You kids should hate me.

I’ve all this good music over flowing my inbox, and here I am not posting any of it. Between work, moving, a birthday, holidays, a few going away parties, new years and just general laziness, I’ve been slack in my postings. But fear not! Well maybe. I’m currently residing in the middle of nowhere for a few months (so long atlanta!) and de-compressing/saving up/apartment hunting. I’ve a ton of stuff backlogged, so lets get started with on old favorite of mine: Dirty Disco Youth

See he’s on the loose again with some new production work. The last I heard from him was the “Idealistic” remix and then since then its been pretty silent, but he’s back championing a new maximal vibe.

Dirty Disco Youth - The Kids Want Maximal

This is the flag ship track for his new sound I guess you could say. Its a hard-edge track filled with digitized vocals and relentless synth lines all up in your face. This grew on me the more I listened to it, so give it a few spins before your give your judgment.

Next up, he remixes Outlander by taking the old-school house sound I’ve always loved (even when it wasn’t so old school) and adds in a grungy, tweaked out guitar over-tone to it. It stays housey and funky while getting a update for the times.. its another solid track to work its way into the feet of party goers everywhere.

Lastly, he comes to bat on a New Young Pony Club remix. I personally dog the synth lines and backing tracks, but think there’s a bit too much of the NYPC vocal on top of it. Minimize the vocals, Maximize the music.. or at least that’s my take on it. Also speed it up about 5bpm for the best effect! Check it out for yourself and see what you think:

ADDITIONALLY! Here’s a banging live set he put together. It layers track on top of track and does some interesting blending of multiple tracks/remixes by the same artist on top of one another, including a lot of older material you may have forgotten about. Definitely worth a listen or three.

And, on a personal note, I’m in Boston this week and will be deejaying here on Saturday! Drop me an email if you live here.
