parallels.

discodust favorites parallels (previous posts can be found here, here and here) are back with some new material, including the final version of 'reservoir' (which is still one of my favorite tracks) and an all new robot disco slow jam named 'vienna'. both tracks prove that they are moving further into the 'actual band' direction, now that the wonderful holly dodson (pictured above) took over the microphone.

before you get all busy on downloading the tracks, you should head over to the all new parallels.fm website where the band will post all of their new material including songs, videos and productions. as opposed to the average bands only having myspace pages these days, parallels are going for a more in depth way to connect with people who like their music. and i bet you like what you will hear now.

for a taste of how good parallels sound live, check this performance:

watch out for the upcoming ep on thisisnotanexit featuring 'ultralight', 'midnight voices' and 'dry blood'. also coming up is a remix for detachments that will be on their next single called 'the flowers that fell' which is coming out at the end of april. now go bookmark parallels.fm and show them some love on myspace. read more!

p e a c e fire + division kent.

we have been supporting p e a c e fire (pictured above) since day one and while it has been a bit quiet around him recently, he is finally back with another epic masterpiece in his trademark sound. this time it's a remix for division kent from switzerland and once again p e a c e fire delivers some of the most beautiful synthesizer work you can come across these days. loving it!

division kent - the year of magical thinking (p e a c e fire remix)

now that he is back around and we've got proof that he can handle remixes just as good as original pieces, i am sure we'll hear lots more from p e a c e fire this year! don't miss out and show him some love on myspace! read more!

justin faust remixes.

discodust favorite justin faust strikes back again and sent us two of his most recent remixes, one for 'better off as two' by frankmusik (pictured above) and the other one for 'velours 77' by kid machine. and you all know justin faust by now anyway, so the only thing i can add this time is that he just keeps getting better and better!

hostage.

as always, your favorite blog (that's discodust, goddamnit), gets first dips when hostage drops a new tune, so here we go with 'the biggest wobbly cunt of a bass i could make' and the most 'mad cheesy breakdown like in gluttony with a weird old 70s vocal sample' that hostage could provide, so play it loud and stop thinking already!

hostage - murder rocket

get the fuck high on this or go somewhere else. hostage is the man and you know it! read more!

love concept.

while some people are saying that chicago's club scene is relatively dead, i keep hearing more and more good music blowing out of the windy city. this time, it was love concept that breezed by.

love concept - windy city television

this next one wins because it sounds like the closing song in an epic john hughes film. can you see camera pan to the camero with the flock of seagulls haircut, leaning against it in tweed cuffed pants and a pastel button-up casting his dreamy stare at the female lead. then they embark on a vocal duet and the credits roll.

love concept - time enough for love

love concept are currently working on polishing their live act to hit the road. can't wait to hear what comes out of these guys in the near future. three cheers for unsigned acts!! read more!

sparkle motion.

as you know, we don't post mixes that often, unless they are really special. the 'flight school vol. 1' mixtape is one of those really special mixes, providing a continuous flow of top-notch 'breaks', as in 'samples' or really exciting passages, all from 80s r&b tracks. for the producers this might mean: here are 50 minutes of perfect sample material for your upcoming productions. for the music lovers this means: beware of going insane!

i am a bit in a rush, so here is a quote from the original promotion package: "sparkle motion are club av pioneer dj yoda and 80s R&B connoisseur and spinemagazine.com music editor tobes. they got together and plucked out selection of their favorite 80s r&b breaks - no vocals, just an hour of raw 80s beats for the jacuzzi, the private jet, or the boom boom room."

much love to sparkle motion, i fucking love this and insist on a sequel! read more!

la roux + foamo.

welcome, readers. today i'd like to introduce you to a yet unheard singer from the united kingdom, going by the name of la roux and her completely new track 'in for the kill'. still reading? no, seriously, who am i kidding?

here is yet another remix for one of the most blogged tracks this year, this time from discodust favorite foamo who gave the skream remix another re-vamp, adding some well-needed rave flavour, a straight kickdrum, flanged amen breaks and burialistic percussions. so for those who thought the recent remix by hostage was too heavy, this might be the one for you! i love them both!

la roux - in for the kill (foamo's skream remix bootleg)

big ups to the great people over at funkism for importing this to the land of blogs and i am tempted to promise you that this will be the very last remix of this track but who knows! keep up on myspace with foamo, la roux and skream. read more!

flosstradamus + jokers of the scene.

i was meant to have like half a dozen posts up here since last night but just didn't get around to do it. while you're desperately waiting or not giving a fuck at all, here's a new jokers of the scene remix for 'big bills' by flosstradamus (pictured above) featuring caroline polachek from the super sweet up and coming indie pop sensation chairlift. prepare for a gloomy mixture of techno and electro house with never-ending reverbs that you would rather expect on a post-rock track. i simply love jokers of the scene.

flosstradamus - big bills (jokers of the scene after 4am rework)

this came in via green label sound where you can also download the original track as well as additional remixes by blaqstarr and flosstradamus themselves - for free. and you like that, right? you cheap motherfuckers! read more!
