Robyn

Ok, so it happened: I found some Robyn that I actually like

Robyn: Be Mine

This is such a 3am “last song played in a set by Superstar DJ X” where the “x” is intentional jam, and not at all the Knife ripoffs that most of the rest of this stupid record is.  On the whole, I just don’t understand the Robyn phenomenon, other than-seriously, other than-that schnawsagely awesome tinkly  re-imagining of that song that really should have been done by Pink, “Show Me Love”.

Robyn: Show Me Love (acoustic or something)

This song is old as hell, or old as Clap Your Hands Say Eh!, but cut me some slack here. I mean, seriously, this is your new young pony(club)?

Robyn is a geriatric male lesbian with a Flock Of Seagulls fetish that probably killed some fat chick named Bethulah or something for the cash to start a label. But probably not really, because her attempts at thuggish ruggish

are really embarassing. Even on “Be Mine”, that little spoken-word bridge where she, like, recites the lyrics to “Missing” or whatever the hell she says about a train/rain/in vain (and can you imagine if Everything But The Girl had tried that shit being as ugly as her? Fuck, you never would have bought that copy of that one album that was totally boring except for the Todd Terry remix, and how lame is that that TODD TERRY did something we’re all still talking about like a decade later?), she attempts to end it all “yo, I’ma mutha-flippin, who’s the mutha-flippin”, and it’s like “listen, honey, where you come from the only fucking thing you could have ever jacked is a puffin“.

Does this look gangsta to you?

So maybe when Robyn’s singing about something never being hers, she means, like, a glock. Or Lil Wayne’s awesome facial tatts. Or the ability to not look like Abe Vigoda with a blonde triangle in the middle of his fucking forehead. I dunno. It’s a great song, though-pretty much perfect pop music.





Because Everyone Loves Lykke

Lykke Li

Its normally Shaun’s territory to drool over the likes of Lykke Li, but I figured I’d start out the short week with some Lykke related tunes I’ve had had floating around here for a bit.

The first is more on the prog-house side kinda of things, but still a very solid track to have randomly popping around your playlist:

Then there’s been this wonderful diskJokke Remix floating around via RCD LBL for a bit now, so be sure and snag it to add to your collection if you haven’t already:

Also, Lykke did a little collaboration with Kleerup that hit the pneumatic tubes recently –its worth a list or 5 if you haven’t caught it already.

And, on a related but unrelated note, here’s Robyn remix since, if I were Shaun, I’d have to post one with the other to appease some inner-daemon or something.

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)”

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)”

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)”

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)”

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)”

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”

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!
