As it turns out, JESSE JAMZ is an assistant to DESIGNER DRUGS, or so I read on twitter earlier today. I’m not exactly sure how that relationship works but his remix of “Drop Down” is diced quite nicely, leaving chunks to chew under the flash of a strobe.

MP3: Designer Drugs – Drop Down (Jesse Jamz remix)

You can grab the whole single from somewhere like beatport.

Make sure to check out the Designer Drugs latest Datamix too!

Several months back now, Elite Force ran a little competition on his facebook page asking for suggestions on new tracks to Revamp, with the winner grabbing one of the top-end  ‘Revamped’ packages from the Elite Force site and the winning entry came from Ivano Knight who suggested Midnight Juggernauts’ ‘Tombstone’. Well, grab the result below.

Honestly, the theme tonight is completely coincidental. That last post was quite something, hey?

Here’s a heavy bootleg from THE SEXINVADERS who add their own maximal flavour to BOYS NOIZE.

Boys Noize – Kontact Me (The Sexinvaders remix) by the sexinvaders

I have to admit, I don’t think I’ve heard the original DRAKE tune, but it doesn’t matter when there are bootlegs like these sent our way.

First, here’s a bootie remix from a local dj / promoter who has exploded in Winnipeg. RIC HARD has his finger in every party pie. The thing that makes this remix stand out is the piano that compliments the solitaire melancholic message in the track. It’s all juxtaposed with maximal punching bag of drums and synth targeting this is one both for the dancefloor and the bedroom.

MP3: Drake – Over (Ric Hard remixxx)

LA’s HYPER CRUSH take a slightly different approach. They take the sadness and smash it in the teeth with their dancefloor laser beams, transforming the tune into a sleazy electro banger. To top it off, they add their own rhymes.

The Montreal duo have been on top of things for a while, and I’ll be completely honest here, since “Droplet” and “Miam Miam” were let loose in the summer, I’ve been trigger happy with every track that has their name on it. There’s enough nostalgia in each of these tunes for a thirty-something-once-upon-a-time-raver (that’s me by the way) to, excuse me, fucking lose it. Add some of the best production of 2009 to the mix and well, it seems as though there are a million reasons to hail this release as the best ever. Really, ever.

Wait.

On Friday, February 5, 2010 the single got an official release on PLANT MUSIC with remixes from FELIX CARTAL and AUTOEROTIQUE. After hearing these mixes I went into immediate cardiac arrest. Basically, I died and somehow I’m living off of the single’s perpetual beat.

Grab the entire release on beatport. You won’t regret it.

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.

I know I just posted the latest from GTRONIC a couple days ago, but since BMKLTSCH RCRDS just sent the whole package, including the original, HOSTAGE, and STEREOHEROES mixes, I figured you might as well get a proper download out of it, right? So here’s that monster remix from  and two more deadly stompers!

Do yourself a favour and grab the 320s.

As a bonus, perhaps an incentive, here’s one you might have heard before. Electro clichés aside, this one lives up to its name. Really, it’s a disservice to play any of these in a pair of cans. At the very least, plug into your hifi at home and turn it up; better yet burn them onto a cd and demand your favourite dj to play them.
