daroc.

david rocchi is french, from paris and if he's not working as an acoustic engineer he's daroc, valerie's newest discovery. when it comes to producing the 30-year-old uses an old mac and some synths to get things the way he wants them to be. not an easy task if your main goal is to produce something touching and you're not willing to work on something that you just like. daroc's got some high standards and an easy trigger erase button.

daroc - moogeux (featuring ayenash)

as far as inspiration goes, his biggest idols are morricone and moroder, two artists always obsessed with moody, cinematic music. other than that he spent his childhood being exposed to acts like stevie wonder, queen, depeche mode or french artists like gainsbourg, balavoine or polnareff. and although he likes newer stuff like portishead, daft punk or radiohead he points out that the old masters are unreachable when it comes to songwriting and production - he might not be on his own with this opinion.

daroc - hypnotic

for the near future daroc hopes to get a record deal in order to spend more time on making music, which is until now just a side project. and sure money would be nice but for the moment love will do, show him some on his myspace and head over to knicken for more daroc goodness! read more!

remix wednesdays.

no, this is not the start of a new series on discodust. due to excessive slacking throughout the easter weekend and dreamhost having some problems they obviously don't want to reveal yet causing slowness and actual downtimes on my file server, i've missed quite a few posts. and as i am not really in the mood to make twenty-five dedicated posts right now, prepare for an exception to the 'focus on one artist per post' rule, here's a bunch of [HIGHLY REC'D] remixes that i have almost missed out on.

so here we go with some new remixes by hot pink delorean, le castle vania and flosstradamus, reworks of songs by hail social, kill the noise and heartsrevolution (pictured above). get them all right now:

hail social - no paradise (hot pink delorean remix)
kill the noise - hey you (le castle vania remix)
heartsrevolution - cyoa (flosstradamus remix)

and as i am busy with 'backfilling' anyway, here are some of the most recent remixes by discodust favorites miami horror, moulinex and symbolone. they have been on the blogs for a while but every single one of them is awesome:

datarock - fafafa (miami horror remix)
symbolone - love juice (moulinex remix)
nid & sancy - m.u.s.i.c. (symbolone remix)

enjoy these tracks if you didn't pick them up somewhere else and let's just hope my server stays up and finally lets me do my job again - on with some freshness! read more!

shir khan.

once again, i managed to get ahold of some tracks by shir khan who is still by far germany's best dj to me. this time it's two unreleased remixes for audioporno vs. purple crush and princess superstar. the remixes have got the vibe of a compressed shir khan dj set, with influences ranging from electro, b-more, fidget to hip hop and baile funk and will definitely both work well on the floor. grab them right here:

audioporno vs. purple crush - the disco itch (shir khan remix)
princess superstar - bad babysitter (shir khan remix)

shir khan has more remixes in the pipeline for gameboy/gamegirl, monosurround, the current purple crush single and discodust favorite ben mono. since 2008, shir khan also hosts a great weekly radio show on berlin's radio fritz, every tuesday 20:00-22:00 (german time), click here for more info and also watch out for upcoming releases on his very own label exploited. read more!
