CHECK YR PULSE


Wednesday, December 16, 2009

I seriously need to work on some self-promotion. ha. Don’t we all. THE SHAKE started a weekly night of dancing. LOTEK and I are trying something a bit different with CHECK YR PULSE here in Winnipeg by catering to the origins of electronic dance music. The opening night was a hit but last week I think the frigid temperature got the best of most people.

Anyway, this week we’ve got some great djs. KHEMLAB and CHRIS KOMUS will warm the dancefloor with some techno, minimal, and tech house (or haus if you’re feeling the German roots).

I’m not sure what I’ll play but it might involve something like this bootleg from NUNZI.

METERHEAD REMIXES


Tuesday, October 13, 2009

The last time METERHEAD sent material this way we were just getting into the swing of summer so this latest package has been received with the glee of a coffee addict who’s been without its joyous flavour for three months. It’s not as if the duo from Los Angeles have been slacking – if you’ve read these pages you would have known that other projects have been keeping them busy.

Among the three remixes is a melancholy version of ACID GIRLS and FRANKMUSIK’s summer anthem. METERHEAD appropriately muted the bright colours of the original with something a bit dark and brooding which is suitable for the loss of daylight in these northern parts.

MP3: Acid Girls feat Frankmusik – Wake Up (METERHEAD remix)

They also take on WALE and LADY GAGA’s club tune, keeping the energy high but manipulate it for those who would shy far away from that kind of fodder. You might remember Wale from his version of D.A.N.C.E. which incidentally was chosen by JUSTICE as the best (out of the hundreds) of bootlegs they heard.

MP3: Wale feat Lady Gaga – Chillin (METERHEAD remix)

If I might dare say, none of these tunes would distinctly fall into any of METERHEAD’s previous patterns of production. There’s some familiarity with their work for THE BLACK LIPS, however. It’s partially due to the undertones of electro and grinding synth combined with the hip hop influence from GZA.

GASHUPS


Thursday, October 8, 2009

I don’t know how many times I’ve heard “Ghosts n Stuff” over the past couple weeks. It seems like every time I spark up my iPhone, some version of this tune manages to shake its way into the playlist. Maybe it’s some sort of charmic action for copping out and leaving during DEADMAU5‘ set last week.

Well, here’s one I that’s fresh from Bedford, UK via GASHUPS who blend IAN CAREY’s “Get Shaky” and well, the smash hit mentioned above into a club smasher everyone will love.

BURNS + DEADMAU5


Tuesday, October 6, 2009

A week ago my mate LOTEK and I had the pleasure of seeing BURNS and DEADMAU5 when they were in Winnipeg. While the opening disc jockey warmed things up I asked the promoter if I could say hi to Burns and thank him for the guestlist spot. I didn’t make arrangements for an interview so I didn’t bother bringing anything to record the chat but as it turned out, I really wish I did. The 23-year-old remained refreshingly candid, and his personality reflected a casualness normally reserved for close friends This was the first correspondence I’ve had with Burns personally, but by the time he had to go downstairs it felt as though we had a number of previous encounters. The conversation drifted from his upcoming album, to remix work (that can’t be mentioned on these pages…yet), to the current state of djing and clubbing, how Deadmau5 wanted to Burns to tour with him, and how his working relationship with his label, 21-12 and LINUS LOVES formed.

Burns has also been extra busy in the studio turning out mixes for Ladyhawke, Frankmusik and Jack Splash feat Missy Elliot with amazing results. I hope to be able share some of them soon for now here’s what I can give you, followed by a review of the show.

MP3: The Toxic Avenger – Toxic is Dead (Burns remix)

Give Burns love from somewhere like beatport.

REPUBLIC is, without a doubt, the best sounding club in this city – another reason this show kept its appeal despite falling on a Tuesday. The early week show didn’t stop hundreds of people from getting their party on, many of whom did it with their jaws clenched and pupils dilated so it became quite clear early on that this night would be a bit bonkers. By the time Burns made his way to the stage the venue had filled up nicely – something I hadn’t seen in a long time.

A little while earlier Burns noticed the opening dj laying down some really heavy material which we both thought was odd for how early it was. We discussed flow and etiquette and came to the same conclusion. For better or worse, djs can and will play anything they want now. While there are still some who plan the direction and track list for the entire set, Burns confessed that at most he would select a track to open with and go into a set with a direction in mind, but nothing was ever concrete. Picking up on this, Burns opened with some housey material that sparkled with a little 80s glitz, playing some of his own tunes and remixes. He kept the dancefloor moving with a dynamic set that flowed from nu disco to indie-dance-whathaveyou, and ended by preparing the crowd for Deadmau5, laying into some heavy thunder. One point to note too – Burns isn’t a laptop dj. He played a flawless set entirely on CDJs.

Before I knew it, Burns was done and sound technicians had moved his gear to make room for Deadmau5. I was ready to go, but stuck around to see what was going to happen.

When Deadmau5 started, the crowd went bananas. He immediately gave them what the wanted to hear but I thought it was a bit odd that he played hit after hit to open things up. He did it well, using Ableton (I think) and a Native Instruments Maschine and a Lemur by Jazz Mutant. His Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger bootleg was the first track I heard by the Canadian so I was happy to hear it as it was intended to be played, loud.

I really wasn’t that into it though so I left. (Plus there’s the fact that I have a demanding day job that needed my full capabilities at 8:00 in the morning that pulled at my conscious.) I heard afterward from a number of people that Deadmau5 kind of blew his load early with the heavier material and progressed into a bit of a techno set. That would have been great to see, although for this old man it wasn’t suitable for a Tuesday night.

COPYCAT


Tuesday, August 4, 2009

Hello. Remember me? Sorry it’s been a while.

Veteran producer and mashup artist COPYCAT brings you this tasty gem that should have the girls dripping, something. Drinks maybe? Get yer mind out of the gutter, although yer right. The warm filters a la Fred Falke combined with pre-indie 80s creamypants angular pop of Duran Duran is enough to melt anyone’s danger zone into sticky parts.

One of my absolute favorites during APC’s two-year existence is without a doubt Little Boots. We were quite early picking up La Hesketh and pretty soon her many unofficial tunes, remixes and long mixes became a staple on APC. We simply worshipped her and adored her impeccable taste in music, exemplified with numerous quirky covers and a BRILLIANT posse of remixers and producers by her side. Some days we could even post several of them in a row – in fact, it became kind of an challenge to scout new Little Boots related tracks and post them first…

Finally, when the big official debut release arrived, the magic was gone. Her first single was bland – and that’s me being kind. The rest of the new material on the album didn’t really impress me either. So I started to lose interest and found other obsessions. But when it was time to decide on a track for the AudioPorn Central anniversary, I couldn’t really see myself remixing anyone else than Little Boots. And just to make it interesting, I went for the aforementioned crap single – albeit in a terrific, wistful 80s infused remix by the ever so brilliant Fred Falke. Here it is accompanied by Duran Duran’s classic “Girls on Film”. My first mashup in ages. I’d almost forgot how fun it is to make them…

Happy birthday APC! And Simon, my brother, thank you! For everything.

Monday, July 6, 2009

THE SHAKE


Monday, June 8, 2009

Every Friday Lotek and I produce and host a weekly radio show on 92.9 KICK FM. The initial format for the show was all remixes-of-songs-you-probably-know and mashups but more often than not we play a lot of new electro. Lately, the wobble gets me moving so I play as much bass music as possible. It’s funny, I still think it sounds like UK garage / speed garage / UKG. Since a few of the tunes played tonight were sent to this blog, I figured I’d make a huge post of that material…time is super limited these days. (The material without download links I bought / don’t have permission to share.)

Classixx - I'll Get You

I grabbed this one from beatport. It’s a wicked summer house tune.

01. CLASSIXX feat Jeppe – I’ll Get You (Original mix)

Windowlicker

I’ve always been a huge Aphex Twin fan. ZUCKR’s remix modernizes the tune and tweaks it for the dancefloor.

02. Aphex Twin – Windowlicker (Zuckr’s Breakbeat Chop mix)

TEVAR does a simple but clever A+B mashup. Ace material really. Normally I try not to play two of the same tracks in a set, never mind back to back. I thought these went well together though.

03. Aphex Twin vs M.I.A. – Windowlickin’ (Tevar mashup)

Kiss

GIVE ME A KISS are some of my new fav’s. This track is so Justice and so good! Wicked build up and perfect for an opening set.

05. No1Else – Cocaine Combo (removed by request)

Trouble & Bass - Scion A/V

More wobble. I love this tune and shamelessly played it on the show before.

07. Dolby Anol – Puppies (Blende remix)

08. Bloc Party – Signs (Armand Van Helden remix)

This track is so subtle and kind of draws me in by surprise with its minimal club wobble combo.

09. Cubic Zirconia – Fuck Work (Proper Villains and Jubilee remix)

Stanton Warriors

When I lived in Brighton, I was lucky enough to see STANTON WARRIORS nearly every month. They put on a great show and their production is incredible and so adaptable. This one’s off of the Stanton Sessions Vol. 3 compilation.

Both sides of this single are incredible. The flip is a bit cheeky, but everyone likes hearing it.

11. Wolfgang Gartner – The Grey Agenda (Original remix)

12. Dance Area – 24/7 (Correct Effect remix)

Pance Party

For some reason I had doubts about PANCE PARTY. Perhaps it was because they sent their tunes as M4As. Maybe they’ll read this and send Manalogue MP3 replacements?

KEYS N KRATES


Thursday, June 4, 2009

Keys N Krates Jazz Winnipeg

KEYS N KRATES are like nothing you’ve ever seen before. With their live instrumentation, turntable manipulation and the progressive technology of electronic music, Keys N Krates dramatically up’d the remix ante. Consisting of certified turntablist and party-rocker DJ Jr Flo (EH! Team DJ’s), the ever soulful Matisse on keys, and hard-hitting Adam Tune on drums, Keys N Krates formed in 2007 to collectively reinterpret and breathe new life into music.

We’re lucky enough to have them play at the JAZZ WINNIPEG FESTIVAL. Keep in mind, these productions represent what these guys to LIVE, with a instruments, turntables and technologeeeeeeeeeeeee!
