Schizofonics in 2010

artistandmusic 5 Schizofonics in 2010

Prior to Bopper Nation, Schizofonics had found its way into my ear early in 2009 and upon Bopper Nations first awakening Schizofonics dropped some sick tunes and mega support. Now it’s 2010 and Schizofonics drops a remix of Da Funk to remember. Now we’ve all heard Daft Punk remixes and there will always be Daft remixes but this Schizo rework gets me moving as it crunches its way across the floor.

Schizofonics - Da Schizofunk

Especially at 2 minutes 36 in, man that high pitched shit always makes me lose my mind and gives me that natural high while I’m grooving and then Da Funks synth comes back in to take it home. Enough hype listen for yourself and let the music be your ride.

and in case you don’t know about Schizo yet..
Schizofonics - Blipstick
“Schizofonics are Shortie and M. 2 DJs/Producers from Dublin, Ireland. Since forming in ‘08 the boys have been gaining a lot of attention. Summer ‘09 saw their remix of Queen’s ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ hit the number 1 spot on Hype Machine’s chart on 2 separate occasions and it’s now a regular feature in sets from people like Basement Jaxx, Kissy Sellout and Annie Mac.

They followed this up with a dancehall infused banger featuring Fool’s Gold’s Lady Chann which quickly gained a lot of pace over the internet and found it’s way onto Dim Mak’s soon to be released Mix CD by Mustard Pimp and their club favorite remix of Count & Sinden’s ‘Mega’.
Their latest offering sees them take on yet another classic and put the Schizo stamp on it. Barely a week old, the tune is already being played by the likes of Detboi and longtime supporter Kissy Sellout.
‘10 sees the release of Schizofonic’s debut EP ‘EightyEight’ on Mr.Jones records. A 5 track EP featuring 4 original tracks showing off their range of production skills and music influences. Oh and there’s also the small matter of a remix on there by Brighton’s High Rankin.”

Hello 2010

artistandmusic article 1239607 07BB6524000005DC 760 964x661 300x205 Hello 2010

Major Lazer - Pon De Floor (Chewy Chocolate Cookies Remix)

Happy New Years Bopper Nation!
2010 a new decade, it is our decade. Wherever you are tonight/today make it last! Our painful decade of political follies, war, recession, celebrity deaths is over. Until of course we litter 2010 with new ones! Just kidding.
-wolf

Massive Tunes that shook us Hard.

Felix Cartal – Drone
Every time this mechanical beast is unleashed I am at awe. I’ve probably listened to this song more times than I should, put it on the back-burner and let it reemerge and it still feels like my first time listening to it every time.

Felix Da Housecat – Kickdrum
(in the words of Lil’ Feezy “An unbelievably simple and effective track. One of those ‘why didn’t I think of that?’ moments for me.” – (felixcartal.com)

Boys Noize – Starter
When the Starter/Jeffer package emerged I was insanely anxious for POWER, but worried these two tunes would dominate everything else on the cd. Well they certainly cast a huge shadow – but then again POWER is full of so many great tunes and Transmission is continually growing into a monster – cannot wait to hear the remixes

D.I.M. & TAI – Lyposuct
& so many people who made their list of 2009 favorites included Lyposuct…& with so many artist playing it out and none doing it better than Felix – one has to accept that D.i.M. & TAI teamed up to make something dangerous. In 2010 is it ok to ask, ‘Can they do it again!’

Major Lazer – Pon De Floor (Chewy Chocolate Cookies)

& with so many remixes out there I have to pay tribute to one song that was just remixed so right that it completely crushed the original – in my opinion. This just in, song won [ details here ].

Daft Punk – Prime Time of Your Life (Tits & Clits Remix)
& in the silence of Daft Punk, with only small leaks of TRON tracks. How can we not appreciate Tits & Clits for bringing it back. Wishing you all a Happy New Year in the Prime Time of Your Life!

Happy Festivus and Other Stuff

Happy Holidays to all the Boppers!

Today, we have quite the post… mostly Daft Punk related, but thats not a bad thing, right?

artistandmusic IMG 1053 1 Happy Festivus and Other Stuff

Here is a fantastic live version of Daft Punk’s Rock’n Roll. Its from 1997, recorded at Le Rex Club in Paris. Back then, the boys used to go on stage with about 7 grand worth of equipment and no computers. Everything was just MIDI synced, basically recreating their studio setup. When I make a techno tune this is exactly where I’m coming from.

Daft Punk - Rockn' Roll (Live @ Rex Club)

Next up is a Christmas themed House track by none other than Le Knight Club. You know I’m real keen on these tracks and normally I wouldn’t be so heavy on them, but given the season, I’m ok with it.

Le Knights Club - Santa Claus

Finally, as a treat for the Holidays, I turned to my personal Disco source, the one I call when I need a new sample, my fellow funkateer, Melissa B, for a special holiday Disco groove.

Larry Dixon - So Gifted

As she puts it…
It makes you feel special and unique. It lifts you up to where you should always be I think. Well at least me, it makes me happy.

Everyone have a safe and happy holiday. I know sometimes stuff gets tough, but try to be happy with what you have. Most importantly, be happy that you’re alive, because in the end, you’ve only got yourself and thats the greatest gift of all.

Circa 1997

Hey Bopperz!

This week I’m dropping some House bangers on you (wait, didn’t I do that last week too?). These are both tracks that I would personally use in my sets, even TODAY. These kick drums hit hard.

boppernation Roulette big Circa 1997

First, we have another classic from Thomas Bangalter… Do I really need to say more? This track is so rad and energetic. You can hear the vinyl crackle from when he sampled it.

Thomas Bangalter - Spinal Scratch

-

Finally, a classic from Romanthony. The voice behind Daft Punk’s “One More Time” and “Too Long”. He also has various classic House cuts. This track doesn’t really display his singing talent, but instead is just ridiculously good production. This track was made circa 1997.

Romanthony - Everybody Dancing

See you next week.

5 AM

Hello boppettes and boppers!

Gonna make this a quick one because its nearly 5 am as im writing this…

First off, we’ll give a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to FEADZ.

Feadz in Montreal

He’s one of my favorite artists and I love his music. This is one of his old tunes before he blew up. Its really dope.

Feadz - 2Kind4U

-

Then we’ve got this remix of our favorite french robots, Daft Punk, by Laidback Luke. This was a limited release remix and then made available on Daft Club. Luke’s just now blowing up, but in reality he shoulda been a a star over 10 years ago!! Tight production all around and very enjoyable.

Daft Punk - Crescendolls (Laidback Luke Remix)

Have a good week and enjoy!

B-Sides!

Word up BOPPERS!

I hope you all had a great and spooktacular Halloween weekend. I know I did. The night before Halloween, I opened for Felix Da Housecat in Scottsdale, Az and we completely blew the roof off the joint. At the end we stopped for photo ops and signed posters together!

(Video coming soon too!)

Now for the musique.

First off, to get your palettes wet, we’ll start with some thick basslinin’ by LifeLike along with Roman Salzger. This is a massive tune with some great production and great narration. This is basically a one-off project they did together and was the B-Side to Radio 84. LifeLike is going to be coming out with a new album soon and Roman Salzger is still churning out hooks.

Roman Salzger & Lifelike - Regina

**LINK NOW WORKS! MEDIAFIRE WASN’T ACCEPTING THE FILE***

Digging deep into the Daft Punk vault, I present you with Indo Silver Club Part II. This was only released as a B-Side to Indo Silver Club, which came out only on vinyl before Daft Punk was signed to Virgin. This is a heavy tune that is quite representative of that time and what I love about House and Techno.

Daft Punk - Indo Silver Club Part II

Hope to see you Boppers soon at a party near you!

MERCURIUS FM MONDAY

Hello fellow BOPPERS. This is my first post on Boppernation. My name is Mercurius FM and I am a producer/DJ/remixist. I’ve been brought on to this site to help get some different views and tracks on board. I hope to contribute and help this site grow with my insane collection of dance music.

So without further delay, each week I’m planning to post house classics with a tilt on the filtered/disco sound we (I) love. I will make a point of never posting 128kbs mp3s (since everyone has those) and focus on posting 200+VBR – 320KBS mp3s only.

Our first track should be familiar but maybe hard to find in quality.

Thomas Bangalter and DJ Falcon - Together

Our second track, which is equally great but less known,

Sebastian Ingrosso & Axwell - Together

Enjoy.
