Jedi

Pikaya - "jedi" - [Cadenza]

Pikaya have a nack of bringing out minimal fueled funk with rhythm & melodie take"Grüne Raufaser" a favorite of mine from last year. Well there back with a 2 sided 'ep' both of which have layers upon layers of melodies real "Minimal funk"i like to call it especially Jedi. Two track's that would only sound right being released on cadenza if you get me, it just has that cadenza sound slightly minimal with refrences from both Germany & Chile all put into the pot & mixed together producing the finest flavour. Jedi is more deeper than "Fango" both excellent tracks which deserve your attention expect to hear these tracks on a sun soaked day in DC10.Cadenza hitting us with another essential ep in (Kambrium)

Speak B4 U Think

Audiofly x presents liar's paradise -"Speak B4 U Think" - (Audiofly vs Geddes Remix) -[Renaissance]

As you will have gathered by now i like anything dark and techy this is perfect for me dark late night slow building tech house something to listen to in a small dark club at about 4am im not feeling the original but this mix (Audiofly vs Geddes) has tension. Geddes who is one part of (Rekleiner) vs Audiofly so you know its going to be good.

Ssshh! The Giant's Are Sleeping

Stickroth & Ercolino -"The Giant's Sleep" - (Ripperton Remix) - [Meeresteif]

This is a really great ep from two studio partners Daniella stickroth who you may remember from her track "Chest in the attic" which was released earlier this year. She's back with a brand spanking new 'ep' (About Giants & Dwarfs) on a label called [Meeresteif] where she is collaborating with studio partner Ercolino. Here we have a four track ep featuring remixes from (Sleeper thief) aka (Miss Jools) & (Ripperton) its a great 'ep' full of deep & techy house Ripperton goes deep where as Sleeper thief goes clicky on the (Dwarfs Revenge) What a great title! The originals are clicky with strummed out keys that gradually build. Ripperton's remix is my favorite slow deep and techy great ep and remix package.

Go With The Flow

Samim - "Heater" - [Promo]

This is such a great fun track from Samim which works so well i dont know what he sampled but it sounds so familar! sounds a bit like a harmonica? i can see people dancing round a fire out in the outback whilst wearing cowboy hats to this a proper family get together drinking dancing & lots of laughter its a summer anthem in the making. Sven vath has been rinsing it so much! He played it twice in the same night and used it to close on. Theres alot of hype around his album and particularly this record. Its out on (Get Physical) in mid july with his new album "Flow" not far behind being released in september.

Ghostdriver

Ruede Hagelstein - "Ghostdriver" -[Upon You]

This is so good! A drum track with a Villalobos esq way about it coming of a new label, set up by Marco Resmann aka phage [Upon You] listening to it through computer speakers dont really do much for it when its on a decent soundsystem you realise the power the track has, it keeps giving and building, full of bite & a tribal like bass from the drums, keeping your ears pricked for the full 8 mins. Keep an eye out for this label as they have some more upcoming releases on the way.

Im off to go see Cobblestone jazz live @ secret sundaze in a hour i cant wait im like a school kid in a sweet shop, after working at wimbledon most of the week i decided not to work the mens final and also the final day of the competition, instead im off into london to canvas for some excellent live electronic music in this wonderfull sunshine, enjoy the rest of your sunday whatever you may be doing.

Just to complement the post with some pure nostalgia...
Refused - Pump the breaks [Startrec, 1993]

A Quick Fly By

Simon Baker - "The Fly" - (My My Remix) - [Connaisseur Supérieur]

I had a real hard decision in which mix to post of this latest track from Simon baker entitled the Fly, theres been a few tracks called the fly in the past take the Tiefschwarz track remixed by Steve bug which sounds like a fly buzzin around, well i say a few tracks maybe only one it seems like theres more, anyway enough of the fly talk im rambling on. So i choose the My My remix of the fly it really is a excellent remix. It just i repeat JUST! has the edge on the original, both worth your hard earned money the My My mix tipped the scales for me go out & buy the package & see what you think.

Lost On The Way To DC10

Troy Pierce - "Lost On The Way To DC10" - (Berlin Version) - [M_NUS]

Its quite funny i should post this as we had fun getting a little lost, not on the way to DC10 but on the way to space for the opening party, but as there is not a track called lost on the way to space this will have to do, taken from his new ep (Gone Astray) i like this track lots let the groovy hypnotic keys embed themself in your mind.

Optimus Tron

I like robots. Especially big ones equipped with gigantic weapons of mass destruction. Naturally I'm a bit of a Transformers fan. Today I'm going to see the (new) movie at the cinema. So I thought it was fitting to make a Transformers-special post, not to be taken too seriously.

Lion - The Transformers
The theme for the 1986 animated movie. Typical eighties rock. Pretty awful, haha.

Transformers opening theme
TV series intro music. Only 35 seconds, but aahh the memories.

Transformers theme (techno remix)
No idea where this is from or who made it, but it's pretty decent. I remember hearing it a long time ago, so it's not exactly fresh. Perfectly diggable though. Contains congas break and 303 robot sounds for the win.

I'm expecting the soundtrack to the new movie to be quite horrible, we'll see though.

Hoomid

Glacier - Ultrasonic Humidfie [Wagon repair, 2007]
Quirky minimalism, comfy and sedative. A simple approach that works wonders. Off the Rocky mountains EP. Glacier = Crazy Larry & Pier Bucci. I'd really like to see this track remixed into a dancefloor wildcard.

Imatran Voima - Nuttin' But Leechin' [Mighty robot, 2007]
Imatran's latest album is named "Welfare state of mind", released in april. I have only recently listened through it 2-3 times and I'm actually a bit disappointed. Here's one of the songs I appreciate.

Unite

Burial - "Unite" - [Box Of Dubs Cdr/Soul Jazz Records]

More from the south london crooner Burial. This being one of his finest to date gives me a shiver down my spine, a truly wonderfull piece the whole comp is great digital mystikz, kode9 Skream! etc all feature be sure to pick this little box of dubs up.

Also Burials NEW album is dropping soon on Kode9 [hyperdubs] label something to look forward to, i heard a 1 min snip of a track called Stairwell all i can say is WOW.

Stainless memory

Sven Weisemann - Stainless [Styrax leaves, 2007]
More from Sven, this time off his newest release "Vivid Memento" EP on Styrax Leaves. More tempo to these tunes, and a little punchier compared to previous outing Shade. Still deep and the liquid flow intact. Stainless, A2, representing the ep quite well I believe.

I heart-tek you

Got quite the super post here...

Soultek - Analogue heart (soultek's beatport mix) [Soundshift, 2007] (buy, buy)
One hundred percent power hit - Soultek's towering creation that is Analogue Heart. The original together with a remix by Area a bit similar to this one is included in the Soundshift [detroit] deal which is pressed on smoked, clear vinyl. Limited to 500 copies. Mean! Pick this up and you won't be disappointed. It's fabolous, twinkling minimal detroit techno, with some freshness injected making it shine brighter than most. Highly recommended.

Jupiter Black ft. Fred Ventura - Hold me [Clone, Aube, 2007] (buy)
Summer Italo Disco time! Massive old school vibes from this track. Ultra melodic, total vocal disco expressway to cheesy love-land. "Hooold me, put your arms arooouund me. Just feel mee, my heart is beating for yoouu!". This file is from CBS top 100, 2006 (when Hold me wasn't even released, hehe) - speaker in the begining & an abrupt ending.

Goldenbrown

The Stranglers - "Goldenbrown" - [Emi 1982]

Singing about taking heroin! which some people didn't know, Some countries banned it on the radio back when, not heard it in a while and just finished watching snatch (where i heard it again) so i thought id put it up for one & all.

Phunk

Shinedoe - "Phunk" - (Steve Angello Remix) - [White]

First things first dont be put off because its remixed by Steve Angello you dont have to worry about any cheesey dated vocals! this track (The original go CHECK IT !) was big back in the summer of 2005 a proper speaker freaker, huge in DC10, Anyway its back with a 2007 remake he keeps everything intact just adds a bit more tension and extends it which works well the original had great plays from Luciano, Villalobos, Loco Dice & Sven Vath who put it on the sound of the sixth season. Angello liked it so much that he remixed it himself Loco Dice used it in his now classic mixmag summer @ Dc10 cd, all i can say is dont sleep on this one or be put off.

Many Lives, Many Masters

Its been a bit of a stessfull week here for me as one of my family had life threatening surgery the other day i knew everything was going to be alright from my spirit & it was not this persons time to go, anyway things have come good alot quicker than we all expected so getting back to normality is good for me, so i decided to come to london to search for a job as its my time to move on. Its a good release for me to write about it as i keep things bottled up and pretend everythings alright It gets it off my shoulders so to speak ( just incase you wondered what i was going on about)

Canvas - "The Cat" - [Rebelone]

On a lighter note im going to the secret sundaze party on sunday with (Cobblestone Jazz) 'live headlining, giles smith & james priestley etc so looking forward to that, looks like a night in tonight as my mates at work so i have the house to myself ......So on with the music i really like this track maybe it could of been a few mins shorter but as its (Radio Slave) under his guise (Canvas the Cat) for the [Rebelone] series on a offshoot from [Crosstown Rebels] il let him off. Only the best get to produce on the Rebelone series & i think you will all agree Mr Edwards deserves a track, so here we have it enjoy!
