The Bucketheads: The Bomb (These Sounds Fall into my mind) (CSY remix)

I recently did a post on a CSY remix. Some dude from Australia I believe. So he sent me some more and I quite like this one. The speed/breakbeat sound that Switch, Kingdom, etc., and others are doing, but it works well with this track I think. You'll recognize the track.

Bjork and Antony and the Johnsons - Modeselektor mixes

Somehow I missed this when it came out earlier this year. Modeselektor did a great job with the very atmospheric beauty of Bjork and Antony (from Antony & the Johnsons) in Dull Flame of Desire. You can get both mixes here. I discovered this through my friend Matthew's mix you can find here.

And while you're listening to big banging club sounds, I am also loving this right now.

Golden Bug - Bisco on Hot Biscuits blog

I think the new music sound that I'm hot on is something that sounds like disco, or has disco elements in it (including 80s-ish disco) but which is somehow newer/cleaner/harder sounding. I know nothing about this artist, but sounds pretty good.

Sci Fi Pogo - amazing disco edits

When I first discovered Sci Fi Pogo blog, I was blown away. But then I realized that most of the zshare links weren't working. Now that they are working again, I have to draw your attention to it. Don't know where this blogger gets their edits from, but lots of good ones. In particular check out the Caroline Loeb - Narcissique (Kommand Disco Edit) the Nina Hagen Band - Auf'm Bahnhof Zoo (Allez-Allez Edit) and the Rational Youth - Le Meilleur Des Mondes (Love Supreme Edit).

Sci Fi Pogo it!

friendly fires "Paris" remixed by Aeroplane on 8106 blog

I can't help it. I just keep banging on about Aeroplane. I've already posted about them earlier. This is very unusual for me cause usually I'm off on some new tangent. But these guys just keep doing stuff I have on repeat. When you start this track and the reverb synth stabs start it's like . . . . well it's better than butter and marmite.

Jamiroquai - Alright (Fred Falke and Alan Breaks Remix) on Tuftsmania blog

Cause I'm willing to admit that I loved Jamiroquai back in the day.
And cause I just can't help loving everything Falke does these days. Maybe it won't last, but for now.

Slick Master Rick - Halloween House on What I Like blog

If you're looking for a last minute hit for your Halloween Party and you have a good sound system, ain't nothing like some early jackin house with a Halloween theme. Slick Master Rick.!! Sick.

Moon Martin - Mixed Emotions (1985)

Don't know much about this dude but I was searching for other stuff and found this Italians Do It Better linked mix which has the track "Writing on the Wall" and then I managed to navigate some russian forums to find the full album. Lots of relatively good tracks on here, highlights being Writing on the Wall and Kiss of Fire.

Champange Campagne by Enur

This is a bit of a cheat cause I found the new Raggatronic album by Enur not on a blog but on this japanese site of some sort. But if you find the megaupload link on there and download the album, the track Champagne Campagne is so wicked. I heard it played by Radioclit on their diesel u music radio show yesterday with Hackney Empire. You can listen here.

HI-Energy article from The Face 1984

I have been buying old The Face magazines lately and saw this article on Hi-Energy so thought I would share it. I didn't realize that the scene was pretty much started by Ian Levine and that it was centered at Heaven club (yes the same one). This article has pictures of Evelyn Thomas and talks about some other Hi-Energy stars, but most of the tracks that are mentioned which are not well known are not super great.

Ghostface Killah - Charlie Brown (CSK OK Remix) on Hyperbole blog

Don't know anything about Aussies CSK OK but they turned this Ghostface Killah track back into the disco hip hop madness sounds I wuv from back in the day. You got to be stone faced killer to not boogie on to this.

Bad Skinned - Jaccques Renault on the Beat blog

Matthew Stone played this last night when we played disco at Durrr and it was soooo good. I guess it came out on the Italians Do it Better thing which has to also do with Glass Candy. New retro sounding excellent stuff.

Barry Mason "Body (Faze Action Edit)" on the Mosquito Chimney

Once again, I filtered though a whole bunch of apparently interesting (but not really) posts of rare disco that people are trying to get excited about to find the one that had the building instrumentals, the spacey vocals, the whole she-disco-bang. Enjoy. And once you go to this Mosquito Chimney blog, have a look around. Those Chimneys are all crazy rare collectors.

Empire of the Sun - Walking in a Dream (Sam La More mix) on Hot Biscuits

This is sooooo good. Pointed out to me by Jesse - check out his remixes here.

But also check this shit out - very good.

Computer Music - Central Unit & Circuit - David Rubato

I've been excited about the Aeroplane remix of David Robato's Circuit for some weeks now but then I found this Steve Moore remix on 20 Jazz Funk Greats blog and it's really beautiful (though not quite as dancey as the Aeroplane mix). At the same time I found this great blog which lists fantastic lesser known 80s dance mixes and discovered the Computer Music - Central Unit track and noted how similar it was to the Rubato.

Funky Green Tab blog for list (but no downloads) of great 80s stuff.

Zeigeist - Humanitarianism (The Twelves Remix) on Le Touch blog

The Zeigeist stuff on its own sounds a bit like a slightly shallower less inventive version of their fellow countrymen The Knife. But this remix is almost in the same league as the amazing Aeroplane stuff floating around. I still can't believe the Aeroplane remix of Rubato's Circuit is not blogged yet. Most djs have it (cause it's in a million mix sets on the net) and it's amazing. It's going to be in a disco podcast I did on the Durrr website as soon as they post it.

Vampire Weekend covers Everywhere (Fleetwood Mac) on Pretty Much Amazing blog

I'm sorry I just pretty much like everything these guys do. It just has the sound of musicians who know what they're doing. This is maybe not quite dancefloor friendly, but lovely version.

Also special mention to this L.A. Riots remix of Ting Tings That's Not My Name on Penned Madness blog.
