Back... or not?

Laptops that are broke down suck, that's for sure... After more than a week of being cut off from the electro scene, I needed some time to recover and to get back up to date in the fast moving electro world. I'm not sure that I have completed that job, but I will just give you a few songs that I liked from my internet search from the last few days.

The first one is Cabala from Cyberpunkers (I'm pretty sure a lot of you will have this already), a song that's perfect for the festivals and big open air shows. It has that signature Cyberpunkers feeling, ravey sounds all over... I'm getting kinda bored of it in a lot of their songs, but this one is just that little bit more diverse, which is why I like it so much!

Cyberpunkers - Cabala

The second one is a hard and dark Clouds remix, this would a perfect track for the smaller, more underground electro party's - like rock me on electro. Grinding, brutal,... it has everything you need! It's released on Fake Blood's Blood music.

Nick Campbell - Brick Scrap (Clouds remix) (thanks to the chemical jump!)

And for all those who went completely nuts when they saw Gtronic's facebook post that he would stop - he had announced it already in our interview, but it was unpredictable that he would do it so drastically. Don't worry though, his new tracks all sounded super duper extra awesome, so I don't think you'll be regretting this little switch :).

wrap up # 7

Hostage messaged me yesterday, saying that he had a load of new tracks on his Soundcloud. Well, he sure wasn't lying! 11 new tracks uploaded last week! I had a great time listening to them, and now I'm sharing my favorites with you. The heavy dubstep tune "Sweet sweet riddim" is one of them, it has great vocals, a room shaking drop, basically everything you look for in a partytune.

Hostage - Sweet Sweet Riddim by HOSTAGE

"The Slave" is the name of the other track that I digged, and although it's new on Hostage's soundcloud, I've had it in my iTunes for almost a year. This doesn't change anything about the quality of course! Electro with some dub elements, and a cool vocal at the drop - determined to make you go wild.

Hostage - The Slave by HOSTAGE

Snob Electro sounds have just finished their second Ep, which will be released the 26th of November on Trash de disco records. 2 original tracks and 4 remixes, by Kommander Keen, Dead Cat Bounce, PANDAmic and KLOAN. I dig the 2 originals and the PANDAmic remix the most, because they are trashy without becoming to chaotic (the Dead Cat Bounce remix falls into this trap I believe). But you are free to disagree with this, check the full Ep below!

Here is a longer preview of the "Circuits" track, which is my favorite from the bunch.

The Cheerz are 2 girls (2 boys with that name would be kinda... weird) making club/hiphop music. Before you start a riot claiming that you are following this blog exactly to avoid that kind of music, the girls were so kind to give away a big fat remix Ep! 3 originals (they aren't that bad, you might wanna give them a try too!) and 10 remixes! All in 320 quality, and yes, once again, it's completely free!

The full list of the remixers is: Mendel, Jay Robinson, Douster, Dj Gant-Man, Dj Hilti, Oliver $, Big dope P, Sedat the Turkish Avenger, Tv on Mars and Yolanda be cool. That's an impressive list, although some of the remixes are totally not my cup of tea. For those who want the full package: The cheerz - Whooz da baddest remix EP

I picked out my favorites and uploaded them on Mediafire, so you can just take the heavier electro remixes from the 10.

The best remix is obviously the Mendel one (it was him who brought this to my attention), pounding basses and a wheeney little bit of distortion in the background - like I said, obviously the best!

The Cheerz - Monsta (Mendel remix)

The Jay Robinson takes it down the wobbly road, like we know from the old Jack Beats songs (UFO for example). For those who still like a nasty wobble from time to time!

The Cheerz - Whooz da Baddest (Jay Robinson remix)

The last one that I really liked is the one from Douster. If you have never heard this guy's name before, you should check out his "King of africa" track. If you haven't been living under a rock for the last 6 months you should have heard it somewhere. The remix he made this time is a bit techy, with whistles and some cool drum patterns.

The Cheerz - La french Patrass (Douster remix)

It seems like ages ago when I last shared a Congorock remix (the backlog says it was the 4th of August, but the backlog is a fat ugly bastard), so this Mark Ronson feat Boy George remix comes at exaclty the right time! The vocals of the original + an epic, wide room melody from Rocco Rampino (mortals call him Congorock) = Banger!

Mark Ronson feat Boy George - Somebody to love me (Congorock remix) (thanks to the Chemical Jump once again)

The Gbd Crew, hailing from Liege, Belgium made a new mixtape for us. It's a dub/dnb one, with a few metal remixes from Ikki. Reminded me of sets of Steve Aoki, and those are always great.

And finally, the last track of this post. I especially joined the Annie Mac mailing list to get this as a downloadable treat. Don't get fooled by the rather slow intro, once the drop is there it's good old clouds stuff like we all love it! This may be one of their best remixes I've heard.

Coin Operated Boy - Trust me (Clouds remix)

As you might have noticed, this is a fucking long post. I'm going to get back to my social life. Bye!

Let's go Barbra!

The highly anticipated Ep from Dem Slackers is finally out on Bmkltsch records. I've got a permission to share the Bart B More "Oldskool" remix (there is also a "Lessgo" remix). Both remixes have basically the same build-up, but the drop is totally different. The "Oldskool" remix goes for the kids that still like to rave, while the "Lessgo" fits in with the more calm trends of today. Both remixes are cool, but I personally prefer the "Oldskool" remix. I'll always be a raver I guess... The original "Let's go" and the Peacetreaty remix are worth your well earned bucks too!

Dem Slackers - Let's Go (Bart B More Oldskool remix)

The second track of the Ep, Swagger (Ft. Dan Stezo), was mixed by Clouds and Evil Nine. I highly prefer the Clouds remix, because the typical hardness from the "we're so not funny that it gets funny" guys from Edinburgh always gets me excited. The original track is a piece of high quality distortion rave sounds, but for that, you will have to get your ass to beatport to buy the full Ep!

Now that even your dog knows what a damn catchy track Barbra Streisand from Duck sauce is, it's up to the remixers to rework it. The tricky thing about it is to surprise the crowds with a track that keeps the good things from the original intact, but also adds a personal touch. F2U tried, and nailed it for the full 100 %. Not everyone's piece of cake I guess, but this is a very nice, harder rework from one of the most hyped tracks of the year. Enjoy!

Pop and Jerk, in this cloud

Scotland, home of bagpipes, kilts, great scotch, and, last but not least: Clouds & Ado!. These 2 dj projects play together once a month (at Ctrl alt defeat, a party hosted by Ado!), and apparently they loved each other so much, that they remixed their tracks. Ado! mixed "Bebas", which results in a prime-quality trash banger, and Clouds remixed "Pop and jerk". The vocals of that last one are stuck in my head since the first time I heard the original, and this one certainly does honor to the already great original!

Clouds - Bebas (Ado's Compliance mix)
Ado! - Pop and jerk (Clouds resistance remix)


I informed you earlier about the fact that Illstm made an awesome track, named "Moctezuma". He is not only giving that away for free, he's also doing a remix contest! So this is you chance for endless fame and honour, grab it!
Drop your remixes on Illstm's soundcloud before the 1st of july!

IllStM: RMX CONTEST by IllStM

The ones who have this page added to their daily routine, probably know that we aren't really fans of tech-house and the kind of music that I call "Brodinski-style". But, if someone sends us over a remix where he describes it as "I made it heavy", we are willing to give it a listen.
The man who gave the track a new face is Australian Kent Ohori, aka K. Oh! It actually reminded me a bit of the Dem Slackers remix for Mom & Dad, which is always a good thing!

TOM DELUXX - RUN (Official video) from Selim Bentounes on Vimeo.

Tom Deluxx, aka one half of Just a Band, has released his "run" Ep on Boxon records a few weeks ago. The official video for the original track is worth a look, a real creepy atmosphere which sucked me to my screen when I first looked at it.
Support him by buying it on beatport!

Tom is a generous guy, he's handing out killer tracks for free! His remix for Cyberpunkers is downloadable below, and Cyberpunkers made the remix for his Ep in exchange.

Cyberpunkers - OMG (Tom Deluxx rmx)

Clouds, a name that has been popping up on a decent lot of blogs lately. Not without reason, since their tracks are dope, with a big room attitude. Fake Blood is already supporting them, as well as The Subs, Stereoheroes, Thomas Von Party,... and many more are to follow!
Fake Blood will be releasing 2 tracks from the dudes, Liquid and Mauful sir, on his forthcoming label (so far it hasn't got a name). They think about themselves as "pretty boring" (check their interview on squeegie), but I'm sure their music will get a lot of dancefloors burning.

Clouds - Eyes
Clouds - Splatter Pie

Fuck titles! Who cares about them anyway?

The hype around Barbra Streisand, the upcoming summerhit from Duck Sauce, is starting to become real huge. The original is still unreleased, and as far as I know there hasn't been pinned down an official release date, but the first remix has popped up already.

I definitely think that the original will be 10 times as big as this, but for those who can't wait for the original this is a good track to soften the waiting time. I wouldn't really call it a remix, it's more like a re-edit. But seriously: can anyone make something better out of this track without stripping it from it's summer feeling? I doubt it. Anyway, thanx to mr O-god for this piece of sugar, it got me jumping.
Enjoy!

Duck Sauce – Barbara Streisand (O-God Remix)

Edit: Because that looped sample keeps me playing the song over and over again, lets share the original Boney M track.

Boney M - Gotta Go Home


Our last topic on Mechanical Resistance dates from november already, but in that long absence, they prepared a banging remix for us (and for everyone else who likes a banging tune)! I can see this putting dancefloors on fire, banging basses just the way I like em. They have become more mature in their productions, always a good thing. I'm digging this more than the other tracks we've posted, this is less trashy, but with a real pounding bass underneath.

Bam bam!

Mika Chew! - SuperPowers (Mechanical Resistance Remix) (removed on request)



Proxy is in the USA for the first time, all the american kids are preparing for a party. Evgeny has other plans though! In his own words:

“New York. Atlanta. Boston. Coachella. These are the places and alternative music festivals I was taught to hate as a child. It is difficult to see them as anything other than targets, and I will treat them as such. New York. Rubble. Atlanta. Ruins. Boston. Ash. Coachella... Extinction.

I eat a cigarette. I prepare to wrestle your winds of freedom to the ground. I cannot allow you to live inside your skulls for much longer.”

Aah, that typical Russian hospitality towards americans, loving it!

To stress the fact that the man is in the US and A, Turbo is releasing a remix Ep for his monster track "8000". The Sticky K rmx has definitely gotten his stamp, making the sounds a bit more "silly" (and I mean that in a good way). Banger! A little fidget touch, why not?

The Clouds remix is fucking hard, seems like the Proxy himself remixed it. I thought that a hard approach could only destroy what makes the original so good, but apparently I was wrong.
