Horse & Brooklyn Fire

Horse, a dj and producer duo who are living in New South Wales, Australia, has blasted my mind with their Bangduck mash-up. He uses samples from the original, bangkok, the afrojack remix for cool and the nujax remix for bangduck. He's 22 years old, and the guy is only dj'ing for one year, but he has already supported acts like Van She, Bag Raiders and in the next month, he has to support Acid Jacks and Jamie Fanatic.
The outcome is surprisingly good, normally I don't like to listen to mash-ups at home, it's only cool to hear it played out live in a club. This time, the mashed up parts gave me a feeling like I was meeting old friends again, and I suddenly realised that they were a lot cooler as a group. So I won't ever listen again to Bangkok, Bangduck and all the other songs aforementioned, I will just enjoy this unbelievable mash-up.

Brooklyn Fire records (Tommie Sunshine is the label-boss) has officially started. I thought that it was in existence for some months already, but apparently Figure was just making a little promotion for the new label by putting "brooklyn fire" in his track ID's. Anyways, to get some attention, Mr. Sunshine asked some artists to make a remix for a track that they consider a classic. In his own words:

“When I thought about launching my new imprint, Brooklyn Fire and the impending WMC I thought the best way to cause a stink was to get the artists whom I dig and have them tear apart something they consider a “classic”. Enjoy these 20 works and I look forward to your support of Brooklyn Fire.”

The result? 20 quality remixes for some real oldies, with remixes by my favorite Figure, Mightyfools, Tommie Sunshine himself, Hostage, SonicC, Boris Dlugosh and loads of others. Definitely worth the 260 Mb of harddisk space that it will take! And oh yeah: It's for free and in 320 quality!

Bangin' Bangkok

Man, what a beautiful track is this! German producer Boris Dlugosch made this track Bangkok, and I'm surely not the only one who's loving it! Annie Mac from Bbc radio 1 gave this track some airplay during her show, and big guns like Boys Noize and Erol Alkan played this track a few times. The female oh's in this song give it a sexy touch, which makes it even better. Nuff said!

Next up: Mechanical resistance, a producer and dj duo from toulouse in France. They play two times a week at the French internet-radio "paris one club", monday between 3 and 4 pm, and thursday between 9 and 10 am. What's even more important for us, they made some bangin' electro tracks! "Dancing fat" is a bit slower then "Stratchy brain", but I'm sure that they both have the power to get a crowd dancing.
