Dramatic Break Down

By MERCURIUS FM on August 29, 2011

Heyo Boppers.

Our first track is a remix by French House master Surkin. This is a sexy chopped up version of Para One’s Midnight Swim. It is quite fun and features a dramatic break down and build in the middle. This track got a lot of play when it was new and is still worth hearing! Check out Marble Players for more Para One x Surkin (x Bobmo).

Para One – Midnight Swim (Surkin Drowning Mix)

Another track from “around” the same time… a remix by 80s remix master, Lifelike of indie electro/punk duo The Presets. Its a fairly simple in execution show casing thin reverb laden instrumentation. A great example of Lifelike’s production work when he’s not just doing a regular dance single.

Back 2 Love

By MERCURIUS FM on August 30, 2010

Word up boppers.

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?

Daft Punk - Don't Believe the Hype (Mix 1)

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!

Solid

By MERCURIUS FM on February 15, 2010

Yoyo Boppers

Time for another Mercurius FM Monday… Some good jams below. I know in this post I’m really hitting hard with ridiculous producers and their old material. But the fact that this stuff is still so rad and solid, even today is a true testament to the time and dedication it takes to master a craft.

Yes.

The first track is a mega track, remixed into a mega remix. To start things off, we have a dope hook sorted out by Swedish House Mafia member, Steve Angello. Then, if that wasn’t enough, Eric Prydz tightens it up and makes it more club oriented transforming it into one of the most epic and uplifting dance tracks ever made. Buy the full single here.

Steve Angello - Voices (Eric Prydz Remix)

Finally, we have an old French House favorite by LifeLike. Hot off his 2002 debut EP “The Cult” this track was a favorite of many DJ’s including DJ Falcon. Lifelike uses his signature sound on this track, as usual, a tight and thick lowend coupled with an 80s hook. Fans of Felix’s studio albums should enjoy this track. This one is rare and out of print.

Lifelike - Black Chess

Well thats about it for now. To be honest, I almost forgot to write this post. But here I am an hour later..

B-Sides!

By MERCURIUS FM on November 2, 2009

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!

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.

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