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.

5EYA

Written by manalogue. Posted on August 25, 2010. Filed under indie, robotdisco, stuff my wife would like. Tagged , , , . No comments.

La Bombe is the brand new label from UK DJ/producer Sharooz. Launching with a simple goal, their sole mission is to release forward thinking dancefloor bombs, irrespective of genre.

The label’s latest release comes from sterling new talent 5EYA. Daniele Pianigiani aka 5EYA is probably best known as DJ partner to fellow Italian whizzkid Phonat. Together the two foolhardy sample slayers have singlehandedly reinvented nu-disco, mashing and merging styles with the click of a mouse. A stable of peaktime summer floors worldwide, 5EYA’s disco-tinged debut sits as comfortably in bigroom sets as it does in sunset sessions.

The single is released today on beatport with remixes from Sharooz and Tom Flynn. You can grab one cut below.

CHRISTOPH ANDERSSON

Christoph Andersson

CHRISTOPH ANDERSSON didn’t exactly have the upbringing associated with that of a robotdisco cyborg, yet at age 18 he stands poised to noodle his way into the playlist of many like-minded djs. Born in Washington D.C., Christoph time in Germany before relocating to New Orleans as a toddler. In the town long associated with either Jazz or Metal, Christoph was more or less left to his own musical devices which doesn’t really explain why or how  Christoph’s tight, funk influenced bass lines are instantly catchy. Early on Christoph reworked New Orleans legends like The Meters, hit “Fire On the Bayou” into an up-tempo secret weapon for southern dance floors.

His melodies make any robot swoon.

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 - 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.

WHITE ARROWS + RAC

Written by manalogue. Posted on August 11, 2010. Filed under indie, remix, robotdisco, stuff my wife would like. Tagged , . 2 Comments.

WHITE ARROWS‘ debut EP, Hearts and Lungs, is slated for a late August release, to coincide with the group’s 5 week residency at Spaceland. Containing original material as well as remixes by the likes of Tim Kasher (OK Go), RAC (Remix Artist Collective), and Kevin Seaton (Mad Decent), this work has already seen its tracks licensed by shows such as HBO’s How to Make it in America and MTV’s The City.

Coming Or Going (RAC Mix) Cover Art

Word has it the RAC remix has been penned into Episode 709 of Entourage (a guilty pleasure for my wife and me) as well. I have no idea where it’ll appear but because it’s so memorable it seems best for the end credits. The remix takes off where the angular tune starts, but processes it through robotdisco filters and deep kicks.

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.

CASE BY CASE + LEDOOM

Case by Case - Everyone” width=

CASE BY CASE delights us with this moving and emotional story of love, passion, and discovery. With a background in indie bands, this pioneer shows his strengths in production, singing, and songwriting. Get lost with us in this drifting yet forceful ballad.

A slew of genre bending remixers come forth to mold and warp this beautiful original into some dance oriented creations. VELCRO CITY RECORDS artists like GORDON FREEMAN, LEDOOM, and DJ VANISH come heavy with very different directions and we are excited to introduce MOLEMAN with a smooth liquid rework.

Here though is the wobbly remix by LeDoom. At first I was a bit put off by the vocals, but the wobble takes care of that tout suite.
