On the last day of the year, I thought you would definitely be in for a party, so I will give you some random party tunes. Some new, some old, but all bangers! Make sure you get drunk tonight, and have a good time! Watch out for the fireworks though, you don't want to end up like the poor guy in the pic!
I don't know how old this one is, I definitely heard it at a lot of parties, so it's probably a little older. Dj Rob 3 is probably better known to you as Rob Threezy, an american electro/house producer.
And the last one for now: Lektrobeerz, another upcoming Belgian Dj-duo, gave us their latest track. To me, it sounds a bit like the two previous tracks I gave you. Weird!
A little while ago, we gave you some tracks from Gtronic's "Iron man" Ep, and now Stereoheroes gave us their remix of this amazing track. They added some vocals to it, this gives the song a whole new face. Consider it a (belated) Christmas gift from them! If you want to buy the whole Ep in 320 versions, it's available on beatport.
Vecho is another great Belgian electro project, their tracks are bombin'! The "Waters of Nazareth" remix starts so fucking hard and loud, I almost couldn't believe my ears! Same story for the "Rombo" remix. I thought the originals couldn't be harder, but Vecho has proven me wrong. They also remixed the militaristic fairytale called "8000", and this remix got me headbanging from the first second. Vecho's sound can be described as typical Proxy noise, I'm really loving it.
I've been searching the internet today to give you some tunes, and I think I have succeeded! The first one is a track from Huoratron, "Gbay". Typical Huoratron shit, scary, screeching, sawing, soul-sucking electro!
This one is a fidget song, a genre that has been pushed a bit to much to the background on this blog. Typical jackin basslines, looped vocals, everything's there to get you dancin.
Remember what I said about P2t getting big? Check this latest remix by The Killer Rabbits for their track "jump", trashy, ravey, it has it all! That description fits perfectly for the second remix that I'm giving you, the remix by The Third.
And a last one, these guys don't need an introduction anymore I think.... The Disco Villains! Their next Ep will be remixed by Gigi Barocco, so keep your eyes and ears wide open for that!
I was looking for some gifts to share with our dearest readers, but wasn't able to get my hands on some awesome bangers. I did found one though, a remix for Jingle Bells by our favourite Aussies, Trumpdisco!
Help Gtronic! By clicking on these songs below, you can give him a chance to become the artist who made 2009's best dance track! The voting system is kind of lame, you can't just vote for a song, you always have to pick one out of two. Keep on doing this until you meet Gtronic's Iron Man (currently on place 18 out of 100), and make us proud! By the way, you can cast an unlimited amount of votes.
Vote, vote, vote!
Edit: Gtronic is currently at the first place, keep those votes coming!
EDIT:Gtronic ended up being at place 48, with a total Of 920 votes. Our blog had the most amount of votes of all the placed voting machines (after the site itself).
Young Nutz (WoNK & diXXie) had a really crazy year already, and with this post I want you guys to know just how crazy it was. Their sound can be described as fidget, Wobbly bass (reminds me of Jack Beats sometimes) and some rave-esque elements. Here are some of their best trasks, enjoy your Christmas Eve even more with those songs!
Petr Passive is another artist from Basserk records who is making that typical screeching electro, like Ado!, P2t, Bronstibock,... This doesn't gets you jumping, it makes you "Skream" for your mammy!
Today he's only 19 years old, but it all started by playing the piano at the age of 5, and at the age of 15 he began composing music under the name"Dirty Disco Youth". In the meantime he also played the guitar bass and the drums.
So.. When he was 15, he went to an electro party and that is the reason he nowadays produces awesome tracks! These productions found and still find their way through the internet.
In 2007 (2 years later) he has played in London as headliner of one of the biggest warehouse parties, and at "New X Inn". No wonder he was called the new "Wunderkind" ;-)
In 2008 he released "The Kids want Maximal" through the internet, and he also made a remix of Outlander "Vamp". This last one, caused a lot of attention from big DJs and radio stations worldwide. He also did a few remixes...
Shall we skip 1 year?
Today, this man is working for Warner Music, has releases on Etage Noir, Street Beats, Kinetika, and owns a label called Dirty Disco Tracks. Not impressed yet? Well, on 2 febr 2010 he's gonna release "OFF" for ... DIM MAK!
Please, if a DJ drops this one, crash the party!
Talking about getting big in only 1 year? His tracks are supported by: The Bloody Beetroots, Steve Aoki, Gigi Barocco, Mustard Pimp, Fukkk Offf, Boys Noize, Fake Blood, Ed Banger DJs, Malente, ... and he did remixes for: The Bloody Beetroots, Deadmau5, Crookers, Faithless, Daft Punk, The Prodigy, Agnes Carlsson (Warner), Scanners (DIM MAK), Sharam Jey (King Kong), Fukkk Offf (Coco Machete), Leopold Gregori (Great Stuff), Streeflife DJs (Street Beats), Milke (Gulp) and many many more!
I just stumbled upon this bunch of tracks and remixes, and I was immediately blown away by one of them. MITSUBITCHI!
The Subs. I don't like their live shows, but they produce such mindblowing tracks! I fell immediately in love with their latest track, and I'm absolutely sure you will too! I can't really tell what makes this song so incredibly awesome, you'll just have to listen to it yourself.
Oh yeah, I found some other stuff aswell, but everything sounded just so dull after "mitsubitchi", I'm not really enthousiastic about anything anymore. But anyway, here are some tracks from the "pre-mitsubitchi" era, if you ever grow tired of it, you can check those songs too. They're ok.
The Bloody Beetroots had the honour to play at Annie Nightingale's Radio 1 show, the tracklist reveals some unknown remixes by them, big up! Also check their brand new website, called deathcrew77. Download here

Pretty weird video, pretty cool song, that's wath your thinking right? I was thinking the same, and it gets even better! D.I.M. and Tai (their previous collab called "Lyposuct" should ring a bell) made a banging remix for it! Computer Juice is a co-project of Riton and Seiji, the ep is available at beatport. Get it while it's hot!
Gtronic's "Iron man" Ep is out now on Bmkltsch records! With remixes from Stereoheroes, Hostage and Ebokai. This track started the whole hype for Gtronic, it got picked up by big guns like the Bloody Beetroots and, well let's just say by a lot of dj's, too many to name them all. Now it's finally available on beatport!
A fresh Disco Villains tune, they remixed Vanilla's Ice classic "Ice Ice baby", typical Disco Villains stuff (= awesome). They might be coming to Europe around march/april, but they are still looking for some more gigs to get their flight costs completely covered. So if you want to see a fuckin' great party, give them some money so they can come over!
Soundboysrock are a french duo from Troyes, who made a cool remix for Todd Terry and Tara Mcdonald's track "play on". Since it's an electro remix, they made it more ravey, with a great build-up and some high noises in the background. Got me jumping from the first time I heard it, something that's not so easy since I've been listening to so much electro music lately.
Bronstibock (Peter Rutten and Sanne Groeneveld) is an Amsterdam based dj-duo, and they are making distorted, noisy, screeching electro. Just the way I like it! With a couple of releases on the Basserk record label, they have caught our attention. The Aux Raus remix for "The brick is in the air" really got me jumping, and the other 2 songs I'm giving you are bangers aswell. Black and Decker' electro at its best!
P2t! At the time of my first post about them, they had released just a couple of songs, and they weren't noticed by the crowd. Now, they'll release their remix for The Killer Rabbits on D.E.N.S records, and their tracks got featured on a couple of blogs. And their sound just keeps on getting better! This last one has some funny vocals in it, I can really see them getting big!
Gigi Barocco is one of the many extremely good Italian producers of the moment. He has a sound which is slightly different from his countrymen like Congorock, Blatta & Inesha, Crookers,... He gives his song a funny touch, a side of his personality that can also be seen in his live appearance: In a fluo green bathrobe, a frog mask and most of the time drunk as hell. His track Puah got played by big guns everywhere around the globe, and it kickstarted his dj-career. Now he's playing at party's all over Europe, so if he's around, go and have a look!Here are his latest 2 banging tracks, an original and his remix for Will Bailey's "hustlin and scratchin".

Bonus: Not all Lee Mortimer's productions get me jumping, but this one definitely did! Lee pushed the vocals under the radar with a pumpin' bassline, and the result is brilliant!
Mightyfools. For an unknown reason, I haven't posted something about those 2 crazy Dutchmen... Let's start with their latest remix for Oh snap!, "Plus size model". They gave it their typical "mighty" touch, resulting in a speedy fidget song that I loved since the first time I heard it. Their older remix for Oh snap! which was given the name "I'm too fat be a hipster", has graced my ears for a solid 30 times, according to the statistics on my Ipod. Enough reasons to give you that one too!
For the second part of my post, I was thinking about giving you my favourite Mightyfools records. But for a second I didn't realise what an immense ammount of bangers they have produced already, and choosing would be very painfull... So I'm just giving some of their most unknown tracks, for a complete archive of their tunes, check wizards are better.
So these tracks are only a fragment of their immense discography, and basically EVERY track they have made got me jumping. Their tracks are played by big names like Don Rimini, Sound of Stereo, Mightyfools, ... Wait! what? Yup, Mightyfools know how to turn the tables, so if you can catch them somewhere in your hood, don't hesitate and move your lazy ass to the party!
The Disco Villains! I remember hearing their "we are your friends" remix for the first time like it was yesterday. Their typical sound would never get out of my head again, thanx to other great remixes they made for 50 cent, Ace of Base, Technotronic, N.E.R.D.,... And now they refixed a song for one of Belgiums new big dj-duo, Soda 'n' Suds. Their "Fuck House" ep has been featured some days ago on this blog, if you didn't got your hands on it, go do it right now! The Disco Villains remixed their "we do it again" track, download here:
Soda 'n' Suds - We do it again (Disco Villains remix) Soda 'n' Suds - How we like it mixtape Buy the ep on beatport The Oddword (Antwerp based duo from Belgium)is saying hello to the new decade with their latest track, called "hello goodbye". The videoclip is showing some black people dancing real cool, wish I could dance like them! The original is a song by Jeanette, called porque te vas. This is no straight-forward electro, it has a lot of funk influences, but I'm still loving it! Give em some love when you catch them playing somewhere!
I talked a lot about Huoratron (real name Aku Raski) recently, so I thought it was time to give him some love in a post dedicated to him. First, this guy knows how to throw a party! He's partying like crazy when he's behind his decks, and the public sometimes looks scared when they see him performing his "claw-move", or one of his other crazy gestures. Second, he looks like a typical doorkeeper, who can punch you K.O. in one single hit. Third, he has a beard. That makes him even more scary... Last: the combination of the previous characteristics makes him a great entertainer, if you're not afraid to get sweaty!
Something a little softer now, Rubix, a guy from the Netherlands. His disco/electro tracks have been played by big guns like Laidback Luke, Radioclit, Kissy Sell Out,... He sounds a bit like "French touch" dj's like Daft Punk and stuff.
Sharkslayer and Harvard Bass... They just continue to amaze! I already did a few posts about them, but I thought that these songs were good enough to give them another post.
Serial chillers (a Flemish duo) remixed a song by Canadian hip-hop artist Drake, and I really like it! This could become a real club-hit, thanx to the support Kanye West gave the original.
Tomorrow (6 december, St. Nicholas' bithday), all the well-behaved kids get their annual deal of candy and toys, but since you guys have been so nasty (downloading all those songs whithout paying, you should be ashamed!), you get absolutely nothing! So, no toys, no candy, no chocolate,... Nah, just joking! and to prove it, I've got this for you:
Bobermann (probably better known to you guys as Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo from the Bloody Beetroots) remixed the Bloody Beetroots song "warp 1.9". I see you thinking: he remixed a song from his own? Yes he did, but this time Tommy Tea (other half of Bloody Beetroots) has nothing to do with it. The song will be released on "Christmas Vendetta, Spares of Romborama", coming out 8th of december.
Mustard pimp had the honour to make the next "Oh my god it's techno music!" mixtape (number 19 already). Other famous dj's who made a mix for this project are: Blatta&Inesha, Dirty Disco Youth, Sound of Stereo, Mightyfools, Malente,... Quality guaranteed!
Like I said in my previous post, Clément Mulot from Sawgood promised us an interview. With our crappy French, and his sucky English, this sure wasn't easy, but because music is a universal language, we managed to get some valuable information out of him.
So Clement, let's start with your latest track "Teenage blitz": how did you came up with the idea to make a track with A girl and a gun? Did you contacted her, or did she made the first move?
I heard her voice on myspace, and I loved it immediately! So I decided to make her a piece, and she made some vocals for it. Then she did a remix contest with these vocals, but I didn't participated on that one because Crux records would release them under contract.
What's your idea of a perfect party? A room to relax, my friends, some beers, wodka, a metro, a taxi, 50000 watt's, a dj, a party room, and my girl. And you?
My perfect party is a dancefloor packed with partypeople, who are jumping, screaming, crowdsurfin',... And a dj who's partying like a fool. Talking about a fool, at Fight Klub in Brussels you were sharing the decks with Huoratron. What was it like? It was amazing! I don't listen to tons of music, I just have a list with a dozen of artists which I'm really, really digging. Life would be hard without their imputs! Bands like Noisia, Spor, Huoratron, Kissy Sell Out, Dilemn, Proxy, No Money, … , just all those producers which created their own beautiful and immediately recognizable sound. So sharing the decks with huoratron was pretty awesome!
Kissy sell out played some of your tracks some months ago. How come he picked you? Andare there some other big guns who played your tunes? Ah, that's story is really cool! One day, Kissy (which really is one of my biggest idols) changed his myspace status. I commented something funny on that, and the next moment, he sent me an e-mail to say that he was really loving my music! If I gave him some 320-bpm versions, he would give me some support. Since then, he has helped me with every new song that I produce. There are also some big dj's who have helped me, like Calvertron and Defunct!, who remixed my first Ep (called pompin'). Famous dj's who played my songs include: Bloody Beetroots, Blatta&Inesha, Mustard Pimp, Hostage,...
Impressive list! I hope that there will be loads of others who can be added to it after this ep!Do you have a favorite Belgian dj/producer?
Basically, I start with making a synth that sounds like I love it (a heavy and pumpin' bass), then I make a melody with that synth, and I finish it up with a rhythm. It's often very dirty and a bit messy, so I have to remodify everything. Then I put the things in who are still missing ( leads, fx, ghost drums), and I clean it up.
Do you prefer dj'ing or producing?
That’s a difficult one. I’m actually a real composition geek, I can’t get sleep without thinking about a fat beat or a cool riff. I also love to play for an audience, but I’m not a real dj. Sometimes I’m afraid that the people won’t like it, afraid to be too much in my own world. If I have the certainty that people love what I do, I might even be willing to compose live on stage!
Beer or something stronger?
Both, my friend… I always start and end with beer. That’s also the reason why I’m coming back to Belgium soon!
What are your future plans?
Oh man, I have loads, tons of plans! A lot of feats., with Stereoheroes, Blatta&Inesha, Calvertron and an unknown Russian dj. A lot of remixes will be coming your way soon, and I also have planned a release of my third Ep on Plasmapool.
Laidback Luke and Lee mortimer made this smashing club-hit "Blau", that you could hear in sets of famous dj's everywhere, but it couldn't be found in non-ripped version untill now. I'm giving you the original and the remixes that I like the most, the one from La riots and the two remixes from Doorly.
I've really grown tired of Crookers and their typical sound, but this Bart B more remix is really awesome! The original track is a dubstep song, this one's more dancefloor friendly with a ticking clock in the beginning, and a fat beat to keep the crowd dancing.
If you want to send us tracks, money, girls, booze, free entrance tickets for party's,... just contact us at: ratrabbitsblog@gmail.com. We will listen to it carefully and definitely post the stuff we like!
