The title should be mostly RELIGION since they’ve sent a schwack of tunes this way, but we’ll pretend this post is all about their latest, a grinding electro monster with a little kuduro spice flavoured with a light Italo sweetness.

One of the reasons (honestly, there are many!) there have been fewer posts is because a mate and I started a weekly. (LOTEK and MANALOGUE have been tag-teaming as THE SHAKE for a few years now.) I feel as though I’m only putting in half the amount of time needed to get this night off the ground, but that’s all I can give at the moment considering other commitments that are a bit more pressing, paying the mortgage for example. If you’re wondering, blogging doesn’t really make any money, well I haven’t figured out exactly how to do it anyway. (Tips are welcome.)

Back to the post. This week I’m pumped to host JAMALL KNIGHT and BERBS. Winnipeg is saturated with djs, and I’d be hard pressed to find any jock in this city I like more than the former. Perhaps it’s because Jamall Knight plays like I/we do – which is a bit all over the place, and every time I’ve seen him behind the decks he consistently drifts to the likes of Proxy, and other noisy producers. Also, big thanks to our freshly minted vj, MRGHOSTY who gives everyone something interesting to look at when they’re dancing or not. This guy’s incredible. I’m totally looking forward to tomorrow!

Like every week though, I have no idea what I’ll lay down but perhaps it might include a schmorasborg like the one below.

Isn’t it incredible that artists like WOLFGANG GARTNER are remixing super pop acts? Like what? In Mr. Gartner’s latest effort it’s difficult not to hear the influence of some of his previous work. Exploding spherical kick drums and licks from a Zelda soundtrack saturate one of London’s newest hearthrobs – MIKA. It all comes accross a bit mindless. I’m not saying it’s bad, infact I really like the tune – but I try to imagine where this track would be played and I can’t quite figure it out. Perhaps, the answer isn’t specific, rather it’s a tune so catchy, yet so full of bass and bounce it could be played everywhere. Why don’t you try it and get back to me with the results.

MP3: Mika – Blame It On The Girls (Wolfgang Gartner’s Dry dub)

I’m not exactly sure what to call this, indie-minded electro something perhaps? MEAT KATIE rubs some heavy bass and subtle breaks over catchy vocal hooks that sink into dancefloor psyche. It’s a little different from what Lot 49 usually puts out so they thought they would just treat you for a free giveaway. The track is a cheeky Meat Katie refix of a track originally written by breakthrough Australian duo FRIENDS OF MINE – one half of which is Lot49 recording artist Jono Fernandes who is most certainly a friend of ours.

Here’s a remix of their recent single. INFERNAL DEVICES cozied-up the remix with some warm analogue synth giving the tune a bit of a paradox between the harmonies and the lyrical content. It’s a little melancholy served with your lonely cup of hot cocoa.

I like singles with variety. That said, my wallet doesn’t like them so much because I end up buying too many versions of the same track. CICADA may put you in a similar situation. For the most part, I’d say the single and remixes fall into the realm of robotdisco. The production results in shiny dancefloor electronics for androids who may or may not have problems with white powder. That’s besides the point really. “One Beat Away” released on Critical Mass, gets the remix treatment from Cicada themselves, as well as ARNO COST, and KELEVRA, who’s stompy rework gets my vote for the best in the package. The track is also remixed by Aaron Gilbert from Cicada also does some deluxe polishing.

Come party with me & my crew at Foufounes Électriques! on November 13th for KAP BAMBINO!

We all know it’s one thing to be a wizard in the studio but it takes a little something else to get in front of a crowd and just let go.

So, the previous post I went on about the fertility in this city; cold breeds creativity and so on. Here’s another gestational Winnipegger.

MIKEYSHHH (aka Mike B) runs a weekly that could stand as one of the best in the country. (Now if only I could ever get to it…that’s a different story). GOODFORM has been going strong for years, even after an extended hiatus when the crew had to find a new venue.

Mike’s latest effort floats lightly through the air like leaves falling in the autumn sun. Sure it helps that the original is by PHOENIX, but this cut will warm any Winnipegger in the dead of winter.

DIM MAK is proud to present the release of Fischerspooner’s new single “Supply and Demand”, out on November 10 and FISCHERSPOONER will be doing a DJ set at DIM MAK TUESDAYS on the evening of the release.

When my wife and I met, we bonded over Fischerspooner. I’m not sure if it sealed the deal for her, but the fact that she was such a huge fan of Casey and Warren gave me a bit of a chub. Think about it – this night could be the making of eternal love. If you’re in Hollywood, head over to Cinespace and check it out.

Local hero MIKEY MMMUSCLES put together a string of shows for the latest (and greatest in my opinion) Winnipeg music festival, POP! ETC. Tomorrow, VITAMINSFORYOU – the full band – is in town with dj sets from locals LEBEATO and MIKE B to start things off right.
