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.

Dirty Disco Youth Works It!

Dirty Disco Youth!

You know somthing’s got to be good when
a) I post more than once in a day for it and
b) I forgo waiting until Remix Friday to post a remix.

Well I just heard Dirty Disco Youth’s newest remix of Digitalism - “Idealistic” and its just killer!

Its gonna hit the rest of the blogsphere soon, but he was totally cool with us sharing it with you, so here you go:

Be sure to use it next time you’re in need of a dance floor to explode into a mass of sweaty, heaving bodies with hands franticly waving in the air.

He’s also a spectacular producer and quite a solid deejay. I’ve used his “Shall We Dance” single in deejay sets more times than I can count, so you should as well:

Visit Dirty Disco Youth on MySpace and give him some Resonator Loving, and then browse the previous hype on him to fill your hunger.

Digitalism

We here at Resonator have been Digitalism fans for a long time now, at least ever since the boys turned us on to the green lights of Tom Vek with their brilliant remix that made a strange, neo-David Byrne vocal the break out stomper of 2005. Digitalism has been tearing up other people’s work with edgy production work that’s entirely electronic but more likely to inspire moshing than dancing around one’s handbag (hence their recent Mixmag disc, “Rock the Rave”).

Digitalism — Aren’t they cute?!

One of my favorite of their remixes is for the fairly mellow Cut Copy. They took “Going Nowhere” and added a tension building squiggle and that raises the track from polite cocktail party fare to full on dance floor mayhem. On record, it’s actually Digitalism’s work that better represents the live energy of Cut Copy than the band themselves.

Our boys Simian Mobile Disco heavily featured the charmingly named Martian Assault edit of Digitalism’s “Jupiter Room” both live and on their Club NME mix. The original, featured on their new album Idealism, is still my favorite, deserving more than a little bit of a comparison to Daft Punk’s harder cuts off of Homework, especially “Burning” and “Da Funk.”

The Daft punk similarities don’t end there– these guys are definitely in line for the Robots’ crowns (or helmets?) when they retire. “Apollo-Gize” borrows the baroque by way of the year 3000 synth lines from Discovery while managing to brilliantly walk the line between homage and rip-off.

That’s not to say that Idealism is all French flavored. I hate to court blasphemy, but Digitalism succeeds in delivering a consistently enjoyable record from start to finish, something the Daft ones have never actually done (admit it, you’ve skipped more tracks on their releases than you’ve actually let play through). Their rock influence means that just before they noodle off into quirky and unlistenable, they reign themselves in with a little guitar (as on “I Want I Want”) or some good old fashioned post punk. The best cut on the record, “Digitalism in Cairo,” is a pop and lock masterpiece that cuts, chops, slices, and dices the Cure’s “Fire in Cairo” over a bottom heavy crunch of bass line that, on a good sound system, is guaranteed to make a dance floor shudder.
