Here’s a bit of a rushed mix I did for THE SHAKE, a weekly radio show LOTEK and I do every Friday night on KICK FM. Lotek and I are both out of town this week, hence the mix. It starts off with a bunch of robotdisco jams and gets into some house-flavoured breaks and ends with nu disco and tech house.

CHROMEO + CHRISTIAN MARTIN

Don't Turn the Lights On

There’s a part of me that feels guilty for posting previous versions of the latest CHROMEO single, but let’s forget that shall we?

CHRISTIAN MARTIN is one of my favourite producers. If you’re unfamiliar with him, I’d say you better educate yourself with him and others in the San Francisco bass crew under DIRTY BIRD RECORDS. (Incidentally, a great place to start with the Dirty Bird education is the “Five Years of Dirtybird” compilation.) The label is responsible for some of the best house music on the planet and like this remix, it’s always deep and rich and meant for dim spaces. Indeed, don’t turn the lights on.

Keys N Krates

Without a doubt, KEYS N KRATES live remixing is the future of dance music. Their performances can’t be topped since they do everything, well, live -- keyboards, drums, and turntablism. It’s simple and obvious yet they’re the first to do it. So why then haven’t they blown up? They’re about to so don’t sleep on them and catch them while you can.

Check out these videos and jump to the download below.

SANGERS & RA + CHEMICAL BROTHERS + DRAKE

Are you enjoying the resurgence of breaks as much as I am? Here’s the first original from SANGERS & RA, who drop bass more than your older sister drops her pants.

Sangers & Ra feat. MC SirReal – Nasty (Original Mix) [AVAILABLE NOW @ BEATPORT] by Sangers and Ra

Grab the single from beatport.

I thought I heard enough Drake to buy some champagne and spinny rims, but this tasty bootleg from Brisbane’s SANGERS & RA will let me embrace my inner wigga a little longer. Kidding of course, mostly because I’ve never been a wigga and this tune doesn’t focus on the vocals.

BEAUCHAMP + JPEG

Beauchamp

It’s a new beginning for Winnipeg’s BEAUCHAMP, kind of. He’s releasing his latest single, ‘Pigeons’ as a free digital download in the near future & it will include remixes from some of Canada’s finest up-and-comers. Winnipeg’s JPEG has done up a nice mix as an early bonus for the release.

BEAUCHAMP – Pigeons (JPEG Remix) by planetshhh

Also known as MIKE B of GOODFORM fame, it seems as though the local promoter and DJ has his fingers in everything good this city has to offer. Last week Goodform waved good-bye with the departure of Mr. Rob Vilar who retired his Thursday night residency at the best weekly Winnipeg had. With Rob’s departure Mike B thought it was only fitting to retire the Goodform name as well.

Mike B and Thursday night parties at the Lo will go on however. The official re-launch of the night (with a brand new name) will take place September 02 – but the party will party going in the meantime NIGHT BY NIGHT. This week, DJ CO-OP serves as the special guest.

ARCADE FIRE + CHRISTIAN TV

Arcade Fire - The Suburbs (Christain TV remix)

As ARCADE FIRE‘s latest long-player rises in the charts there are bound to be a few remixes. Here’s one from CHRISTIAN TV who bootlegs the title track of the album. It’s a blissed out, atmospheric number with some clear dubstep influences that floats in the air like an angel with tired, heavy wings.

CHROMEO + AEROPLANE

Could there be a better marriage of robotdisco lovers? AEROPLANE adds some swank to the already oversexified Chromeo single.

It’s been a few minutes (years actually) since CHROMEO released their last long player. “Fancy Footwork” was full of nu disco kitch and it sounds as though P-Thugg and Dave1 haven’t abandoned their roots entirely. “Business Casual” however, is slightly more serious. You can pre-order various packages of the album, which comes with immediate downloads here.

Oh, and if you missed it, here’s another one you’ll love courtesy of MIDNIGHT CONSPIRACY, which is by far the best remix of this tune to date.

DVAS

Dietzche V. and the Abominable Snowman’s French touch will take you on a dangerous and sexy journey of disco, funk, and soul with their bounce-heavy set of emotional and summer-y anthems. DVAS have quickly garnered the attention of electro dance devotees across the globe with mixtapes and remixes. They may share some attributes with the space sounds of Daft Punk and pop legacy of Hall And Oates, but Toronto’s DVAS bring intense originality and innovation to up the ante on dance floor pop jams.

iTunes made the new single by DVAS “Society” their Single Of The Week, YES!

VALERNA + FELIX CARTAL + AND A SHITLOAD OF OTHERS

Written by manalogue. Posted on July 19, 2010. Filed under cancon, electro, epic, remix, robotdisco. Tagged , , , . 1 Comment.

I admit, sometimes (okay, most of the time) I’m at a loss for words describing the music you hear on this here blog. During the day I work hard to translate health and social policy research into language most people can understand, then I share this information with people who should care.

Listening to the 50+ daily submissions we receive gives me a reprieve from office life, but at the same time finding ways to tell you about these tunes becomes daunting, especially because these releases deserve a huge amount of credit, free of cliche and the tired descriptions.

Here then is my apology for talking shit. Sorry.

Valerna

VALERNA sent us a whack load of original material and choice remixes they’ve done about a week ago and I’ve been listening to them all quite a bit since then. At first, these tunes drowned in the volume of material coming our way. Tonight they made their way to the surface – and I sincerely hope they make it to the top of your aural pleasures and into your beatport downloads.

Honestly, I’m not normally in the habit of reposting stuff that’s already been posted, however DUBLUM RECORDS just gave the thumbs up to share the LEBEATO remix of “Checkin’ Out My Pumas” so click, click. The remix is an electro stutter perfect for skipping down the street in the summer heat. Let’s hop to it, shall we?
