thursday, October 22nd, 2009

Just got my ticket to see Steve Aoki at Cabaret Voltaire on the 13th Nov. This WILL be me.

Kind of a mish-mash post this one. Just a collection of bangers. Aoki gets a lot of stick but I don’t give a monkeys – I’ll be down the front holding him up with the rest of them.

Unknown Unknowns – Things We Do Not Know We Don’t Know

Fuck Rumsfeld! Although, he did inspire the titles of these past 2 posts, so… thanks Donald. Originally I was just gonna pile everything into the one post, but that’s just too much for your tiny brains (and mine) to handle at one time. So I decided to split them up Hipster Runoff-style into “mainstream” and “alt” – at least what I consider “alt” anyway, you might have a completely different definition. This posts’ theme is therefore titled “Remixes Of Artists Who Are Alt“.

This may be old but I don’t care – Edwin Van Cleef rocks my little socks! Thanks TMS! Asian Dan recommended ‘Kyouki’ a couple days ago. You see how close my ears are to the ground :P ? The Tom Deluxx remix is another stormer! If I were to ever remix a song, I’d hope it would come out sounding like this Shoes remix – man when that beat drops it DROPS! Naaam Sayyyin??! Got that from LA Friendly. I should rename this post ‘Fucking Bangers To Bop To‘, especially after these 4 eardrum grenades! Kish from Futuristic Silence has awesome taste, and knows a tyrannosaurus beat when she hears it. You can thank her, then, for bringing to your attention this John Roman remix of Felix Cartal.

You’d be a Mightyfool not to like this IllStM & Zôl remix. See what I did there. Also, I’m really digging this AC Slater remix. That’s a great name for a DJ eh. I’d be ScreechPanoramix rulez. The Twelves are also yet to disappoint me. Weaving slinky disco basslines into their remixes like they own it.

I actually saw Freeland when I was down in Brighton a few months ago for the Great Escape festival. I’ll be honest – I wasn’t impressed! They came on like Kajagoogoo, but with worse hairdos! HAHA! Joke. GRUM can also do no wrong, his remix of ‘Borderline’ is impressive (altogether now “DO YOU FEEL ME?“) but he really shines on his own track Heartbeats. Heartbeats (like VEGA‘s ‘No Reasons‘) will probably be in my year-end top 10 song list. Lastly, Lifelike is a brutha from another mutha who hasn’t slipped up at all recently. Wind down the end of this post with the 80s-indebted ‘Radio 84′ – fuck me it’s even in the title.
