Oizo destroys Timberlake


I am literally sick of this video I have watched it so many times.

Monday

Mikix the Car



Trouble & Bass' (Drop The Lime, Curses!) Mikix The Cat is makin' the rounds.

That reverberating bass sound that makes you wonder if you busted out your ear subs, know? Like Dexplicit-y, Boy 8-Bit-ty.

DMCA'd


So if you haven't heard, apparently there is an organization that goes around like the ACLU of music intellectual property rights and voids blogs of their musikz. Now I'm pretty liberal, or at the least a constitutionalists, but I have been notified that my Zombie Disco Squad Post was taken off due to copyright infringements, and the songs I posted you can find all over the internet, free of charge.

I think these are probably the only people who even know about my blog.

But hey, one more person. Eh?

Here's the skinny: They wont tell you which post (song) specifically infringed. Just to be sure, here are a few Zombie Disco Squad remixes for your ears, and barely legal, too.

My flavourite remixers out there right now, bottom line.

KillaQueens - "Bitches (Zombie Disco Squad Remix)"
Wiley - "Wearing My Rolex (Zombie Disco Squad Remix)"
Bunny Lake - "Into the Future (Zombie Disco Squad Remix)"

Also, Czech out their kickin' A blog here.

We Play You Gay



If you know me at all then you probably know I like Danish lesbians as much as the next guy. But when it comes to Fagget Fairys I'm on a completely different level. Right on the cusp of the Copenhagen underground techno/electro, DJ Sensimilla & MC ENA perform anywhere from the Balkans, courtesy of label ArtRebels, to the heart of Brooklyn promoted by the super blog and newly formed record label Palms Out. This couple/Music-Duo is seriously making waves.

Long story short, MC Ena's vocal are crisp and convincing with all of the confidence you would expect from a Northern European lesbian.  I have no idea what the hell she's saying. But it sounds great.

Mockin' Bird vs. Fagget Fairys - "Ja Bi/Fake Drums"
Fagget Fairys - "Uzela"
Fagget Fairys - "Feed The Horse"

Young Guns


"Harrison Schaaf is the commander of an army of exploding synthesizers, conquering the audience through a brilliantly executed sonic pincer movement, with landmine beats to the left and bayonet hooks to the right. All who find themselves within earshot of this production wizard must instantly bow down to the new Emperor of Electro."

Blowin' doors across the world, this young LA native has drawn attention his way with top 40 remixes that are as unique as they are strongly produced. You can tell he will be a force to contend with in the electro scene for years to come.

Fagget Fairys - "Uzela" (Harrison Schaaf Remix)
Leif & Harrison Schaff - "Timbs" (Ian Johnson Remix)
Harrison Schaff - "Dave LaChapelle"
Harrison Schaff - "Zombie Outbreak"

Bass All Up In Your Face


Wowee weewow! The ol' brain tells me its about time to drain. I have indeed been fermenting my brain juices to near copious levels and the results have been less than fantastic. I have a headache.

And since we all know the best cure for a headache is brain rattling low frequency club music, I feel the need to share with you my flavourite version of the cure-all cocktail we call electro.

Taking this one to the deep end (or the low end), I am stuck on these silly bass-lines. The ones that bounce back and forth so fast you cant tell if your speakers are busted or if you just heard the sound of your own heart exploding. You know, Kakow! I.m talking about Witty Boy. Not for the faint of heart.

A DJ/ Producer hailing from Leeds, UK, Witty Boy is no stranger to the remix scene. His remix of Craig David is making mad rounds on the blog-o-sphere right now, however the tracks he produces alone make me sick. Really. I need to throw up. Too.. Much.. Bass..

Witty Boy - Attention

Witty Boy - Ironman VIP

Tecktonik Tonic

Well there is that saying. If you're going to go, go hard. But that's also what she said.

So, I'll continue to blog like people are listening. I imagine I'd probably continue to blog at this rate only if I knew ten thousand or so people read my blog a day. Well maybe a hundred... thousand. because I post so often...

We'll compromise and keep going at this rate until we reach a nice and steady three posts a month or so.

I kid.

First, I feel the necessity to delve into my obsession with Tecktonik. Of course, as all Tecktonik lovers know, I found my way across the French version of Caucasian hip-hop pop and lock via the Yelle video, "A Cause Des Garcons" remixed by TEPR, which features the Tecktonik group that includes dancers Treaxy, Vavan, and Fredou. They're like, way French.  I had the pleasure of meeting the lead's (Treaxy's) cousin at University. He was a ballet transfer student and couldn't speak a lick of English. All we could say to each other was "Yelle" and "Tecktonik." And that was nice because besides that he seemed quite boring. Kidding Johan!

I became fascinated and eventually went on a soul searching mission for all the crazed white-people dancing I could find, since it went along with my music. Months later, I discovered that the womenz actually partook in this dance. Hot womenz.

Needless to say, I was in love. I found Tecktonik dancer Lecktra.

If you haven't seen the TEPR video I'm talking about, I think it has about 30 Million plays, so czech it out if you haven't. It would be hard to miss. I'm not even linking it.  It's that popular.  TEPR.  You know this.

But in the meantime, here are three short videos to rocket feul your brain into electro submission.





Shake it!

8-bit Harmonies With A Twist Of Dub-Step


Stereoheroes is another French Production Duo, reminiscent of Sharkslayer and other bands incorporating the heart of 8-Bit chip tunes, with the up-beat tempo and format of the more popular Dub-Step. Similar to the baile-funk inspired enthusiasts of Brasilian Disco music, Stereoheroes uses a permeating accordian-like lead that eerily reminds me of Northern European producers and DJ's Zombie Disco Squad and others (Read: Oh Snap!!). Self proclaimed Ghettotech, this music really lives up to its name. Chopped, rap-inspired lyrics on 8-Bit electro harmonies with bangin' guitar breaks.. True heroes of my stereo..

Stereoheroes - Washout (Mustard Pimp Remix)

Stereoheroes - Washout (Mikix The Cat Remix)

Bonus: This track goes too well together with the others to not be mentioned here.

Mr. Oizo - Postif

The repeating sample is eerily amazing.

Star Rave

This music is Star Wars meets Disco/ French Nu-Rave during a game of cosmic bowling.



Laidback Luke is laidback about everything but music. Luke has seen some power remixes and press in the past year and especially since banding with famed label Swedish House Mafia in 2006. This DJ's high pitched scrapped and revived seirens will haunt your dreams. and your memories. and your family. and your family's memories. So go forth and Star Rave. Or rave-bowl. Whatever you fancy.

Just be real careful raveing with light sabers. Theres a lawsuit right there in a club. At least your not shooting yourself in the leg though.

Surkin - White Knight Two (Laidback Luke Remix)

Steve Angello - Gypsy (Laidback Luke Gypsy Woman Remix)

Treasure Fingers - Cross the Dancefloor (Laidback Luke Remix)
