moulinex - break chops (xinobi's pork chops remix)

and i can't let you go without one more tune, moulinex remixing denmark's when saints go machine:

when saints go machine - you should be someone else (moulinex remix)

hold out for more from xinobi and moulinex (in a place near you) very soon! read more!

top billin + entre tes cuisses.

my favorite scandinavian dj-team top billin is back with a new mix-set full of banging b-more, booming miami bass and broken beats. this time it is a very special one as it is a megamix completely consisting of their own productions. i have seen them live a while ago (actually it has been too long, nenis!) and this set captures their uplifting and very club-oriented sound really well. get ready for top billin volume 8, 'tales from top billin' and remember top billin stay in the club, live in the club, die in the club, never leave the motherfucking club!

top billin vol. 8 - tales from top billin - the megamix (yousendit)
top billin vol. 8 - tales from top billin - the megamix (megaupload)

check the comments for a detailed tracklist, get more from top billin over at the top billin mp3 shop and as a bonus, get one of my favorite tracks in the mix right here:

sir nenis & dj pushups - gaybar starlite

and while we are in the b-more area, here are two fresh b-more tracks with a twist by entre tes cuisses from paris who has already got a lot of love from tastemakers like tomboy, crookers, kazey and debonair samir. so get it on already:

entre tes cuisses - the bowling anthem
juvelen - they don't love you (entre tes cuisses remix)

watch out for more from both entre tes cuisses and top billin. read more!

the shoes.

everyone who knows me has heard me talking about almost nothing else but the shoes throughout the last weeks. those two guys from france are definitely one of my favorite acts right now, i guess one could say i am almost obsessed with them. they have been getting a bit of blog hype already but they still deserve a lot more attention and i am sure this is just the beginning.

'knock out' is a real heavy banging track with distorted drums, slamming guitars and most of all some of the best vocals i have heard in ages. every snare drum hits you like a precise uppercut and every guitar stab is like a hard slap in your face. in their own words: 'showtime! pressure! hate! rage!'. if this doesn't make the crowd freak out, i don't know. get to know the shoes right now:

the shoes - knock out

also up are two remixes of 'knock out', the first one by sevenfive & leroy washington, from now on known as tuff wheelz, who delivered an outstanding eight-minute epic anthem that reminds me of the best days of techno (yeah right, that was like a century ago) by featuring a growling acid bassline and some nice spherical chords along with elements that never go out of fashion: banging drums and old school breakbeats. definitely keep an eye on these guys as well! the second remix was done by tom deluxx who adds some of his trademark style to the original.

the shoes - knock out (tuff wheelz remix)
the shoes - knock out (tom deluxx remix)

add the shoes on myspace and watch out for more from them on discodust very soon, there is still a lot to come! read more!

fake blood + bonde do role.

one of our favorite upcoming producers out there, fake blood is back! after his much loved remixes for armand van helden and black ghosts that were both featured on discodust back then, sang finally returns with another floorburner, this time a banging remix for the wonderful bonde do role.

this remix features everything you love about fake blood: a deep bouncing bassline, old school breaks and chopped up vocals. i doubt i will hear a lot of sets and mixes in the near future where this tune is not included. enjoy another exclusive first on discodust and keep an eye out for the official release on the always amazing domino records very soon!

bonde do role - gasolina (fake blood mix)

sang has got more remixes as well as original material in the works, add him on myspace to ensure you don't miss new bangers when he finally drops them! read more!

la riots.

la riots are daniel ledisko and jo'b from yeah right, guess where. they have already done official remixes for kid sister, chromeo, scanners and discodust favorites ocelot.

here is their latest remix for the new single by drum & bass legend photek called 'love & war' which kinda reminds me of the days when i first heard of mstrkrft and was like totally excited, you will know why when you check it out. just get it right now and play it loud:

photek - love & war (la riots remix)

and just in case you missed it, here is their banging justice remix as well:

justice - dvno (la riots bootleg remix)

show la riots some myspace love and go add them already! read more!

valerie.

back in august we had a feature about college from the valerie collective which was really well received, so it is about time for some more information on this very promising clique of talented artists.

besides the melancholic and very eighties vibe of college, there are minitel rose who have got a really driving french sound and are an actual band, the outrunners whose tracks could be the definition of perfect french house with (italo) disco roots and the latest addition to the valerie camp is maethelvin who reminds me of kavinsky, not just for being into fast cars but also because his music is heavily based on fm synthesis as well. find out what suits you best but i bet you will like all of these tracks:

minitel rose - valerie côte ouest
the outrunners - cool feeling
maethelvin - lost in big city
college - can you kiss me first

if you are somewhere near nantes, france, make sure to go to the valerie party at le lieu unique on november 10th featuring all the acts mentioned above plus fellow team member anoraak as well as special guest and discodust darling russ chimes. i wish i could be there!

for more check out the valerie blog. for more on minitel rose head over to my friends at knicken. read more!

felix cartal + britney spears.

as if britney spears wasn't down on the ground already, discodust favorite felix cartal decided to finish her off and totally destroy her track 'outrageous'. it has been a while since i have been excited about any electro bangers because everything out there just sounds the same and hardly anyone really seems to have their own style but felix cartal always leaves me stunned and just like all his tracks, this is brute force and will cause riots on the dancefloor. enjoy another discodust exclusive first:

britney spears - outrageous (felix cartal remix)
zshare backup link

while felix cartal has currently got more remixes in the works that you might hear on his myspace soon, britney got new lips, sexy moves, lost her kids and is currently preparing more drama.

and in related news, if you didn't get it from my friends over at discobelle already, definitely check out this remix of britney's current single 'gimme more' by eli escobar of hollertronix fame, featuring the hottest female rapper alive: amanda blank.

britney - gimme more (eli/grayson mix feat. amanda blank) on yousendit

glass candy.

first of all, i admit i am a bit late this time, so if you are one of those weirdos with fifty music blogs in your feed reader (like me), this will probably be old news to you. but in order to show the kids there is more out there than just french house and brutal bangers, i am proud that i've finally got around to write about glass candy.

portland's glass candy are vocalist ida no and producer johnny jewel, who is also producing the fantastic chromatics. making use of a lot of retro synthesizers, their sound is somewhere in between italo disco and wave which probably makes them a part of something the media calls 'neo disco', who knows, to me they have written some of the best and most elegant songs that i have heard this year and although these tracks probably won't fit too well in those average 'blog house' incest track selection sets floating around everywhere, they'll definitely make people dance and there is nothing better you can currently listen to while being at home or out on a night drive. seriously, get evey single track if you haven't heard of glass candy yet.

glass candy - beatific
glass candy - life after sundown

and don't stop just now, get all of them:

glass candy - candy castle (demo)
glass candy - geto boys (demo)

watch out for more from glass candy on italians do it better records, troubleman records and their myspace page where they are constantly putting up new demos for download. much love to panda toes, bibabidi and get weird turn pro who have featured them much earlier and are generally killing it lately.

UPDATE: this just came in via pitchfork.
