I sometimes wish I had a clone. Then I would’ve been able to have seen both Jack Beats and attend my mate’s epic poker/Arnie movie marathon the same night earlier on this year… *Sigh*… Anyway, apologies for letting this one to sneak up all stealth-like. After you give this Essential Mix a listen you’ll agree it’s anything but stealth…

Don Diablo – I Am Not From France (Linus Love Remix)

A few goodies that got dropped in my mailbox. “I Am Not From France” is a tastemaker single for what is to come from Don Diablo in 2010. The EP is aiming for a December 11th and will includes remixes by Linus Loves, Cagedbaby, Louis La Roche and Hugo van Dyck as well as the ravetastic “Rave Rave Rave”, which is included as a bonus track. Don’t forget that you can catch Don Diablo at the national Summadayze festivals in the upcoming new year. Till then, enjoy!

That’s right, everyone’s favourite A.D.D. party masher Girl Talk has announced two Big Day Out sideshows for next year in Melbourne and Sydney.  Read on for the dates.

To sign off, enjoy one of Bunny Greenhouse’s music video for the track “In Step”. Do check check out the rest of the videos in his ambitous project of mashing up all the music videos  to the tracks off Girl Talk’s album, Feed The Animals.

Of course there’s more to be added and I’ll keep ya posted when that comes through…

(L - R) SF t-shirt, SF Magazine Issue 16, Waves/Death Suite 12"

Yes people you can thank me for keeping Australia out of a recession. Just doin’ my part…

That is Romborama in the background there in case you were wondering.

Welcome one and all to another week of music from your truly. It’s looking like this week’s post is gonna skew towards the electronic side of my musical tastings. I promise that’s it’s all gonna be accessible! Alternatively, I could mention my obsession over Radiohead’s back catalogue but you’ve all heard of them before anyway…

Ryskee – Leave Me Amor (The Bloody Beetroots Remix)

Ryskee have got your shoegazing needs covered

First cab off the ranks is Ryskee, a duo comprising of Frenchman Paul de Homem-Christo (aka Play Paul aka Guy-Man bro’s from Daft Punk) and Danish vocalist Leslie Ming.

I’m so confused by this track. The Beetroots are supposed to suck me in, chew and spit me out in a grind of chunky bass and ripping synths. They produce the stuff that gets you hot and sweaty on the d-floor. This track… Ummm… This track is nothing like that.  I’d expected to hear this on the soundtrack to a John Hughes 80s teen flick or heck even off an M83. It’s dreamy. It’s cheesy. It’s wispy. It’s shoegaze. It’s FUCKING FANTASTIC.

MSTRKRFT – Heartbreaker (Featuring John Legend)

MSTRKRFT - Look good in leather and hockey masks

I have to admit that the Fist Of God was a little bit of a letdown for me, it was kinda scattered all over the place. I do really dig the tracks “1000 Cigarettes”, “VuVuVu” and of course this one though so it’s not all doom and gloom. “Heartbreaker” stands out more me because it blends the catchy, uptempo feel that the music offers and gels together the lamenting croon of John Legend. What you get is an interesting mix of a track where you kinda want to jump around but figure it might be too painful to do so…. Awww!

Anyway, here’s the video to the track featuring hipsters/cool kids, a love story, disapproving father and a convenience store. Wooo!

Jamie T – Sticks ‘N’ Stones

"Aye! Check out my new mixing board!"

Yeah this track has been out a while but with “Chaka Demus” getting a bit of a flog on the radio of late I thought it’d be good to visit old faithful… Anyway, I just really dig the cocky vibe and bravado the track extrudes… It’s just damn cool. Video below for those interested and yes, the same vibe aurally is transferred visually:

“Sticks ‘N’ Stones” will appear on Jamie’s forthcoming album Kings and Queens which is due out in early September.

So that’s it, a very small post this week. As always, if you dig the artist/music the go buy it whether physical/digital and go see them live. Your conscience and the artists will love you more for it!

Now I’ve already mentioned Erol’s Australian tour/sideshow in last night’s post… Today I’ve got the other half of the “Waves/Death Suite” duo in Boys Noize and his announcement of a world tour to promote the album “Power” due this October. Do we start speculating what festival Boys Noize might make an appearance?

In the meantime you can have a search around the net for some “Waves/Death Suite” goodness or enjoy the video to the track “Jeffer” off Boy Noize’s forthcoming album “Power”:

And here I thought hearing “Waves” in its entirety on the Triple J while on the drive home tonight was cool enough… Erol Alkan is doing a sideshow on Friday 2nd October @ Sorry Grandma! Talk about a ripper way to get gee’d up for Parklife the next day. Support from Andee Frost, Knightlife, Ototlogic, Jason Martin, Ooh-EE and Bongmist.

Grab your tickets via Ticketmaster or through the gang at Fuzzy.

And for your visual and aural pleasure, here’s Erol and Boys Noize dropping their new single “Waves” at the recent Melt! Festival.

Sorry folks I completely let this one slip off the radar. Probably because the only news I heard about confirmed artists were the Beetroots and Chicane from my sources. That and I was unsure whether my trip back to the motherland was gonna be around December… Anyway, the lineup has been confirmed now and it looks to be pretty solid with the return of the ‘mau5 and the Italians. Anyway here’s you’re 2009 Stereosonic line-up:

• Deadmau5
• Axwell
• Fedde Le Grand
• John Dahlback
• The Crookers
• Surkin
• The Bloody Beetroots feat. MC Justin Pearson
• Miss Kittin & The Hacker
• Marco Carola
• Chicane
• Cut Copy DJs
• Drop The Lime
• Renaissance Man
• Alter Ego

• Umek
• Hudson Mohawke
• Tim Sweeney
• The Cobra Snake
• Kidda
• Juan Kidd/Jason Herd

Tickets go on sale August 20th so don’t muck about when that day rolls on through. So my fellow paparazzos (I think paparazzi is the correct plural term but meh…), are we ready to rock out?

… “Holiday”. Yep, the latest track from that boy in the corner, Dizzee Rascal. Next big club banger with that epic 90s rave sound. Like I’ve said before, 2009 is the 1990s all over again…
