Mad skills

The Bang Gang DeeJays are a weird bunch of people. Mid-April Annie Mac broadcasted a minimix that she had ordered from them. basically just a minimix. But since the Bang Gang can't do anything basic they decided to fill the 5 minute with 82 tracks. Yes 82 tracks in 5 minutes. (Tracklisting below)

Love Sex Magic

This track is so hot it's ridiculous. Do I need to say more than that it's Ciara and Justin?

(if you have problems with the whole "naughty videos" thing then don't press play)

Confusing I'm Not Alone

Just so you know. only V is posting today since A is at home with his mama.

There's been a whole lot of spins for Calvin Harris and his track I'm not alone. It's been all over the music blog-o-sphere for ages. But it hasn't really gotten me hooked. Some of the remixed versions absolutely but not the original. Every time I hear the original I keep thinking of all those commercial trance acts back in 2000-2002 like Dj Sammy and Ian van Dahl. I'm sorry Calvin, but that's not a very positive thing anymore. Not in my book at least.

But I'm gonna post his video anyway mostly because the first 50 seconds are super beautiful and because I think it was sucky that he was forced to re-edit the video because of the showing of a knife.

1 + 1 = Super-1

Now I wanted to take some posting to the phenomenon of ridiculous remixes that's been around for ages but I've never heard in any clubs. I don't know why really but I'm gonna give some credit where credit is due.

I started thinking about this when I saw Justin crying out that he wanted Twitterytwats as friends. For some reason I started thinking which justin-track I had been listening to the most. What I realized was that it was one of those amazing remixes that I've never heard outside my own sets and playlists. It's a half-mash (not really a mashup but close) of the sweet and naughty track called SexyBack by Justin and the glorious track Girls by The Prodigy. These two tracks are awesome and both club- and iPod-worthy by their lonesome. But the magic is when they come together.
SexyBack (The Prodigy SexyGirls remix)
Sexy Girls are Back
SexyBack vs Girls
These three names are stuff I've seen the track be called on the interwebs and I've been using the second one. Who cares what it's called as long as it's dope? I used this on the Pink Parx-mixtape posted last week. But I'm gonna give you the videoversion I found when I snooped around tonight. So enjoy.

I've never seen that you can buy this one so I guess you'll have to pirate it or something. I got my copy a long time ago, before I had a conscience. And since I've bought everything else I have by both artist I feel highly comfortable with still using it.

Evolution version II

Okay This time we're gonna see how many ways we can dance to the original versions of one and the same artist.

Many years ago there was this girl who had most of her cells in the Dancehall genre:

Rihanna - Pon de Replay
by UniversalMusicGroup

Then she turned 18 and went into some RnB and there were some changes in her wardrobe and choreography, it seems:

Rihanna - Umbrella
by UniversalMusicGroup

When she noticed that the urban genres started going electro she followed suit and became even more stylized:

Rihanna - Disturbia
Uploaded by UniversalMusicGroup

Rihanna is amazing in many ways and she's definitely evolved which is why she's on here. :)

We're sending you a message

This track is totally nuts. It's by Filthy Dukes, some of our favorite british people and the track is called Messages. It's hot like Hansel right now ;). PopJustice posted this as their song of the day Wednesday last week but we've been waiting to hear the full track. It's awesome. So retro and fresh at the same time. Heard some remixes over at the HypeMachine so this is totally going on the playlist. Sweet.
But no more nagging. Here's Filthy Dukes:

Evolution

This is a perfect example of how evolution works:

You have a solid foundation like carbon. It can be used in so many strange ways it's hard to keep track.


It can become weird primates who look weird and sound weird. But you like them anyway.

Kanye West ft. Daft Punk - Stronger
by kanyewestofficial

And then the primate evolves to human beings who are basically the craziest predators ever in existence. But we totally love them and can't stop even if we want to.


Daft Punk - Harder Better, Faster, Stronger
Kanye West - Stronger
30 Seconds to Mars - Stronger

American (not canadian) Dream

I don't wanna be any less of a track sniffer then my dear colleague. To people who know me it wont come as a surprise that I love almost anything that Robyn is involved in. We did a post on the stuff she's done over at cherrytree records just last week. Now I found a collaboration with a, to me at least, unknown artist named Troy This. The song is called American Dream (Happy Song) and it just keeps spinning around in my head. It's totally awesome. It's more dancy than the Canada-loving stuff A posted earlier. Ohh! Crapp... offers a free download of the song here. If you do wanna preview it before downloading you can listen to it here at HypeMachine.

UK vs Canada

Today I found the most amazing mashup. It was a long time ago since I heard something this good. AND it's a slow track. I'm totally shocked. Usually the slow mashups are way harder to do so people usually just wont do them. But this is a track from Pheugoo called The Complicated Scientist. The tracks within are Complicated by Avril and The Scientist by Coldplay. Unfortunately I'm Cant post the song directly here. But if you go over to Pheugoo (direct link) you can play the song and even download it for free so chop chop. Go get it.

Break the Silence

Let's just face it. We are terrible bloggers having you wait like this for a new post. The thing is that we've been really busy on our separate ways and have gotten a really amazing opportunity to remix for one of our joint obsessions. We can't really discuss this further at this point but when we're done you'll be the first to hear the results (yes they want one from each of us).

As a sign of our repentance for being such bad bloggers we're gonna give you two tracks in this post. first one of the most covered/remixed songs ever is Enjoy the Silence by the gods of DM. Here we have one of the better ones.

Yvan & Dan Daniel - Enjoy The Silence


Then we have one song that cannot be remixed well. We've searched for remixes of this song but came up with nothing. Absolutely nothing. It's Breaking the Habit by the amazing Linkin Park. It needs no further introduction. Here's the video:

Live Electronica

Okay. There has been a whole lot of buzzing in the blog-o-sphere of music about Electro acts faking live performances and stuff like that. I just wanna share my absolute favorite live performance of this genre. And it's live. And it has awesome visuals. and the original track is so suggestive and just plain solid. It is a stellar performance from The Knife of their track The Captain from the album Silent Shout. So stop what else you are doing. Press play and just sit back and enjoy sheer genius.



Sweet, huh?

Solidarity, Sister volume 2

Well we are on a roll here with all the cherrytree stuf so this would probably be a good idea to continue. If you check out the artists page on their website (link) you will find an amazing artist called Feist. One of her absolutely best songs is My Moon, My Man. You can listen to that and all of her albums at her myspace-page (link) so like Fever Ray she gets major solidarity points. Sweetness.
Here is the video for My Moon My Man which is one of those videos that just make you smile.


But there is more. Because we did not discover Feist through Myspace or Cherrytree even if that would be logical in our case. But Some time ago an extremely talented DJ named Alex or more famously known as Boys Noize featured a track on his album Oi Oi Oi that caught almost everyones attention. It was his remix of this track. double the length and maximize the Donk and add some of Alex's trademark crispyness. Masterpeice. Sorry about the video. We know it's just a picture.


And speaking of Solidarity if you check out the Boys Noize MySpace-page you will see that you legally can stream both Oi Oi Oi and Oi Oi Oi remixed Total Solidarity.

When it was good

Today we both learned something. Aparantly Flipsyde isn't just one dude but a full group. Most of you remember the song Happy Birthday which featured a sample from the ever so awesome pseudo-lesbians from Russia called t.A.T.u. What mad that song stick out was the thing with a black rapper doing a song about abortion.
But Now they have released a new track called When it was good. This track is unbelievable. V can't really put his finger on what it is but it is on his most played list for today. The video looks good as well.


Now you might wonder how we found this specific track. Who we should thank. Of course it's our friends over @Cherrytree Records. Flipsyde belongs to them. :)

And if you like the song up there in the video. Buy it, don't download. and the entire single is only $0.99 so don't be cheap, support the artists you like. (Single on iTunes)

Presentations

We kinda thought it was time for us, the midgets, to actually present ourselves here.

Morbidisco (A)
Morbidisco is the Californian dude who likes to make the dopiest remixes out there while making a living in a record store. Started out back in the day by doing the very marginalized genre of DarkCore. Mow it is just the roughest house available (and of course almost always his own remixes).

Pyrops (V)
This is our Swede who has emigrated to Mormon-land. He goes to college and tries not to piss off his mormon neighbors and classmates. His preferences when it comes to music is the elctro-stuff that is present at most clubs but he plays a lot of the urban stuff as well, like Hip-hop, Grime, Dancehall etc. Every once in a while some analog stuff enters into the sets.

Well this was just tiny presentations of us. There is actually one picture of V here on the blog. A warped pic of him as a kid is the mix art of Pink Parx.

Two hours of Tiga

This is a tip about a 2 hour long mix created by the genius called Tiga (He makes it so easy to forgive Canada for all the crappy music they've thrown at the world).

Pink Parx mixtape

This is now the first of our own creations that we decide to share with the public like this. It was actually made to fit a certain busroute so It was supposed to be named Rosa Parks but it turned out to be a Pink Parx instead. Here are some new stuff and some old stuff but all of it's good.

New Hero: Paul Devro

Now it is just V here. I just got myself a new hero. I really do like the ridiculous DJs that make these sick mixtapes. Thanks to Robyn's twittering I found a mixtape created by this dude called Paul Devro. He belongs to the label Mad Decent who has so many awesome acts, like Major Lazer and Diplo, in their books. Well the thing is that Devro put this 11-minute mixtape on his myspace and I really think you should check it out and give him the love and support he deserves for that track. (direct link)

The Cherrytree Sessions

The awesome label Cherrytree records is, according to us, releasing some of the most amazing tracks you can possibly find. But right now we're gonna focus on two hot(in more than one sense of the word) ladies, who are extremely musical and talented but hide behind the technology. You can find all the musig in this post for download if you go to the iTunes Music Store and search for 'Cherrytree Sessions'. Yes they cost 5 bucks all togeter but they're dynamite so don't be a cheap S.O.B.

First up is Lady Gaga who basically forced her way into the humming-sphere of everyone last year with her hit song Just dance. Don't get this wrong, it was and still is extremely club and iPod-worthy, but it did not show off her best side. Her absolutely best side comes out when she's behind a piano. Check it out:

If you wanna see her perform the whole tracks you can do so at Cherrytree Records website:
Just Dance
Pokerface <---------- Gotta have it


The second bunch of talent you have here is Robyn, the main thing why Sweden is not deported from Earth. She started out her career with a lot of RnB-ish sounds, then moved into more mainstream pop-stuff and created tracks like Underneath the Heart and Psycho which will forever be etched into our Swedish contributor's heart. Then Robyn went her own way, and that meant towards electro and she has never been hotter. Her versatility and talent is shown when she does stripped down acoustic versions of the songs that always seem to invade our sets when we play. Check this out:

Same thing here, if you want to see her perform the whole tracks you can do so at Cherrytree Records website:
Be Mine
With Every Heartbeat
Bum Like You <--------- Total sweetness

That's it. We know it was long but who cares when such awesomeness(as Barney would say) is on display?

Join the Dark Side - We have cookies.

Now this is some of the sickest shit that's come our way in a long time. Chewy Chocolate Cookies has done it again. They've released a mini-mixtape called Her Name was Lola, and yeah you guessed it. There is a treat for all you closeted Fanilows. The tracklist is as follows:

2- Chewy Chocolate Cookies “It was onlly a kiss”
3- Larry Tee “I love U” Chewy Chocolate re-edit
4- Chewy Chocolate Cookies “Boom Boom”
5- Calvin Harris “I’m not alone” Chewy Chocolate Cookies “Is it still 92″ Rmx
6- Junior Sanchex “Zaxxon” Take 1

R.E.M. gets fischerspooned

R.E.M. is one of those groups everybody has some remarkable memory to. There is one really amazing song that never really got released, so it is a bit obscure, called Fascinating. This one is so magical it's ridiculous. Totally iPod-worthy.


What makes this really fit in here on this blog (besides the fact that the midgets are almighty) is the fact that the 100% amazing GODS of Fischerspooner have done a cover of this particular song, per request from Michael Stipe himself. This track will be on their long awaited album Entertainment which will be released in May. Sadly enough we don't have the track so we can share it with you guys but you can always Google it or wait for the album to come out and then buy it. You will have to buy it because Fischerspooner only creates masterpieces.

Ricki Lee vs Beat Thrillerz

Okay, for you Aussies out there we have a special treat. The Australian Idol-alumna Ricki-Lee has been a bit reworked by Florida-based DJ Mickey Bono under the name Beat Thrillerz. The track in question is the very somber and serious Wiggle it. This track is absolutely club and iPod-worthy so check it out together with a visual here:


If you want to download this you can make your way over to the guys over @Digital Eargasm

Solidarity, Sister!

We like most young people around the world don't really have the money to go buy music all the time. And with the legislation on intellectual property being what it is in the western countries, we're kinda scared of downloading illegally. That's why we love artists who think about these things. One of our favorites is Fever Ray (Karin Dreijer-Andersson of the Knife). She's made her entire album available for online listening on her website. No real downloading, just streaming. A lot of our friends are listening to Fever Ray's magical debut on that site until they can afford to buy the album. If you haven't listened to it yet then you totally should. It is one of the best releases of this year.

Check it out here: FeverRay.com

If you want to involve your eyes as well in this experience you should check out Fever Ray's YouTube channel where you can see the masterpieces that are her music videos. (link)

Acoustica

We're on a roll here so we should just keep posting.

We got this awesome tip from a friend of ours, that we should check out a performance by this Swedish twitchy thing called Lykke Li. We don't really know what to think about this. It is good, no doubt about it. It is a bit retarded with so many guest appearances by the likes of Robyn, Shout Out Louds etc. Lykke Li herself is not as twitchy as she usually is so I guess the final verdict is that it's totally awesome. It is live and acoustic, and the song I'm Good, I'm Gone. Love it or hate it but after her concert at Coachella this year, you would be stupid to hate it. But yeah, the walkman thing is totally strange verging on deranged.

Dongin Bank

Okay, let's start this project by hailing one of our heroes. We're talking about Mike Skinner (A.K.A. The Streets). He has a blog where he posts some music and random stuff. We know there are a lot of people who don't understand his music but that's basically because you don't think.

Well, Mike has this kind of mixing-project going on called Skinimix. He's on number 8 now and it is so freakin' ridiculous we don't really know what to do with ourselves. If you haven't been living with the Al Quaeda for the last weeks you have heard of Susan Boyle who's taking over youtube and Britain with her amazing vocals, which she showcased on the hit show Britain's got Talent. Skinner incorporated her first performance on that show into this Skinimix with some awesome Donk. So check it out. We totally love it.

So check it out here: Skinimix #8.
