The Other Night Fred Falke Saved My Life

Fred Falk - Live @ Tribeca Grand NYC

I meant to put this out on Sunday, and then my title would have been more “Last Night blah blah blah” but I’m lazy and swamped with work and blah blah blah, so oh well.

Saturday night played host to Hacks his new friend Toba taking a trip to Tribeca Grand and dancing till the lights came on while one bearded deejay/bass player named Fred Falke rocked the crowd. But wait, I should tell this story properly. See it all started with this:

Toba: “Hey, let’s hang out”
Hacks: “Ok, I’m going to see Fred Falke tonight, wanna go”
Toba: “Who’s that?”
Hacks: “This really good deejay/producer”
Toba: “Ok”

And there we have it! Thus began a night of epic proportions sprouting from those elegant and powerful words. Well, it didn’t quite begin then..

We had to traverse our way to the Tribeca Grand first, spend an (even-for-manhattan) excessive amount on a couple drinks while one solid opener (David P) and one not so solid opener (the other guy) got the crowd warmed up to the night.

Then comes Fred Falke, looking all in the world like he just finished watching a football game in the corner pub, ready to rock out the crowd.

I danced. From start to finish. Until the lights came on and my sweat drenched body was protesting (Seriously kids, I was so sweaty my shirt was dripping water on the floor). He opened with a live bass performance, proceeded to destroy things with a 3 hour, trigger finger controlled Ableton set, and then winded the night down with another live bass performance before the lights finally came on and everyone scurried like rats to GTFO.

It was the best night of dancing I’ve had in a long long time. In fact, I danced so hard, I couldn’t even stop to talk to the cute girl with the red headband next to me. Ah well.

And now, here’s the mega post. Because I doubt half of you even read the above anyway:

I distinctly recall “Sanctuary” from Saturday.. it totally got my 5th wind kicked in and desrves to be the first track you listen to.

Remix Week 15: Musings and Music


Hot Chip - Eating Records

Hot Chip played here in Atlanta on Monday and was one of the most amazing lives shows I’ve seen in some time. Not only did they make their old stuff dance able (I really dis-liked Coming on Strong in its cd form) but they played some new tracks and everything from The Warning was re-edited for a live audience. “Over and Over” was turned into this dance floor stormer with a throw back trance build up and nasty grungy bassline to die for. Special thanks to Emory Radio for somehow managing to bring them to Atlanta. They’re also releasing a DJ Kicks soon as well –that should be spectacular.

Also, I’ve been thinking for a month that people should start playing out tracks from Aphrodite’s Urban Jungle. I mean everyone I know has been on this turning-hip-hop-tracks into-house-tracks kick and well, that cd was the first time I’d heard that en-mass. Everything is being brought back, so why not?

And while I’m at it, I’m going to bring back Azzido Da Bass’ “Doom’s Night” for shits and wiggles. I pulled the vinyl out of my crates randomly and made the executive decision that it needs a come back.

Azzido Da Bass - “Dooms Night (Stanton Warriors Remix)”

He’s still around, if anyone is curious. He had his “Lonely By Your Side” released on Kitsune Maison’s Compilation 2.

Thanks to the new iHeartComix Blog, we’ve got a Flosstradamus remix of Mat and Kim’s “Yeah Yeah”.

Matt and Kim - “Yeah Yeah (Flosstradamus Remix)”

I’m really digging all the throw back rave references they put into all their remixes (no shit hacks, really?!?!). Layering the “Where’s Your Head At?” synth line under the whole track totally does it for me.

Here’s the direct zShare link.

Troniks sent us a fun little mashup/remix. Its sure to get the kids dancing in that “we’re not quite drunk enough to let ourselves have fun, but are on our way there with help from the deejay” kinda way.

Troniks - “I Want You To Drop It Like It’s A Hot Strawberry”.

(Sorry no flash player for this one –it doesn’t like the encoding)

Check him out the TronikSpace and give him a shout out.

While we’re at it: here’s a rave mashup of Yo Majesty! (Have I mentioned that we love them?).

Yo Majesty feat. Wolf & Cub - “Club Action (TF’s 1/2ALIVE rave version)”.

Its fun. Trust me.

Thanks again to the excellent column by Palms Out Sounds I’ve got another Chromeo remix to bring you. There are a ton of these floating around, and I think this one is now my favorite. Guns n’ Bombs WTF again.

Chromeo - “Fancy Footwork (Guns n’ Bombs Remix)”.

Lastly, I’ve been informed that I was wrong (it happens). The Riot in Belguim track I posted a while back was incorrectly attributed as a VanShe Tech remix. That’s WRONG!.. Its the final mastered version of the original. My aplogies to The Boys in Riot in Belgium. Regardless “La Musique” may be my favorite track so far this year. Its amazing like whoa!

If you haven’t checked it yet, here is is:

And as an added bonus, here’s a killer remix they did of KIM(from the Presets)’s “Wet ‘n’ Wild”.

Now, a quick moment of self promotion:
Some friends are putting together an Art Show on May 26th at East Side Lounge here in Atlanta and I’m going to be deejaying both during the event and then on and off through the night as well.

URBAN. An exhibit of city life

I’ll give out some more info once we get a few more things finalized, but I should note it will also coincide with the launch of our new sister site! Formal announcement on that to come a bit later, but rest assured its going to be hot.

Have a good weekend kids, hacks out!
