I have something to confess:
I’ve started using iTunes again = [
You see, trying to manage all the incoming music I get for both Resonator and for personal deejay is getting kinda out of hand for me (seeing as its just a hobby at this point and i usually pulll around 50-60 hour work weeks), so I’ve started to use smart playlist within iTunes. I now have a playlist of all unrated tracks to easily determine exactly what has or hasn’t been listened to, and it gives me an easily way to update the genre id3 tag to my liking. I can also easily import any custom iTunes playlist straight into Traktor… sigh, can’t believe I’m telling you all this. It still lags like shit and crashes on me from time to time, but not as bad as when I had those 150gigs of music loaded into it.
So.. I’ve no idea what I want to post this week. I’m just going to put this smart playlist on random and see what comes up (I’m tired and over-worked was up all night dealing with server issues, I think I’m started to bitch like Shaun):
First up. This is like a year old?
“Do You Wanna (JoolsMF Diskob0xx Remix)” - Franz Ferdinand
Not sure if I’ve dropped anything by him before, but he does some crazy chopped and screwed remixes of main-streamish songs, and I generally always like what I hear. His website makes me giggle like a school girl as well: http://www.joolsmf.co.uk/ Though it doesn’t look like its been updated in a while. Check his MySpace here
Haha ok. This one must be karmic revenge:
She’s like, so whatever… NEXT!
Ok, this one’s been around for a while as well, but I fucking love this remix.
“We Run This (Duke Dumont Remix)” - Missy Elliot
Duke Dumont being, well, the man. This track is sooo sick. Fluokids posted up a fanfare/deejay tools track he did not that long ago, and ChazOlogy posted up live rip of his remix of Debbie D’s “Music Makes Me Dance” as well.
What next?…Yay trance!
“North American Scum(Kris Menace Remix)” - LCD Soundsystem
I forget where I found this (I’m sure HypeMachine holds the answer) but its straight up OLD Rave. Like, Late 90s euphoric trance. This track has a surprisingly high number of really good, and really trancey remixes. Hey, no complaints here.
Ok, enough shuffle. But, since this track has been stuck in my head for, oh.. 4 months now?
I don’t need her number, I just want to dance with my shirt off. Or, as we drunkenly sing around here in Grant Park, I don’t want your loving, I just want to dance with my PANTS off.
Muscles on MySpace
Muscles inside pneumatic tunes
Bonus track:
Dance rock, done right. I think I’m in love.
Terry Poison Space
And on the interwebs (their site is pretty neato)
Have a good friday/weekend kids. If you’re looking for something to do in Atlanta:
Habersham (Official Audio Therapy EP release party) @ Sabroso — Tonight (Friday).
Snowden && Klever @ Lenny’s Bar — Saturday night.
