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.

KAVINSKY + BREAKBOT + ROBOTAKI + SAWAGII

Kavinsky

KAVINSKY is back and about to drop his latest single “Nightcall” on September 10th via the legendary French electronic imprint RECORD MAKERS. We’re excited to offer you not one, but three remixes of the single, representative of the French-filtered robotdisco. It’s sensual, epic and romantic, exactly like you’d expect.

Produced by Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo of Daft Punk and mixed by SebastiAn, the track finds the spooky, distorted, zombie vocals of Kavinsky perfectly counterbalanced by the sultry purr of CSS’ front kitten Lovefoxxx.

The remix package for this release comes courtesy of secretive and emblematic figures. Kavinsky & Record Makers organized a remix contest which ended with 533 entries- the winners being Robotaki and SAWAGii’s remixes, both included in the digital version, as well as the great work of the funky new Ed Banger sensation Breakbot.

MP3: Kavinsky – Nightcall (SAWAGii’s Revenge remix)

The legend of Kavinsky is an interesting one – the strory goes that he died in a car crash in 1986, whilst driving his beloved Testarossa. He re-appeared as a ZOMBIE in 2005, with his 12-inch, Teddy Boy. Since then, he has shown up all around the globe, playing his music to humans. Crowds gathered to witness the miracle: despite being dead, Kavinsky was still alive. In 2007, he released his second 12-inch, ‘1986’. This is when his French robot mates in Daft Punk invited him to join their Alive Tour, and A-Trak put together an American Tour in his now repaired Testarossa. After rediscovering the world with his red eyes, Kavinsky retreated to his base camp to work on his debut album. Now, the zombie is striking back. After months of studio work on his forthcoming album, he & Record Makers have decided to release “Nightcall” as an apéritif.

DJ AGENT 86

Light Speed Recordings

Taking his cue from the late 80′s acid-house classics, “Microdot” is a rollin’, 303-drenched, synth-monster with heavyweight kicks & a sleazy bassline. Also featured in this release is a proper uptempo, disco-house reworking from those masters-of-the-bass-guitar, DROP OUT ORCHESTRA, and a hyped, funky-breaks banger from the unstoppable NICK THAYER.

The single is released on August 27th, but the folks at LIGHT SPEED RECORDINGS let DJ AGENT 86‘s radio edit.

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.

Clubfeet - Gold on Gold

Clubfeet hail from Melbourne, Australia and their sweet poppy, 80s themed riffs have been dominating aural palettes of new and old fans alike. You may remember them from last year’s “Teenage Suicide” single. They’re debut long player, “Gold on Gold” recently dropped on New York’s PLANT MUSIC. To celebrate the record’s immediate success the label is giving away five tracks. Check out a couple below and after the jump, click to get them and grab the entire album from iTunes.

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.

BREAKDOWN + DANNY TENAGLIA + M.I.A.

Written by manalogue. Posted on August 10, 2010. Filed under electro, house, remix. Tagged , , , , . No comments.

I actually meant to post this weeks ago and I swear the latency didn’t have anything to do with Danny Tenaglia (even though I thought he was quite a cheese monkey back in the day).

BREAKDOWN do this one up proper -- with thumpy kick drums and a drop nearly big enough to knock your teeth out -- this remix will make it into many peak time sets.

If that wasn’t enough, the LA siblings also sent along an electro fire remix of M.I.A.

No wait, there’s more…but I thought I posted this already. Perhaps I’m dreaming about blogging? Anyway, you can grab the entire “Ice Cream” EP from Breakdown’s SoundCloud page, including remixes from Hoaxx and Lovestuff. It’s a stellar package and despite it’s title, it’s going to heat things up. Ahem. Watch the video.

Dunez

Here’s a hybrid of tech house and indiesomethingoranother. I’ve never imagined anything like it, and to be quite honest, would have never put the sounds together but DUNEZ does this well.

THEM JEANS

Written by manalogue. Posted on July 22, 2010. Filed under electro, house, indie, remix, robotdisco, stuff my wife would like, tech house. Tagged , , , , , , , . No comments.

THEM JEANS unified the east and west. As a DJ and promoter in L.A. he’s thrown massive parties but is also affiliated with PLANT MUSIC, one of the best labels to sprout up over the last few years. Maybe that’s presumptuous to say, but you can’t disagree with his output.

About seven months ago, he dropped his remix of of MUNK‘s “Down in L.A.” which is rich with robotdisco hooks and a bassline so sweet you want to lick it off the floor. This one’s a mover, especially for the ladies. This week though, Plant released the smash single from Munich’s Munk (aka Mathias Modica). The track was released on GOMMA last year but Plant has a whole new set of remixes including Fantastadon, Them Jeans, Grand Theft and Dan-OH.

We are happy to offer the all new and superb Them Jeans remix for to post for download

MP3: Munk – Down in L.A. (Them Jeans remix)

Grab the rest from beatport, iTunes, or Amazon.

Them Jeans

Also signed to Finland’s TOP BILLIN’ Them Jeans’ “Balloons” is his first EP with them. It’s a funky-styled house number that has a lead weird enough to make you scrunch up your nose and think, what? Nevermind that though, this single pounds. Remixes come from fellow LA boys CAMO UFOS (Mike B & Nate Day), Mad Decent’s own (and Diplo’s studio engineer) DJA and the next big thing in tropical beats, LOL BOYS (don’t let that name fool you, these dudes are for real for real).
