Summer Crayze

I have to apologize for not updating for over a month. Hectic schedule, new summer job and partying has put me back a few weeks when it comes to being up to date. We are all patiently waiting for Claude VonStroke’s Scarlet Macaw to get relased and not to forget the upcoming Martinez Brothers and Martin Brothers on Dirtybird.

However I do have a treat for you. Harry Axt always delivers these crazy sounding techno monsters and this one is no exception. Truly unique sounds.

Harry Axt - Deliberately Selected (Techno, Tech House)

A Track from the fabulous mix of Catz ‘n Dogs over at RCRDLBL giving you the perfect summer vibes.

Two Armadillos - Hamlin (Sascha Dive Secret Dub Mix) (Minimal, Deep House)

Plipp, plopp

What do you get if you mix ambient with techno and some french deep house? Not Christian Bale but Subharmonic Atoms.

Namlook - Subharmonic Atoms (Pepe Bradock Remix 2) (Minimal, Tech House)

Really solid deep and organic house.

Aaron Carl - Crucified (Rod Modell Like A River Remix) (Deep House, Dub Techno)

Solomun & Stimming

Brillinat!

Christian Martin Dirtybird Summer 2008 Mix

At The Phone

Awesome chours, awesome Lykke Li, awesome Fred Falke. Awesome!

Lykke Li - I’m Good I’m Gone (Fred Falke Vocal Remix) (French House, Vocal, Pop)

This has been around for a few days now and I personally prefer the original to the Cirez D remix.

Christian Smith & John Selway - Total Departure (Techno, Detroit)

Tim Green - Revox

Having no time to write up a proper review of this wonderful new Dirtybird release here’s what the folks at wordandsound.de have to say:

At the heart of Revox’s unshakeable groove is a deceptively simple chord sequence. It swells and recedes, climbing octaves then resetting itself, as almost-discernable vocals mutter and twist in the borders. It wouldn’t be a dirtybird track without that glorious dancefloor surprise - an explosion of bells and squirming bass rounds out Revox’s second half, setting the stage perfectly for the original chord’s triumphant return.

Tim Green - Revox (Justin Martin Remix) (Minimal Techno, Tech)

And the original also for completness sake.

Tim Green - Revox (Minimal Techno, Tech)

Enjoy!

Italoboyz vs. John Coltrane - Bahia (Party Swing) (Techno, Be-Bop)

Justin Martin

Support Justin Martin and vote for his remix of Radiohead’s song Nude. Voting closes on the 1st of May so hurry up!

Radiohead - Nude (Justin Martin Remix)

And as a bonus while we all are waiting for Revox to come out, here we have an early release the “Chase The Dragon” remix.

Tim Green - Revox (Deadset Chase The Dragon Remix) (Techno)

Power Sunday

Found in Italoboyz mix that we posted a few moments earlier. A real banger from Wagon Repair. Feels a lot like Detroit techno but with funk elements and a chopped up repeating vocal saying “baby, you’re the one”, everything working in harmony towards the climax in this 13 minutes spanning track. Love it!

The Mole - Baby You’re The One (Detroit, Techno, Funk)

I’ve posted Andre Crom earlier and I simply love him. If I would be to pick a handful of favorite producers he’d definitely be one of them. This is one of his older productions from the end of 2006. Showing his DMX-like style combined with a really big bass-line and some distorted 303 sounds rising towards the climax. Awesome!

Andre Crom - Dental Care (Detroit, Techno, Minimal)

Italoboyz @ Miami WMC, 28th of March, 2008

A two hour mixset with Italoboyz of Dirtybird fame for all of you. Help us out identifying all the bombastic songs used in this set by commenting.

You’ll hear their beloved “Bahia” with “Technologic” vocals around 1h 30m, sounds really nice if you off-set for the rather poor live implemenation. And about 1h 58m you’ll hear what I believe is a new Italoboyz tune, is it just me or does it sound amazingly much like their Victor Casanova and their use of a capellas?

I hope you find the music selection on this blog right on the spot. Whether it’s micro techno, up-beat disco, french electro, or even the casual indie track. This time we found essentially hot new Danger, D.I.M, Moulinex and Fred Falke tracks for you. And even though I try to keep the amount of songs to the minimum and only post the true gems this time I’ll make another exception. Since this is only hot for so long we better hand it over to you sooner than later.

The song was quirky and laid back before and now got remixed by the french folks Danger. Starts out with Amiga inspired sounds and “Divine” vocals as backdrop then everything goes bananas and heads straight for our hearts, and of course the dancefloor.

Sebastien Tellier - Divine (Danger Remix) (Electro, Pop)

They first remixed the Cazals then Symbol One which we heard some time ago on this blog and now it’s time for Cut Copy to recieve the Moulinex treatment. Or in other words, the fucking-great-remix treatment.

Cut Copy - Lights & Music (Moulinex Remix) (Electro, Pop)

Take a bit of Feadz, D.I.M and a couple of nice beats and you get this.

Shameboy - Heartcore (D.I.M Remix) (Electro)

Classic french filter house from Fred Falke, Kris Menace and, to me unknown, Adam.

Kris Menace & Adam - Missile Test (Fred Falke Remix) (Filter, House)

Black Hole

The latest short EP from Dirtybird from our beloved Riva Starr. La Conga features classic latin rythms manifested in conga drums, groovy subs and scary vocals added here and there. Lovely!

Riva Starr - La Conga (Tech House)

This sounds fairly retro as far as choice of instruments goes but composition is as modern as techno gets today. Tel Aviv is definitely on my map.

Chaim - Don’t Panic (Techno)

Last but not least our friends over at lifeofhouse.com have reopened bigger and better after some trouble with WordPress.com. Check them out!

Orchestra

The folks over at Freerange celebrated their 100-records anniversary recently and put up a 3 track EP with various deep house/techno goodies. Ghosts In My Machine features the deep sounds that make you walk in pace with the music downtown and some wonderful synth sounds.

Milton Jackson - Ghosts In My Machine (Deep House, Techno)

This last-year-release from Dirtybird is a wonderful composition of various train horns and related sounds. Really funky and organic.

Justin Martin - Ghetto Train (Tech House, Techno)

2008 is the year of Jazz, orchestra, horns, detroit, Get Physical and Dirtybird. Here’s a nice demonstration from Get Physicals latest sampler EP also released earlier last year. Give a listen to the braying elephant!

H.O.S.H - White Elephant (Deep House, Techno)

Spring

Midas Touch has been around even longer than I’ve been breathing. Featured in Dana Bergquist’s latest mix. If you’re not feeling this chances are you don’t feel anything at all.

Midnight Star - Midas Touch (CFCF Remix) (Soul, House)

Love the chords going through the whole song. The atmosphere is reminiscent of early Eric Prydz productions but with a finer and more refined sound. Instant classic!

Manuel Tur - Boxed Rivers (Deep House, Tech)

How I just love love love this song. Almost Lo-Fi but with more disco-ish energy going about this wonderful release from Low Motion Disco.

Low Motion Disco - Love Love Love (Aeroplane Remix) (Nu-Disco, House)

Upcoming Dirtybird and Mothership

Most of us are probably eagerly awaiting the upcoming MSHIP006 slated for release in a week or so. For those who don’t follow the Dirtybird and Mothership labels searchingly I can tell you that I’m talking about possibly one of the biggest ID’s of 2007, the Italoboyz edit of the Jazz classic Bahia by John Coltrane in the late 50’s, played by Claude VonStroke in his “Essential Mix” and during WMC 2007. Hear me out and listen to this sample.

Italoboyz vs. John Coltrane - Bahia (Party Swing) (Sample, Jazz, Hard Bop, Techno)

Most visitors to this blog should recognize our affinity of the Dirtybird sound. DBIRD017 is no exception and the young Tim Green has created Revox full of surprises. You’ll hear more about it here when it is released, for sure!
