Anthems

Back from MK tour. WMC is finally over. What’s next?

I like to point out “Venganza” is out now on iTunes for the low price of 99 cents. It will have remixes out soon by some great artists that I dearly respect. Some of you may have heard them in my dj sets.

A follow up single will….follow up?

You can buy it here.

Music:

Miles Dyson kills it with this one. Just listen to the speech and watch it all come together after the massive buildup.

Out on plasmaUS.

Miles Dyson – Anthem (Original Mix)

The horn samples make me feel like I’m laying out on the sand in a nice Cuban beach. Can’t wait to try this out in Mexico soon.

Out on Melodica.

The Perfect Wedding

-Lazaro

A young couple standing at the altar listen to the preacher recite the wedding vows. Speak now or forever hold their pea—This is a horrible idea, said the priest. The bride is in disbelief…that is, after the groom agreed with the priest. Daddy runs over until he is clothes-lined by the groom. I always hated you, said the groom, you taste like old…every time I kiss your daughter I taste your oldness. The priest reaches over and lays a thick kiss on the bride. He agrees and high-fives the groom. The mother of the bride screams, followed by a head-to-wall banging. Oh great, now I have to get someone to paint over that, said the priest. The old lady sitting at the organ plays a baseball tune. The ring boy picks up a candlestick and starts swinging away. That’s my boy over there, said a dad to a woman.

Music:

Sander Van Doorn gives London’s pop-songstress Sia a major (or minimal) remix treatment. When the vocal break kicks in ala Blondie, suddenly a name like “The girl you lost to cocaine” is all too suiting.

Out on Doorn records.

Sia – The girl you lost to cocaine (Sander Van Doorn Remix)

Classic….NUFF SAID.

A few weeks ago I was scouting for new tracks on a record site and I saw a white label for Daft Punk’s, One more time. I know you’re thinking “not another Daft Punk remix!” but I’m here to say this is probably the best Daft Punk remix I’ve heard since Para One’s take on Prime time of your life. Anyway, these guys are known as The House Moguls . I hit them up on myspace and they were kind of enough to send me this remix. It has been killing dance floors everywhere I have dropped it. It has also gathered attention from fellow colleagues Mstrkrft and LA Riots. Wait no more, I have been given permission to let this beast out into the wild. Enjoy and remember where you heard it first.

Genius might be the ability to say a profound thing in a simple way.

-Bukowski

nowadays, “intellectuals” have pushed the limits of idiocy to unforeseen territory. unlike our famous great thinkers, this new spawn of pseudo smarties have a irritating tone of self-accomplishment (not self-enlightenment).

Music

As if not enough aussie’s were holding it down already, Dirty South is at it again. This remix of Kaskade is a obvious sign that the underground and the mainstream are mingling. Kaskade played three shows in one night recently. New year’s eve he played LA, Vegas, and San Fran,

Out on Ultra Records. Among many others.

Kaskade – Sorry (Dirty South Mix)

In celebration of the swedish house mafia still being “that fucking good,” here is a classic by none other than Eric Prydz and Steve Angello.

Out on cr2 Records.

Fox

She may have shitty tattoos but she’s a fox….literally.

Tonight is the first night in a while where I have gone cold turkey…no crown whatsoever in me. I’m enjoying a couple of nights home before I’m off to “work” again.

Before I get into future happenings, I’d like to point out that the show in Atlanta @ Echo Park was amazing. Unfortunately, we got cut by the sound guy at exactly 2am, even though the tent was still packed with “green” (see hippie) kids yelling “one more” for a good 15 minutes straight. Needless to say, they never did get one more.

The CMJ show at Studio B w/ Mstrkrft/Z-trip was probably even crazier. And that is when I noticed that I am somewhat living the life of a rapper. I don’t want to state exactly how many bottles of crown are gone through each night because it’s really an absurd number.

I know I listed a couple of dates on the last post and I’m actually correcting a few things. But for the latest in shows, just go to the myspace page.

Oct 28. Vegas @ Revolution w/ Mstrkrft & LA Riots
Nov 15. Toronto @ Tattoo
Nov 21. San Diego @ 4th and B w/ Mstrkrft
Nov 22. Mexico City @ Pasageuro
Nov 23. Juarez @ Moroccos w/ Mstrkrft
Nov 24. Mexicali @ Fex Centro De Eespectaculos w/ Mstrkrft
Dec 7. Buenos Aires @ Personal Fest

More to come. Again check the myspace page for latest as I think I’ll stop announcing shows on here.

Music:

So there was this video of me in Tijuana….

I’ve gotten quite numerous responses about what song I’m playing while the dangerous pyrotechnics was happening. The track is called Coup d’etat. It is the Hook n Sling remix. Original artist is Syndey’s own, Bass Kleph.

As an act of kindness (and possibly just tired of answering the same question), I’ve decided to post this one.

Out on Vacation Records.

Bass Kleph – Coupe d’etat (Hook n Sling Remix)

Tomas Andersson’s, Washing Up was about on every dj’s playlist last year…specifically Tiga’s take on it. Well for ‘07 Skint records has re-released it, this time including a Tim Deluxe remix. The remix mostly adds some major percussion and some nice marching snare buildups.

Out on Skint Records.

Dynasty

I haven’t had the chance to keep you guys posted on current happenings and it is a little redundant to bring up the past but I’ll just say it’s been a great couple of weeks.

So what’s next?

Sept 28. Tijuana @ Naza Space Circus
Oct 13. Atlanta @ Echo Project Festival
Oct 18. New York @ CMJ AM Only Showcase @ Hiro Ballroom
Oct 19. New York @ Studio B w/ Z-Trip & Mstrkrft
Nov 23. Cd Juarez @ Moroccos w/ Mstrkrft
Nov 24. Mexicali @ Fex Centro De Espetaculos w/ Mstrkrft
Dec 7. Miami @ Pawn Shop Lounge w/ Steve Aoki & Mstrkrft

More dates as they confirm including a special party New Years Eve.

Music:

Shena is a UK born session singer. Most notably her voice has that Soul-House-Diva sound that some of us love so dearly. Some of you may remember a few posts back I mentioned some Aussies by the name of Aston Shuffle. If you went ahead and downloaded their Rocket Men remix, that was posted here earlier, you’d be pleased to find it’s a similar electro treat. Well, they’ve done another fine job and have remixed Shena’s, Eletrosexual. Now I’ll be honest, Aston Shuffle has done away with a lot of the vocals but it’s still a good track. If you want to hear Shena in all her natural glory, I’d recommend to check out some of her original stuff.

Out on Hussle Black. Sublabel of Hussle recordings which is a sublabel of Ministry of Sound (Australia).

Shena – Electrosexual (Aston Shuffle Remix)

Most of you are probably familiar with Dj Mehdi’s, Signatune. If you aren’t….here’s a video.

Well, here’s where it came from. (Mostly) everyone samples.

Dynasty – Strokin’

The Perfect 10: Mixtape

So why is it called the perfect 10? Is it because Jessica Biel is a perfect 10? Possibly, but that’s irrelevant right now. I haven’t publicly released a mixtape since…well I can’t remember. I felt like the older mixtapes were a bit more trendy with what was happening in music at the moment. This (on the other hand) is house music.

The length of the mixtape is 10 tracks (so thats how the name came about!). Clocking in at about an hour.

Tracklistings? Who needs those either way. But if you surely must know, shoot me an email.
