Last week we couldn’t get to a request for CLUB THING by YOAV. I dug up the FUNKERMAN remix so I’ll drop it this Friday on THE SHAKE. (check us on facebook).
I’m going to try to find at least one track a week from the KICK 40 that’s been re-re-reeee-constructed for the dance floor.
MP3: Yoav - Club Thing (Funkerman remix)
THE SHAKE
every friday night from 8-9
Winnipeg’s new sound
92.9 KICK FM
It’s difficult to find any commonality between the reconstruction and the original which makes me curious to know how the Hollywood thunder addicts went about creating this remix. Regardless NITE CELLS crunch a pleasant indie tune into a grinding monster so thick and heavy, low-end frequencies ooze from throbbing speakers whenever the track is played.
MP3: The Victorian English Gentleman’s Club - La Mer (Nite Cells Remix)
If you haven’t already acquainted yourself, check out Jason Funk Permanand (AKA Lotek) and his posts on MASHUPTOWN. Jason’s last post is a brave example of reconstructionalism, an art form that will probably be documented and studied as part of the postmodern movement, or whatever that means. Okay, maybe Nirvana’s Come As You Are vs. The Superman Lovers’ Starlight won’t change the world, but it might blow your mind.
Although entirely different in scope and purpose I thought I could direct your attention to an outstanding reconstruction of Smells Like Teen Spirit. Patrick Alavi cuts up the grunge classic into a gritty electro stomper.
MP3: Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit (Patrick Alavi rerox)
I’d love to hear this coming from a tower of speakers. Solid bass workout and more acid tweakery squelch.
MP3: KILL THE NOISE - Hey You (Le Castle Vania remix)
Remember this synth rocker?
MP3: Snowden - Black Eyes (Le Castle Vania remix)
Don’t forget every body’s movin to this on the dance floor.
MP3: Party Shank - Penis vs Vagina (Lies In Disguise remix)

Ha! No joke, Lotek and Manalogue are opening for Benny Benassi. Funny bizniss.
We’re playing in the side room, here are the details:
Monday, April 28, 2008 8:00 PM - 2:00 AM
Tijuana Yacht Club (TYC) 1405 St. Matthews Avenue
$20 plus GST
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=9745448393
Lotek vs Manalogue 8pm-10pm
Khemlab 10-11pm
LoProgression 11pm-12pm
Presumably Benny Benassi starts at midnight.
Since we’re on so early on a Monday nonetheless, we’ll probably play some slower material, but who knows - it could get all hyphy too.
To get you in the spirit here’s something you love and know so well…
MP3: Benny Benassi - Satisfaction
…and maybe something you don’t…
MP3: Benny Benassi vs 50 Cent - Satisfaction vs. In Da Club (100 Baramuda Mash Up Mix)
Well, aren’t we all. Really though I need to find additional income especially with some expenses coming this way. This post, despite my wife’s preference takes precedence however. (She’s so sick of everything I play, she probably doesn’t read my blog anymore anyway. PS I love you LV!)
While I’m working on a few things to advance some financial stability some tunes are playing. I’m sitting down typing and thinking and typing and thinking then the LA Riots vs. Villains remix of Hot Chip’s Ready for the Floor starts to pound. I turn the volume up, then up again, totally drowning the next door neighbour’s construction noise. The tune with it’s booming bass sonics and synth stabs pull me to my feet and I’m rocking it all by myself in my living room. No lie, fists clenched and repeatedly raise up and down like a dancefloor piston.

Sorry no pretty pictures just yet. I wanted to get this post done more than anything…been a bit quiet round these here parts. This is the playlist from tonight’s radio show. THE SHAKE runs every Friday on 92.9 KICK FM in Winnipeg. You can stream the show at www.kick.fm
Jason was visiting family so once again I was the soul beat captain. The journey starts slowly, moving into grime, garage, and hip hop. Loads of French house and some ace remixes. I can’t escape the big wave stompers so in the end, that’s what you’re left with. Straight to the digs then.
01. Lil Mama - Lip Gloss (Ghislain Poirier remix)
Montreal’s king of dub hammers the rnb swinger into a minimal bass monster.

http://www.myspace.com/erlendoyeplease
05. Justice - D.A.N.C.E. (Les Rhythms Digitales remix)

08. Death From Above 1979 - Sexy Results (MSTRKRFT edition)
This song seems ancient. If yer unfamiliar, scoop this up.
http://www.myspace.com/mstrkrft
09. Michael Jackson - P.Y.T. (Marquis remix)
Not much left of the original tune in this remix but it’s sweetness makes up for it. As with most things this sugary, it’s best to serve this occasionally.
http://www.myspace.com/marquisdc
10. Armand Van Helden - You Don’t Know Me (GRUM remix)
Don’t be put off by the beatless strobed intro. Once this drops it’s all forgiven.

Bass and chainsaw reworking. Plus, it’s Manchester meets Brighton. It’s an older righteousness. Heavy.
http://www.myspace.com/thewhipmanchester
http://www.myspace.com/southcentralmusic
14. The Kills - Cheap and Cheerful (Nite Cells bored robot remix)
You’re left with a bit of monster here. It starts slowly but then the bassline gets ground up into long meaty sausages. (Really, did I just write that?)
Last week’s mega post seems like a great idea so here comes this week’s playlist.
1. Boyz Noise - Oh (A-Trak remix)
Low frequency thumping and the expected schitzo synth. Remixed by Kanye West’s beat commander A-Trak.

Not sure how I feel about these yet. I was never inter rap so it’s hard to get excited about this one.

Ocelot’s a favourite on THE SHAKE.

For the Winnipeg homies:
Your favourite KICK FM jocks host Ready Mix this Thursday at the Zoo. Before you get any crazy ideas, no Jason and I won’t be protecting our junk with jock straps, rather we’ll be disc jockeying at the weekly double decker dance party. We were asked to
I know it’s a bit of a shameless self promotion, so I also give you, yes another D.A.N.C.E. remix. Before you turn away thinking the world doesn’t need another version of this song, well, you need to hear this.
