So I thought I'd return from my extended hiatus with a brand new mix. But first, there are a few releases I'm anxiously awaiting. Balance 015 mixed by Will Saul. We're all familiar with the Balance Series by now so not much to say really except October 19th cannot come soon enough.
Sounds of the Tenth Season. Techno king Sven Vath is back for the tenth annual edition of his series highlighting the best tracks of the past Ibiza season. Last year's disc was excellent and I can only expect more of the same skillful track selection and mixing.
Fabric 48 mixed by Radio Slave. Fabric releases these mix cds every other month and last September's was compiled and spun by Radio Slave. Full of dark and deep tech house, it's a superb mix in the series. Well worth checking out.
This week's mix features some light house and tech tunes, a perfect accompaniment to the cold, rainy and snowy weather those of us in the northeast have been subjected to. The unseasonal climate has drawn me to these soft, melancholic tracks. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
Tracklist 1. GoingEasy - Audio Werner 2. La Balada Tzigana feat. Irina Sierra Bravo (Mike Shannon's Haunted Mix) - Andrea Florito 3. Det - Daso & Pawas 4. Serena - Mirko Loko
Here is a short video interview with Sébastien Léger, a blog favourite. He discusses his shift in style characterized by his releases over the past year and his disdain for electro, which with I agree.
Seriously, just download these to preview them, then go buy the vinyls or whatever, its worth your money.
If you want something much more energetic, something that has tentatively re-lit my faith in electro, check out these Glitch Mob tracks. Seriously heavy stuff, absolutely brilliant:
Wow its been a while since my last post, does anyone even read these any more? Its still a nice exercise in philanthropy, given that the stuff I post is mega genius and you all should have it. I must let it speak for itself though. I've prepared a massive post to make up for my absence, I hope you can forgive me.
First we got some electo-house from Mr. Elan and a heavy metal-electro track from Leger;
SO I guess this is what I do on this friday night...might as well, it keeps me from drinking while on antibiotics. For the journalistically-minded among you, check out what I do during the day time: Editor's Weblog.
Shout out if you're in Paris and wanna go see some DJs...I think there's some good stuff comin through.
You know I've been waiting for this song since Dada Life put out their last mix. Seems like it's been a million years! So glad I finally got my hands on it. Now that I have it though, I'll pass it onto you...so enjoy :D
Otherwise tho, here's some super sweet Fukkk Offf the guit passed to me. If you haven't picked up the album yet, Love Me Hate Me Kiss Me Kill Me, it's soooooo necessary. Go get it right now. It's got the classics 'Rave is King' and 'Phantom' plus a bunch of sweet new tracks too. In the meantime, check these out. 'I Give You Bass' is a real winner.
Finally, here's some super-indie goodness. Yacht is supercool, plus they really like triangles. Do you like triangles? I like triangles. Guess we all have something in common, so download Yatch.
Hell no. At least, I hope not...its gettin cold here in Paris. Luckily I'm off tomorrow for the south, to the least populated region in France. Wooo! Then I'm gonna pick wine grapes and get drunk.
A little while back we got some new tracks from Flak Attack (who has gained significant deserved popularity recently), so here they are so check them out:
Sup sup y'all? I swear to god that Dada Life can read my mind. This mix is amazing, all my favorite tracks in one place! Heck yeah!!! You must listen to this immediately. As an added bonus, I've thrown in as many of the individual tracks I could find. Dada Life does an stellar job on their new Geurilla Fart remixes so I can't wait to grab those tracks when they hit the interweb. Don't forget to scroll down too, cuz I've also hit you up with some super sweet Vitalic releases.
Mirko Loko is the latest addition to Cadenza's already impressive roster, and is touring Europe to promote his new album Seventynine. I got to see him DJ at Rex in Paris and it was quite something, check out his unique sound (that takes some getting used to but it grows on you):
Hey Dudes, Life in Mtl is same old, but I'm going to Mexico the 11th. Woo, I mean Wahwah. I'm excited to get out. Its going to be fun. Except my roommate predicted it, I'm coming back with swine flu. Fuck that I say, I'll have my hand sanitizer with me at all times. Anyway these are some new beats that you should listen. I admit some are old and some are new, but they are all pretty good. There is some techouse, minimal and electro. Check it!
By the way with the signing of Xabi Alonso that means (56+80+35+4{Granero}+4{Arbeloa)+30{xabi})=213 million euros. WTF? Its gonna be pretty funny if they dont win anything.
By the way H.O.S.H is playing on sunday at Piknik with Roux Soundsystem. I hope to see you all there.
for sure hope you enjoyed your day today a lot more than i did. yeah, today sucked balls. it all started last night at friends party...
i have a few drinks, getting super psyched for dj mehdi, and also meet this really cool guy (hottie!). so far, so good...so the peeps, the dreamboat and i all head off to the show.
we get there and dj mehdi is sooooo quality! i definitely recommend going to see him anytime. he plays a bunch of my favorite tracks, including the proxy remix of what you need (brilliant track by the way). at this point my night is totally bitchin so i thought, what the hell, i'll try get the hottie alone and maybe flirt a bit. we talk for a while and he seems interested. huzzah. i ask him to go for a walk (because trying to have a real conversation with someone in a club is about as easy as trying to fly an airplane through a snow storm)...he says yes (heck yeah!). we find a nice place to sit in the park and it's all smiles and cute looks. i'm thinkin this is a major score...
until this drunk dude shows up. he starts shouting "get out of my hood you fuckers!" "get the fuck out!"
i say "hey man, this is a public park, we can sit here if we want to."
he walks closer, still yelling this ridiculous stuff and threatening us, so i stand up and tell him, "hey man, fuck off. what's your problem anyway?"
prolly not the smartest thing i've ever done, but i was kinda drunk.
the dude rushes me and hits me broad side the head. it doesn't hurt too much, but first there's this high pitched noise, then silence...i can't hear anything out of my left ear.
i couldn't believe it! i'm super sooo pissed he hit me i say, "what kinda fuckin ass hole hits a girl? what the fuck!"
at this point the dreamboat jumps in, but before he can do anything the drunken ass takes a swing and punches the him right in the nose. then tackles him to the ground. what happens next i can't really remember exactly but within a few seconds a security guard shows up and stops the dude from seriously beating on my would be protector. the cops show up at almost the same time and manage to arrest the ass hole.
four hours later the cutie and i leave the hospital after being checked over by a doctor for police records and giving our statements. it's six in the morning and i still can't hear a thing from my left ear.
twenty four hours later (right now) i still can't hear any low frequency sounds and it's driving me nuts, argh!!!! how am i supposed to survive when i can only hear half the bass???? so yeah, today sucked
the upside is that i got to spend a bunch of time with the dreamboat, lol. he got all super protective and cute and really really sweet...walked me home and everything. maybe i should get punched on first dates more often, heh.
in the hopes that tomorrow will be better i'm posting some Hey Today!
ze Germans really know how to crank out some quality music and this stuff is pure, unadulterated electro goodness. hope you enjoy it as much as I do. show em some love on beatport too.
