The Shirtcast #18

I missed the bus with a proper countdown of our top tracks and remixes of this year... so instead I'll drop to you all my favorite 'hearted' tracks from hypem this year. Since there's no denying the power of hype machine in moving tracks into (and out of) the popular scene... its normally a good indicator of influential tracks. Especially those that have tickled my fancy for so many hours this year (especially while bored at work).

Also a big thanks out to Clayton for allowing us use of all these great party shots from throughout this great year that was!

Peace bitches... and happy new year!

Don Diablo + Blogosphere All Stars

Y'all saw hot bizzies epic April-fool's-joke-in-January right? It was a wake up call to all the 'producers' out there that mash together top tier bands to generate unearned exposure. In that regard, it appears as though Don Diablo is on a mission to explode in the eyes of hypem chart readers and mashup lovers. Unlike said imitators though, his ish is legit (and well earned).

bestuvoate: MGMT + Soulwax

You might be asking yourself... really? This guy really has the balls to post up another Soulwax remix of MGMT? This damn track has been on hypem's popular charts for months since it surfaced in September. So why even bother posting it? Cos it's an effin' awesome remix and this list is all about the best of the best. So sit down and shut up you big bald f*ck!


MGMT - Kids (Soulwax Remix) | download

No more needs to be said about MGMT (other than the rumor I heard earlier about collab-ing with The Chemical Brothers turned out to be bogus). But plenty could be said about Soulwax. You all saw their documentary Part of the Weekend Never Dies right? If not, then stop reading this and go watch it. Come back when you're schooled.

The brothers Dewaele from Belgium have been making music for well over a decade under different names, but arguably their most influential and popular works have come under the title Soulwax. They have done official and unofficial Radio Soulwax releases under the guise 2 Many DJ's. They host Nite Versions events that bring with them many of the biggest names in the business. Yea... the dudes know wtf they're doing. Respek.

bestuvoate: MGMT + Dskotek

MGMT might easily be the biggest band to emerge on the charts this year. Their combination of indie and electro appeal are a 1-2 punch in the blog world, which also leaves many of their tracks to be easily accessable to remixing. Electric Feel has been my favorite MGMT track since the spring when their video featuring the Show-Biz Pizza gang re-haunted my dreams (seriously... those fockers are scary).


MGMT - Electric Feel (Dskotek Remix) | download

And since then, we have seen dozens over dozens of MGMT remixes... some are garbage that feature no creativity or promise. While others emerged as dancefloor-killing tracks, such as our #16 remix today from Dskotek.

Dskotek is an up and coming DJ/remixer from the ever growing and popular scene in Los Angeles (some would say he has already arrived with remixes from incredibly popular acts including MIA, Bloody Beetroots, Crookers, and MSTRKRFT). He even has a very solidly defined sound and style, as many of his tracks feature the same intensely frantic jacked up glitchyness that orders your body to move in ways that would've been illegal decades ago.

Sorry for the exuberant lack of posts this month. Between the election, a sorely needed vacation, car trouble and our building's internet and satellite being in the middle of an overhaul... blogging has been left on the back burner. But hopefully this will continue a solid streak of good tunes and event info (started with my last post about Calamity Jane's Black and Pink Ball).

It was a looong time ago when this landed in the inbox, and Chewy Chocolate Cookies caught me at the completely wrong time. While this isn't my favorite remix from CCC, I'm just gitty that they actually included me in their list.

TANZ/TANZ is the first Swedish electronic duo that I've come across who stealth away from the iconic Swedtastic Indie-pop-mnml sound and into something much more fidget house (me likey) ARE FROM EFFIN SWITZERLAND! And I cant wait to hear more from these guys.


Mp3: Cheeky Cheeky & The Nosebleeds - You Let Me Go (TANZ/TANZ Remix) | download

So MGMT's "Electric Feel" is close to my favorite track released this year... and when combined with one of my favorite remixers, Dskotek, who's style of up tempo electro house makes this easily the best thing to romp with on the hardwood. .

Mr Mike Weez from Chicago comes back with a more than legit old school remix from Outkast's "B.O.B.". He still has no myspace, but if you knock on his door long enough, maybe he'll wake up and at least get a Virb account.

Thrills has been up on my short list for remixers to watch out for. His catalogue is ginormous as it stands, and this new Claire Hux remix makes the agnostic in all of us start second guess the power of an Halleileuja. [note: head over to beatport to check his new remix of Alex Zelenka's "Bide to Abide"] XD

Got this track last week from OK City duo Trash Yourself. If you like dirty electrotrash sounds, then give this a listen. Especially if you're in the LA area this Thursday 11/20... you'll be able to see Trash Yourself along side /bitchen favorites Dskotek, Teen Wolf, and Big Nasty at The House Lounge.


Mp3: Trash Yourself - Forget It | download

BONUS: Speaking of Big Nasty, here's his latest bangerang that Hot Biscuits helped reach the top of the hypem charts.

MGMT + True Pseudo

This is mayhaps the best MGMT remix you've ever heard, and the best MGMT remix you'll ever hear. Mmk maybe that's going a little over the top, but this remix by True Pseudo is still banging off every effin wall. It just reeks of west coast electro, kinda like what Villains and LA Riots have been able to give us for a while now (and that is mosdef a good thing).

MGMT + Showbiz Pizza

MGMT has seen a lot of radio play on our local Q101 radio program 'Crash Test Radio' since the winter. And now the Brooklyn based jungle/indie/rockers have a new video for their single 'Electric Feel'. An excellent representation of the dirty and primal feel of the song.

And yes, that is a cameo of the crew from Showbiz Pizza (scariest mo-fo's of all time... imagine seeing that ish on stage at your 5th birthday, not everything in the 80's was great)

And if you follow the audioblogs you will have noticed a Justice remix of said song that's been greeted with mixed reviews. Some love it for just being something new out of the French electro duo, others think it doesn't do the original track justice (no pun intended). I'll hold judgment on the remix, but absolutely love the original. Give them a listen and see for yourself.
