Ok, so if you’re in New York this weekend.. then you’re in a quite a conundrum. I count 4 events going on tonight that are worthy of Res Luvin’ and I just don’t know what to do! Well, that’s wrong. I do know what I’m going to do: Try and get to all of them!

Round 1: Shapes @ The Tank.

While not a deejay party, Shapes put on a great show for Personality Crisis earlier in the month and its totally worth checking out if you’re into the whole glam/punk/rock scene at all:

Round 3: Valerie @ Webster Hall (flyer)
The Valerie explosion finally hits the states. They’ve got several dates scheduled nationally, and this is sure to be a hit. Time slots below are what I was told (so don’t blame me if they’re wrong) but different people seem to have different times for the event (even the page on webster hall has conflicting start times..). My plan is to make it here after X/M and then lose my mind to Russ Chimes.

Timeslots:
12:30 - 02:00 : COLLEGE - dj
02:00 - 03:00 : LOVELOCK - live set
03:00 - 03:45 : ANORAAK - live set

GRUM It Up!

The Finger on the Pulse crew are currently holding a remix contest for GRUM’s latest track: “Woah”. You can download the parts here so, you know, you should get on that. Deadline is Oct 28th! Its in support of his first US appearance, Nov 1st at Death By Audio (map).

Grum is a Leeds based producer/deejay who has found his way into “hacks’ personal best of” during the course of this year. I posted the Edwin Van Cleef Remix of “Heartbeats” previously (so check that if you haven’t), but here’s more fun, dance fueled tracks that should prove to you that the Nov 1st show is totally going to be the dog’s bollocks.

Here’s the orginal of “Woah”, to get a feel for what this remix contest is all about!

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Grum - “Woah”

Grum tackled Moulinex’s recent track “Breakchops” (you know how much I heart the Disco Texas Crew) and its totally dance-floor worthy:

Here’s another remix he did, this time for Anoraak out of the Valerie Camp. He keeps the lush soundscape qualities of the original, while adding some “umf” in the form of a chunky bassline and some beefed up synth and drum action:

Anoraak - “Nightdrive With You (GRUM’s New Wave Remix)”
LINKS: Valerie Cherie | Anoraak | More from Anoraak

And, to round things out, here’s Damage’s take on Grum’s “Go Back”. I’m surprised I never heard this track in more sets, personally. It verges on the border of dark and nasty, while keeping things just straight enough to grab the attention of everyone: chip action during the buildup, grungy bass lines, and a good dose of chopping and screwing.

Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Grum - “Go Back (Damage Remix)”

So, to summarize: Download. Remix. Submit. Dance.

Buffet Libre Presents: Rewind Part 1

The crew over at Buffet Libre have been assembling this collection for quite some time now and they just announced it is finally complete. Sixty quality covers/remixes of your favorite (or obscure) 80s tracks all available for free in one nicely wrapped package. So what does that mean? Well it means that good ol’ hacks here has been listening all 60 tracks on repeat trying to pick out my favorites. I’ve tried to stick to some that aren’t littering hype… but no guarantees.

Dragonette takes the ZZ top sound and destroys it with an almost monotone slathering take on the rocking original. Something about this just screams sexy to me. And yes I’m a dude talking about girls singing about sharp dressed man and just referred to that as “sexy”.

Another dance floor stormer, Mr Miyagi tears it up. They did an awesome klaxons remix back int he day, and also put out a really solid mix that had “lasers” in the title (so you know it had to be awesome)

All the rest of the individual tracks can be download from buffetlibre.net (completely free) or as a bundled zip file from MEGA Upload. Its worth the download to just queue them all up one day and just absorb all the different takes on everything.

Much thanks to the Buffet Libre Crew! I’ll provide a full track list below the cut.

Xinobi + Moulinex + Disco Texas = Love

Both Xinobi and Moulinex have been personal favorites for quite some time now. I’ve rocked out tracks by both of them on more than five occasions and they just don’t seem to get old. Well there’s good news for us (or for me; screw you guys if you don’t like ‘em) since they finally launched their label this weekend: Disco Texas

The first release from it is Xinobi’s “Day Off” and its a driving disco-infused french house rumble the walls and tear down the house track. Its available via Beatport and is totally worth the couple of dollars. Honestly kids? I went out and purchased because that’s just how awesome they are. I’ll be posting 128s that that are floating around for listening purposes, but you should really do your self the favor and get the 320s.
