And so the end of summer has arrived and as expected the weather has gotten, well let’s say a little different. Truth be told, the post pic above isn’t that far from the actual conditions that have lashed out over the weekend – epic rain, flash floods, thunder, lighting, golf ball-sized hail…
Anyway, this week’s tracks are after the jump… (Well, technically they’re last week’s tunes but it was my last week at my old job = flat out transition/wrap-up, and I was sick so boooo!)
Wolfgang Gartner – Undertaker (Original Mix)
This is what happens when you combine that Deadmau5 electro progressive-ish house sound with equal parts of 8-bit glitch, a solid, driving kick drum and A-Trak-esque sirens… Big fan of this one.
Classixx – Cold Act Ill (Extended Mix)
Rad video clip with heaps of old school skating. Love it! One of Classixx’s earlier tracks here giving the Roxanne Shante/Biz Markie track ‘Def Fresh Crew’ a spacey nu-disco polish over.
Kavinsky reincarnate? Well the man is back with a new EP this month, but no, Defeat is a local producer from Western Australia and after you give this track a listen you’ll definitely see that the Dead Crusier was obviously an influence. Not that that’s a bad thing at all!
Jump Jump Dance Dance – Show Me The Night (GRUM Remix)
Some lovely synth pop remix goodness from GRUM of all people. Saw a bit of Jump Jump Dance Dance at Future yesterday but unfortunately the shoddy weather started right when their set was on so a fair few punters would’ve missed out on a nice indie pop set.
How To Make It In America is my new favourite TV show, well until Entourage comes back on… Anyway, this is the music that is used in the open sequence of the show. Did I tell you that Kid Cudi is a part of the cast?
Tiga – What You Need (Chromeo Remix)
It’s Tiga and Chromeo together. Another Canandian win in my books.
This is up there as one of my all time favourite French Touch track and the relevance of it getting posted isn’t just just self indulgence… It is in honour of the great man touring Melbourne in late April! Gonna be another good long weekend! So who is DJ Falcon you may be asking? Cousin to Alan Braxe and co-collaborator with Thomas Bangalter in the group Together (‘So Much Love To Give’ and ‘Together’). He is without doubt, a part of French House royalty.
