Before the Beginning

By MERCURIUS FM on December 20, 2010

Merry Christmas (almost) Boppers.

Welcome back… Today I’m posting 2 remixes of 2 old school protolectrohousedisco jams. The original tunes are well known in thee underground, although these remixes are somewhat lesser known.

First up is Junior Sanchez’s very straight forward House remix of Giorgio Moroder’s timeless classic, The Chase. This is a good remix if you’d like to play out The Chase in a club with some beefed up sound. Its not over the top, but rather a classy and refined remix for your party of choice.

Giorgio Moroder - The Chase (Junior's Retro Mix)

Next, is a remix of German electronic pioneers, Kraftwerk, by French production wiz’s Alex Gopher & Etienne de Crecy. This track is quite energetic featuring Etienne’s signature basslines and Alex Gopher’s keen sense of groove. Its a fun remix to play in an electro house set to remember the beginning of electronic music.

Kraftwerk - Aerodynamik (Alex Gopher & Etienne de Crecy Dynamic Mix)

Hope you have a safe holiday week!

Drenched

Ahoy Boppers.

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.

Busy P - Chop Suey

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.

Alex Gopher - The Child

Have a good week Boppers!

Steppin’ Up

By MERCURIUS FM on July 5, 2010

Word up Boppers.

To start this week off, I’ll congratulate bopperette Melissa B’s stunning artwork for a Keith Haring tribute she participated in called “Stick On Haring!” Her art is on display along with other talented artists at Festival LiberArti in Montaione, Italy. You can see it below.

Now on to the music… The first track here is an extended mix by the label/production team A Touch of Class. Its a mix of the song Superstar by their star talent, The Ones. Nice long mix with a grooving baseline the whole time. Classic dance music vocoder and lots of little things going on here.

The Ones - Superstar (A Touch of Class Extended Mix)

Next up, we have a tech banger by French masterminds Etienne De Crécy and Alex Gopher. This track came off the fantastic Super Discount 2 album, which featured several tracks by Etienne De Crécy with collaborations by artists such as DJ Mehdi, Boombass (of Cassius) and more. This is a personal favorite of mine and very much worth checking out, as is the first (and drastically different) Super Discount.

Finally, to wrap things up I’d like to show you a remix I made for (another) contest, this time for MIA/Hard LA. You can check out my remix HERE.

Thats all folks!
