Fromage Disco

February 13, 2009

Fromage are an out and out, good times, disco party crew from Melbourne Australia. They hit us up with loads of quality disco edits and I just had to share.

Fromage have been the host of some quality parties in recent years… building off the back of an unwavering good taste in quality disco music.
Most recently they hosted Todd Terje at their weekly La Di Da event.(I had the pleasure of actually taking Mr Terje to the recent Soulfulvibes gig in Liverpool UK a few weeks ago. I couldn’t go to the night so I ended up as the driver. I think I went a bit far in the car banging on about UK funky to “the Todd” but who cares, I’m that kind of guy!)

Back to Fromage. Here are as many of their edits as I could upload in an afternoon. There are more if you go diggin around in their facebook or myspace site… and don’t forget their mixtape selections over at blentwell.

Metronomy @ Korova – 28th October 2k8

October 28, 2008

Those happy people over at evol are hosting Metronomy tonight at Korova bar.

There’s so many top bands hitting Liverpool in the next week for MTV Music week and although this isn’t part of the line-up it’s still a decent warm-up for what’s gonna be a feast of amazing music.

I’m rocking up tonight, I did a favour for a sailor so got free tickets. Sometimes it pays to know your way around an ADSL router J but to be fair I would have gone whatever.

Anyway if you see me with my pregnant wife please give us a wassurp and you can have a rub of the CMYK baby belly J

Also honorable mention to CocknBullKid who are supporting… super dope lineup!

Matthew Dear – Pom Pom(Juan Maclean backup Vox mix)

October 27, 2008

So I don’t know much about Matthew Dear but I know everything that “the” Juan Maclean touches goes to gold.

Juan has done a host of new remixes for this new release, here’s a taste of what to expect.

I love the build on this track to the guitar finale. Get your New York pump hustle on!

PEACE

Futurecop!- NASA

July 24, 2008

Space , the future, policemen and exclamation points.. weird combo but so is Luke and Becs (reppin Big Brother UK y’all!)

Futurecop! is a guy called manzur iqbal… i think thats him here. He started off a year or too ago with absolutely no idea how to produce tracks. Thats right zip, nada. Believe that? Nah me neither but hey the hype goes on.

Now the guy is dropping bonafied nu disco gems.

Nasa is a fun, futuristic dancefloor laser beam. The synths skip across the speakers like little bubbles in a glass of iced perrier. Wow it must be hot cause this tracks gone straight to my head… wtf am i on about.

Just listen you’ll soon find out. Futurecop! releases an EP soon, and NASA will appear on the next CMYK mixtape which i promise is on its way.

Bueno!

PNAU feat. Ladyhawke – Embrace (Fred Falke and Miami Horror remix)

July 11, 2008

Australian glitter pumpers PNAU have been heavily bloggable for a while now, more artcore than hardcore their track Embrace is a delicious synth pop track that swirls and dreams across a dancefloor like ABBA on acid.

It’s now been given a bit of a banger make over from a Fred Falke and Miami Horror collaboration… but in a very sympathetic way. The intro has been beefed up and the synths punch heavier over Ladyhawke’s ethereal vocals…

I perfer the original but  why don’t you tell us whats hitting the mark..

Holy Ghost – Hold On

June 2, 2008

Since i am in New York I just had to make the first post from here Big Apple related and since i bought this record today in a little shop in Brooklyn and its from a New York label then it just seemed like fate…

Holy Ghost – Hold On got a release in October last year.. but it still gets the odd blog mention.. I was late picking it up myself but since hearing it on an Eli Escobar mixtape I’ve had this track in my head non stop. I love the way this track holds the vocals back until you are really into the groove of the synths..

Holy  Ghost – Hold on

***BONUS***

I’m Good, I’m Ghost - Lykke Li Vs Holy Ghost

And the DFA sessions from MOMA in march are still available here so catch them while you can.

Chromeo – Fancy Footwork (Remixes)

May 9, 2008

Hola party people… We mentioned his brother A-Trak last week so only fair to mention the other Macklovitch brother and his super disco group Chromeo.

I got to say i wasn’t a fan of Chromeo for a long time. But when the remix talent is as good as theses contenders pulled in for the latest Chromeo release then who can argue..

Favourites are the Kissy Sellout work and the Russ Chimes throwdown… floor shaking certs!

Check the links below for mp3s.

Estaw – Break It Down

April 30, 2008

Estaw has been popping up with some quality remixes and cuts recently, most of which can be found at his home from home blog, the infamous Palms Out Sounds.

He hits the UK record shops with what is possibly his first full 12″ release
this week with the pretty dope Break It Down.

The release comes with a strong array of remixes from the likes of HerveDetboi and Chew Fu his palms out bro.

But despite the heavy weights its the original that does it for me and is getting the serious CMYK love.

This is fresh rap rave … an adventure into the dope side of house.
