Opposites Attract

Yo Boppers.

mercurius fm mondays  Opposites Attract

Here’s a post with some house & techno classics. First up we have a techno banger from 1997 by CZR. Its a simple ghetto track and goes pretty hard. The beat is still fresh, especially these days with artists like Congorock and Diplo. Definitely check this out.

CZR – For Your Ass

-

Finally, we have a track by Together aka Thomas Bangalter & DJ Falcon. Fans of this site shouldn’t need an introduction to either. This track comes from the early 2000s when loopy sampled disco choruses were all the rage… well I guess they still are (quack). Check out this huge track for a bit of history..

Until next time!

Synthy & Sexy

Word up Boppers.

mercurius fm mondays 5989434556 fa1a4a7a66 Synthy & SexyArt by Melissa B in Toronto

-

Starting off today with a track off of Basement Jaxx’s second EP from way back in ’95. It has a lot of the things that make us love Basement Jaxx including lots of harmonies, strings, and a jazzy housey feel.

Basement Jaxx – Be Free

-

Next, we have a synthy and sexy track by Lil Louis. If you like tracks by artists like Alan Braxe and Fred Falke, then definitely check this out. This is more or less the precursor to that sound in House format.

Lil’ Louis & The World – French Kiss

-

Finally, I’d like to announce on here my next single is called SLUG. Its a gnarly techno track coming out on a new music project called Broken Synth. Go to their website to preview the upcoming track and learn more.

Until next time!

Direct Drive

Hey Boppers.

mercurius fm mondays  Direct Drive

Today we’ll cover some oldies but goodies. What better than a Cajmere remix… This one is of Dajaé, a singer he produced for several times. As per usual, the Cajmere remix is a darker and more abstract version of the original. Quite classic sounding.

Dajaé – U Got Me Up (Cajmere’s Underground Goodie Remix)

-

Next up we have some filtered French goodness. This a vinyl only release by Sebastien Leger from 2001. This particular track is really fun and easy to play out. Enjoy.

Until next time!

Forrest Pump

Happy 4th of July!

Lets take a moment and let Mr Hendrix start us off….

Now on to the House & Techno…

Today I’m featuring a project by Australian producer Acid Jacks called Forrest Pump. If you love heavy techno with big crushing drums and ghetto house samples thrown in the mix, then you’ll love this FREE ep he posted to his Soundcloud.

Get it here…

Forrest Pump – Pump ‘N’ Grind EP

You can buy more Forrest Pump music at Beatport.

Check out Acid Jacks for more techno-y goodness and his record label, Idiot House Records, for more great music.

As an added bonus, we all (should) have heard the future classic Jack On The Moon by Carte Blanche. A great track off their latest EP, White Man On The Moon. I made an edit of the track for my DJ sets, removing most of the piano parts and making it a bit more aggressive… You can check out my edit here.

Have a great day.

Before

Hey Boppers.

mercurius fm mondays  Before

Starting things off with some old school goodness, we’ve got a track from 1995 by Simon of Basement Jaxx. This track is more jazzy than I usually care for, but its good none the less. Its a clear demonstration of how good Basement Jaxx were even before their commercial success.

Ratcliffe – Back To Da City

-

There’s not much to say about this track other than that its “out of this world”… That was pretty cheesy, but the truth is this track is pretty abstract. Not that its a surprise coming from Green Velvet. Definitely worth checking out this old school techno stomper.

Green Velvet – They Came From Outer Space

Until next time!

One Man Party

Yo Boppers!

Starting today, I’m changing the format of my post slightly. So far I’ve only included classic tracks, but I’m going to start opening that up a little bit to also include some new material by artists who still work the old way! Don’t worry… no dubstep here… House & Techno always.

mercurius fm mondays Screen shot 2011 06 13 at 1.25.25 PM One Man Party

To start things off, I’ll feature a Belgian DJ known as One Man Party. Some of you may know him as Steve… the drummer of Soulwax. To quote his bio, he was given the name “One Man Party” by James Murphy from LCD Soundsystem after witnessing him go berserk on the dancefloor. All that aside, having seen him DJ twice, once alongside him, I can say with true confidence that he is an excellent DJ. Perhaps the greatest part about his sets is that he’s not afraid to draw in music from all genres… because the sounds may go from dark techno beats to classic French House to AC/DC!

You don’t have to take my word for it though.

Check out his latest downloadable DJ mix posted for free on his soundcloud:
ONE MAN PARTY’S DRIVING TO WORK DJ-MIX MAY 2011

If that’s not enough, here is a remix he made for Wallace Vanborn:
RITE HANDS (One Man Party Remix) – Wallace Vanborn

Rumor has it he’s working on some original material. So far, we’ve only gotten a taste of what One Man Party has to offer, but its looking to be a great future.

Until next time!

White Labels

Word up Boppers.

Here’s some white labels for you.

To start things off, I’ve got an old DJ Sneak track from the 90s that features Samuel L Jackson’s famous dialog from the cult classic film, Pulp Fuction. We all know which part. Well here is a housey DJ tool for you. Well done and straight forward.

DJ Sneak – Ezeckiel 25 17

-

This part of the post is more of an update to a previous post. A long while back I posted a “DJ Sneak” remix of Donna Summer’s I Feel Love. Well I was wrong about who made it and it was also posted in 200 vbr quality. Rectifying that here is a 320 of this great remix along with the proper naming convention.

See you next time!
