Remix 35: Tracks Hacks Should Have Posted a Month Ago But Didn’t

I think the title says it all..

LAZRtag

LAZRtag has been send us quality remixes AND original production work for a while now, but I always seem to be unable to post when they do (yeah, lame/not an excuse, I know..) “Work Is Play”, “Detonate” and the “I Want I Want” remix are spot on scorchers, while “The Score” and the “Lollipop” remix are crowd pleasing Krunktronica.

Get Old Money

Old Money Crew hit us up with a few tracks a few hot weeks ago. “Boggin’ Freesyle” is a DJ Mehdi vs Old Money Crew tribute/mashup/dug-the-Lucky-Boy-Album-so-jacked-some-beats track? I dunno.. don’t think I’m cool enough to keep up with it all. I just know it flows pretty nicely.

Dirty Disco Youth is a Res favorite and his latest effort doesn’t disappoint. There’s been a few “Insomnia” remixes floating around in recent history, but this is the first I’ve heard that I’d totally drop on an unsuspecting dance floor.

Atlanta Superstar (and Drum N’ Bass Mastermnd) Treasure Fingers just saw “Cross The Dancefloor” receive a solid remix EP recently and is totally worth checking out via Beatport or Turntable Lab if you haven’t (Lifelike remix from the EP is recommend as well). Well Flufftronix dropped us a slick and gnarly remix number he did (which isn’t on the EP) and its pretty spectacular.

German bred MMMatthias as been catching my ear recently as well.. two remixes in particular. The “Superman” remix has been around for a bit. Its a slow building prog track that ends with hands in the hair bliss without being a banger. I’ve been able to fit it in everywhere. One of favorite remixes in recent history.

And, to round everything out.. here’s an Edit of “Kids” I did a little while back and never really did anything with. I tried vary it up some while still keep it catchy. Figured I’d toss this one up there before people totally forget about MGMT.

Remix 33 –Basstown Edition

DJ Die Young and Choyce Hacks! — Great Scott

Bigs ups to the Basstown crew for an awesome weekend in Boston. Music was spot on, every one was friendly as hell and the Boston kids were dancing their asses off everywhere I looked. So, to celebrate in true Resonator Fasion, here’s pretty much my whole set from Saturday in remix format.

Enur Ft Natasha - “Calabria 2007 (Hatchmatik Clubabria Remix)”
Links: Hatchmatik | Enur | More by Hatchmatik
I’ve loved this track since I first heard it and, given the style Die Young was throwing down, I thought this to be a quite fitting opening track. Crowd seemed to appreciate it a ton.

Grizz Le Beast - “Rock It Out (UNK vs. Phunk-a-Delic)”
Links: Grizz Le Beast
Something I snagged from the old Chazology blog a while ago; this track is getting some love again recently and I decided to test it out on the dancefloor. The result? Still fresh as fuck.

RUN DMC - My Adidas (Pilotpriest Remix).mp3
Links: Pilotpriest
One of the dopest remixes in recent months, this track has killed dancefloors comprising of two completely different types of crowds. I snagged this from KissAtlanta but they appear to have taken it down and, since its no longer posted anywhere else, I’m not gonna post it up here again. Sorry kids. You should take the time to stream it from Pilotpriest’s myspace though.. its a killer.

Three 6 Mafia - “Stay Fly (D & G remix)”
Links: D&G
Some random dude dancing his ass off with a custom shirts for the night asked if I had any Three 6 Mafia. Normally I’m not one to pander to requests at deejay nights, but I happened to have this remix that’s been chilling in my collection for almost a year now. I think i’ve posted it before, but its ravey as fuck and I don’t think anyone had any issues with it.

Juiceboxxxx - “Sweat (Blanche DuBois Remix)”
LINKS: Juiceboxxxx | Blanche DuBois
I’m sure you remember the original of this.. it was a catchy and dancy blog smash hit over the summer. Well this remix notches up the funkiness a level to absolute can’t-help-but-get-down-on-the-dance-floor levels and I can’t get enough of it. Figured this would work really well as a transition into the more electro-styled tracks I wanted to drop. Pretty sure the crowd dug this as well, but I was too busy jumping around like an idiot to tell, honestly.

The Touch - “Heart Of The City (Stuffa Remix)”
LINKS: The Touch | Stuffa
Really solid track. Not a banger like the ones I have later, but it fit perfectly as a transition into more throw-your-hands-in-the-air material. Plus looping the ending provides a perfect transition into..

Robyn - “Be Mine (Ocelot Mthrfckrs Remix)”
LINKS: OcelotMTHRFCKRS | Robyn
Best. Remix. Evar. Or at least within the recent memory. I’d been saving this one for a while and wanted to use it to highlight a live set with a crowd rather than one of my radio sets (sorry guys!). Damn did people love this. Ocelot never disappoints.

Xinobi - “BMX (Moulinex Remix)”
LINKS: Xinobi | Moulenx | Disco Texas
A staple of mine at this point. Its starts off so unassuming and then just kicks it up into high gear. Perfect track to keep up the energy coming out of Robyn’s driving vocals.

Muscles - One Inch Badge Pin (Vanshe Tech City Gym Remix)”
Links: Muscles | Muscles Music | Vanshe Tech | More Muscles | More Vanshe Tech
Older remix but still solid. I had just heard the Shizam remix of “Sweaty” earlier in the week and couldn’t get Muscles out of my head. Didn’t want to play that Shizam remix here (didn’t think it was the right flow) and this one fit right into the throw your hands up mentality I had going.

Daft Punk - “Da Funk (Thunderous Olympians This Funk Is Broken Edit)”
Links: Thunderous Olympian
Little bit of a change of pace. Should have gone with something else here in retrospect, but I thought the crowd could use a little funkiness after a few bangers in a row.

Hollywood Holt - “Caked Up (Klever remix)”

I’m a huge fan of Hollywood Holt and wanted to try this remix out on a crowd. I think it would have gone over better if more people knew who he was, but dancing was still going strong.

??? - “Rocky Theme”
Links: Flamin Hotz
Random cut from the first Flamin Hotz EP. Saw that my time was up so I figured I throw in a little something different/kinda cheesy.

And that’s that kids. Enjoy!

One Hand Loves The Remix Follow

Shaun posted up a couple tracks from the One Hand Loves The Other remix LP, and I’d figured I’d add mine into the mix as a quick addendum. Its not as readily accessible as some of the other stuff, and giving it an honest critique, I think the synth line is a little too hot and it looses a little focus towards the end. Overall its still a solid effort I think; I’ve gotten good reception from those I’ve let listen but I don’t expect it to be rocking out any dance floors.

Tonight: The Mobius! Also, Grandtheft Remix

Yes.. tonight will be my final in-station set on The Mobius (well for the foreseeable future at least). Come listen to me throw down a post-NOPHEST set chock full of dancetastic good-ness.

Listen between 8pm-9pm EST check me out on WREK Atlanta. That’s 91.1 on the FM dial, or http://wrek.org on the interwebs. You can snag my previous Mobius sets here if you like.

Now.. some new music!

DJ Grandtheft from Team Canada DJs dropped some pretty slick remixes/mashes/edits/whatever in my inbox this morning and, needless to say, I’m a fan.

The first this crunchy bouncy little number that I think I’m gonna drop tonight. Its not “Make Shaun Cry Like a Little Girl” crunchy, but its enough to get you bouncing up on the dancefloor.
