The Wombats: New(ish) Single

The Wombats!

Ok, I’ll readily admit I’m a bit behind the game on this one, but I’ve been so focused solely on dance tracks that I’ve been lacking in my rock department. Well The Wombats have released a single from their upcoming LP and I’ve seriously had it on repeat for the past week


The Wombats - “Lets Dance To Joy Division”

Its such a catchy track with throw back lyrics that I find should almost be cheesy, but for some reason are perfectly appropriate. The track pretty much invokes long haired greasy hipsters thrashing around in mock-moshpit trash fashion. I’m totally a fan and I hope you will be as well (if you aren’t already, you well informed internets savvy peoples!).

Not sure if this is even seeing a US release (to tired to do my research atm) but you can pre-order from the UK HMV site or from other locations listed on their website

And here’s the first song I heard by them that sparked this mini little love affair back almost a year ago now.


The Wombats - “Moving To New York (Alt. Version)”

Be sure and swing on over to the WombatSpace and tell them they rule.

Here’s a parting video… what!!





Tambourine Dream

Couson Cole and Pocketknife have put together a preview video of their upcoming folk remix mix CD. Video rocks and the tunes sound quite solid.

To get more of their fill, their latest show is still up on stream over at East Village Radio:

Cousin Cole & Crew - East Village Radio 09 21 2007

What do you need to know about it? Well Cole says “We got drunk in the studio, fucked around and played lots of new exclusives.”. Think that just about sums it up. Peep the tracklisting here.

If you missed it, here’s the awesome remix Cole did of Souja Boy:

Soulja Boy - “Crank Dat Soulja Boy (Cousin Cole Remix)”

And here’s a remix Pocketknife did a while back:

Fiest - Gatekeeper (Pocketknifes Faded Beach Towel Remix) (ZSHARE)

n0mad

n0mad

We’ve got some slick tunes coming our way from N0mad today.

The first is a dance floor edit of a sick track by Onira entitled “Xiao Xiao” (and yes, that’s the song title and not the band). While the original what I would call a dance metal track complete with nasty guitar riffs, audio pans and chopped up beats, its a actually bit to hectic to dance to. N0mad takes all that and wraps it all up in a fluid dance floor package making it less likely everyone will look as if their having a seizure while dancing to it (well, as much as the hipsters can not look like they’re having one).


Onira - “Xiao Xiao (N0mad Edit)”

He’s also go 2 mix tapes to share, both worth the listen:
n0mad - mixt2pe (ZSHARE)
erbot - promo mixtape (ZSHARE)

Track listings for both are available on N0mad’s MySpace

As an added bonus, here’s a solid n0mad remix of Mr. Oizo’s “Patrick 122″. Its a got a flavour spiked with skool techno meets and a touch of house with a dash of nasty.

The Chemical Brothers - EBW9 (Segue Remix)

Segue

Segue dropped us a pretty hot remix of The Chemical Brothers this week. Its bass-thumpin acid to the extreme. They go into a pretty detail story of the making of the track , but suffice to its an audio hackers delight.


The Chemical Brothers - “EBW9 (Segue remix)”

You can be sure as hell I’m going to find a way to mix this into a set soon. And by soon I mean tomorrow because I’m deejaying again for The Mobius on WREK between 7-9 (totally shameless plug).

Trixie saw Ed and Tom this past weekend up in NYC and couldn’t stop texting with how awesome they were (I GET IT ALREADY, STOP BLOWING UP MY PHONE WOMAN!) so as an added bonus, here’s “No Need” a bonus track found on the Japanese release of We Are The Night


The Chemical Brothers - “No Need”

Anyway, look for more by Segue in the future as I hear they’ve got a label deal in the works. Also be sure to stop by their MySpace and give them some props for this little bit of aural acid delight.





Atlanta Zoo

ATL’s own Gorilla Zoe will be dropping his debut album today, “Welcome to the Zoo.” Now me, I don’t know too much about Gorilla Zoe, other than he is Young Jeezy’s replacement in Boyz N Da Hood, and that his role there is way fitting, seeing as how he sounds damn near just like Jeezy. But I was driving home earlier tonight and heard this little gem on V-103….


Gorilla Zoe-You Don’t Know Me (Feat. D. Woods)

This is pop perfection. I know, I know, the rest of the album sounds pretty much like every other Atlanta/dirty south fare, but this track is gold. New rule: let’s have more exquisitely produced goodness like this coming out of our fair city because, goddammit, we’ve all heard the other stuff to death. I know it’s going to be a rarity though, since this track is the equivalent to a drum n’ bass pantywetter, and you just don’t hear a lot of good pantywetters among all the WOMPWOMPWOMP typical dn’b torrent of bullshit out there. I’m saying it now though, this is the standout track of the album.

New Layout!

Its done. I uploaded it. There’s some kinks to work out but I’ll do that over the course of this week.

Let me know what you think!

To celebrate, here’s an OCELOTMTHRFCKRS Remix of Dragonette:


Dragonette - Competition (OCELOT remix)

Rex The Dog!

Rex The Dog: Kitsune 056

Resonator Favorite Rex the Dog comes storming out with a new release on Kitsune this month. Officially released on the 10th, Circulate is wicked little number of techno-pop synth bleepy goodness. Its a 2 track release with “Circulate” on the A-Side, and “Italian Blond” taking up the b-side –both quality and both the Rex The Dog sound that we just absolutely love.

Not gonna drop the original on ya (You should just go out and purchase it) but here’s a JBAG Edit to whet your appetite:


Rex The Dog - “Circulate (JBAG Edit)”

You may purchase “Circulate” from any of the following:
Juno Records
Turn Table Lab
Kitsune’s frustrating as hell shoppe (seriously, its the “featured new release” yet you can’t click on it, you have to scroll through the hard to read interface before finding it half-way down the list).

Visit Rex The Dog on MySpace and on the Interwebs.

And if you haven’t yet (maybe you’ve been in a k-hole for 2 years?) Check out the Rex The Mini Mix and melt into a puddle of liquid cuteness.

Add bonus: check out his amazing video from his debut release “Prototype”:





Deejay Mix: Rick Sierra

Rick Sierra

Our good friend Rick Sierra just sent over a live set from his recorded down in Orlando. Its full on progressive house with a plenty of diva-house vocals to make you wish you looked good in drag… well almost.


Rick Sierra - LIVE in Orlando (July 2007)

No tracklist but I’m sure I could track one down if needed. Here’s what Rick has to say:

This is a set that I performed LIVE in Orlando in July of this year.

Sorry that it took so long to get it ready for posting. The person who recorded the entire night is always recording parties in the area, so it took him some time.

This set was played from midnight to 1am, hence the harder banging tracks.

I did play earlier in the night for another hour and I played more chill stuff since I was opening and had the chance to get used to the equipment at the club.

The entire set was played on 2 Pioneer CDJ 1000’s and a SWEET Urei knob mixer. I had not played on one of theose mixers in years and it reminded me of how good they are.

Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated!

Thanks and enjoy!
