OK the sun is out and its time crank the boombox…
Nothing better than some crunked up electro slammer to get that BBQ all smoked up..
Dominique Young Unique is apparently a protégé of Yo Majesty, well I guess you can hear the similarities.
All I know is this makes we wanna BOUNCE! But like , shorten the name!!
MP3
This is proper fierce indie punk disco tackle…
Proper meth fueled rage all over these joints. Your mother just better not be listening.
Thanks for the hook up Dave, I’d like to meet up but from these sounds I guess you might hurt me.
Go say hello to Mr Dave Scorp if you dare over at his Myspace
FIGHT

A Girl And A Gun -Teenage Blitz!(Dave Scorp Remix)
OK so I just gotta start the week off by filling whatever media player you got with some of these cuts..
Lets get into it..
First up Don Diablo (electro sweat shop proprietor) has taken one of my fave tunes and rinsed it up… jury still out. What do you think?
Another fave of mine Bang from Blaqstarr and Rye Rye has been ground into dubstep dust by dMon..
Next we got Mrs PARTYCMYKs favourite from the Black kneed bees given some heavier four on the floor with a dubstep breakdown by some guy called Durty!
And finally I’m changing things up and passing on this inspired cover of Kid Cudi’s ubiquitous day n nite by Australian pop punkers Chaingang.

Don Diablo vs The Roots – The seed 3.0
Rye Rye – Bang(dMon Bootleg Remix)
Black Eyed Peas – Boom Boom Pow (Durtys big room robotic mix)
Been a while since we heard from our man Figure..
I know that he hasn’t been slackin…. Ol Figure has been hittin turntables and turning the dials all across the US of A.
Heres some serial wobbly remixing he did just for you on the Major Lazer track. Keep on for the drop!

Major Lazer – Baby(Figure remix)
Bonus
OK PARTYCMYK here to get the party started…..
I guess this post is for those not at Glastonbury this weekend.. for those coming back from Glasto if you’re reading this in the future!!
Loads of tackle here to bump in the sun and jack on dancefloor!
First up Sidechains has gone totally vintage on this classic blue pearl rave joint..part of the new big life remix project (Expect many classic to get a whole new face)
Next up Kazey and Freon go full tilt at the shoes track, America. Intense!
Loony Wise Men dropped us a cheeky sythn rocker to promo their new EP “Nervous Dude” out on FTW Records soon(Maybe even now).
We got some cheeky pop from a group called La Chansons, I think we got some blog/chart cross over here.
And finally Zero 7 are throwing out new material soon, we got the Mock n Toof remix which is dubby quality as always.
MP3
Blue Pearl – Naked in the Rain (Sidechains remix)
The Shoes – America ( Kazey and Freon remix)
Loony Wise Men – Nervous dude (Pt 2)
Zero 7 – Everything up(Zizuo)(Mock n Toof remix)
(Phew!)
Holy Moly, wait till you get a load of these…
I am not a great fan of this La Roux track.. the chorus is just weak. But then Iamxl popped this through our inbox and made it a proper popper. The bass drum is potentially lethal in the right hands.
Plus our man Iamxl gave us a load of additional remixes that we couldn’t pass on the post…. Instead we wanted to pass the tracks to you guys..
So much goodness hard to recommend one in particular… just get them all.
If you’re feeling it support the artist and go buy his shizzle over at his site.
EPIC

La Roux – Bulletproof (IAMXL Remix)
Joy Division – Atmosphere(iamxl remix)
John Lennon – Woman (iamxl b’more remix)

Hot out the edit room new video for Old Money. This track is to be included on a compilation to be release next week – Old Money Presents…Your Moms (Mixed by Morsy)
NICE!
Couple of weeks ago me and some pals pitched up for the Casio Kids gig. So guess what ……the gigs were running late.
(Copyright Helen Skinner)
Time to sit down, hold back the small amount of excitement I’d being brewing for the show and just relax.
Nope, I had it all wrong… Picture Book showed up as the support act and mainlined straight to my pleasure processors..
Their set was somewhere in the region of 6 tracks and through it they dived around dubstep, jazz , electro and soul. Splitting genre atoms!
The guys on keyboards and guitar just smashed every track then when the singer pulled out her electric violin my mind was well and truly jammed high.
These guys are Liverpool UK based so time to represent the home town…. You must see these guys live.
Check the Picture Book myspace for a festival appearance near you soon. Big things!!
RUSH

These two guys come from Sweden and do that whole dubbed out punk disco sound.
Tiedye have already appeared on remix duties for DJ Kaos release thruoght Rong/DFA and have a single on release through the mighty Italians Do it Better.
There sound just feels like your favourite winter meal or that sweater you know you can always go to when everything else just isn’t working for you.
I’m falling in love with you Tiedye. Enjoy the sounds of Swedish “windblowing pop and gruyèresmelling rock”

Now I heard about this Kanye and Mr Hudson project and I was like wtf… some altbro love going on.
I haven’t as yet heard the original but I’m guessing its pretty poor… thankfully Doorly makes a good job of flipping it with some heavy rave step breaks… which we always wanna hear about.
Catch Doorly at his weekly Ibiza night “Reclaim the dancefloor” every Tuesday at Eden. 2ManyDjs are gonna be doing 5 spots over the summer with other big guest like Boys Noize and Fake Blood making appearances.
BOOM!
MP3
Ok boppers. Its been bangerific round here past few days so lets switch it round and get the mirror balls on.
The Australians , DCUP, are up to mischief with some 2k9 reworks of two classic disco jammers. They also included a bootleg of that Ultra Nate joint but I kinda hate that track so lets not talk about it OK! (in any form).
DCUP’s new EP , “Style”, is up for release soon June 20th on Sweat it out, search for it at iTunes I guess.
WOW!
MP3
Love getting tracks from Action Jackson. The guy just doesn’t disappoint.
There have been sooooo many remixes of Passion Pit‘s “sleepy head” since the stems went out for remix competition(I seem to remember). This is a dam fine example.
Whats the point in remixing something and not really changing it up. Action Jackson has killed it by lacing this with a load of classic (i.e. in a Hashim/Newcleus kinda way) electro beats.
Get popping and locking… throw the lino down and wait for the chorus when the whole world swims in strings. Get Robotic!

Kanye West feat. Twista – Overnight Celebrity (Dave Wrangler Remix)
Ahh man those boys Sonic Truth are sooooo dam fierce. They dropped a heavy pack of WMDs on me through the inbox and I think even my mail client was having trouble with the sheer weight of the bass in there.
Set your speakers to “handle some heavy shit” mode and feel your whole house shake. They have ripped Laidback Luke and Diplo’s track to pieces here, then fired up on the Faint track with some cosmic bmore ish, then gone into the dancefloor antimatter state with 2 original tracks that just SLAY!
These tracks need to be in your BIG ROOM box!
HUGE

SWe haven’t had a roundup for a while and I know you guys enjoy our normal little Friday get together where we throw a bunch of stuff from the inbox at you. But right now there is soo much in there we need to catch up now.
Right here I got a fresh reinvention of the holy holy soul funk track Supertitious by Stevie Wonder which Jemex has gone deep on. Check the sliding outro to see how brave and beautiful this truly is.
Then we got some Parisan dub DJ Grant Phaboa giving N.A.S.A’s Money a summer reggae flip.
Next up Buffetlibre crew brighten up Partick Wolf with some energetic synths.
Uk Funky represents with Greenmoney Productions (Leo Greenslade & Alex from Bugz In The Attic) giving a totally serious shakedown of Twizzle’s Skydiving
And finally the mighty King Britt comes totally correct on Santigold with a proto dubstep reshake of Anne

Well we got a confession, PARTYCMYK was holding out. We had a whole bunch of remixes from this guy. His light retro electronic touch has been poked at some hi profile inide dancefloor fillers and we have them right here.

Emil and Friends – Downed Economy(Mr Vega Stimulus Remix)
Its always a good day when James from DTTT drops something in the inbox. Here is his latest treat.
I normally write a little something about the track but in this case lets just see what James has to say from the original email.
i made i a remix of the kings of leon cover by lykke li “knocked up”. a remix sure to bring your tasteful and oh so fashionable music blog so many readers and american apparel ads, that the internet bursts into flames and airplanes fall out of the sky.
now, of all the random thoughts that enter my head from time to time, these two might be the most relevent in explaining why i made this remix.
1. lykke li does not like drums / drummers.
2. man, i get a ton of myspace freind requests from 17 year old girls
what can also be relevent, are the two things i want in life
1. to be lykke li’s touring drummer.
i can clap and hit a woodblock from time to time. where’s my fat touring drummer check?
2. i want more friend requests from jailbait
20 a day just isn’t enough. does this violate my probation?
PLUS. the first blog to post this remix, wins this awesome football phone.
http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r211/djkillpeople_bucket/football.jpg
ha. they laughed at you when you said you wanted to start a music blog. now you can call them , by looking up there number in your contacts on your regular phone and then dialing the numbers manually on your new football phone. IN YOUR FACE!!!!
