Lets try this again

Hop the pond bitches

I fucking love dubstep... but dont ever get to post much of it up on the blogs. Not because there isn't ample material out there to talk about, but because nobody ever sends me shit in my inbox. If I dont get sent more tracks like Marco Del Horno did, then I'm gonna have to revert back to posting other people's releases and bloggable material (i'm lookin' at you Rusko remixes).

Mike Skinner - Slow Song (Marco Del Horno Dubstep Remix)




Also have some bigger named artists from the electro world, getting the remix treatment from a Mr Benjamin Daly. Dont know much about the London native other than he has some solid house in his music.

bestuvoate: Busy P + Crookers

Sorting thru the many Crookers releases this year left me at a crossroads with two Frenchmen. I could either go with their Don Rimini mix (which was a bit too similar to the original), or their Busy P remix, as featured below, to be the #15 remix of the year. I'm more than content with the results (and dont worry Don Rimini fans, this wont be the last you'll hear of him) XD


Busy P - To Protect and Entertain (Crookers Remix) | download

I'm giving more of a nod to Crookers and Murs on the success of this particular remix for two reasons:

1. Murs' vocals are ace to work with
2. the Crookers' overhaul of the character and beat of the track are also... ace

The Italian duo converted a song that originally tried to be gangsta rap (which came off as nothing but slow French electro, but still good in it's own right), into an up-tempo rap-electro masterpiece. We saw earlier in this list what can happen when a great remixer gets his hands on some decently laid lyrics [yuksek], and Crookers confirmed that trend with this addictive and bouncy rendition.

Bonus shout out for being on the roster for Chicago's own Potty Mouth Records!!!

Crookers + Dskotek

By now I'm sure most of you have heard the Paper Planes remix done by Dskotek (just a few posts below this), and is arguably and critically the best remix released thus far (at least in my critical opinion, if that matters). A brief stay at his myspace page, and you'll have heard another bangin' west coast remix, this time of "Chippin'" by Italo Disco duo Crookers. He'll be busy playing live sets all over the west coast this fall, so hopefully he'll keep up enough free time to bust out a few more fire-starters.

Edit: Congrats Dskotek... you have the #1 song on Hype Machine!! Way to go mate!!!

Fußball Donnerstag

Germany plays Portugal in the Euros today at 130 local time. It's do or die time as the loser goes home, and the winner continues on. After the bittersweet finish in the '06 World Cup, losing to Italy in the semi's, but then beating Portugal in the 3rd place match... the world will definitely be watching intently to see how the two match up again. And it's never easy when you have to face the best player in the world, Christiano Ronaldo, but will surely be a great game either way. Good luck fellas!



On to music, I got a few tracks from a talented broski in NY, goes by Lovelock. I say talented, because after hearing his original produced tracks, he's obviously loaded with it. Why he is unsigned is beyond me. He's self-releasing an album soon, which humbly cant come soon enough. Enjoy his beats streaming here and visit his myspace for a couple other amazing tracks, including my favorite from him, 'Maybe Tonight'.

Next up, James and Celeste from OldSchoolReunion were nice enough to send over a new remix they recently finished. You remember their pair of tracks I posted last week right? Well I'm glad to report the new one is post-worthy as well, check it!


Mp3: DJ Mark Flip - Idle (OldSchoolReunion Remix)

Lastly, I wanted to post just one more reminder before the efkin' killing that will be taking place at Smartbar tomorrow night. If you dont know yet that Crookers are on their way, you need to clear you schedule now and make it up to Wrigleyville for a party and a half.

Crookers to visit Chitown

Crookers first ever visit to the States will be a kicking-off shindig for their NA tour. And what other venue can host such an act than Smartbar here in our little town of Chicago? The killing starts June 20th when the Italian dj's will be lighting decks on fire and eating babies along side Chicago House legends Santiago & Bushido and James Amato. Give them all some myspace love and see you bitches out there next Friday.
