Make Love And Listen

By MERCURIUS FM on January 24, 2011

Word up Boppers.

Here are some more goodies.

First up is a remix of French super group, Justice, by Chicago based Ghetto House master, DJ Funk. It features his brand of chopped up ghetto vocals on top of a fast House beat with a sequenced baseline. Its a fun track to listen and fun for a mix too.

Justice – Let There Be Light (DJ Funk Remix)

Next is a remix of the CSS classic Let’s Make Love And Listen To Death From Above. The original is a sort of funky dance jam, where as this remix takes it to epic levels of techno/houseness. The band who this song was a tribute to, Death From Above 1979, as also recently reformed and will be debuting their first live show in nearly 6 years at this years Coachella.

Romantic Rites

By MERCURIUS FM on September 20, 2010

Yooo Boppers!

I’ve some really great tracks to share with you today. Some nice sexy music to get you moving through your week.

To start things off, we have UK Garage master and Daft Punk collaborator, Todd Edwards on the 1′s and 2′s with a remix. This is a really nice and dramatic sounding remix and really showcases his skill at cutting up samples and forming hooks. I’ve always had great respect for him as an artist and this is a great example of his work.

Finally, we close the day with a remix of one of my favorite bands, Death From Above 1979, which stars JFK (of MSTRKRFT/Teenage Riot Records) and Sebastien Grainger (who’s done vocals for DATA among others). To continue the namedrop list, the remix is by Girls Are Short, aka AL-P (of MSTRKRFT). He also produced & recorded the original song and later reprised his remix with all new instruments and attitude as Marczech Makuziak. Also, Al finally has a Facebook. (Inside joke)

Sexy Results

By MERCURIUS FM on February 8, 2010

Welcome Boppers

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.
