Falcon Hostage


Here's a post without electro-trash tracks for once, instead I give you the banging minimix by Beataucue for their EP Falcon Punch. My personal favorites are the first two, Folder and Falcon Punch itself. In some way, this minimix makes me think of summerfestivals. God, can't wait till the exams are over!

Next up for my non-trash post, Hostage. Is it because of his beard or because of his two latest productions that i'm kinda obsessed with the man? With 'Take You' and 'Energise' he produces two really fresh sounding tracks. Although 'Take You' has a similar sound to the new Sound Of Stereo track 'Quartz', it's still awesome. As much as I like 'Quartz 'by Sound Of Stereo, I like 'Take You'.

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!

Tunes... let's hope they start to kill me again soon!

Although I only have one exam left, the previous ones seemed to really have killed me. I'd rather get killed by tunes, so that sucks big time. Consequence: my blogging upkeep seems to be getting slower and slower...
I will give you 2 tracks today that I liked a lot recently, there are probably lots of more hot tracks on the blogs these days, but I really am to tired to search any longer.

The first one I stumbled on was one from Hostage, let's say that it's a typical one for him - then you know you don't have to expect anything typical! Thanks to the Dem Slackers blog to bring this to my attention.

Hostage - Rooted by HOSTAGE


Geometry are famous for their banging trash tunes, and they recently made a remix for P2t (long time since we heard anything new from those dudes...). They made the song a bit more club-worthy, and what's even more important: they made it better!

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.

Afrojack - Bangduck (Horse's bootlegging duck mash)

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!

What do you know about Otis?


Hostage (Aka Alan Parley) didn't got lots of attention from us, something that we should be ashamed of. His productions are all top, and since he is so busy all the time, he has made loads of bangers. "Otis", his latest production, has some funny vocals and pitching synths, you better give it a try!

Hostage - Otis

He also has a new mixtape, with some nice wobbly tunes, fidget stuff and even some tech-house.

Check this vid of him and Lee Mortimer playing in a club in Hungary:



Enjoy!

MITSUBITCHI!!!!!!!!


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.

The Subs - Mitsubitchi

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.

Hostage - I get high
Johnny Moog - Fantastic lover (Kingdom remix)
Kid Cudi - Pursuit of happiness (Steve Aoki remix)

Just one more time: MITSUBITCHI!

Iron man!

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!

Momma's Cat


Some of you might have heard something about Mikix the cat, (a producer born in Paris and currently living in Berlin) who made tracks like "outlaw" (imagine a didgeridoo on beats and you get the idea) and "freeze". His tracks were featured in mixtape's from the belgian fidget masters Beatbouncers and Sound of stereo, and you should by now know that we adore Sound of Stereo. So this is a bit older already, but if you didn't got your hands on them, feel free to get em now!

Mikix The Cat - Outlaw
Mikix The Cat - Freeze


A few months ago, I found, on the good old findvoltorbcatchvoltorb, a track from a producer named Momma's Boy. Surprisingly, good old Mikix and Momma's boy is the same dude! Mike Gnacadja is his real name, and with his second alter ego, he seems to get even more attention than before. He has tracks released on the sound pellegrino label, the label to look out for in the future! His track "give it up" is, in my opinion, a true floorfiller, and his remix for hostage will definitely get the crowd movin' too!
