Major House

By MERCURIUS FM on March 29, 2010

Hey Bopperz.

Good to be back after a week off (in Vegas). Had some good times last week at Felix’s show. This week, we get back to House trax.

Our first track is a remix of Eddie Amador’s classic House anthem, “House Music”. DJ Sneak takes the track and makes a really jacked up Chicago version with a new baseline and tough drums. The mix is quite long and covers a few different sounds.

Eddie Amador - House Music (DJ Sneak's Whatever Dudes Mix)

Finally, we a track which came out in 1996 from Da Mongoloids only EP. This is of particular significance because it appears recently they’ve come back together, at the very least for DJing. If you don’t know who Da Mongoloids are, they are super collective of House artists and you can learn more here.

Da Mongoloids - Spark Da Meth (Bangin Like A Benzi Mix)

Thats it for today. Have a good week and see you next time.

I Wanna Be

By MERCURIUS FM on January 25, 2010

Yooo Boppernation

Welcome to this installment of Mercurius FM Monday… we’ve been going strong for a while now, but don’t think I’m running out of posts. There’s still tons more classics to share with you.

: by Melissa B

Our first track is a classic cut from French House rockers, Archigram. This came out in 2003 on the legendary Crydamoure record label. It’s main musical component is fantastically sampled and then layered in with some thick house beats and buzzing synths. As with all of Archigram’s trax, its a very moody and overdrive drenched track, giving it a very raw and dirty sound.

Archigram - Doggystyle

Stuart Price, Jacques Lu Cont, Les Rythmes Digitales, Pour Homme, Thin White Duke… Man With Guitar. These are all the same person. The Man With Guitar alias was only used on a single release on Kitsuné. It was later revived for a remix/edit of Madonna (of which the original was produced by Stuart Price also). Its said Stuart Price was one of the first people to use a white noise sweep in his builds… thats amazing!

To close things up, here is a link to download a Promo Mix I made. Its a nice blend of House & Techno. Keep your eyes peeled for more information on my EP in the next weeks, plus a very special mix set just for Boppernation.

Happy Festivus and Other Stuff

By MERCURIUS FM on December 21, 2009

Happy Holidays to all the Boppers!

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

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.

Needs No Correction

By MERCURIUS FM on November 16, 2009

YO BOPPERS!

Its Monday… you know what that means, more funky House music!

First, a quick recap of Friday where I saw MSTRKRFT play in Vegas and kill it so hard!

Here are a few pics from the night…

: Yes.

: Boom!

Now for the music! First up is Le Knight Club, the side project of Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo of Daft Punk. Need I say more? Yes, actually. He’s half of Daft Punk, he produced Sebastien Tellier’s stunning album “Sexuality“, and is the co-owner (along with Éric Chedeville) of legendary underground French record label Crydamoure. Enjoy.

Le Knight Club - Tropicall

Next up is a House act from New York City known as The Ones. This is the dub mix of there most well known track, Flawless. I particularly like it because of the emphasis on the chorus and how certain things are soloed. Feel free to speed to whatever BPM you like.

The Ones - Flawless (Main Dub)

Finally, in closing, I’d like to brag for fellow Boppette, Melissa B, having made a special notebook cover for a website all about unique art! You can see more about it HERE.

Peace out.

Don’t Assume

By MERCURIUS FM on November 9, 2009

Word up Boppers.

For this week’s post we’ll go French again with some old school movers and shakers.

First off is the now-world-famous Alan Braxe with his classic House guitar anthem, Rubicon. Alan Braxe is most well known for his hit single Time Out and production work with Thomas Bangalter for Stardust’s Music Sounds Better With You. This track was also a favorite among fans. It also features bass by Braxe’s long time compadre, Fred Falke.

Alan Braxe & Fred Falke - Rubicon

Next, we go even further back to a man who is one of the founders of French House… Etienne de Crecy. Although he is better known now for his much more distinctly “tech” sound (see Super Discount 2), he started off making slow funk and jazz grooves (see Super Discount). This cut happens to be a remix by SebastiEn Leger from Etienne’s own solo album Tempovision. This mix is a bit more abstract than Leger’s usual but is still quite superb.

French House Time Machine

By MERCURIUS FM on October 20, 2009

Well, Halloween is next week and we’re all planning our rad weekends. Of course, all of us at the Boppernation have party plans. Its the only way we know. (I’m not going to quote MSTRKRFT on this one.)

With that said, today I have 2 French House gems to share with you. The first one is from French bassline masters Dynamic Rockers. Practically every track they make has this fresh production style to it and of course that signature tube sounding bassline. According to their website they are working on a brand new album. Something to look forward to.

Dynamic Rockers - Thinking of You

Our next track is by Altered Beast, which means nothing to most people unless you have a Sega Genesis. Altered Beast is the project of Dirty Ali & Funky Farid, creators of the successful electro house group The Eternals.

Altered Beast - Ghost Train

That should cover it for today. One last thing I want to touch on is fellow BOPPER Melissa B. Her Drawings Group on Flickr is now well over 100 members and counting. She just finished her first Moleskine notebook (you know, the one that Vincent van Gogh and Pablo Picasso used) and is preparing to start her second one. Above is one of her epic drawings, you should all check it out and join the group and show your support.
