kylie.

obviously some of my dear readers demand some bangers on here again, so i was tempted to put this up. blatantly stolen from my good friends over at discobelle as kitsuné didn't send it to me this time (sigh), here is a hard hitting remix of 'boombox' by kylie, done by boombox resident djs jerry bouthier & andrea gorgerino, better known as jbag. big ups, martin!

kylie - boombox (jbag remix)

and just in case you have not heard them over at bigstereo yet, here are two more kylie reworks that are among my favorite bangers of the last few weeks, done by the twelves from brazil and soon-to-be mega-famous revolte from france:

kylie - 2 hearts (the twelves remix)
kylie - boombox (revolte remix)

if you ever read this, kylie, props for being on top of your game and - let's make out some time! read more!

headman + munk.

one of my favorite german labels, the munich-based gomma, decided to start a party in my inbox today and sent me blog-ready promos for two new releases by headman and munk.

in case you haven't heard of him yet, headman is one of the 'punkfunk disco' pioneers just like dfa and has remixed the likes of franz ferdinand, chromeo and the gossip. his new single 'running into time' is a catchy rock tune featuring new-wave rapper don cash from toronto on the mic and coming with remixes from lele aka parra and kitsuné newcomers autokratz as well as an additional original tune. check half the release here:

headman - running into time
headman - running into time (lele remix)

label owners munk (also known as 'the german dfa') decided to re-release three of their favorite remixes by digitalism, passarani and zongamin. those got a re-press on gomma as so many people asked for them and they're still sounding so damn fresh in 2008, even though they were produced back in 2004. and yeah, i know, you have seen this on hundreds of blogs back in the days but let's just listen to this and take a few minutes off to remember a time when everyone out there was wondering who the fuck 'those digitalism guys' are:

munk - disco clown (digitalism remix)

both releases are out now, so go buy them at your favorite store or just head over to beatport and let gomma have their well-deserved money. read more!

flairs.

once again i am like the last one who comes around to post about someone who really deserves it. but as there is a slight chance that a few people out there don't know that flairs is 'better than prince' yet, here is your chance to learn about him.

lionel flairs, always on the run between paris, staines and soho, has already played bass for benjamin diamond and alex gopher. and the latter, together with with fellow french living legend etienne de crecy, is responsible for the production of the first flairs ep, the irony-dripping 'better than prince'.

after being dropped on a self-released limited seven-inch, the track now gets an official release on roxour along with remixes by benjamin, 25 hours a day and label owner alavi himself (famous for his 'smells like teen spirit' remix). also included on the ep is 'truckers delight', a (surprisingly) bass-heavy track, that you can also get right here:

flairs - truckers delight

watch out for the 'better than prince' ep which should be all over very soon and the accompanying video directed by jonas & francois (responsible for the 'd.a.n.c.e.' and 'good life' videos). show flairs some myspace love and if you want to know more, head over to our friends at ohh! crapp... for a nice interview with the man himself. read more!

shazam.

shazam is from perth, australia and a true wunderkind, only being seventeen years old and already having an official remix for 'sweaty' by muscles out on modular, with one of his female friends taking over the vocals and making them sound better than ever before.

shazam hooked me up with an unreleased track of his named 'pool party'. and just as the track name implies, this is a perfect new school filter house summer soundtrack that will make everyone in the party crowd dance their asses off. get it before it is too late:

shazam - pool party

and just in case you missed the muscles remix, check it out here and then go buy it on beatport:

muscles - sweaty (shazam remix)

i am not sure what happens next for shazam but i am sure it won't be long until we hear from him again, no matter if it is a new remix or a label deal and an own release. read more!

little boots.

a new disco queen is born. a few days ago our friends over at bigstereo had a post on little boots, featuring one of the best tracks i have heard so far this year (and there is no doubt it will remain one of the best in 2008). hardly anything was known about the band but it turned out it is victoria, the ex-lead singer of dead disco and her first track 'stuck on repeat' - the name couldn't be more suitable - was produced by no one else but joe goddard of hot chip.

the tune is a massive disco slammer, ranging somewhere in between roisin murphy, glass candy and the sound of dfa. unfortunately the mp3 previously floating around was of low-quality, so i decided to get busy and get myself a high-quality copy and to my surprise, along with it came the permission to put it up on the blog. little boots have an album in the works and 'stuck on repeat' is out on white label in about four weeks, but go ahead and check it out here right now:

little boots - stuck on repeat (320 kbps)

i am really curious what will happen next for little boots. (and this is about the first time i am thinking that 2008 will be really exciting, music-wise!) read more!

moulinex + cut copy.

i doubt my friend moulinex needs any introduction on discodust at all, so i am getting straight to the point: here is a brandnew official remix he did for 'lights & music', the latest single by cut copy. even though it didn't make it on to the final release, i am sure you will all love it, just as much as everyone enjoyed his earlier works - once again, he stays true to his original chainsaw and candy style. enough words, get it right here:

cut copy - lights & music (moulinex remix)

as an additional bonus, here is another very recent remix by moulinex which is a little harder but still maintains his trademark sound, for turboweekend from denmark:

turboweekend - my name is legion (moulinex remix)

watch out for upcoming moulinex remixes for kap10kurt, symbolone, ben mono and pony pony run run. read more!

miami horror.

guess what, we are back to australia once again. my friend ben aka discodust favorite miami horror is back with a brandnew remix for australian rockers faker, combining electric guitars with a driving beat and a catchy alan braxe style retro lead, ending up with yet another uplifting disco sure shot. once again, hear it first right here:

faker - this heart attack (miami horror remix)

and just in case you are not reading all those other (evil!) blogs and missed it because i was slacking during that time, here is another miami horror remix from back in october, done for grafton primary from sydney:

grafton primary - i can cook (miami horror remix) read more!

spoek.

spoek mathambo aka sweat.x, twenty-two years old next level rap lyricist based in south africa is really blowing up. with a european tour scheduled for late february/early march and more and more features and releases up his sleeve, i hope everyone will finally get that he is the next big thing.

spoek himself was kind enough to hook me up with what is one of my favorite fidget tracks ever, without a doubt a true classic already, the santiago & bushido remix of 'jack it like a zombie' by fellow south african the bulgarian featuring mister mathambo on the mic, sharp and precise. anthem!

the bulgarian & spoek - jack it like a zombie (santiago & bushido remix)

taking it even further, spoek connected with up and coming producer djedjotronic from paris who has got some nice tracks coming out on level 75. i am more than glad to post their co-operation 'strongbow', the proof that you can take things to the next level and still make people dance.
