Remix 36: Metronomy Mayhem!

Personal favorite Metronomy dropped their latest offering “Nights Out” to a UK Release recently and a digital copy has been on repeat for a bit now. It comes as this huge refreshing set of sounds, bleeps and oddly disjointed synths which coalesce into this massively appealing listening experience. Most of their stuff seems unavailable for purchase in the US, so looks like you’re going to have to wait/dig around for the album.

Anyway, in celebration of this release (and in true Hacks style): here’s a collection or remixes/mashups for your enjoyment!

First, an original from “Nights Out” .. this has been floating around in various forms for a while now, but completely encapsulates Metronomy’s sound:

Metronomy - “My Heart Rate Rapid” (V0)

From earlier this year.. a very solid breaky remix:

Pretty solid mix, kinda grungy and a bit harder.. good for the middle of a set.

Nice little edit/mixup from the Mad Decent crew… only 128 though, so be wary of its usage!

From waayyy back in the day (Maybe you remember from one of my Mobius sets?) It just screams fun and is a perfect way to end this post.

The Other Night Fred Falke Saved My Life

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 Friday Week 11: Shuffle It!

I have something to confess:

I’ve started using iTunes again = [

You see, trying to manage all the incoming music I get for both Resonator and for personal deejay is getting kinda out of hand for me (seeing as its just a hobby at this point and i usually pulll around 50-60 hour work weeks), so I’ve started to use smart playlist within iTunes. I now have a playlist of all unrated tracks to easily determine exactly what has or hasn’t been listened to, and it gives me an easily way to update the genre id3 tag to my liking. I can also easily import any custom iTunes playlist straight into Traktor… sigh, can’t believe I’m telling you all this. It still lags like shit and crashes on me from time to time, but not as bad as when I had those 150gigs of music loaded into it.

So.. I’ve no idea what I want to post this week. I’m just going to put this smart playlist on random and see what comes up (I’m tired and over-worked was up all night dealing with server issues, I think I’m started to bitch like Shaun):

First up. This is like a year old?

“Do You Wanna (JoolsMF Diskob0xx Remix)” - Franz Ferdinand

Not sure if I’ve dropped anything by him before, but he does some crazy chopped and screwed remixes of main-streamish songs, and I generally always like what I hear. His website makes me giggle like a school girl as well: http://www.joolsmf.co.uk/ Though it doesn’t look like its been updated in a while. Check his MySpace here

Haha ok. This one must be karmic revenge:

“Girlfriend” - Avril Lavigne

She’s like, so whatever… NEXT!

Ok, this one’s been around for a while as well, but I fucking love this remix.

“We Run This (Duke Dumont Remix)” - Missy Elliot

Duke Dumont being, well, the man. This track is sooo sick. Fluokids posted up a fanfare/deejay tools track he did not that long ago, and ChazOlogy posted up live rip of his remix of Debbie D’s “Music Makes Me Dance” as well.

What next?…Yay trance!

“North American Scum(Kris Menace Remix)” - LCD Soundsystem

I forget where I found this (I’m sure HypeMachine holds the answer) but its straight up OLD Rave. Like, Late 90s euphoric trance. This track has a surprisingly high number of really good, and really trancey remixes. Hey, no complaints here.

Ok, enough shuffle. But, since this track has been stuck in my head for, oh.. 4 months now?

“Ice Cream” - Muscles

I don’t need her number, I just want to dance with my shirt off. Or, as we drunkenly sing around here in Grant Park, I don’t want your loving, I just want to dance with my PANTS off.

Dance rock, done right. I think I’m in love.
