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.


"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.



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 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 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.



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!



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.


1) Borgore - ice cream
2) Tempa T - Next hype
3) Rusko - Hold on
4) Money - wizual remix
5) Tek One - Broken string
6) She said - Killarabits remix
7) Satisfaction - J. Rabbit remix
8) Satisfaction - sample
9) Borgore - sex instruction dub
10) Figure - The Phantom
11) Belzebass - il maiale
12) Any way - Fake blood (sample).
13) Bodies - IKKI remix
14) St bethoven - superfuzz (sample).
15) RATM - Killing in the name
16) Pure hatred chimerae - IKKI remix.
17 ) Sigma - Front to back
18) Skrillex - Scatta.
19) Chrispy - predator
20) Dave luxe - casse toi la nuque (accapela)
21) Bassnectar - Wildstyle
22) Exotic on the speaker - yeah ! woho remix
23) Let's there be the light - dj funk
24) F__ck house - manaia remix
25) Swedish house mafia - one (Netsky remix, GBDCrew boolteg)
26) head will roll - L.A dub remix


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.


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

Comic Remixes



If you were as amazed as I was about the first Ep from Comic Strips that I posted a few days ago, you're definitely going to love this. The man has pumped out some pretty solid remixes, and I had a wonderful time listening to them.
Favorites you ask? They're all amazing, but the Babylon remix is a bomb heavier than the one dropped on Hiroshima. It's even better than the Pink is Punk remix, and that one was already better than the awesome original. Download the remixes in better quality here.


My second favorite is the one he did for Amanda Blank's "might like you better". I have 5 remixes for that track on my computer, but this one is actually the only one that I dig.



It's been a really long time since I shared an OMGITM mixtape, but the last installment in the series was crafted by Haezer, the South-African electro anarchist. If you are familiar with his work, you know what to expect - some of the hardest electro to be found on this planet. Enjoy!

01. HAEZER - James Bond
02. The Mastertrons - Attack the Train(Drivepilot rmx)
03. Belzebass - Craked
04. Dj Antention - Go(Bigger Bolder rmx)

Time's a bitch

Time's a bitch, especially when you're already running low on it...
Due to the combination of my holiday job and my re-exams, it took me way to long to find a moment where I could check all our mails. So sorry for the long waiting, I hope that my choice of songs will compensate your lack of trash-music...

I'll start with Trashing Teenagers, those 2 bastards seem to get better and better every minute! I have a downloadable original, which must be one of the most distorted tracks ever made. Don't let your parents hear this, or you'll get sent straight to the psychatric hospital for "thinking noise is music". So, only listen when you're able to put the volume at its fullest!

Trashing Teenagers Ft. A Girl And A Gun - Unleash Hell (Original Mix)CHECK DISCRIPTION FOR MEDIAFIRE by TrashingTeenagers?!

mediafire link

I could basically throw all their remixes in, but after a few listens the one they made for Haezer turned out to be my favorite. Check their other remixes on their Soundcloud!

Haezer Ft Circe - Here Come The Punks (Trashing Teenagers Remix)PREVIEW by TrashingTeenagers?!

After Trashing Teenagers, even guys like Krftkds and Trashthis sound like some sort of classical componist when compared at heavyness. But that's probably just my ears who are happy to get some rest. This track will be able to please a greater amount of people, but the real trash lovers have found one of their new Gods in the teenagers.
Don't get fooled - this still is way too heavy for your mom!

ROCK ALL NIGHT - KRFTKDS ft. TRASHTHIS by TrashThis

Bonus:

Every summer, there are overplayed songs that I sort of liked in the beginning, but that irritate me after I hear it played by dj's. Other tracks, like "we no speak americano", have been a pain in the ass for me from the very first that I heard them. "One", from the Swedish house mafia is a song that fits in category 2 - I never saw what was so special about it. But if a guy named Rocco Rampino, aka Congorock, remixes it... You can never know what to expect! The overall feeling of the track can be compared to his own masterpiece "Babylon".

Are you deaf man??? it's Babylon!


Deafman, a co-project between Lektron and Dj Glenn. They have a Live-set where they create the sounds live on stage, and this sounds kinda genius, if I take this live-vid as a proof.
This track has anthem-power I think...



I couldn't stop banging my head when listening to this, such a killer tune. Loving the baretts, and the fact that they don't use software like ableton, everything is played live on stage with old synthesizers from Korg and Sequential circuits! If they play a dj-set, they throw a blend of electro, italo-disco and fidget into the room.
Diskett is available for download below, make sure you tell all your friends before they come to you talking about that awesome Deafman track they found...

Deafman - Diskett


One of the biggest hypes from 2010 in the blogosphere so far, was Babylon by Congorock. Not much remixes came close to the dub version (vocal version was kinda sucky I think), but Pink is Punk did. I think this has the same ravey feeling as the original dub version, perfect for the people who grew a bit tired of it. I might even say that this is harder than the original, and they added some real nice effects like a horn from a boat at 2:15 and a looped voice which continues throughout the whole track.

Babylon

Congorock - Babylon from Scion A/V on Vimeo.

Weird, freaky, scary, AWESOME! Cool video for Congorock's "Babylon" track, directed by Pomp&Clout. The single will be released on Fool's Gold soon.

Edit: Just found this rip from the video, and because this song is fucking awesome, I'm giving it to you.

Congorock - Babylon


As you probably know already (since it popped up on basically every electro-blog of the planet), SebastiAn made a new song. It's called Threnody, and it's fucking amazing!
Oh wait, did I said amazing? I meant its terribly annoying, I couldn't listen to the whole damn 11-minutes long intro, and the break that comes after this torture isn't that good either. So I went looking for some remixes or edits that made this track a little more acceptable, and I found these two:

SebastiAn - Threnody (Capt and Cooked edit)
SebastiAn - Threnody (Niteshade's No 11 minute annoyance Edit)

Seriously, why would you need an 11 minute intro? If you dropped it in a set, half of the public is bored already by the time something happens. But you have to say that Ed Banger knows how to create a buzz. The blogosphère has been waiting forever for new SebastiAn tracks forever, and with this one, the label will be watched with even more caution since everybody wants to know if the rest of SebastiAn's album sounds the same. Or maybe not, we will see what the future has in store for us!

From the piano, to the rave parties... Good boy!

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!






And what I like the most: He's doing his own thing, and he doesn't believe the fidget or the beetroots hype.

Fidgetting



Sharkslayer has made an excellent remix for digital manges their song manges (very original), it can be heard in the sets from sound of stereo and a lot of other fidget dj's.

Digital manges - Manges (Sharkslayer Dub)


Congorock is one of my favorite dj's at the moment, he was the best dj I heard at pukkelpop. Because this Italian was programmed so early, we had a lot of space to dance. The bloody beetroots love him, and their collaboration "rombo" turned out a to be a floorfiller when it was released (about two years ago). His remixes for fukkk offf and all leather are, in my eyes, treasures from God. Pray for him, and dance!

Fukkk Offf - More Than Friends (Congorock Remix)
All Leather- I Don't Hate Fags, God Does (Congorock Remix)



Some time ago, Afrojack was just another one of these house producers that I wouldn't even try listening to. But then, something changed... He released three bangin remixes in a very short time (make her say, sexy bitch, killer), but the one that really got the people dancing, was his remix for spencer & hill. It even got played by boys noize at I love techno!

Spencer & Hill - Cool (Afrojack Remix)

And now, for something a lot more underground: Ado! This guy from scotland makes such hard, distorted, fucked up electro, the bloody beetroots sound like britney spears compared to this shit! He has a really weird myspace, and ado is also a football club or something, because if you look it up on google, you find anything but his myspace. but anyway, here it is: Ado's myspace.

Ado! - Employee Of The Month
Ado! - Junk
Ado! - Plugged
