I spent some time this weekend working on remixes, one of which I gave a nice funky baseline and lowpassed the whole track for the breakdown. Reminded me of the ol’ French House days. Which brings us to this post. :)

The Fairlight CMI

-

Our first track is a Daft Punk bootleg released on white label in 2000. It was on a release called Stronger which featured one other mix if this song and 2 club mixes of Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger. Nice production here and cool vocals in the middle. But is it truly a Daft Punk made track?

-

Next up is a mega tune by one of my personally favorite producers, Lifelike. Its his own remix of his club hit The Soul of My Love. The original is of course classic, on par with the mega french house hits of its time such as Around The World, Music Sounds Better With You and Sound of Violence. But this particular mix is as if Lifelike looked into a crystal ball and predicted the next few years of dance music. Check out his new record label called Computer Science.

See you soon!

This may be a month late, but hopefully entertaining nonetheless.

I spent this summer studying law in Paris on a scholarship. I got to spend 6 weeks in Europe, during which I lived in Paris but got to visit other cities in France and Spain. Months before I even got to Europe, I had one thing on my mind: IBIZA. How can I get to close to Ibiza and not go there? I went on www.ibiza-spotlight.com and looked into the club calendar, and what do I see? Swedish House Mafia’s Masquerade Motel, featuring Felix, at Pacha, on Monday July 26^th. How can I turn this opportunity down? So, I booked a roundtrip flight from Paris to Ibiza along with my better half, @amykayyy. My buddy @DanielSrourian, who was going to be studying in London over the summer, also booked a ticket to meet us there. Since I am a debt-ridden law student on a scholarship, I was basically ballin on a budget. Therefore, weeks (maybe months) prior to this, I contacted Afflicted Wolf to see if he could get us on the guest list for Pacha the night Felix was playing. Of course, Wolf was more than gracious and guaranteed that he would take care of everything. Flight booked, hotel reserved, liquor is packed, masks on… Ibiza here we come.

As we boarded our flight Sunday evening, I noticed Felix had just tweeted that he is also on his way out to Ibiza too. I replied to him asking what there is to do on a Sunday night in Ibiza, but I really didn’t plan on going out that night since we were landing around 1AM and we wanted to save our energy (and money) for the Masquerade Motel the next night. However, when I turned on the blackberry as we touched down in Ibiza, I noticed Felix had replied to me suggesting that I head to Space after 3:00AM. To our surprise, Space was literally 50 feet away from our hotel. So we took Felix’s advice, and walked over to Space at 3:30. At first, our names were not found on the guest list, and we were really not looking forward to paying the 65 Euro ($85 USD) cover charge. But one tweet to Felix took care of everything. Although he was tired, jetlagged, and had just landed, he was still somehow able to pull some strings and get us onto the guest list instantly. We were truly blown away by his generosity and consideration. Thanks to Felix, we walked right into the club and got a sudden rush of energy from Miss Kittin’s and Steve Lawler’s back-to-back set.

Appropriately enough, one of the first tracks Miss Kittin dropped was Felix’s remix of Nina Simone – Sinnerman. We were also lucky enough to hear her play a version of Felix’s Elvi$ that incorporated some live vocals by her.

After two or three hours of enjoying an amazing set and exploring one of the biggest clubs I have ever seen packed with the nicest, warmest, friendliest people I have ever met, we decided to head back to get some rest. As you can see, we were greeted by the sunrise as we walked out. While walking back to the hotel, we realized this was just a typical morning in Ibiza. People heading back from clubs, wiping foam off their outfits from the foam party they just left, or heading to the beach to get some rest… at 6:30AM.

After less than 4 hours of sleep, we woke up to this view. Enough said.

As we walked around the beach town of Playa D’en Bossa that day, the excitement was building up for that night. Posters and flyers everywhere, people selling tickets, people asking others what they’re up to later that night and just a good buzz and a great vibe in the air.

We spent the day just lounging/drinking at the beach as local DJs played some great Balearic beats, talking to the local vendors that sell everything from CDs and coconuts to MDMA and weed, and just trying to understand that we were finally in IBIZA. Later in the day we took a 20 minute cab ride over to the west side of the island to watch the sunset in San Antonio. Unfortunately, we were late, but we still got a breathtaking view of what I would have to say is the most beautiful sunset in the world. We had some great sushi and some great local drinks on a terrace overlooking the water. What more could I ask for?

By the time we got back to the hotel, it was already midnight. Usually, this would mean we need to get dressed and head out already. In Ibiza however, this is a perfect opportunity to nap. I had never taken a nap at 1AM before, but it is a great feeling to wake up at 2AM and head out to a club. Not just any club, and not just any DJ. We got ready and headed out around 3AM and made our way to the Masquerade Motel at Pacha… the Swedish House Mafia and Felix Da Housecat awaited us.

We had a pretty interesting problem at the door. After I told the doorman that we were on Felix’s guest list, he immediately said that the guest list had closed at 2AM. I made it very clear that this wasn’t some BS discount list… this was Felix’s own guest list. At this point, he proceeded to tell me that he didn’t know who Felix was. I pointed out that Felix was the person that was DJing at that precise moment inside the club he was working for, but he wouldn’t budge. In total disbelief, I immediately asked the doorman for his name: “Louie”. Afterwards, I looked down at my phone and started trying to contact Wolf to see if there was anything he could do. After thinking about how stupid he sounded for saying he didn’t know who Felix was, and realizing that right after asking him for his name I had pulled out my phone, Louie approached us, apologized, and let us all in.

We walked in to the middle of Felix’s set. We were lucky enough to hear ‘Thee Anthem.’ Another special moment was the end of Felix’s set. Earlier that day, I had listened to Justice – Phantom Part 2… sure enough, Felix closed his set with that track. The main dancefloor hit us like a wall of sweat and heat… well that’s actually what it was. The pictures cannot convey how hot, sweaty, and amazing it was.

We also got to enjoy the Swedish House Mafia’s set as we drank some cold 14 euro (over $20 USD) Spanish beers with @DanielSrourian. And yes, each of the beers in the following picture cost over 20 dollars each!

After the clock struck 6, we visited to the Pacha gift shop for the obligatory Pacha t-shirt, and we decided to head back to the hotel. And the rest is history…

In conclusion, if you are reading this, you should visit Ibiza. Go there, swim in the water, lay on the sand, drink the drinks, listen to the music, and enjoy the island. It is affordable (aside from the drinks in the clubs), it is fun, it is relaxing, and it is beautiful.

My visit to Ibiza couldn’t have been this great without people like @amykayyy, @DanielSrourian, Afflicted Wolf, and of course, the king, Felix Da Housecat. Special thanks to each one of them.

Until next time…

Shant K”

Stepping into the shoes of the ‘Rich n Famous’ for a weekend is a dream that many will never know and for someone like me, coming from a humbled background, it was all too much.

I spent the first day in a state of stupor, shock and I can’t say I progressed past that. But I also got to experience a very REAL domesticated side of Felix, and his family, all very great people.

The first segment DAY 1 I actually wrote, while still drunk on Mezcal at some AM Odd hour of the fist day there:

Day 1

Full Service. I feel like a king, I experienced things today that I’ve only seen on television. Upon my arrival, near the baggage claim/transportation (which by the way stretches for miles in Atlanta), my driver held up a sign ‘Sean Mullen’ written on it. I pointed at him and smiled. (I drink a lot when I fly, I wont spend too much time on the details of it, but wine, double jager bomb, double jack n coke, etc). Anyways once I find my bag he grabs it from me and we head out to his car.

Now let me start from the top. Black man, black full suit, black lincoln, black leather interior, opens the back passenger side door, large amount of space, big black leather chair, with a cold Dasani waiting for me and klenex. I tell him I’ve never had service like this. Prior to this Felix had told me to tell the driver to go to Buckhead, instead of his house. I put the driver on the phone with Fe, so he knew where to go, the driver smiles at me when he’s done and says “Dallas Austin is there too.”

Bistro Niko, a full table of Celebrities Angie Romansanta, Dallas Austin, Nas, Nese Djouma, Felix Da Housecat, Bulent, my favorite queen Steve, turned out to be an awesome guy, The Girl with Dragon Tattoo, def one of my FAV’s who i met this weekend) I got the pleasure of sharing many conversations with during our trip from the first SUV ride all part of the royal treatment I had earlier.

Back to the dinner…which I don’t eat, but I go over to one of the tables grab an empty wine glass and start pouring myself Chardonay (There is tons of Chardonay on the table as we leave, I just would never let it go to waste…OH yeah let me not forget juan, or one or w/e his name was, Dallas Austin’s cousin who flashed his penis several times..and lets not forget to mention two things maybe three about Dallas Austin. One drives a pimped out all black Charger, two has pictures of his dick on his phone so he can slap people with it, three. Built the music scene in Atlanta and is the reason Felix is in Atlanta, according to Felix..now that’s four things and I’m moving on.

Once at Felix’s house, which of course has an impressive Tequila bar, including a bottle with his face on it. Several photos of Nese and Felix blown up and put around the house, Classic style wrap around staircase, I’m stationed in the Spaceship or rather next to the Studio…which is insane..So many speakers, lights, glass table.

Anyways its 606am EST, my heads at 3am pacific. This is Wolf out…Today’s the big day, Felix’s Birthday Bash show in ATL. Everyone will be there and this year that includes me.

xo
Wolf

The next couple days I’m going to blend into one segment, not to take away from the Richness of them, but because now I am writing from memory, rather than shortly after my experience.

Things that must be noted, Nese Djouma, besides being an attractive awesome young lady, is also an exquisite cook. Most wealthy people live off of take out food, have others to do their cooking, I was very impressed that Nese not only knew how to cook, but cooked extremely well. The meals I had from her were straight out of a restaurant and her brother is also a deadly force in the kitchen. The Dessert he made was INSANE and intoxicating. I am a food addict.

Felix’s daughter, is the smartest and most well behaved baby I have ever met. I’ve never been a fan of kids or children, especially babies, but this future Diva is a major exception. I only heard the baby Cry maybe enough times to count on my hand and she easily was able to be made quiet or would go from crying to smiling and laughing in a short period. I lived in the house with a baby for a weekend, but it was nothing like living with a baby for a weekend. I wasn’t awoken at night, I wasn’t bothered by loud tantrums, it was very impressive.

Anyways, I know what the Boppers want..the nitty gritty, the DEETS, the dirty deedsssss… YOu want to know about the PARTY!!!! Felix’s Bday bash, commercial, but sexy venue. Opening DJ couldn’t hold his liquor, was a mess, Wolf Bop Copped him outta the DJ Booth. Wolf 1 him 0.

*Interesting Fact: Felix doesn’t own turntables, CDRS or any DJing equipment in his pad, he just has his serato on the laptop. So when setting up in his studio prior to getting out and Groooving, he doesn’t even practice this wicked transitions out there, or build up sets like you ableton scum! ;-) He’s 100% natural talent. When asking him about this information he said ‘he never owned any djing equipment’ and just got up there and did it and at first was horrible, people booed at him, “shoes in a laundry matt.” Now look at him!!!!

Felix’s DJing has become even more unique and set apart from the many other DJs out there on the scene. One certainly will not hear the same damn songs played in Felix’s set if at a Festival as the other DJs are playing. He keeps it fresh, still grooving with Prince tunes towards the end of the night, but focusing heavily on ‘booty shaking’ and house tunes. With much minimal, Minimal and Disco baby. A little electro, just a little.

Much Mezcal later, we went to Dallas Austin‘s Studio, we went to Big Poppa’s Mansion, we partied hard, in fact so hard the Wolf was KO’d and Felix got a picture of it.

Highlights: Felix powered up his Spaceship Studio for me. I finally met a lot of people I only knew from Twitter, Dallas Austin, Angie Romasanta, etc. I got to hang out inside of an insane studio (Dallas Austin’s), party in a mansion (Big Poppas), partying with celebs JLS, Nas, many more, but most important of all I got to see Felix in his natural habitat, meet his family, his wonderful Sister, hang out with Nese and meet her brother, his boyfriend. It was all surreal, unreal, the giant Bean Bag chair, the most comfortable bed I’ve ever slept in, etc etc.

Back 2 Reality.

*just a heads up I love my friends and didn’t mean any offense in the original RAW script, I just have a poor sense or humour and as a writer am a VERY open person. Steve and Bulent I hope to meet you again in London TOWN.

More classy goodness this week.

I think we all know who could rock these kicks hard!

-

First up is a Prince sampled/remixed track by Paul Johnson. Very little was done here so as to keep the song in tact. Just a little bit of jack drums and editing make this a perfect track to mix in your set for a Prince throwback.

-

Finally, we have a House anthem by Dajaé. Instead of her frequent collaborator Green Velvet, this time she gets the production treatment from “Felix Stallings”. Although this particular mix is the Junior Jack Main Mix, you still feel the Chicago vibe busting out.

‘Til next time Boppers.

Included here for listening and downloading. Eskimo Twins offers two original tracks Droid and Judas off of their Judas EP due to hit beatport August 23rd following a full release in September. It includes the original tunes plus a radio edit of Judas and remixes by Ado, RipTidE, Justin Robertson, Matt Walsh & The Sonic Emporium.

Droid, the original is squeaky jumpy fun, I feel very mechanical as I listen to this track.

Also included on the EP are 2 remixes of Droid: The Ado remix raped me with surprise. The song almost stops then starts up like the humming of a chainsaw right before the drop, which is pure beauty. RipTidE’s remix focuses more on the squeaks and is equally fun and the build up and second wave 2 minutes in kills me every time ah but the 3rd wave 3 minutes in is where it’s at.

Judas, the original, is Minimal Tech with a PULSE. There is so much noise porn in the music that I am literally getting high off the energy.

I wont talk too much about the Judas remixes, because I’m only teasing the poor souls even more who haven’t a chance to hear them until the 23rd of August. I will however be a bitch just a little more and tell everyone reading this that The Sonic Emporium one is well worth the wait.

Each remix off of this EP is in itself it’s own song which is very rewarding. Gnaw at them nails impatiently and until then ENJOY these!

I’ve got some more goodies for you. Took me some time to pick out which tracks this week, but turned up with some more gems.

-

Our first track is by French House master, Sebastien Leger. Its a hard funky house track featuring Bopper favorite, Junior Sanchez. The intense groove on this track is sure to get people moving. Also worth noting, Leger is known to produce with all hardware… so real samplers, real drum machines, etc.

Sébastien Léger - No Problem (Ft Junior Sanchez)

-

It may come as a surprise to many Americans, but David Guetta actually made music before 2009. All jokes aside, this here is a remix of an old David Guetta single from 2004 as remixed by Le Knight Club (I don’t think I need to reintroduce them again). I really loved this track when I first heard it. It features very nice production, although minimalist in design, and a very dramatic vibe.

Catch you next time Boppers.

Mashups are back and no one does it prettier than NAPT. This track is very HOT, Enjoy!

“Following their sell out Australian tour NAPT are giving away their N-Funk battle weapon remix of Miike Snow’s “Black And Blue” as part 2 of their Contraband series. Hold tight for their forthcoming new single “Emotion”, out later this year, with remixes from amongst others, DnB superstars Brookes Brothers.”

One would think that at this point in time, both Miike Snow and Passion Pit remixes had reached their peak across the electronic board. However, NAPT proves otherwise with this song right here. It is FRESH and ORIGINAL and Sleepy Head, Black and Blue are reborn in a new light, a NAPT light.

NAPT is doing huge things and in case you are one of the fortunate ones discovering them for the first time continue the journey through the links below.

These gentlemen are scientist. The music they produce speaks for itself (cliche, but necessary). ‘Nerve Salad’ is a mind f#ck, to say the very least. I always appreciate the static electricity these two vibrate through their tunes. I admit, I find myself a big fan of their Muse remix ‘Knights of Cydonia’ and of course the ‘Audacity of Huge.’ However, ‘Never Salad’ is not disappointing in the least bit, it is just one big vague tease of what we are going to see in their Fixed release for New York City.

Here we are again, getting ready to jack. This is another great couple of tracks.

-

First up we have a track commonly mislabeled as a DJ Falcon track, but it is infact by a lesser known artist, Nicolas Vallée. Featuring a very funky synthesizer sample and very cool vocal cuts, this track is sure to get people moving.

-

Our next track is a Chicago House classic by Adonis. It features an iconic Roland TB-303 bassline backed with a Roland TR-808 drum kit. Simple dubbed lyrics and a continuous groove essentially make this a blueprint for generations of House and Techno artists to come.

-

I’m starting a new post soon (tentatively). Its to feature new artists who do House and techno. If you’re interested in being featured, please check out this page.

Well after listening to this EP all the way through I can see why the track ‘Encode’ was remixed by multiple artist, by far one of my favorite tracks off the EP and we all love to take something beautiful and refresh it under new lights. As for giving out ‘Dascent,’ every artist has to sacrifice and release a great hit for free to get the music out on the interweb waves, this is the new radio after all.

What Can I say about ROT10Musik, they know what they are doing and there is nothing I respect more than the labels constructed by artist themselves, removing the middle man was a concept that came out not too long after Napster destroyed Tower Records and physical releases….but my respectable friends are still buying vinyls and cds. And then of course releasing on Beatport, we pay extra money for the damn good quality and its our modern way of paying the most respect to the artist we truly love.

Back to the EP, Lets get Native is dirty and with an EP full of the Conga Dutch sound that is taking over the clubs these days, Breekpunt and the Rot10 team are doing a great job of conquering the scene. This artist, at the striking age of 18 is making all of us who have years and decades on him wonder what the fuck we were doing with our lives back then.

This EP doesn’t include a single track to skip over and all the tunes that I know we all are hitting repeat on are revived, refreshed and given original light by our friends and Boppers, Vega, ETC!ETC!, Matt Sayers and recently added to the Bopper team Mike Stone & Four Four! Welcome.

My favorite remix has to be the Funkular remix by ETC!ETC! and Mr. Vega, hate to choose a favorite in the gorilla misty jungle of the Conga Dutch EP, but those missile dropping sounds really turn me on.

Just when you though I might be out of ideas for tracks to post, here’s some more gold…

-

Our first track is another down and dirty disco house stomper which was released on Alan Braxe’s Vulture Records label. Its by Vinyl Fever who are also The Eternals, among others. This a fun high energy track and even though its 10 years old, it can easily get people moving in the right setting.

-

Next, we have the Stevie Nicks classic, Stand Back, remade for the 21st century. This mix is by Linus Loves and is treated with much respect. A note of interest to Prince fans, he actually wrote and played the synthesizer parts in the original version of this song. This one’s sure to bring back memories for some people.

Now that’s a good post.

Boppernation first dropped this sexy artist, butchering his name. He contacted me personally and made sure I made the correction. [originally post here] Nov 17th, 2009.

After contact Dillon sent his own original work, [post here] Dec 13th, 2009.

Since then while out in public I’ve ran into fans of the website who have personally thanked me for the website as well as mentioning and thanking us because they discovered Dillon through our site. Boppernation is happy to spread the love and we will always support Dillon.

Junior Sanchez, Felix Da Housecat. What the hell can I say about these two that hasn’t been said before?

“Now try nEthang!” Available Now [GET YOURS]

-

Anytime another artist releases something giving them ground and footing in the electronic and house world, Junior Sanchez and Felix individually drop bombs that separate them far from the rest and set everyone back again.

Then they decide to join up together and make music and no one has a chance to breathe.

nEthang! has the funk, the dirty, the heavy, the disco and the electronica house all wrapped up in one. In fact I feel poor even classifying it as any of those, but I’m trying nEthang! to describe this sound.

While we await music from the rest of the DANR team and celebrate the Bopper BDAY….

Van Scott, who has also appeared on Boppernation.com as Drlkt Freddie has given us an amazing rework aka EDIT of Die Antwoord “I Don’t Need You.”

I think this track captures the magnitude of Die Antwoord, but gives us a less bitter sweet feel, with a higher field of electricity, while maintaining that rapping flow of The Answer.

This track was sent just in time for the M.I.A. HARD /w Die Antwoord in NY, unfortunately the LA one was canceled, but I hope you all had a great time in New York. During that same weekend we celebrated HARD at Audiotistic, the first BIG event in LA since the death of a 15 year old at EDC, lets keep them events 18+ so the adults can have fun.

God Bless

A new week, a couple of new jams. We’ve got 2 old school tracks today.

-

First up is a track by an artist known as Axxis, which was introduced and produced by Kenny “Dope” Gonazales. This is actually the Roger Sanchez remix which is fairly hard and filled with the classic 90s House beat. This track came out in 1994.

-

Next up we have a remix of Chromeo to celebrate their upcoming album, Business Casual. This track here is a special dance dub by Zdar (Cassius) of Needy Girl from their debut album. This really is more like proto-house but very rad none the less.

See you next time Boppers!

Chewy Chewy Chewy, Chocolate chips and Cookies. How Boppernation LOVES you so.

• Early in September 2010 you’re chewy goodness bless us with the FIRST official release of ‘Pon De Floor (Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies remix)’, before anyone else had it [Post here]
• Then again you gave us the first taste of your new EP, before the other bloggers. ‘My Girlfriend (Original)’ [Check it here]
• Then as a direct present, you decided to give Felix a personal remix of ‘We All Wanna be Prince (Chewy Chocolate Cookies) [Check it here]
• This of course is not even HALF of the greatness and support we’ve received from your crunchy chocolaty goodness. We were blessed to help support your FIRST release of Unknown Combatants, OV3RD053, where our friend and fellow Bopper, Sleetwalker made it on the release [Check it Here]
• And the support just continues to grow and we kindly asked you to support http://dubset.com which you did [check it here]

So after all this greatness…we thought and believed we couldn’t possibly be honored with more and again you gave us ANOTHER treat….on the BIRTHDAY, released on the BIRTHDAY…Dinosaurs with GUNS….again before any of the other blogs.

“Hey Sean,

Without further ado…

Rot10 Musik! With only three 0 more days til the One Year Anniversary of the official Bopper Nation website it is once again our pleasure to pay tribute to one of our Biggest Supporters. Mr Vega, who has been there since the VERY beginning and is continually bringing an arsenal of his own tunes, while delivering more and more artist with original and creative talent.

Mr Vega came into Bopper Nation’s radar early on with submissions of Balloonstein and  Just Bass ft. BraZZABelle in early August of 09. Over time he begin delivering more and more tunes that only hit harder and harder, as if his earliest work wasn’t hard enough!

In recent times his productions have been progressing more and more towards the Sirening sounds of Conga and Dutch. A sound that him and ETC! ETC! began perfecting with their release of ‘Drop Like A Seizure‘ (which has been played out and loved by Kiss Sell Out as well as many others,

Recently and by request, the loyal Mr. Vega previewed Felix Da Housecat‘s – Thee Anthem in our latest Podcast [ subscribe here ]. In the podcast he took care to lay down an arsenal of tunes reflecting the heavy jungle sirens of the conga sounds that we love through the great team, Rot10Musik.

So it is only fair that we now introduce you to each of these artist and prepare you all for another great year!

ETC! ETC! who’s name we are continually seeing and hearing in more recent post has proven, like Vega, to be a deadly force on his own, but an even deadlier storm when in production with Vega.

ETC!ETC! - Down For the Count

We thank you for helping our site get through the electronic bootcamp and after noticing the last growth of pubic hair and the popping of our final zits it is safe to say puberty is over, we are ready to hit em harder and heavier and dirtier than before. It is time to grow up Bopper Nation and we know that Vega will continue supporting us and continue adding troops to our Nation.

So who better to start things off than our Hungarian lads, Tits & Clits, who just recently did a HUGE Podcast for Bopper Nation prior to the most recent Mr. Vega‘s.

Tits and Clits, one of our earliest, and biggest supporters, a group that if I personally owned a label right now and had investors at my disposable I would be in Hungary nabbing these guys and Americanizing em and then taking over the world with em. Might have to change their name to T & C, but we all know what it means anyways!

It was with our first and one of our earliest releases, the Tits and Clits remix of Daft Punks – Prime Time of Your Life that caught the attention of our main Man and Founding father of Bopper Nation, Felix Da Housecat. This tune earned a spot on his Essential Mix, released in 2009 on BBC. What else can I say about these boys, well to be simple minded, one of their more recent remixes released on the site today, has the word wolf and I love Wolves. But seriously Wolfmother is the shit….and damn right A New Moon is rising.

I’d like to also take this time to honor Malo and his label Giga Beat, he has also played a huge part in Bopper Nation, sending tunes of his own and sharing his Giga lads.

Last and certainly not least I’d love to tap my hat off to Ektiv Management, Krisztian you have introduced us to sooo much Hungarian Talent…we can only continue to thank you by promoting it as much as possible on our blog: Headshot Boyz, Slap in the Bass / Dirty Monkeez, We Plants are Happy Plants ETC ETC

OH AND OF COURSE BIG UPS TO GIGA, EKTIV, MALO, TITS AND CLITS for letting us host the Pill Popper remix contest! It was a pivotal moment for our blog and we will always remember it!
-Love Love Love

XoXo

Here’s another fun post, this one is perhaps a bit different than my usual.

I think most of us could use some of this...

-
Our first track is an energetic electro jam by Busy P. He doesn’t produce much music, but when he does, its usually pretty fun and interesting. Now I know this track isn’t House, but it is indeed fun and could be mixed into a mostly 4/4 set for some fun variation.

-

Finally, we have a classic downtempo House track by French producer Alex Gopher. This one features a classic jazz sample mixed up and jacked up. This track dates way back to 1998 when Paris was popping with new and interesting dance music. He was a frequent collaborator with Etienne De Crecy, especially back in these days when they were both putting out downtempo jazz-drenched House music like this.

-

Have a good week Boppers!

Tracklist:
Sommer
IckSchnallUp
Famous
Verflixt
Hyperactive

EP now available on 12″ Vinyl or digitally through: Beatport & Deejay

Where to begin with this one, where to end? If you like backyard drum sets, drum machines and infinitely long melodies then Premium Cuts is more than right for you. I mean one really needs to be ready for bouncey beats when they enter the realm of Hyperactive, but with a title like that there is little room for deception.

Now what really pulled me along and kept me humming were the crashes, the phaser, the effects that pushed the Jerky through creating the perfect collection of tunes.

Sommer, seasonally pleasing, making music into more than 1 dimensional, creating the necessary aura required for one to FEEL the music and taste it, not just hear it. And those Nintendo coin sounds puts me and my imagination into a fantasy world powered by the melody of Housemeister’s Premium Cuts.

And just incase things may have been too soft for those of you hungry dirty ones, IckSchnallUp comes in pounding HARD! Bass Bass Bass Bass Bass!!!! Just keep marching along to the rhythm. And Verflixt too, WOW!!!! is that a machine gun? A drill? Dance Dance Dance!!

Overall this EP is an awesome follow up to the first Jerky EP, released just recently in 2009 and Housemeister brings a lot of originality in his music, stepping outside the boundaries of many producers out there who cling dearly to their overused/abused samples. But the Boys Noize team knows their shit and Housemeister is a strong part of their crew.

“Who’s Zed?” “Zed’s Dead Baby”

-

I first discovered this duo’s tunage surfing the interwebs. It was their remix of Radiohead’s Pyramid Song [youtube link here] that popped my cherry and beside the awesomeness and originality Zeds Dead displayed, those three words, “Zed’s Dead baby” dropped in the song were taken from one of my all time favorite movies, Pulp Fiction..I was bought.

So I began searching further, and so far there has been a great amount of bootlegs streaming the web, their Gimme Shelter remix is not to be fucked with and its this deadly process of restoring classical tunes and littering them with the dirty electronic waves that makes me ultra hard for Zeds Dead and happily obliged to PROMOTE and BRING THESE TWO TO THE UNITED STATES!!!!

-

Included for download and stream on the site is their original track, White Satin and just because I like it soft and hard, check out this more than deadly remix of Blue Foundation.”I seek you out and flay you alive, one more word and you wont survive.”

Zeds Dead
And just to prove there isn’t a BAD Zed’s Dead track out there….here is another video. Keep it happening

Another week, another beat. Here’s some more House music for you.

-

First up we have an ol’ Paul Johnson cut from 1997. To be honest, I had to search on here to make sure I didn’t post this already and I was shocked to see I never posted any Paul Johnson. This isn’t a hit song for him, but its a good example of what he’s good at.

-

The second song we have is a true Chicago House classic that our very own Felix was probably bopping’ to back in the O.G. House music days. This track was originally by Jamie Principle and became popular when spun by Frankie Knuckles. He then re-made the track with Jamie Principle and it became a House classic.

-

To wrap things up, I’d like to share with you a remix I did of Fischerspooner (for another contest). Its pretty hard and fun. Listen here.

Have a good week!

Right in sync with the release of the new A-Team the movie, MSTRKRFT’s Al-P, M.I.A ‘s Rye Rye and Dan the Automator (Producer for Gorillaz) have delivered an arsenal of A-Team Theme remixes that are sure to SHAKE things up in the electronic world. Check out each artist’s impression of the A-Team as long as their own version for each character in the Classical and newly produced A-Team. Each artist does a great job of doing what the movie does, delivering the PAST in a new FUTURISTIC VISION. REEEEeeemix. (also included is Just Blaze’s Murdock mix).

Rye Rye it keeps it fresh, laying down a more than fitting rap. This is B.A. Baracus’ theme song!

Al-P lays down the classical Face mix this tune hits with a futuristic rush of a blaring jet.

Then Dan the Automator lays down the hair Hannibal theme. Enough words check  it for yourself!

And here is Just Blaze’s Murdock Mix! Enjoy

First off pat on the back to Mad Decent, and more importantly the one they call DIPLO

I heard this song..the original, not the Toadally Krossed Out rework (available July 20th), was played at EDC over and over and OVER again… [original source ]

Second I want to give big UPS to Steve Aoki and DIM MAK‘s latest SNIPE … Etienne De Crecy. (Dim Mak is home to many of our favorite DJS and supporters, Felix Cartal, Motor, Osawa etc etc) [Original Source ]

This song/video is old..but hey it’s still good..who can forget the more than awesome CUBE. Rivaling Daft Punk’s Pyramid? Maybe, maybe not.

HOUSECAT & MAU5
Felix Da Housecat was later released, when it was found that Deadmau5 was neither a man nore was he alive. If you see a crime in your house or if you suspect someone of jacking the beat, make sure to dial 909. For all Electro and Hip Hop emergencies please dial 808. [ More ]

Boppers the momentum is building, the wheel is spinning and we are all dying from anticipation for the time when the mau5 steps up into the stage and battles Thee Cat!
