OK, this is a warning… You must sample/play/download/lick/fuck/etc. every song/edit/rmx that I have put into this post as it’s all gold. News wise… we now have Twitter so follow us on that bad boy. I think it’s social internet v3 or some shit so we may as well embrace it and not live like a dinosaur under a rock.

Since this post is going to be massive, I’m going to keep the talking to a minimum, and the tunes to a maximum. RAWRRRRRR!

Aeroplane are my favourite cosmic-goodness producers at the moment, and it will remain that way with all their constantly churned out goodness that has been gracing my ears of late. Only last week, I managed to get this long awaited Lindstrom & Solale remix that hopefully gets a proper release soon. However, their latest mixtape for Mixmag is pretty disappointing. Meh.
MP3: Lindstrom & Solale – Baby I Can’t Stop (Aeroplane Remix)

Sticking with topic of Aeroplane, Javelo is one of the other alias’s the lads used, before Aeroplane started. Great remix from Compuphonic.
MP3: Javelo – Spleen (Compuphonic Remix)

Lindstrom & Prins Thomas have their second album “II” coming out shortly which is just bliss. More live feel to it, great input from Thomas here. The drums sound great. What can I say – they are the Nordic legends of cosmic disco.
MP3: Lindstrom & Prins Thomas – Rothaus

Still Going and Prins Thomas have done great remixes to the album title track “Kingdom of Rust” by Brittish indie-rock band Doves. The second album just dropped (last one was in 2005); I strongly suggest you get your hands on “Kingdom of Rust” – that good!
MP3: Doves – Kingdom of Rust (Still Going Remix)
MP3: Doves – Kingdom of Rust (Prins Thomas Diskomiks)

Thomas just released a great 12″ on his label Full Pupp.
MP3: Prins Thomas – Fizpatrick

Goodness from Prince Language, Todd Terje, Pilooski and Discodeine (Pentile & Pilooski) … flourishing.
MP3: The Droyds – All I Ever Wanted (Prince Language Remix)
MP3: Arbeid Adelt – Death Disco (Todd Terje Edit)
(Woops, sorry A.D.D., didn’t mean to cut your lunch – posted here first.)
MP3: Yuksek – Extraball (Pilooski Remix)
MP3: WhoMadeWho – The Plot (Discodeine Remix)

Great release from Loin Brothers on Australian label Future Classic – brilliant remix from Tiny Sticks owners/DFA kids Mock & Toof; really enjoying this one. Speaking of Tiny Sticks, get your hands on Rogue Cat’s (Dean Meredith from Chicken Lips) “Magic Journey” – the Terje remix is pure.
MP3: Loin Brothers – Heavy Helmet (Mock & Toof Remix)

New DFA is always refreshing and especially when it’s a new act added to the roster. UK’s Capracara (Jonathan Burnip of Tiger Taming) just released “King of the Witches”, a track that fuses Kraut with Chicago discohouse. Rub N Tug’s take this track head on, giving it heavy Italo basslines and haunting synth lines, making it one disco killer. Caoracara is doing a remix of Detachment’s “The Flowers That Fell”, being released early April on ThisIsNotAnExit Records – home of They Came From The Stars, I Saw Them, etc.
MP3: Capracara – King of the Witches (Rub N Tug Remix)

DFA’s little brother Rong has always been delivering the goods. Free Disco’s “Left Field Boogie” is the latest release on Rong and its quirky as fuck. Very cheeky; great bass, handclaps, also embraces the nice string sounds making you want to dance like your mother when she was in form at your 10th birthday party.
MP3: Free Disco – Left Field Boogie

Den Haan’s “Release the Beast” is one huge, umm, beast?… of a track. Such a gem – released on Optimo’s Keith McIvor’s label, Optimo Music. Such a beast, tame that fucker.
MP3: Den Haan – Release the Beast

Higamos Hogamos has been getting a good workout at the blog. Mickey Moonlight gives some majoring blitzkrieging here.
MP3: Higamos Hogamos – Major Blitzkrieg (Mickey Moonlight Remix)

The latest RVNG OF THE NRDS release is from In Flagranti and its so so dope. Great edits.
MP3: Sea Skid – Swami

Permanent Vacation can do no wrong and this newish release from their camp by Good Guy Mikesh & Filburt is unquestionably so underated. I highly recommend this track – great disco fused with techno, works so well; enjoy.
MP3: Good Guy Mikesh & Filburt – Someone Told Me

This Lifelike remix is god damn funky. Digging this big time.
MP3: The Private – My Secret Lover (Lifelike Remix)

Bottin’ is a great little addition to Italians Do It Better. Really feeling this.
MP3: Bottin – No Static (Club Version)

This Escort remix of Zombi’s “Sapphire” is just a hidden beauty, classic stuff.
MP3: Zombi – Sapphire (Escort Remix)

Brooklyn’s House of House’s track “Rushing to Paradise” is a nice little deep house number. Great piano in this one, highly recommend a listen.
Visit them at their myspace or buy the record here.

You may remember Simon Baker for his remix of SMD’s “Sleep Deprivation” or his song “Plastik” that Todd Terje mixed. Either way, check this out.
MP3: Simon Baker – Way Out of My Head

Gus da Hoodrat of Bang Gang Deeeejaaaayss has his new mixtape out in the Finger Prince series – very tightttttt. Check his edit of Oizo’s “Positif” aswell.
MP3: Gus da Hoodrat – The Finger Prince, Part 5
MP3: Mr. Oizo – Postif (Hoodrat’s Acid Done Ate My Animals Edit)

Aaaaaaaaand to wrap up this post, last but not least here is some more great things from Outlaws, who received great acclaim from his work that was presented to the blog in the past. First up is a remix of Cassette Kids which has a huge, sad story behind it but I will leave that for a rainy day. I don’t want to dampen the mood here but at least enjoy the remix, its dope.
MP3: Cassette Kids – Acrobat (Outlaws Party Mix)
Sink your teeth into this mixtape titled “Work is a Disgrace Mix” – it’s krazy. Tracklisting can be posted if needed.
MP3: Outlaws – Work is Disgrace Mix

Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

First off, before I commence the music write-up wizbang stuff, I just want to say Fred Falke was amazing. If you missed him in Melbourne (or any other gig for that matter) then I am very disappointed with you… unless you had a rad-ass excuse. But I doubt that. Live bass over ‘Intro’ – enough said!

To get started I’m introducing Act Yo Age, signed to Ajax’s label ‘Sweat It Out‘. With new remixes on the horizon: Franz & Shape on Relish, Larry Tee’s new single and one appearing on Shir Khan’s Exploited label. New EP will be out early July on Sweat It Out. Very hot prospect so keep your eyes peeled.

MP3: Act Yo Age – In En Why Cee
MP3: Act Yo Age Feat. Capleton – Juan Pablos Jumpin
Oh, get some more Act Yo Age material at redthreat.

As you know The Presets are cooking up quite a storm at the moment, with their Aussie tour selling like hot cakes. But bigger news is that their second album Apocalypso has just come out, well yesterday to be exact. You know the drill; smash that piggybank, gather up the pennies and use them to buy this bad boy. Highly recommend it and you will see why.

MP3: The Presets – Aeons
MP3: The Presets – Together

Now for some love from France. SebastiAn’s highly anticipated EP (staring the much hyped track “Motor”; posted here) is about to drop on Ed Rec, and trust me, the three tracks sound bloody fantastic.

MP3: SebastiAn – Army

Still continuing on with the French music, I recently just got onto a duo named Pillage staring Florian and Frederic. I got in touch with Frederic earlier this week:

“Flo and I met when we were doing radio about three years ago. He has a Rock show but plays electro, and I used to have a hip hop show, but played electro too. Flo has a more underground background, he used to play at free parties and stuff, but got bored. I had a more hip hop background.

We started mixing together by accident, i needed help and he was there. it turned out pretty good, and Electrosexual invited us to play for his birthday.
After we had to split due to our respective activities, and we met again in Paris a few weeks ago and decided to create a band called Pillage, to make our collaboration official.

Our objective is to play in clubs where ever we can and have fun playing our tunes.”

If you are a sucker for that classic, raunchy synth sound then definitely check them out. They’ve done two remixes for UK’s Old School Reunion and French beauty Nina; also have done their own little number called “Die 4 Ur Ass”. Currently they are working on a live set for parties in summer so expect something promising coming up very soon.

MP3: Pillage Feat. Rogers Nelson – Die 4 Ur Ass
MP3: Old School Reunion – Just Robotica (Pillage Remix)
MP3: Nina – NinaNananiNanana (Pillage Remix)

Islands have always been a great indie act from Montreal that I have been following after hearing their track “Rough Gem” on the telly. If you are a Unicorn fan then you will instantly love Islands. Take my word for it. Make sure you check out their first album “Return to the Sea” and also look out for their second album “Arm’s Way” out May 20.

MP3: Islands – Pieces of You

Still Going, one of our favourite groups on DFA Records, have just done a magnificent remix for Love Motion Disco. It’s dreamy, it’s pleasant, it’s inviting and yet so simple at the same time. The same could also be said for their remix of Force of Nature’s “Transmute”. I really could listen to this all day.

MP3: Love Motion Disco – Love Love Love (Still Going Remix)
MP3: Force of Nature – Transmute (Still Going Remix)

Goldfrapp’s new single “Happiness” has been given the treatment by our wonderful Beyond the Wizard’s Sleeve. You know you love it. And if you really do, just remember there is more Wizardry at this post.

MP3: Goldfrapp – Happiness (Beyond the Wizards Sleeve Re-Animation)
