Hope everyone is doing ok and moving about. I’m actually writing this post while listening to heavy metal… Sometimes its good to cross-pollinate as a friend of mine says. With that said, I have 2 very funky tracks to share with you, both happen to be remixes that came out in 2005! Wow does that seem long ago…

-

First track is a re-edit of Basement Jaxx’s filter house tune Jus 1 Kiss. A track off their massive hit album, Rooty. Overall, its just an extended and more dancefloor friendly version by bopper favorite Boris Dlugosch along side Michi Lange. This track came off the US CD single of Where’s Your Head At?

-

Finally, a remix by one of my personal favorites… MSTRKRFT, of my other personal favorite band… Death From Above 1979. Recently, I got really nostalgic and decided to buy a T-Shirt of DFA79… so I figured this was a good way to top that off. With that said, theres also been talk on the MSTRKRFT MSGBRD about Jesse starting his own record label for the purposes of releasing awesome dance tunes designed to CRUSH dancefloors. I have heard some of the tracks and I am quite quite impressed. More on this to follow. This remix was found on the Death From Above remix LP, Romance Bloody Romance.

That closes up the post for today. Have a good week.

I know I have some very big plans this year and I hope to make them all happen. I’m really excited and looking forward to this year as there will be so many promising releases… new Justice album, Daft Punk’s TRON 2 soundtrack, brand new material from Aphrohead, and much more…

We're officially in the future now!

With that said, on to my post, which is anything but new, but definitely fresh…

This first track is a classic techno dance tune from 1991 by Todd Terry. It became a familiar beat and sound and was sampled and manipulated by many other DJs to come. Released on the legendary Strictly Rhythm label, home of other pioneers such as DJ Pierre, Masters At Work, Reel to Reel, a very young Armand Van Helden and many others.

-

Finally, a track by a practically unknown artist called The Migrants, which is actually Play Paul. This is a remix done by Boris Dlugosch and its really great. I used to play this one out a few years ago and it goes well with a lot of tracks.

-

That about covers it for today. Feel free to comment and tell me what you think.
