The new single from Cassius is almost upon us. It comes out on the 14th of July, but until then, you can stream the single, plus B-side "Almost Cut My Hair", on this handy little widget from Fairtilizer.
Today I bring upon you one of the dirtiest electro/new wave/techno DJs from Germany. though you may not know (or like) him, i am quite stunned with this DJ just by listening to his EP, The Disaster. i am going to give you guys a couple of tracks to see how badass he truly is. His Name is DJ Hell and he is just about as hardcore as you can get.
First off: the Disaster. I must warn you this song is a whole lot like rollin and scratchin from DP being that it is completely and utterly repetitive into oblivion. But man this track is just as insane as R&S though i guarantee you this will annoy the crap out of anybody within a 25 foot radius. At an incredibly long 10 and a half minutes,you will either LOVE it or want to kill your ears.
The InkNeedle Remix however, is much more easier on the ears as it is less repetitive and still insane. It has different synths, new drum beats,and effects that make you ant to groove. plus, its only 7 and a half minutes long. If you are a hardcore, electro fan,these are for you.
And finally,there is Bodyfarm 2. This track sort of reminds me of kraftwerk with the robotic vocals and uber sexy beats. I like this so much cuz of how different it is compared with the disaster's very heavy electro and insane repetition. plus its somewhat catchy (somewhat).
Scratch master and sample whore DJ Yoda is without a a doubt one of the finest men at behind the turntables today. He won the DMC DJ Of The Year award in 2001, and has been named one of Q Magazine's Ten DJs To See Before You Die, so I'm really looking forward to his set at Camp Bestival later this month.
Here are a few Yoda gems. This is how all hip hop should be. Enjoy these, you will.
From the comfort of my large hard drive, I bring you one of the funkiest disco house EPs I own. Under the label We Rock Music, here's volume 2 from 2001 - "Grandlife" courtesy of We In Music.
I apologize ahead of time for the mismatched qualities - the three songs on this EP are in 128 and 192 kbps :( and I am truly sorry for that, but let's move on.
To kick things off, let's talk about the original mix. This song is so goddamn funky, it is one of the very few tracks in my collection that forces me to turn on "Repeat." Quite a feat, actually. It has a funky guitar riff, some background strings to keep things disco-y. The vocals are pretty good, and the falsetto during the chorus is just mindblowing (it sounds like "September to Remember," which may add to the goodness of the tune). I'll let you be the judge. Don't let the low quality throw you off.
Next is the Shortlife Mix. Basically, it's a compressed version of the original. It's pure riffs, no "bullshit" in between (who said we hated that bullshit anyway :) it adds for a nice build-up). There isn't much to say, it's just shorter.
Finally, let's end things with Play Paul - the mastermind who brought you Holy Ghostz, Spaced Out, and Spaced Out 2 (among other things - those are just my favorites). This remix is pretty nice, but I personally like the original much much better. But hey, if you like remixes, maybe you'll get a kick out of this. The opening is pretty boring, but things start to get interesting about a third of the way in. By about halfway, the remix actually sounds "good." What disappoints me is that the falsetto blast in the chorus is absent (WHY PLAY PAUL....WHY!!!). Sorry but I'll stick to the original.
I know i'm consecutive posting and i am sorry,but this must be posted.If you dont know Kavinsky,then look at this post. If you know Kavinsky,then look at it anyway. This man is an incredibly talented DJ that makes music that reminds us all of those 80s videogame soundtracks,but 100 times better. Though the track im going to post isnt new,i had only listened to it last night,and....oh my god. I never heard anything that ever rivaled the testarossa songs!. This is simply amazing. The tracks name is 1986 and is on his Limited release blazer EP (why he named the other EP 1986, i have no clue). So I HAD to post this song. For any newbies out there,this track should get you liking him pretty fast.
So I realized something,i have so many rare and hard to find DP tracks in my list,that they need to be shared with someone,so I decided ilictronix would love them. I guarantee you this: they are so rare,you cant find it on the internet. So rare in fact, I guarantee you there will be at least one mix you never heard here. oh and one of these is without a doubt a ilictronix exclusive. So shut up and listen! this will be my last Daft Punk Post on here and then i will be going on to less known artists.
The First choice of mine isnt my favorite,but it is definitely rare and interesting at the least. this Around the world remix has a small guitar solo and is impossible to find on the internet though it is mentioned in foreign websites.Dubbed as Errol Flynt's guitar Mix,this 7 and a half minute tune puts a great song and gives it more variety,including having someone else saying around the world as well.It is an Ilictronix exclusive as you wont find this anywhere else.
The next one i am posting is really tough to acquire on its own and there are only a few links that will give you this song,and no blog to date,or any website that i know of,has this song on its own. The rare emperor machine version of Human After All is one of my all time fave HAA remixes,simply because it retains the most of the HAA song in the mix wihtout screwing it up in some form (With an exception to SebastiAns remix). Sorry Justice. Yours wasnt that good in my opinion. anyways this spiced up version has new synths and effects that make this a winner in my books.
The third Mix you may have heard if you are a TDC member,but you most likely dont own it. lasting over 8 minutes,this very rare and very funky da funk remix from whelan and di scala is sure to get your groove on.
