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.

SANGERS & RA + CHEMICAL BROTHERS + DRAKE

Are you enjoying the resurgence of breaks as much as I am? Here’s the first original from SANGERS & RA, who drop bass more than your older sister drops her pants.

Sangers & Ra feat. MC SirReal – Nasty (Original Mix) [AVAILABLE NOW @ BEATPORT] by Sangers and Ra

Grab the single from beatport.

I thought I heard enough Drake to buy some champagne and spinny rims, but this tasty bootleg from Brisbane’s SANGERS & RA will let me embrace my inner wigga a little longer. Kidding of course, mostly because I’ve never been a wigga and this tune doesn’t focus on the vocals.

DEEPAK SHARMA + DIETER KRAUSE + AMBIVALENT

Written by manalogue. Posted on August 24, 2010. Filed under minimal, remix, stuff my wife would like, tech house, techno. Tagged , , , . No comments.

Let’s be honest here, the blog world is a tad saturated with electro and frankly, electronic music needs to get back to it’s roots.

Deepak Sharma + Dieter Krause

Thankfully there are producers like DEEPAK SHARMA and DIETER KRAUSE who consistently turn out techno and tech house to keep me moving in the dim light of those long nights. Setting a new standard, New York City’s HIDDEN RECORDINGS offers a new release that demands attention and brings a sharp focus to the emerging label. What makes label owners’ Deepak Sharma and Dieter Krause “The Great Lawn” noteworthy is not the amazing collection of top shelf remixers, eight to be exact, but that none were affiliated with the label. All eight producers were brought together out of a love of the original source material and a respect for Sharma and Krause’s growing body of work. The diversity of the material on the single spans every inch of the techno spectrum, from deep late night insanity to vintage Detroit analogue electronics.

They sent us the AMBIVALENT remix to share with you. The track adds some stealth and muscle to the release, but at the same time it’s also lean and sinewy. The scant but efficient melodies only serve to feed the beat of what is essentially a build-up record. What is most noticeable about this track are the missing elements that serve as a reminder of the track’s intense starkness, which is exactly what minimal is supposed to do.

AC SLATER + CROOKERS + YELLE

Written by manalogue. Posted on August 19, 2010. Filed under bass, remix, wobble. Tagged , , , . No comments.

Trouble & Bass‘s AC SLATER has quickly become one of the most sought after remixers and producers with no sign of slowing down. Raised on 90′s Hip-Hop and nourished by old school rave, AC has cultivated these influences to give birth to his own style of music production. His latest is no different. He adds more bass than seemingly possible to the CROOKERS and YELLE colab.

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.
