Whats slayin ya floor?

A couple of choice things this week.

Copy Shop - Faces EP More cool minimal french goodness.

Trevor Loveys - Back to Front EP. Shock horror its got vocals and its way cool!

Roman Flugel - Geht's Noch. Both mixes on the Skint 12' are doing the bedromm slaying!

Beesting I heard Style Rockets were a combination of Tiefschwarz, Alter ego and Adam Beyer. Not sure how true that is but its certainly that sound about it.

Also slaying floors: Beckers - Switch (Oliver Klein & Peter Jurgens rmx)

Cheers simon I'd just tracked it down when I saw your post. The version Yousef played at Ultra was my fav track from the whole day, just need to find which one it is now

Thanx heaps mate, appreciate it

Another tune that was HUUUUUGE at the WMC this year. Heard it everywhere, had a few brilliant laffs trying to hum it to DJ's in search of its name tho

Freeform Five - Strangest Things (Six Fingers Mix)

was the one I was after, has a bit more club appeal than the MANDY mix I think. Lovin it, but gutted it took me SOOO long to figure the name out

That is one funky tune I heard it a few times on Bfm, real similar to the fort knox five. I really want to get my hands on it

The north shore poney club I mean

nothing new from me for ages, sadly i cant afford anything new at present but found cosmos - deep inside the groove sitting in my crate.. forgot how much I quite like this track.. builds up nicely.. vocal works I reckon.. other than that a little chris sijay is getting some play time...

Pole Folder - Salvation on Slavery Sins (Nick Muir mix)

too good for words.

What will be rocking my floor, when I get hold of them...

Various Artists : Street Sounds Electro 1
Street Sounds

Various Artists : Street Sounds Electro 2
Street Sounds

Re-issue central!!! Piccadilly has them, and once I have the money, they'll be mine. Anyone found more info???

And..... 'Dust' by Recloose. Still. And 'Here Come The Dix' by The Dix.. Fictional old soul group founded by Prince Paul.

Annnd.....*cough* the instrumental of 'Signs', the new Snoop Dogg 12". I'm a sucker for horns.

Also.. Rio Baile Funk - Favela Booty Beats Sampler (Essay Recordings). Lot's of fun.

Hey no need for shameful coughs there man, I think this is a good song.

And like everyone else I'm enjoying recloose 'dust' a lot.

Also this week...

Hundarna Fran Soder - Regn
Quasimoto - Bus ride
Dubchild - roll that shit
Hexstatic - distorted minds (zero db remix)
Si begg - futureisnow

Speaking of diplo i found his mashup of radiohead 'sit down stand up' and some crunk hiphop rapping which I'm enjoying a lot.

I absolutely demand that you two apply for the Academy.
Before June 2nd. No questions.

(actually there's rather a lot of Q's in the app. But I am sure that with your superb music taste u will breeze through it. Just remember to write it in a fun way.
I hope u succumb to my bullying and apply!...)

word, nice to see some prog in here, got my vinal copy today, totally different for a bedrock record

is that on vinyl?
i've been meaning to buy the cd, it only seems to be on a few internet sites.
you should check out Diplo's Favelas on blast mix. he went to the Rio favelas to find the music.
some crazy stuff on there, tracks with samples from the Clash, Row Row Row your Boat and the Survivor theme song!!
I'm also liking Signs and...
Janet Kay - Silly Games
Ginuwine - Pony (dirty sexy r&b by Timbaland)
Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam - Let the Beat Hit Em
MIA - Bingo
Willie Williams and Brentford Disco Set - Armagideon Time (from the Studio One Disco Mix compilation)

I'm with scribmo and codepeople... lovin' "Signs" by Snoop/Timberlake/Pharell. Mr Williams has done a decent job on Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl", too. But favourite pop song of the moment is gotta be Amerie "One Thing"... I could watch that video all day long.

House-wise...
Sir Piers & Los Amigos Invisibles ft Shaun Escoffery // "She's Gone Away" // Curious
Kerri Chandler // "Six Pianos" // Deeply Rooted House
Reel People ft Sharlene Hector // "Rain" // Papa
Steel Vybe ft Rich Medina // "Spiritual Life" (Quentin Harris Mix) // Spacekat
Kerri Chanlder // "Bar A Thym" // Nite Grooves

you do have the Danny Krivit edit of teh Amerie choon right Scandal??

its just a bit longer with sum orgns in it, nearly as good as the video.....

haven't seen this amerie video. but she's a hottie right?
does the danny krivit edit use the original sample more? like his beyonce edit?
the guy who produced one thing also did crazy in love.

fer my ears, sounds like the amerie version just longer and with an organ solo.

if it ain't broke.......

and yes she hot!

This is a 12". You may have to get it on the interweb. I'll def. check out that mix. On the web?? I have the 'Piracy Funds Terrorism' mix thay he did w/ M.I.A...

The Mr K edit is cool indeed... unfortunately I ain't buying vinyl at the mo'.

From what I can tell he hasn't done much with it... unlike his Beyonce edit which was pretty damn clever.

Amerie is mint az... check the photo page here.

Oldie but a goodie....

NERD - Lapdance (Freeform Five re-edit)

steve angello mix of this huge!

don't you agree though that it's the sound of Sweep fucking out on acid real bad at a club losing his shit....

Will Geht's Noch outdo Rocker on the remix front? Tonnes of mixes already and its only just starting to be recognised on the dancefloor

what's your email address?

yea look on the web i got it at the same time i found Piracy Funds...

You can get all o' that here:

http://boomparty.net/mp3s.php

I'm being slayed in my chair by this mix:
http://www.milkaudio.com/web/live_roydavisjr.php

really nice! Does this belong to a specific genre of house, or is it just straight up house? i love it. perfect for the spring Tokyo sunshine, all the flowers carved into fluorescent pink topiary, and big green trees, clouds of maple leaf shapes.

yo emma. check ya mails babe.

slaying my floor:
matt drake "santigo express"

workit.

oops... "santiago express"

the north shore pony club have some real good funky breaky house stuff.

originally originating from the same dingy Newmarket warehouse that produced the likes of State of Mind and the Fast Crew. One half of NSPC Matt (Hooch) has been writing house/funk for a good 5 or so years now... fully a name to watch out for

so how would one get a copy of their tunes????

Here's an album I'm liking.

The new Fischerspooner album 'Odyssey'.

It's been a long time coming so I was looking forward to it.

They were talking about it being a 'prog rock' record but it's similar to the first one - very cold/clean electronic but with a few extra touches like guitars and drums.

You have probably haera the Thin White Duke remix of the single 'Just Let Go'.

The album version is cool too.

Even though they have Mirwais and Spike Stent producing a few tracks it's still very Fischerspooner (thank fuck for that).

IMHO no-one sounds like them.

Another interesting thing is that David Byrne contributes lyrics to a track but thankfully they don't get him to sing on it.
Much as I like David Byrne he has done lame-ass vocals on Xpress 2 'Lazy' and Theivery Corporation's latest album - lame, lame, lame.

Graet to see FS niot cashing-in on the 'guest vocalist' thing and sticking to it themsleves (Lizzy Yoder's sublime vocals are cool too).

You'll either love it or hate it but Fischerspooner produce modern pop music as it should be.

I liked it so much I bought the lovely double LP vinyl version and the ltd. edition CD which has a couple of remixes and stuff.

a `free' rekkid i got yesterday, as in I bought the 12" fer the a side, thats completely blown me away....

ain't no mountain high enough - Inner Life (Larry Levan mix)

not even a slice of cheese on this re-make...

i'm in love again.... such a choon slut.

I'm digging the new Washhouse, Carter and the Freaks once again show me why I love em so much

can't wait for the new Freaks album too

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

and I can't help but wonder what Classic will do once they hit catalogue number one.....

been a bloody good year for tunes so far

Grace Jones & Dj Hell 'I've seen that face before'


point me in the direction of that kinda stuff pls!!!

yeh this 12" is wicked, the vienna mix especially...

Nine Inch Nails - The Hand That Feeds

Sounds like a dance track on Coke...that wicked little moog synth jiggle has been running round my brain for days!! Remix please!

I think you can legally downlaod the single to remix - so go for it Beesting!

NIN have always been big on synths and stuff.

Check out the video for the new single - Looks like the keyboard player is playing an ancient ARP 2600 - cool!

Hey TP, you got 'Garageband' for mac?? My friend has downloaded all the samples but they're in garageband format.

I thought it looked like a moog he's playing, but ya might be right!

yep...

I guess you'd have to export each track as a wav or aiff or something?



it's one of the white faced ARPs which are not as common.
Anyway, I'm suprised he's using it - pretty fragile - looks good in a video though eh.

Correction - not an ARP 2600 but an ARP Odyssey.

Which funnily enough brings us back to the title of the Fischerspooner album.
I wonder if there was some kind tie-in with that synth in the album title?

are they playing the video on C4? keen to check it out.
always been a big fan of NIN, i can actually remember quite well when Head Like A Hole was released. it was around 1989 or 1990, so that makes me feel old!

Yeah the video is on C4.

Quite cool - low-res and a camera mounted on a automated tracks - very angular.

Deep - lol

meh NIN is a poor mans Ministry!!

i stopped liking ministry when they played live at big day out.
bad metal without the guitar solos..

NIN have the synths!

i saw them teh night before at the powerstation. LOUD!

they were fukn great!


and i never liked the guitar solos in metal....

oh come ON!

Those are the best things - dual guitar solos in unison!!!

Funny-as!

best guitar solo band i have ever seen was

Th Ho Dogs!!

they played nails punk rock and had these dual guitar solo's that were sooo out of place that they sounded wikkid!

great band.

oh and reznor is just a whiney yank.

Managed to get my hands on a copy of Luke walkers 'Alias" the other day... Damn its good... NZ house reprezent!! Also Luke and Loki's " Dirty secret " and "Seamrider" top class.
I'm also still getting good mileage out of :
- GC remix of Beckers "Fake"
- Geyster's "bye bye superman"
- Beastie boys "black beast"

And last but not least Stanton Warriors vocal remix of Alter ego's "rocker"

Chur.

(I have a secret hobby of listening to stuff like Satriani Hendrix tributes and stuff... like you said, funny! nerdy and cool)

Loving: Wighnomy Bros, live and hairy at club Yellow last night!! So good, best night out since I got bodyslammed at the Pete Rock gig last week.
They played some kind of Boards of Canada fast re-edit, and top moment when they dropped the accapella to that house song
(Sorry I'm a bit thick) - the one which has the big screaming reverbed sermon about 'this is our house music'? What's that??

Fumiya Tanaka was good too, wasn't he Nick?

Renato Cohen - Nova/Vodu (Sino 11), very fun
Mpho Skeef - Comin For Ya (Phuturistix mix on Phuture Lounge)
One Million Dollars - Get Off (Manuel Bundy rmx)

. Top stuff. It's a cool song. A good example of a remix doing all the right things, in all the right places. Why is this not a NZ summer anthem??

What's slaying my floor...or, to be more precise, what WILL be slaying my floor, once I get my hands on them.

MALCOLM MACLAREN - Buffalo Girls
MSFB - Philadelphia Freedom
JIMMY 'BO' HORNE - Dance Across The Floor

Thanks to trademe no less... And curse the only other person that seems to buy funk and disco on trademe...I almost won Salsoul Orchestra's greatest hits. If you lurk on these boards, beware!!!

In other news, the new 13 & God album. A collabaration btw members of Themselves, The Notwist and Anticon. Epic sprawling rock stuff. Sorta like GSYBE, but without the pomp. And... JUSTUS KOEHNCKE - SCHWABYLON. Free Kompact mp3 I got from some website. Mid tempo housey/funk. Go the vocoder!!!

i have been toying with that jimmy bo horne choon at home fer the last couple of weeks, considering making a big dumb disco house ting out of bits of it..........

Cool. It's a classic... You should do a carl craig/ Danny Krivit thing, and start doing 're-edits' of old disco/funk classics. I would totally be into it.

He's all over it already, get the man to hook you up!!!


Slayin my pants:

Jennifer Cardini & Ho - Stay
Chloe - New one on Crack and Speed
Kylie - Giving you up - Alter ego mix
Mathew Jonson - Behind the Mirror
Donnacha Costello - Aqua

websta already does some cool disco re-edits!
he's the disco-edit queen.
