Thursday - 4 March 2010
Paul Simon – Diamonds On The Soles Of Her Shoes (mp3)
“Possibly my favorite song. Paul Simon and Ladysmith Black Mambazo making magic together. Todd Terje also does a pretty fantastic dub edit.”
Kate Bush – Running Up That Hill (mp3)
“This is the song that introduced me to Kate Bush and made me fall in love with her”
Michael Jackson – Baby Be Mine (mp3)
“This is one of the less known songs from MJ’s Thriller album. It got outshined by “Billie Jean”, “Beat It” etc. but its one of our favorites and has been played in almost every dj set we’ve spun in the last few months”
Holy Ghost! – Some Children
“This is a song by our good friends Holy Ghost! that features Michael Macdonald singing the hook. ‘Nuff said. It isn’t released yet but it will come out on their fantastic debut full length later this year.”
Mylo – Drop The Pressure (mp3)
“This track got really played out after it came out a few years back but for good reason. Its impossible not to dance when it comes on.”
Simian Mobile Disco – I Believe (mp3)
“A perfect modern pop song.”
Celestial Choir – Stand On The Word (Larry Levan Mix) (mp3)
“Religously epic tune”
Lifelike & Kris Menace – Discopolis (mp3)
“A complete 120bpm club masterpiece”
Prince – Lady Cab Driver (mp3)
“Prince at his sexiest”
Talking Heads – This Must Be The Place (Naive Melody) (mp3)
“No matter how shitty I feel this song always makes me feel better. Same thing with ‘Once in A Lifetime’ and all of the Talking heads’ catalog for that matter.”
Thursday - 19 November 2009
Classixx (formally known as “Young Americans”) released a heavy arsenal of elite remixes in 2009. Their remixes of Phoenix’s “Lisztomania” and Yacht’s “Psychic City” will not doubt go down as some of the best of the year after they dominated the indie blogosphere. Classixx have a special talent in their ability to turn an already great song into a complex, highly accessible better song, a task that is rarely done and almost never perfected. DL both tracks below, as well as a KILLER reworked version of the “Psychic City” remix.
