One Man Party

By MERCURIUS FM on June 13, 2011

Yo Boppers!

Starting today, I’m changing the format of my post slightly. So far I’ve only included classic tracks, but I’m going to start opening that up a little bit to also include some new material by artists who still work the old way! Don’t worry… no dubstep here… House & Techno always.

To start things off, I’ll feature a Belgian DJ known as One Man Party. Some of you may know him as Steve… the drummer of Soulwax. To quote his bio, he was given the name “One Man Party” by James Murphy from LCD Soundsystem after witnessing him go berserk on the dancefloor. All that aside, having seen him DJ twice, once alongside him, I can say with true confidence that he is an excellent DJ. Perhaps the greatest part about his sets is that he’s not afraid to draw in music from all genres… because the sounds may go from dark techno beats to classic French House to AC/DC!

You don’t have to take my word for it though.

Check out his latest downloadable DJ mix posted for free on his soundcloud:

If that’s not enough, here is a remix he made for Wallace Vanborn:
RITE HANDS (One Man Party Remix) – Wallace Vanborn

Rumor has it he’s working on some original material. So far, we’ve only gotten a taste of what One Man Party has to offer, but its looking to be a great future.

Until next time!

Twenty Ten Essential Tunes

By Afflicted Wolf on January 28, 2010

There is no proper way to unload an assortment of tunes from artist who only share one thing in common, filling up our mailbox and making our hearts rock. Each of these tunes shook me away and I wanted to share them as soon as I received em, but I’ve been so busy recovering from the weekend, preparing for the weekend and working working working working. But here they are.

Ellie Goulding - Starry Eyed (Russ Chimes remix)

This Ellie Goulding tune really shock me and put me in a romantic spell with it’s enchanting tunes. I think I’m in love.

Popular Damage does it again! They tore up our site with Digitalism and now they are back again this time with The XX, whom I would like to add will be at Coachella this year along with an awesome lineup of great artist: Thom Yorke, Phoenix, Passion Pitt, Proxy, Erol Alkan and many many more!

Pretty Lights - Fly Away Another Day

Pretty Lights again breaks me back to the romantic state Ellie Goulding had me in, but then the electrical cord sparks and suddenly I’m at mercy to high paced volts with arcade coin sounds and sad piano riffs.

Crookers Ft. Soulwax & Mixhell - We Love Animals (Religion remix)

Nick & Kevin from Religion never cease to amaze me. There is much potential within these two and I am happy to know them because one day they will be larger than life and too cool too associate with us #boppers…but for now they are rocking that Bn sticker proudly on their laptop and continue to surprise us with their originals and remixes. This Soulwax/Crookers mix of Animals has sparked a flame ever since it hit the Bunsen burner.

Dylan Rhymes v Tom Real - Godzilla (Fussy Boy remix)

And just in case everything was too soft and not deadly enough for those dirty hardcore rocketeering Bopper types. I’ve unleashed ‘Godzilla’ with the help of Dylan Rhymes and Tom Real, remixed by Fussy Boy. Lot 49 is responsible for this menacing beast and its angry roar. So enjoy the sound of crunching hardware and prepare to be floored.
