manalogue

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.

Grab this one from RCRDLBL

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.

MP3: Dennis Ferrer vs. Butch – Hey Hey (Nunzi’s Disco Booty)

There’s a new weekly club night in Winnipeg. If you haven’t guessed, it’s called CHECK YR PULSE, and well, Manalogue is half responsible for it. I DJ as a duo called THE SHAKE with the super deluxe LOTEK. Our beginning was pretty usual, playing parties for friends and such but we became a little more serious when we started hosting and programming our radio show called THE SHAKE which still keeps its focus by highlighting new dance music of many sorts.

The weekly, will focus a bit more on the underground – that’s where our roots are and every week we’re bringing in guests DJs with a goal of bringing the underground dance community together. To launch the night we have 14 13 local DJs playing, including ourselves. It all goes down tomorrow so if you’re in town, head to PURE. The club recently remodeled and didn’t skimp on the sound. I can’t wait to play there, it’s going to be sick! Here’s the lineup:

Lotek – Bassline/Electro/Robot Disco
Manalogue – Bassline/Electro/Robot Disco
Luis Cardona – House/Tech House
LSDave – Tech House
Nathan Zahn – Deep Tech
L’il Phil – House/Disco/Electro
Sw@t – Bassline
Krisco – Tech House
Encode – Funky Tribal House
SpaM – Breaks/Electro/Fidget
Owen Reynolds – Deep Tech
Voules & Random – Electro Tech

…and now what you came here for in the first place.

CHECK YR PULSE

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.)

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

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

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)

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.

Seriously heavy electro from NO1ELSE.

05. No1Else – Cocaine Combo (removed by request)

Courtesy of SCION A/V. DROP THE LIME has been all over my business with his wobble.

06. Drop the Lime – Howling (Original mix)

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

07. Dolby Anol – Puppies (Blende remix)

The second BLOC PARTY remix album is amazing. The ARMAND VAN HELDEN remix was the first single off of Intimacy Remixed.

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)

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.

10. Stanton Warriors feat Too Short – Raw Meat

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)

Later on, I dropped one of their CORRECT EFFECT’s originals but for now, here’s an ace remix of DANCE AREA.

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

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?

17. Eli Smith – Party All Night (DJ version)

THE SHAKE DJS are playing at ReadyMix again. Uh, that’s me (Manalogue), and LOTEK who contributes to MASHUP TOWN. We’ve been tag teaming for about two years on our radio show and every once in a while in tha clubs. On Thursday, READYMIX hosts us again. It’s fun playing there maybe because it’s loud and not in my basement with a speeping baby somewhere above me.

Rap and techno generally don’t go over well so I probably won’t play this by ARCH NEMESIS. I want to though. DEADMAU5 might be a little too underground at times with this crowd, and the last time I played a blingy mashup the crowd hated it.

MP3: Arch Nemesis – Reward is More Breaks

+ Deadmau5 – The Reward Is Cheese (Original Mix)
+ Deadmau5 – The Reward Is More Cheese (Original Mix)
+ T Pain featuring Lil’ Jon – Krazy (Original Mix)

Arch Nemesis is a pseudonym for DJ HERO.

Every Friday LOTEK and I whittle our favourite tunes of the week down to a single hour’s worth of material for our show on 92.9 KICK FM. It’s not easy considering the volume of tunes spread across the interwebs these days. Aside from arsenal of dancefloor oriented mashups and remixes I try to play cuts that would fit into the KICK playlists on their own which is why I was happy to hear something familiar the other day on WINNIPEG’S NEW SOUND.

This one hasn’t reached the KICK 40 yet but maybe now that I’m bringing a little attention to the tune, the boss might find more merit in it. Probably not. You’re best bet then, is to listen to THE SHAKE (facebook group) every Friday night for a weekly dose of dancefloor heat. From 8-9 Lotek and I (Manalogue) provide an excellent warmup to the weekend where you can hear tunes like the ones below from LA RIOTS and DESIGNER DRUGS.

MP3: Jupiter One – Countdown (LA Riots radio edit)

MP3: Jupiter One – Countdown (Designer Drugs remix)

I thought the show went pretty well tonight. Started out quite mellow really, and I’m still not sure what to think of the opening track. The setlist went a little something like this:

01. Guns N’ Roses – November Rain (DJ Kue remix)

**by request**
02. Reel 2 Real – I Like to Move it (Smalltown DJs Moving Makes Me Sick Remix)

03. Black Holes – War Drums

**I couldn’t wait for this relase, not this track in particular mind you, but the re-issue of Sunglasses at Night. The original will always ride near the top – and this remix bounces moody cut up electro into a hypnotic dancefloor playpen**
04. Tiga & Zyntherius – Sunglasses at Night (Popof remix 2)

05. The Ting Tings – Great DJ (Calvin Harris remix)
06. The Bumblebeez – Rio (Boy 8-Bit remix)

**by request**
07. MGMT – Kids (Burntpiano’s remix)

08. The Presets – Talk Like That (Dave Spoon’s Televised mix)
09. The Fashion – Like Knives (Daniel Dexter remix)
10. Harris Robotis – Beat on the Street (The Bag Raiders Row Harder Re-boot)
11. Larry Tee – I Love You (Bart B More Secured dub)

**I know I played this track a couple weeks ago, but it’s so effing good! Rave piano and thunder makes me all jumpy like a teenager.
12. Barletta & Van Helder Arrest – STAB

13. Mikix the Cat – Freeze (Drop the Lime remix)

**Another rave track. Gonna have to play it together with the Van Helder Barletta colab and see how they sound.**
14. Dr. Alban – Sing Hallelujah (TMX remix)

15. KMFX – White Knight Boot

A tonne of these came my way this week – here’s a smattering.

I have to start things off with my beat comrade Lotek. We lay down dirty rhythms every Friday night from 8-9 on our radio show THE SHAKE. You can hear it in Winnipeg Manitoba, Canada on 92.9 KICK FM or stream it online here.

1) Miles Dyson – Anthem (original mix)
2) Young MC – Bust A Move (Don Rimini ravekid remix)
3) DJ Kue – Riding Low
4) Tittsworth – Broke Ass Nigga

(more…)

It’s been far too long since one of these posts appeared on these pages so please don’t be hatin’.

Like the band’s presence on the KICK 40 this track has been about for a minute already. It even started THE SHAKE on the July 25th episode, but don’t let this stop you from giving it the blog love, especially because this track’s so HOT!

The original by MGMT is pretty good, actually it’s really good and I hope it climbs up a spot to number one. Justice added some of their filter magic turning the tune into a slow-moving floor burner. The vocal addition from the Broolyn production duo DDPESH adds some B.I.G. 90s gangsta flow.

Scoop it from my man Jason over at MASHUPTOWN.COM.

ddpesh – Nasty Feel (MGMT vs Justice vs Notorious B.I.G.)

You can here more dancefloor remixes and reconstructions every Friday.
