I'm sure the IFPI would enjoy this little guy... but I've got direct permission from the music manager at Muzikology himself that it's been cleared for promotional uses. Stick that one to the man! Cultural learnings aside, this new track from flying Dutchman Don Diablo can be put on the shelf next to Immuzikation and Buy Now. First rate sampling with a glitched house/electronica beat. Hmmmm... I'm wondering which sample they couldn't clear to make it non-commercial?

Baskerville might just look like another DJ duo in masks... but these dutch producer/remixers take things in more hip-hoppy/funky/rocky/electro-y direction. Expect a debut release in early 2009.

It's fair to say the Yelle remix front has gone stagnant recently. Thankfully George Lenton is on top of things and renewed that ideology today with a new "Je Veux Te Voir" remix.

It's almost Christmas bitches... and that means not only bolstering the economy and eating honey baked ham... but listening to seasonally themed remixes and mashups. LehtMoJoe somehow pulls this one off with 50 Cent and Paul McCartney. This truly is a very Christmas to you listeners out there cos I wouldn't ever post a "In Da Club" track if it weren't the holidays. And as a bonus... something a little more my style.

I'm really digging Van Scott and his collaborations since I first heard his work with fellow DJ's Are Not Rockstars (D.A.N.R. Music) Alexander Technique. Here's a more melodic track with steely cosmic vocals that he did with Jad Cooper (when paired up they go by Drlkt Freddie).

And finally, I introduce to you Under Electric Light, a band from Montreal who I was indroduced to thru soundcloud with a new song and video. They've got a definite downtempo shoegaze feel to them, which is always money in my book. Definitely a good track to end a nice eventing with. For you, a Styrofoam remix and a video of their latest single.

BONUS: I didn't want to sit on this one for too much longer. It's RESET!'s dub version of their track GASA, and the bit reduced break at 1:26 is effin fire.

Getcher Black Wednesday On
Its turkey week y'alls. What that means besides a tryptophan trip (which I recently found out is bogus) is Black Wednesday, Turkey Bowl Thursday, and an extended holiday weekend. Ahh that last one would only pertain to those with normal jobs. While I'll be working thru the holiday, I hope you all have a sweet ass time with your family and loved ones this holiday... travel safe... and listen to some sweet ass tunes during it all.

Get things started off the right way with some German electronica. Saint Pauli just sent me this today and if you look past the creepy Rammsteinian vocals, you find the familiar stadium hall epicness that is standard from Saint Pauli tracks. Also my new favorite FutureFlashs remix, this time of a Swedish act Stay Ali. The song's instrumental buildup is uber pleasant... sounding like a future disco'd-up Breakbot. But again with the awkward vocals... maybe he'll do a dub mix as well.

Gejius is a Portland, OR producer that thought it'd be a good idea to test his skills on the same Mariah Carey track that I posted of DD in last week's post. The nerve of that guy amiright? To send a legitimately excellent remix and thinking that I'd want to listen to it and maybe post it for others. Garbage thinking I tell you.

It's not every day when you get the original artist/producer of a song plugging someone else's remix. Can you really blame Alexander Technique & Van Scott in the case when it was Chewy Chocolate Cookies that did the remix? In the underground international house world, Alexander Technique probably doesn't need much intro, but in the electro blog-house community, he might. So smart move by featured artist Van Scott to get this track out and about for the world to see (and hear).

Do you like the artwork on this post? I love the amalgam of old school 8bit characters blended in contemporary settings (likewise with 8bit sounds in music). Segway to Mr Vega, of whom I've posted a few times before... but now he's self releasing his first EP. You can get it free from his myspace, but here's my favorite selection on top of another bonus remix he did for Passion Pit.

Finally, I wanted to give you a sneak into my next post which will feature a slew of Binary artists. Binary of course being the core of talent in the greater LA-land area. They're testing the old gold coast Aussie theorem, being a cannibalistic nature of everyone remixing each other. And the results are what you'd expect. Fire. Here's a more chill remix of a personal favorite from Keenhouse.
