good luck and... destroy! read more!

the bloody beetroots.

italy's most productive powerhouse is back again. those bloody beetroots will most likely never stop and you always get the feeling that their crusade of destruction has only just begun. as (almost) always, discodust is the best place to come to for brandnew beetroots bangers and this time we've got three brandnew remixes for you, destroying timbaland, the hives and public enemy. the 'miscommunication' remix is currently on heavy rotation wherever mstrkrft go, according to a comment on the beetroots' myspace jfk had it on loop on his hotel room for three hours, so you definitely don't want to miss any of these:

timbaland - throw it on me (the bloody beetroots remix)

the bloody beetroots.

we are starting off a rather packed week with the latest remixes by the bloody beetroots who don't need an introduction on here any more. this time they are bringing destruction to naive new beaters from france (exclusive on here) and goose from belgium, with a little help from their friends alvin and the chipmunks as well as donald duck. and if you think this sounds odd, yeah indeed. but it works great, riots on the dancefloor are guaranteed as always.

goose - everybody (the bloody beetroots chipmunk remix)

goose - black gloves (the bloody beetroots remix)

naive new beaters - live good (the bloody beetroots remix)

i am not even sure what bob and tea are planning next but you will definitely hear about it on discodust very soon. read more!

the bloody beetroots got funk.

finally everything is working out great for the bloody beetroots. they are going on italian tour with justice in december, jfk from mstrkrft called bob from the beetroots his 'favorite producer right now' and their remix for 'funk' by etienne de crecy is featured on the soundtrack of the french movie hit 99 francs. besides that, it is also featured right here on discodust:

etienne de crecy - funk (the bloody beetroots remix)

needless to say that the bloody beetroots have lots more coming up very soon, you should know that by now. still, watch out! read more!

bloody beetroots remixes.

discodust favorites the bloody beetroots are back with two brandnew remixes for captain phoenix and the toxic avenger. following their proven formula, they deconstruct the original songs with zero tolerance and turn them into violent uptempo killertracks that destroy everything that moves. as both bob and tea seem to be nothing but busy recently, there should be a lot more coming up soon. especially the 'pistols & hearts' remix has been on heavy rotation lately in the discodust headquarters.

captain phoenix - pistols & hearts (bloody beetroots remix, removed)
zshare backup link (removed)

the 'escape' remix will be on the toxic avenger twelve-inch released on iheartcomix in late august. watch out and get yourself a copy!

the toxic avenger - escape (bloody beetroots remix)

bonus: the bloody beetroots - she's a maniac read more!

the bloody beetroots + crookers.

once again i am a bit late on this but no one should miss these, so here are two new killer productions by discodust favorites the bloody beetroots (who are finally officially signed to dim mak now) and crookers.

enjoy the bloody beetroots' take on an absolute all-time classic by rondò veneziano called 'we are from venice (la serenissima)' and "day'n'nite" by rap saviour kid cudi remixed by crookers, provided by fool's gold. both tracks are hosted on rcrdlbl.com, so i will play nice and just point you to their download pages.

creation through deconstruction.

after coming back to italy from an excessive worldwide two months clubbing trip, the bloody beetroots were born in order to bring their own vision of deconstruction to the dancefloors where it all started - from berlin to london, through barcelona and new york. this is unpredictable architecture. controlled chaos. handcrafted drawing-board riots. bob & tea are out there to deconstruct everything that makes a sound. coming up soon are productions for sirbilly as well as official remixes for the whip, fox n'wolf (both on kitsune maison) and crookers (hear it on their myspace). you better take cover and watch out - your tune might be the next to be turned upside down and taken apart.

up on discodust are two rough and raw electro tunes off their first four-tracker:

the bloody beetroots - rotten pick 2007
the bloody beetroots - pour un rasage de très près

wild beasts.

boy 8-bit from the united kingdom has already remixed the likes of arthur baker, armand van helden and acid jacks. he combines todays electro with retro video game elements for his very own trademark sound and also plays bass and guitar in everyone's favorite new uk band the black ghosts. after i came across his unique mix sets over on his podomatic site that include a lot of video game and obscure (horror) movie references, i badly wanted a track from boy 8-bit and finally it is here - already played on heavy rotation by kissy sellout, drop the lime and the loose cannons, unleash 'wild beasts' on the dancefloor, roar!

boy 8-bit - wild beasts (EXCLUSIVE)
boy 8-bit mixes on podomatic

this probably turns discodust into the official the bloody beetroots fanclub blog but what can i do, these crazy italians won't stop dropping the heavy bangers. since i have posted 'ezekiel eats red hoodie', they've finished three new remixes and this is the place where you can get all of them. remixing the whip and their own bob rifo, these tracks should finally make clear they are playing in the very first league. hoping to meet you this summer, bob and tea!

the whip - muzzle no. 1 (the bloody beetroots remix)
the whip - trash (the bloody beetroots remix)
bob rifo - kinky malinki (the bloody beetroots remix)

another discodust regular, one of my favorite germans, malente, hooked me up with a special edit of his latest single 'thismanrox'. as you have probably already read over at discobelle, he wants you to remix the track and you can grab the three sample packs here, here and there. the official release will be out on luscious sounds in may.

manrox - thismanrox (web edit)

for even more malente greatness, also check out two of his most recent remixes for bleach eatin pimps and shout out out out out, get ready for pumping electro house all the way:

bleach eatin pimps - c.u. next tuesday (malente remix)
shout out out out out - self loathing rules (malente remix)

on a sidenote: i am looking for some support, as in co-editors, a css/xhtml wizard and a new place to host discodust. if you want to be a part of this and help me out, send me a mail to discodust69@googlemail.com or contact me on discodust myspace. read more!

french fries.

with rapid advancements in technology across the board, little kids are showing up the big kids beating them at their own game. i first noticed this phenomenon when i saw little 8-year-old kids doing skateboarding tricks and beating guys three times their own age in the x-games. i figured that they studied skate videos for hours and just thought these tricks were normal.

seems as though the same pattern is happening with music production. french fries just turned seventeen and is already churning out some major contenders. legend has it that he started fiddling around with production tools at the tender age of seven. it may sound like a stretch, but his dad is a major producer so he grew up playing on sound boards instead of making mud pies.

this is one of the few remixes of a bloody beetroots song that bears almost no resemblance to the motoring, crunchy sound of the bouncy italians. who would have thought i'd like french fries and beetroots together?

the bloody beetroots - theolonius (french fries remix)

if this original track is any indication of things to come from french fries, i can't wait to see what a little time and experience is going to turn him into.

french fries - coconut

his ep is slated to be released through young gunz entertainment (aptly named). until that happens, you can go grab his track 'rebola' on itunes. read more!

felix cartal interview.

no matter where i am in the world, it never ceases to amaze me how i always manage to cross paths with someone in the music world. this time it was felix cartal. i ran into him playing a show in my little hometown of san diego. i wasn't too familiar with him, so i had to get the dirt on this english major from vancouver in his pumas and his striped cardigan over his striped tee about his love for ghetto-tech, playing for random crowds and what life is like in one of the most visible musical families at the moment.

but first, i'll cover the basics for you guys so i don't have to ask him redundant questions:

name: felix = parent's 2nd choice of name. cartal = mom's maiden name.
best gig ever: glasgow
early years: played in a band that will remain nameless (unless you can sleuth my first blog post ever)
tween pop singers: remixed ashlee simpson and hillary duff
family: under same management as mstrkrft, la riots, laz, the bloody beetroots. ok and now on with the show...

felix cartal: are you recording this? oh wow.

miss toats: ya i have to get all your dirty little secrets on record so i don't forget anything. how do you think the show went? it's hard to know what to expect from san diego.

the soundsystem was complete shit, but the crowd was awesome. the speakers were already blown when i got here, but i tried to see if i could blow them more. and i think i did. i think the show was well done.

i think its always a good sign when i see two girls with hoop earrings, ponytails and shiny heels grinding to electronic music.

anytime i see girls grind i feel like i've accomplished something.

i saw in another interview that you love ghettotech. so then namedrop some tracks for me…

oh i do love ghettotech. one of my best ghettotech experiences was when jesse (from mstrkrft) played an afterparty in vancouver. it was the first time i had met him. he played like five of my songs in a row and then he played ghettotech for the next hour. people were so bummed that he didn't play any mstrkrft. it was shitty for everyone else because they were expecting something different, but i had a good time. the other time was when i saw a-trak play in glasgow and mehdi couldn't show up due to some family emergency. so he had to play for an extra hour and just played ghettotech for the last 45 minutes of his set. i've been pre-drinking to this shit for the last year and was blown away that someone finally has respect enough to play it out to a crowd of unsuspecting fans.

ok then drop me some names. i wanna hear your favorite tracks.

dj deeon - da dik suk. dj assault - yo relatives. have you seen the flash video online for it? there's like a whole flash animation that goes with it. its embarrassingly awesome. and dj funk... you know, i wont even bother saying the obvious cliché ones.

so from ghettotech to popmusic, i've seen that you have dabbled in remixing some tween pop divas (ashlee simpson, hillary duff). not many people are daring to go that direction and play with cheesy 'pop' besides you and teki latex.

ya i totally related to him when he said 'this record is for everyone who understands that britney spears and aphex twin are the same thing.' my favorite thing about remixing pop vocals are that they are produced so well. you don't have to edit the vocal tracks at all. they're all crisp and perfect. they've done all the work for you and autotuned that shit.

so where's your katy perry remix?

someone told me to do that before the track came out. and i was like 'whatever'. i think i've moved on. the end. dead issue.

fair enough. so which came first for you, dj'ing or producing?

i started djing becausec i was producing. and i heard my tracks in clubs before i ever dj'ed. and that was a huge indication that i should start dj'ing.

well, it's also a good way to keep busy and get some money inbetween producing. so you're happy with ableton? don't even wanna dabble in serato/more hands on approach? there's so many critics of only laptop dj's complaining that it's boring to watch.

it's probably the fact that i've never used serato, im not really into learning. i'm comfortable with the computer b/c that's what i've been producing on. and from there i can show my passion with what i've been doing. if you use a program that is super basic and you have no flow to your tracks, it's going to show and people aren't gonna be into you. use whatever you're comfortable that shows off your taste and your style. if you have good selection and put it together right, people will be into it no matter what you use.

so then can you think of anyone who has caught your ear recently?

i've been listening to a lot of alter ego. their stuff is wonky and circusy. i'll listen to them and think 'it's the cheesiest shit I've ever heard in my life' but then ill realize its incredible with an underground vibe to it. maybe its b/c they've been around for a while but i find that theyre still relevant. obviously i have mstrkrft, la riots, laz, beetroots influencing me. they're around and are supporting me so obviously that's going to have some effect, but family aside its mostly been a lot of alter ego.

where do you find your sound developing... into more fidget, house, bassline?

i'd say its closest to my 'venganza' remix. sortof like that wonky sound. my new tracks are sounding a bit different than my past songs. i think the fact that i named one of them 'skeleton' is working more in reverse that i wanted it to. sortof a halloween vibe that i didn't intend for it. i usually name my tracks of where i am in life at the time. 'montreal dreams' i produced right after i came back from montreal. it corresponds with what i feel at the time. i'm sortof pissed that it seems like a spooky halloween track. it's eerie, but i don't think its eerier than any of my other tracks. i don't think it's a gimmicky track, but the name is a bit condescending and misleading.

as a dj who tours alot, you must come across so many different dj's and producers. in your opinion, who do you think is pushing the genre forward in electronic music?

fukkk off. he has kindof an oldschool vibe (early 90's) with an edge to it. he's like straight techno without being too melody based. i can't really incorporate a lot of music if it's overpowered by a melody and i think his is just right. i love the justice album, for example, but i find half of it unplayable because of the melodies. but fukkk off has that edge. he has that rave/4 to the floor sound that i could throw anywhere in my set and make it work.

i feel like laz is a few steps ahead of most people, too. he's pushing things in a different direction, perhaps even into a different genre than what is expected from you guys. most dj's that you would see playing at the same clubs don't start playing songs from his set until usually months later.

he's always had a strong mindset of what he's doing so anything you get from him is going to be quality. he might be playing minimal, but he's playing it well. he's always showing me new shit that's inspiring me too. if people criticize him for that, i don't think they're ready for that. he's not playing that grimey party music anymore, but he's introducing that whole crowd to a different sound.

are you and your whole 'undocumented management' family planning on producing anything together (like machines don't care) or working on any projects?

i don't know if we're gonna produce together, but we're gonna tour together for the mstrkrft 'fist of god' tour along with la riots, congorock, laz, beetroots. it's all family and that's the way it should be.

and last, whats the best thing a groupie's ever said to you?

umm... [declined to answer]

hmm, no one seems to like answering this question. good news groupies, your secrets are safe with your favorite djs! who would'a thought. well that seems good enough for our first 'getting to know you' session with felix. expect to hear alot from this guy in the near future as he's got the means and talent to make some seismic music waves.

also, don't forget to check out my little phone chat with felix where he introduces his new song, 'skeleton' on this week's show on thehype.fm. it airs on tuesday! read more!

all you can eat.

just recently i have featured the banging 'gluttony' by hostage. today i am proud to present a true discodust allstars release: a three-tracker ep with the still killing original and excellent mindbending reworks by two of my favorite artists these days: felix cartal and the bloody beetroots. just when i thought it couldn't get much harder, they came to prove me wrong - i love you guys. and everyone else, play this out and tear the fucking club down:

hostage - gluttony ep (complete package with artwork)

hostage - gluttony (felix cartal remix) - mirror
hostage - gluttony (the bloody beetroots remix) - mirror
hostage - gluttony (original) - mirror

on the more laidback side of things, k.s aka marcel pagnol from france conducted a perfect soundtrack to the hot early summer days over here. make sure to check out his hip hop project dizzylez and don't miss this funky fresh french house tune spiced up with kryptonite:

k.s aka marcel pagnol - freaky hoes (demo) - mirror

last regular track for this post is an edit of 'signatune' by dj mehdi from ed banger records, done by the legendary spiller, who scored one of the greatest worldwide modern disco hits of all time, 'groovejet'. if you still can't get enough of 'signatune', this will definitely help:

dj mehdi - signatune (spiller remix) - mirror

as a bonus, here are the dj sets from kazey, klever and kid fresh from the latest pink pony party. shame on you if you haven't been there. this is what you've missed:

drugs.

soon-to-be superstar felix cartal is back. the true heads know his discodust exclusive 'moss vs. tree' got thousands of downloads and massive dj-set love, first and foremost on the latest guns'n'bombs mixtape. but as the industry is obviously still sleeping even though he had a dedicated post on fluokids, here is another banger for the final wake up call. 'drugs' is doing just what you would expect: taking you way up high before smashing you back down again. if this does not get the crowd moving, then i don't know:

felix cartal - drugs (EXCLUSIVE)

also known to regular discodust readers is italy's finest unsigned hype: the bloody beetroots and i don't know what to add what hasn't already been said back then except that they are also still waiting for a well-deserved deal. 'ezekiel eats red hoodie' is another first-class ode to destruction that was only built to take the whole club apart:

the bloody beetroots - ezekiel eats red hoodie

nesakyk mamai! are a lithuanian dj team consisting of manfredas, kym wild and miss america. as you can almost tell by these names, their only mission is bringing riot to the dancefloor: their sets usually include getting naked, screaming and fighting with the security. their edit of 'i used to dance with my daddy' by datarock most likely won't help to de-escalate the situation, as it is one of the hottest slow jams i have heard in a long time and reminds me of back in the days when dfa was the freshest thing out there. starting out as percussion-laden robot (kraut) rock, it constantly builds up until it turns into a devastating acid whirlwind. get them some more international bookings, i want to freak out to this:

datarock - i used to dance with my daddy

lies in disguise + the toxic avenger.

lies in disguise are still dylan from le castle vania and blake miller from moving units, in case you missed them the first time on discodust when they just got started and dropped their remix for 'penis vs. vagina' by partyshank.

now they are back with a remix for the toxic avenger that was one of the (many) outstanding tracks on the franki chan mixtape that we have got over here - get it in case you have missed it, it's a must-have. back to topic though, lies in disguise totally murdered 'poker face' and whatever i have said about electro bangers being out of fashion in the past weeks, when i listen to tracks like this i take it all back. 'straight fire', 'pure mayhem', 'total meltdown' or 'another killing on the dancefloor', whatever you want to call it, lies in disguise make it happen!

and while blake & dylan wanted this to be a first on discodust, some evil people have already leaked it but well, i guess that's what i get for always playing by the rules and not sharing it in early january when i first got ahold of it. i still love it though and so should you:

the toxic avenger - poker face (lies in disguise remix)

speaking of the toxic avenger, here is a remix of 'escape' by la riots that has been released to the blogs just after i finished my post on the franki chan mixtape, so this is a good chance to feature it now. according to the iheartcomix blog this won't ever see a release due to sampling issues but unreleased tracks are more fun anyway.

the toxic avenger - escape (la riots remix)

and as i am in the mood for even more backlinks, last summer was the first time 'escape' showed up on discodust, back then remixed by the bloody beetroots. in the meantime their remix was used in need for speed: prostreet and thanks to zshare, the file is still up, so if this is not in your archives yet, go get it:

the toxic avenger - escape (bloody beetroots remix)

watch out for more from le castle vania and la riots on here soon! read more!

this/is.

this/is are a new production duo from sydney and they've already got love and lots of plays from the likes of teenage bad girl, les petits pilous, the bloody beetroots and d.i.m.! so if that isn't enough already, it seems it's my turn to convince you of their greatness.

in fact, this/is are so good that i have bugged them numerous times to hand over their floorfiller 'w.h.s.l. (what happiness sounds like)' and now i finally succeeded! while i haven't been posting much on the more banging and driving side of things recently, mainly because i wasn't excited about anything, i wanted that track by this/is so bad because it's easily one of the best electro tracks i've heard in months! vaguely reminding me of the best days of dada life, 'w.h.s.l.' just seemed so much more energetic compared to everything i checked out recently, so there was no way i was not going to feature it on discodust! enjoy!

this/is - w.h.s.l. (what happiness sounds like)

besides this obvious winner, this/is also provided us with their banging remix for 'burn it out' by just a band which is going to be on the actual release and a minimix showing off their dj skills and passion for mixing.

just a band - burn it out (this/is remix)
this/is - minimix 101

show this/is some love on myspace and watch out for more from them, as i am sure they'll be huge in 2009! read more!

felix cartal mixtape.

once again we at discodust have the pleasure to provide you with a mixtape from no love lost records, this time by our long time favorite felix cartal. here we go with the write-up by lee from no love lost records:

"no love lost records is very excited to bring you an exclusive mix by one of our favourite upcoming djs and tunesmiths, vancouver's rising star, felix cartal. the mix felix cartal has crafted for our mixtape project is a contorted and head spinning journey across twenty of today's most thunderous electro slayers. this mix is lethal, truly. residing perfectly alongside tunes by folks like fukkk offf, alter ego, sébastien léger, junkie xl et al, are four of felix cartal's own killer tracks and his razor sharp remix of lazaro casanova's 'venganza'. felix cartal's significant production and dj dexterity continue to cement him as heir apparent in the hard electro stakes. this is one of the most intense mixes we have featured since those scallywag italian beetroots destroyed our sense of time and space with their nigh on flawless beatific rage of a mix. share the love with felix cartal via his myspace."

check the comments for the full tracklist and now enjoy another exclusive mixtape here on discodust:

oh snap!! + hostage.

in case you've missed oh snap!! on his first round on the blogs earlier this year, he is best described as (quoting himself) 'your favorite mediocre whiteboy'.

i probably shouldn't reveal more, otherwise you might not even consider checking him out, so to spark your interest again, discodust favorite hostage has just done a nice fidget flavoured bouncing remix for oh snap!! that should get people moving on the dancefloor, especially those with bill cosby sweaters and reebok pumps:

oh snap!! - bill cosby sweater (hostage remix)

UPDATE: a minute after i published this post, mickey sent a brandnew song over that he just finished two days ago and i am almost convinced that oh snap!! is here to stay and will play an important role in the steadily growing 'rave rap' scene, enjoy this tribute to one of the freshest haircuts ever:

oh snap!! - high top fade

furthermore, here are two originals (that i have blatantly stolen from the awesome get weird turn pro) off the already released oh snap!! ep 'new snap!! city', available from amazon and probably a lot of other spots:

oh snap!! - i'm too fat to be a hipster
oh snap!! - how & why

and if you still can't get enough, here is a brandnew mix by oh snap!! featuring tracks by well-known discodust favorites like the bloody beetroots, hot pink delorean, revolte and crookers.

oh snap!! - two snaps with a twist mixx

the tracklist is in the comments. if you like what you hear, let oh snap!! know on myspace. read more!

don rimini.

you may associate don rimini with his dj staple track 'let me back up' (remixed by crookers), but he's only moving forward from this point on. he kept the summer hot with his own remix of young mc's 'bust a move' and is now set to release his 'kick n run' ep. what i love about don rimini is that he sits perfectly inbetween genre fences. he can play with fidget (crookers and sinden), he can get down with the mad decent (rye rye) and he can dabble in french indie (adam kesher). versatility should be a virtue.

don rimini - hools

go show your support and snag the rest on beatport.

you know you're a child of the 80's when you had a hyper color shirt, had a crush on jon bon jovi or debbie gibson, and if you know all the words to this song.

ray parker jr. - theme from ghostbusters (don rimini ectoplasm edit)

and finally, here's a mix rimini put together last month. it's showcasing a lot of his own originals and remixes, mixed in with some fidget and bmore for good measure. find the tracklist after the jump!

don rimini - kick n run (july 2008 mix)

breakdown.

breakdown are a dj and producers collective from california consisting of reid speed and the brothers josh david and matt david. in 2005 they started throwing the 'breakdown' parties together and over the years they have focused more and more on production which was a pretty good decision as they hooked me up with a lot of material and every single track is just so slamming that i just have to post them all. breakdown already received big support for their tracks from the likes of z-trip, twocker, bass kleph as well as discodust favorites guns n bombs and rico tubbs.

the breakdown sound is very bass heavy and mainly electro house based while always keeping a fidget vibe and being much more playful than the majority of any comparable tracks with huge drops and breakdowns (no pun intended) reminding me of well arranged drum & bass and jump up tunes. first up are two banging originals which you might have already seen posted somewhere else but for a proper introduction, they need to go first:

breakdown - feel this
breakdown - do what i want

and because all of them are just too good, here are some really well done remixes of the early breakbeat hymn 'on a ragga tip' by sl2, an unreleased dj kue track featuring vocals from the n.w.a. anthem 'dopeman' (eazy-e rest in peace) and the dj dan classic 'that zipper anthem', each of them are perfect crowdpleasers:

sl2 - on a ragga tip (breakdown remix)
dj kue - don't get high (breakdown remix)
dj dan - that zipper track (breakdown remix)

and i still can't stop now, as breakdown also hooked me up with the most recent dj remix of their very own reid speed who takes you on a constantly banging bass heavy ride with her brandnew summer mix. tracklisting after the jump.

reid speed - breakdown beats the heat summer mix

show breakdown some myspace love! and once again i have to send shoutouts to get weird turn pro for first bringing breakdown to my attention. it always seems to be the same blogs where i find good music recently, always get weird turn pro and discobelle. i am not sure if this means our tastes are alike and i need to become a little more diverse or if everyone else needs to step their game up (whoa, evil eh), up to you to decide.

dlid (dick laurent is dead).

the good people over at quatre records are back with a new release. dlid (dick laurent is dead) is a member of the electroluxe family and is about to drop his 'discovision' twelve-inch on 2nd june. previous releases on quatre had huge support from major scene players like d.i.m, teenage bad girl, the bloody beetroots, missill and les petits pilous.

the title track 'discovision' is a real solid banger, not too original but perfectly fitting in with tracks by boys noize, digitalism or justice and the track also features some great aggressive female vocals on top, making it a great replacement for 'la musique' which feels a bit played out by now. so go get your latest dj set enhancement right here:

dlid (dick laurent is dead) - discovision

watch out for the upcoming release on quatre records featuring the original 'discovision' as well as a remix and another original called 'get lost!' which is one of the secret weapons in the recent dj sets of touché from the black ghosts. read more!
