Sawgood & Gigi Barocco will be releasing their new ep "Blowin up" (out today)! To promote this event, Sawgood is giving away his "what that fake". This track is a funny commentary on the media buzz around the skins parties, he uses vocals from a female French newscaster, and mixes those with high pitching synths and trashy electro. Now you know what a skins party is!
This is a teaser for the Ep, with a preview of all the remixes. Calvertron, Ikki, The Boomzers and Shekel! This is gonna be huge, all of the remixes got me banging my head!
Deafman, the guys from the amazing tune "Diskett", actually have a lot more good stuff than this one track. The video below is a recording of their take on Vitalic's "Poney Part 1", remixed live for the camera. I found another remix from them which was amazing, their remix for Aerotronic's helicopter! I wasn't quite digging the original to be honest, but if you listen to this, you just can't stay calm. The rave feeling of the original stays intact, and in my opinion, it gets even more ravey!
With this post I would like to introduce some Belgian producers which, in my opinion, haven't got yet the attention they deserve. Let's hope my little literary masterpiece will spread their word a bit!
First up is the 19 years old DJ/producer Jens De Kettelaere. Being one third of the Belgian electro/trash trio "Aerotronic", he also has a solo side project "X-Ettl".
After winning an internet competition X-Ettl had the honor to perform at Belgium's biggest electro festival "I Love Techno". Things haven't stopped growing and soon he will release his first solo EP on the german label "Dusted Decks". (Next to Fukkk Offf, Aniki, Saint Pauli,...)
The Ep, called "Jetgum" will include 4 tracks:
X-ettl - Jetgum
X-ettl - Ngin
X-ettl - Stride
X-ettl - Deadc4t
Because he wants to protect these tracks until their release, he is not sending them into the blog world, but you can hear some previews in this minimix.
The next artist "Modek", Willem Claesen, has already made several huge originals and remixes. (formerly known as Mellow)
As "Mellow" he released his first EP, called, ... yes, Mellow. (Monkey See Monkey Do) Later on he released his Kamikaze EP (Buy) on Keatchen Records and in the future he will release his Hiroshima EP (Monkey see Monkey Do) and his Mumps EP (Kiez Beats)
I love his sound, because it is that extraordinary hard and trashy. His tracks should really hit more dancefloors.
Difficult to choose which tracks I would share with my fellow Ratrabbits, but here they are.
(5 tracks, still too hard to choose, but please buy the tracks if you like them.)
The last artist I am presenting, Vincent Pauwels, better known as VNNR and 26 years old, is also making his way to the top.
His remixes are dropped by artists such as Mr. Oizo, Busy P, Felix Da Housecat,and Don Rimini. (So I asked myself: who isn't supporting him?)
At the moment VNNR is working on a remix for Aerotronic, while an Aerotronic remix will feature on Modek's Mumps EP. The Belgian "harder" electro scene, seems to be one happy family.
I am posting two of his best remixes, not hard to find on the web, not fresh, but in my opinion they haven't got a really decent post somewhere.
Coming up is, as I said, his remix for Aerotronic, but also a remix for The Oddword's "Kortelas".
You can hear the preview in this video:
So, until here my little word of Belgian chauvinism. Of course I can continue my story and tease your ears once more with other Belgian artists, but my fingers tell me to keep that for an other episode.
I hope it got your attention.
Enjoy the tracks and support the artists!
Bonus:
I already said something about Proxy founding his own label, well, he finished his plan: http://makorecords.com/. Check it out guys.
"Imagine your life would only be 15 seconds long. What would it be like?" Bang!
Get this track, it's one of Gtronic best remixes. And Gtronic hasn't made anything sucky, so I guarantee you that it will get you jumping! Autodidakt - 15 seconds (Gtronic Remix) (link fixed)
Aerotronic will be releasing their first EP "First blood" on Monkey see, Monkey do on the 18th of february. We have the teaser for you, which contains the tracks "Helicopter", "Bezerk" and "Ravers nightmare". Give em some love on the 18th!
Also listen to their new track "Helicopter" on their myspace.
Bonus:
Italian producer NT89 sent us his latest track, called Foxes. For those who have never heard of NT89: he made remixes for Blatta & Inesha, Tiga and Brodinski and his songs get played at bbc radio 1 sometimes.
Also look out for his collaboration with the Australian upcoming producer Distrakt. Their track is called Pumpin' and it destroys dancefloors. (Already remixed by Gtronic and BeataCue + played by Kissy Sell Out and Jaymo / Andy George on Radio 1)
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!
