Oh geez. I wish I could go to the BROOKLYN ELECTRONIC MUSIC FESTIVAL. I’m sure you do too. Here’s one reason…

My inbox can’t seem to escape blinding electro tonight. Here’s a hot stepper from ELI SMITH with a remix from TRUE PSEUDO. There’s not much different between the Eli Smith original and the DJ Version except length. They’re both bangers. True Pseudo beefs up the beat with a small break and their freshly ground electro blend. Don’t sleep on any of these.

Look out for more from True Pseudo – they’re dropping their next single at the beginning of June with remixes coming from Designer Drugs and Pilotpriest.
Here’s one that I’ve unintentionally sat on for a couple days but I figured since DESIGNER DRUGS are in town on May 22nd there’s an even better reason to post another remix from the exploding New York knob twiddlers. Their version of N.A.S.A.‘s latest is a wobbly bass bomb sure to blast party goers from their seats.

Make sure to catch this show (or one in your neighbourhood). It’s going to be sick.
SPENCER PRODUCT just released his latest on COCO MACHETE. The original is a loud distorted mess, kinda like the producer himself.

MP3: Spencer Product – We Bite (Original mix)
I dunno. Seems like I get a new remix from DESIGNER DRUGS almost weekly. NYC must be treating him well and to prove it, the NYC duo run their grinders over this track for more maximal wumph wumph.

MP3: Spencer Product – We Bite (Designer Drugs NY Nite mix)
TRONIK YOUTH takes the tune in a bit of a different direction with his robotdisco flair. The synth work is full of orange and yellows and puppies and bunny rabbits which provides some juxtaposition against the lyrical content.

It Came From The Blog is drenched in the terror electro of Fukkk Offf, Kill The Noise & Designer Drugs and the club wrecking din of Le Castle Vania, Cobra Krames and NROTB. Loads of others too. The project was started by BUZZARD GULTCH and his friends and was meant to highlight bloghouse and showcase the talent spread through the internetz.
Here are a few choice numbers you’ve heard before.

First, Designer Drugs took a stab, now here’s another remix for RED BLOODED WOMEN‘s cover of the classic Depeche Mode track.
This time around, HEADS WE DANCE focus on the etheral timelessness and orchestral synth. Somehow they still make this sound more like an Erasure tune than anything else. Amazing. Here’s a thought: maybe the next HWD project should be “Tails We Cover Erasure.”

Here’s a postmodern twist. It’s a Depeche Mode cover done by RED BLOODED WOMEN remixed by DESIGNER DRUGS. Crazy huh? Their new single, a cover of the seminal Depeche Mode classic, was originally conceived for a live show for Electronically Yours. The response to the performance was immense, leaving the girls with no choice but to get in the studio and record it with hot production team ‘Trademark’ (Foals, Chicks on Speed). They’ve created a fitting and exhilarating tribute to the original. I like it when I get things like this – makes me feel all warm and cuddly on the inside. The remix however, makes me wanna dance.

I don’t know too much about AVIAN X but these DESIGNER DRUGS remixes are effing deadly!

The vocals do have a tinge of Madge but the production is all Designer Drugs: superbassy and eq’d perfectly.
Every Friday LOTEK and I whittle our favourite tunes of the week down to a single hour’s worth of material for our show on 92.9 KICK FM. It’s not easy considering the volume of tunes spread across the interwebs these days. Aside from arsenal of dancefloor oriented mashups and remixes I try to play cuts that would fit into the KICK playlists on their own which is why I was happy to hear something familiar the other day on WINNIPEG’S NEW SOUND.
This one hasn’t reached the KICK 40 yet but maybe now that I’m bringing a little attention to the tune, the boss might find more merit in it. Probably not. You’re best bet then, is to listen to THE SHAKE (facebook group) every Friday night for a weekly dose of dancefloor heat. From 8-9 Lotek and I (Manalogue) provide an excellent warmup to the weekend where you can hear tunes like the ones below from LA RIOTS and DESIGNER DRUGS.
MP3: Jupiter One – Countdown (LA Riots radio edit)
DESIGNER DRUGS + JESSE JAMZ
As it turns out, JESSE JAMZ is an assistant to DESIGNER DRUGS, or so I read on twitter earlier today. I’m not exactly sure how that relationship works but his remix of “Drop Down” is diced quite nicely, leaving chunks to chew under the flash of a strobe.
