Hey people, just dropping in to tell you not to panic if ever the site's template goes all crazy for the next month or so. We're planning a redesign of the blog because hey, let's face it, it look damn ugly right now. If anything weird happens, just mosey away for a few minutes (3 to 5 at most) and when you come back, everything should be back to normal... Unless we actually finish the template and you just find it looks bad. In that case, you'll just have to deal with it while we point and laugh at you for having horrible taste.

Im in ur webz stealin ur songz
Mustapha 3000 - Kongo Thong - Musatapha 3000 (Erol Alkan for those who do not know) gives us a nice banger. Cool sample from Cisco or idontknowwhatlamehiphopartistofthe90's. I like that track.
Speaker Junk - Close your eyes - B-side of the amazing Foxxy Lady, you know that awsome remix of the Jimmy Hendrix song. Anyways, the b-side is not as amazing but it sure is cool.
Dizzee Rascal - Pussyhole - New Dizzee. The beat is ratter simple, but godamn efficient.
Le Castlevania - Trouble In Daylight (Surface2Air Remix) - Cool electro sound. Cut-up vocoder voice, a synth with distortion to the max, and of course : The cowbell.
The Bloody Beetroots - Ezekiel Eats Red Hoodie - Dunno if i posted that thing already, and i'm too lazy to find out. This song rocks. It really does. I just like the global feel of it.
Camille - Ta Douleur (Al Usher Vocal Mix) - Usually i don't like Camille, i can't listen to that. But this remix made me swallow the pill. Really nice job.
Holy Hail - Born Of A Star (Adventures Close to Home Remix)
Klaxons - Gravity's Rainbow (Kavinsky Remix) - Best Kavinsky song yet? man this remix is fucking cool. Kavinsky has always bored me with the 80'-ish electro, but with this he diserves some props.

Meh
Oh boy i'm tired, last night was fun, but oddly the crowd wasnt into it that much. Anyways... here are some songs:
*REMOVED UPON TURBO'S REQUEST*
Cajuan - Dance/Not Dance (Digitalism Unreleased Mix) - Cool alternative version of the awsome Dance/Not Dance remix. Less punchy, but its nice.
Dj Mehdi - Lucky Boy (Surkin Remix) - The young prodigy remixing Dj Mehdi's lucky boy. This was released on Ed Banger on Mehdi's Lucky Girl Ep. Get this.
Vicarious Bliss - Electroluxe - Very Daft Punkish track, it has a very nice abrasive feel. I like it, at least for now.
Justice - D.A.N.C.E. (Plus Move Pirate Remix) - Yup..... this is like the Faex re-edit of Phantom, it only shows how much fun you can have with a proper DAW and a myspace rip. Less disco, a bit more electro. Nice job.
Uffie - Pop The Glock (Solakov Fake Outlet Remix) - This must be rather "old" but whatever, i just discovered it. Fun remix, strange ambient strecthed distorded bass, i like it. Uffie sucks monkey balls, but the remixes are in general pretty cool, and the production behind Uffie is great. But man... Uffie sucks as a Mc or as whatever she calls herself. Saw her live once... sucked. She is nothing without Mr Oizo or Feadz behind vocoding her godamnawfulshitty voice. Sorry sorry i got angry *breaths* ok ok next
Simian Mobile Disco - It's the beat (the teenagers remix) - Nice, really nice. The Teenagers, started as a myspace curiosity (like more and more acts now), but since w or 3 singles you can feel its really starting to go somewhere now. And thats cool because those guys have talent. Anyways, the remix is nicely done. Definatly waiting for their next move.
White Noise - The Things We Do - Heavy dirty mean electro comming at you like a train in a car stuck on the railroad. It even has an over-distorded guitar solo to enhance the feeling. Exausting! : D
Martin Brothers/Clipse - Stoopit/Wamp Wamp (Red Foxx Chopped n FX Edit) - Nice Mash-Up, the acapella is all glitched up and it sounds great. Lovin' it.
Young Buck, Game, Ludacris - Stomp (Ratatat remix) - Yup, found another one. Really cool stuff... i cant wait to have the CD.

Ratatat *updated* *UPDATED*
I can't wait for this to come out.... i really can't. The vol. 1 was really nice now here is a sneak peek of what Ratatat has been plotting :
* I just found another one :
- Bleek - Alright (Ratatat Remix) that's tight shit fo sho
.
Escape
The Black Ghosts - Anyway You Choose to Give It (Boy-8-Bit Remix) - With Face, The Black Ghosts started to get a name, now with the new single Anyway You Choose to Give It they are making us understand they are here for a lilttle while.
The Black Ghosts - Anyway You Choose To Give It (Playgroup Dub) - Nice other remix done by Playgroup. What a killer bass! my house almost colapsed.
SebastiAn - Head/Off (Faex Rework) - SWEEEET! amazing job done by Faex. This track feelsgood and heavy. Monstruously fascinating.
Scissor Sisters - Shes My Man (Goose Remix Edit) - Perhaps one of the most agressive electro i've heard in while. Watch out for the brain damage. Goose gives us a very nice demonstration of their skills. Ah! those crazy belgians!
Pharell (ft. Jay Z) - Frontin' (Starkey Remix) - Remember the remix of Throw Some D's by Starkey? well he's at it again with this nicely done extreme makeover. I like it.
Loot & Pillage - Click Clack - This is what is comming back over and over again in my PLs at the moment, dunno, I really enjoy playing that track in slow bpm. But what's fun is to fuck with it by adding acapellas, works like a charm.
Killdahype - Révolution - I posted the stunning remix of Around The World last time. Now i upload some of their original work. Revolution is one angry mean song. Lovin' it.
Jacknife Lee - Making Me Money (Switch Remix) - The new Switch. "I really love it, it's Making Me Money" damn right it is. Great stuff like always... i haven't heard one bad production from this guy... MAN i can't wait to see the dude next week end, its gonna be oh so sick!
The Sunshine Underground - Borders (GoodBooks Remix) - Dreamy and groovy remix. GoodBooks generally cook good stuff anyways.
Para One - Severed God Limbs (feat. Busdriver) - I just discovered this song on the Club Hoppn EP. And for me it's a great moment. One of my favorite MC meets one of my favorite producer... Never thought those two guys would get together. Anyways. Don't be scared by Busdriver's flow, I assure you he is human and mortal.
Teenage Bad Girl - Cocotte (Boys Noize Rework) - ................ Does anyone remember Robot Rock by Daft Punk? because...... its kinda similar, well with a more dirty sound and and little synth melody. Don't get me wrong, i like this remix, only I find a top notch electro producer like Boys Noize could have done a little bit more original. But i still really enjoy that remix, im just pointing things out.
Teenage Bad Girl - Cocotte (Hystereo rebrand) - Distortion + drumkit + Synth = Dancefloor violence goodness. nuff said.

Beyond The Wizzard's Sleeve
What is Beyond The Wizzard's Sleeve?
it's a band composed of Erol Alkan and Richard Norris
You probably know Erol.... if you don't you really don't listen to much electro.... or at least not the good electro. The guy is a legend. One of my fav Dj.
Richard Norris is a producer, engineer and musician and is part of several bands : Droyds, The, Further, Gold Star, Grid, The, Jack The Tab and Moon Unit
Anyways.... this as nothing to do with big electro sound, its not even close from electro. It's all about rock.
here is a tatse of their work:
- Midlake - Roscoe (Beyond the Wizard Sleeve Remix) (my personal fav)
anyways... i cant wait for their album to come out
in the meantime i'll be lurking their myspace page
.
I KNOW I DONT UPDATE ! I KNOW I SUCK!
OK OK here is the tracks ive been collecting during all that non-updating time:
The Scanners - Bombs (White Lights Jhn Rdns Nvr Hpy Edt) - John Redden, the same dude that made that wonderful remix of Justice's legendary Waters Of Nazareth that I blogged several weeks ago delivers another wonder. I mean...... try NOT to clap your hands while hearing this! A+ work
*REMOVED UPON TURBO'S REQUEST*
Digitalism - TVTV - Brand New Digitalism, it's a total BOMB. I really can't wait to see them live on march 22nd!!!! Ich Liebe Digitalism !
Klever - Kryptobounce - I really love that song, BMore at its finest. This remix of Kryptonite (I'm on it) by Klever is one of those catchy tunes you can listen over and over and over again until you want to barf.
M.I.A. - Bird Flu (Crash Berlin Remix) - Hot remix of the new M.I.A. track (warning : may contain traces of chicken samples) (seriously!)
Yo Majesty - Club Action (Chris Bagraiders Sailing to Baltimore Edit) - WOW just WOW, when i hear that track in a party i start to jump everywhere. Wonderful job done by those crazy aussie guys, the Bagraiders. SAIL AWAY SAIL AWAY SAIL AWAY FUCK THAT SHIT NIGGA. Priceless
Acid Jacks - Awake Since 78 (Boy 8 Bit Remix) - I Think everyone knows the mindblowing remix of that song by MSTRKRFT, well here is the Boy 8 Bit's take on that song, and boy! thats good!
MSTRKRFT - Street Justice (MSTRKRFT 2007 Remix) - "Killing on the dancefloor, WHAT, Killing on the dancefloor, its just a killing on the dancefoor", man you're godamn right! its a fuckin massacre. I first heard that song when MSTRKRFT went to Montreal (oh boy what a party) and i really wanted to find it. Found it. Now i want to share the love !
Klaxons - Gravity's Rainbow (Nmedia Remix) - Another awsome remix of a Klaxon song. Is it the most remixed band of 2006? Anyways, whatever, keep'em commin' !
Justice - D.A.N.C.E. - HEY HEY! it leaked ! at last ! i hope you'll enjoy it!
Wu-Tang Clan - Aint Nuthin To Fuck With (Bird Peterson Remix) - Oh so gangsta remix of that song. You just want to grab your belt buckle and bust a c-walk over that flamin' hot 135 bpm of pure Ghetto goodness.
SHITDISCO - I Know Kung Fu (Nightmoves Remix) - This song is just too cool. The remix is even cooler. Nightmoves, we love you.
Para One - Midnight Swim (Surkin Drowning Mix) - Surkin at it again, this kid can't get enough... i wonder when that liltle bastard is gonna come visit us here! Anyways, this remix is absolutely great, i suggest you grab it right now and pass it on!
Trentemoller - Take Me Into Your Skin (Nu Disco Edit) - Aaaaah, Trentemoller, what a genius. He is without any contest one of my favorite producer, he has so much skills, and so much class, he has multiple sounds. Anyways, enough cock sucking. Take Me Into Your Skin was one of the best track on the masterpiece that is Last Ressort (man i love that album) and Trentemoller takes it to another level.
datA - Master Level - datA !!!!!!!! the dude is back with a new track. And damn, that shit is tight like a 12 yr old!
Headman - On And On (Riot In Belgium Remix) - Loved that track so much i bought it on beatpotrt! Gotta support who keeps you moving. RiB is one of them
Daft Punk - Around The World (Killdahype Remix) - Amazing track! when i saw tis i was a liltle skeptical. but man! this rocked ! wow, i'll definatly spin that track in my next mix
Robyn - Konichiwa Bitches (Trentemoller Remix) - Trentemoller is most probably god.... be sure to listen to that song with your speakers and the subwoofer to the max!
SebastiAn - Greel - Ok... you most prolly already have it... but wtv... personally i dont like that song that much.... i prefere tracks like walkman or ross ross ross........... meh
!!! - Heart of Hearts (Crimp Yr Hair Remix) - !!! just released the LP Myth Takes, i liked it, didnt find it mind blowing though, but its a nice album. This Remix is a instrumental only version of the song, its basically what would happen if !!! would go electro.
Beck - Cellphone's Dead (Ellen Allien Remix) - Very nice remix from the Bpitch Control headboss Ellen Allien. Very relaxing (well i find).
New Young Pony Club - The Bomb (The Teenagers Crush LOU Remix) - NYPC is the new cool, and for good reasons. The new single the bomb.... is really a bomb... (...ok ive got nothing to say, i admit it)
Balkan Beat Box - Bulgarian Chicks (Featuring V. Tomova. M. Alexiava) - That is soooooo cool! its like traditional bulgarian music with a touch of electro! GENIUS! if you saw Borat you are just probably laugh....
Jazzanova - Boom Clicky Boom Klack (Mr. Scruff Vocal Mix) - I've always loved Mr Scruff, this guy is one of Ninja Tunes major artist. This remix is like a tribute to Deep House. Cool Stuff.
Tiga - You Gonna Want Me (Van She Tech Remix) - ok this is a crappy radio rip...im sorry... i can't find the song. But i felt like posting it because its a great remix, i hope it comes out soon on beatport
Stars - Sleep Tonight (Junior Boys Remix) - Lets end this music posting fury on a relaxed tone. This Junior Boys remix makes me wanna sleep (its actually a positive comment).
ENJOY ALL THIS CRAP!
