bleach



Tons of goodies tonight. Enjoy, you crazy motherfuckers

1. Bart B More- Romane (Para One remix)

Brand new remix on Sound Pellegrino. Para One delivers a monster of a remix, as usual. He is releasing a few original songs under the name Jean-Baptiste de Laubier this year. Keep your ears open and your eyes peeled, 2010 will be a great year for him.

2. Rubix- Baiser sur la disco(Rubix refix)

This song has been getting heavy rotation from A-Trak, Teki Latex and other big djs. It's a somewhat catchy beat, with a dope groove.

3. Drop the Lime- Doomsday Device

Some blogs have called this the new summer anthem of the year, à la Pon de Floor or Riverside, but I'm not so sure. However, it is a monster of a tune, as we've come to expect from Luca, a.k.a Curses, a.k.a Drop the Lime. Trouble and Bass crew run all things bass culture in New York. It is described as a "post-apocalyptic death rave dance floor destroyer" on his myspace, which is as apt a description as you're gonna get. Not quite in the same vein as his other material, but you should definitely still check it out

4. Riva Starr- Black Mama (Bonus version)

Riva Starr once again appears on Avenge The Virgins. This is a bonus track on his album, and those horns get me every time. I cannot for the life of me remember where they are from, but something tells me its from an 80s ballad. Either way, an original and sexy take on this sample from the very versatile Riva Starr.

5. Mad Kids- La Danse des Maladroits

Local boys Mad Kids are extremely talented, maestros of tech house and weird tribal rhythms. I'm not sure how new this song is, but it has a very solid rhythm and groove. Their trademark sound is apparent in this song. These guys will be big in the next few years, mark my words.

a shitty post, I must admit. I am a few drinks deep, however. More quality tomorrow, I promise.

Back to Basics Pt. 1


Let's all hope that this concept will appear more often than the last one I did. I know most of you enjoy that good old hip hop, and I also know that not many of you actually have the good old hip hop.

X-Raided - Macaframalama
Macaframalama: someone who has mastered the art of communication, see also "to mac a bitch".

Memphis Bleek - I Get High
We sure do

Lupe Fiasco - Dumb It Down
Big hard bassline, I likey. Lupe talks about the industry's insistence on the same old themes.

Smiff 'N' Wessun - Bucktown (Remix)
Just woah! Some of us lucky mofos got to see them in show with Black Moon during a night of epicness. Let's all thank Cal once more for this!

Mobb Deep - Hell On Earth
Seriously what is there to say here, this duo from Queens are legends. If you don't have this song yet, be sure to add it to your collection.

And so ends the first Back to Basics. You can rest assured that when I can't find a decent idea for an electro post, I'll keep dropping this type of ish.

peace

Zinc

Zinc: a metallic chemical element; having the symbol Zn and atomic number 30.

THINK AGAIN

Zinc is a dj out of the UK who's been around for quite some time now. At the start of his career, he became well known for his Drum and Bass. He recently moved away from this style, took some time off, and has come back with his own style of house; Crack House.

DJ Zinc - 128 Trek
This song perfectly describes his take on house; fusing it with his roots in Drum and Bass and adding a few jungle sounds. He once again shows his skills in producing a low BPM banger like he had previously done with "138 Trek".

Since his comeback with the Crackhouse EP, Zinc has been working hard and recently dropped the Wile Out Ep. Zinc brings back Crackhouse's "Blunt Edge" and throws some catchy vocals by Ms Dynamite over it. The result, the A-Side of the EP.



DJ Zinc Ft. Ms Dynamite - Wile Out

DJ Zinc - Blunt Edge

He also collaborates with Benga on the insanely wobbly bassline behind "My DJ" which once again has Ms Dynamite throwing in some erratic vocals.



DJ Zinc Ft. Benga & Ms Dynamite - My DJ

Ah and now "la pièce de résistance". The last song on the EP, "Music Makers" is one of my favorite songs of February. The vibe is so spacey and uplifting I can pretty much listen to it nonstop. Plus the lyrics are mesmerizing "We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams." Don't be fooled though, this song could easily kill it in a club.

DJ Zinc - Music Makers

quehoraes


going to hit you with some strange and special things this evening.

10:50
L-Vis 1990- United Groove (Sound Pellegrino Thermal Team remix)

The original song came out quite a while ago on Mad Decent records, but for some reason, the remix package just recently arrived. It features remixes from Buraka Som Sistema, Baobinga & I.D, MJ Cole, Kingdom, TRG and this one, which is my favorite. It is a well known fact that the label called Sound Pellegrino has been making a serious impact in the funky/tech/tribal/etc. house music scene with a wide variety of releases, each one crazier than the last. From 'Boriqua' to 'Peanuts Club' to 'Caked' to 'What is Guru', this label is aiming for the stratosphere, and beyond. Neat fact that not a lot of you might know: Sound Pellegrino was founded by none other than locally infamous Teki Latex (of TTC fame) and DJ Orgasmic (also of TTC). Some might talk down on the rotund frenchman, but he has a knack for predicting musical trends (they were the first to rap over electrocrunk beats). This remix is quite simply amazing: Teki preaching over one of the best songs of last year.

11:03
David Guetta ft Kid Cudi- Memories (Bingo Players remix)
VS
David Guetta ft Kid Cudi- Memories (Armand Van Helden vocal remix)

Same song, two different vibes. The Legend himself, Armand Van Helden, or the amazing Dutch duo, Bingo Players? Personally, I prefer the Bingo Players one. It fits the vibe of the lyrics and is a perfect early morning sing-a-long song to play in a club. Which one do you prefer? Let us know in the comments.

11:09
Sneaky Sound System- It's not my problem (Thin White Duke remix)

This came out last year, but it got almost no blog buzz, from what I can remember. That's a damn shame, because it is a fantastic remix. Melodic, moody and euphoric, this is the type of remix that Thin White Duke (a.k.a Jacques Lu Cont, a.k.a Les Rhythmes Digitales, a.k.a Man with Guitar, a.k.a extremely popular and prolific producer Stuart Price, who has produced for Madonna, Gwen Stefani, the Killers, etc) excels at. It kind of reminds me of his nigh-perfect remix of that Royksopp song that came out a few years ago.

11:15
Sean Roman- Phone Call

Amazing new talent out of Ontario. Big Things will happen in 2010, croyez-moi. Haunting dance music with a really solid groove.

11:19
Slim Thug ft Young Jeezy- Diamonds (DJ Ayres & Winslow Turner Porter III remix)

Heh. Who says I don't post rap? This is the best version of this song, hands down.

11:23
Malajube- Etienne D'Aout (La Mort)

Hometown heroes Malajube deserve all the critical acclaim that they get. If you haven't heard of them, this song is perhaps not the best introduction, but it is my favorite. I've heard their last two albums, and they are modern rock classics in my book, especially Trompe-l'Oeil. You'd really be missing out if you ignored this incredibly talented Montreal band that still only sings in French despite the fact that they tour worldwide. Support Quebec talent!

11:27
Aloe Blacc- I Need a Dollar

I'm getting a Gil Scott-Heron vibe from this, for some reason. Aloe Blacc is the past, present and future. Get familiar, bitches. Soul that trascends genres. Off of the brand new DJ Green Latern mixtape called 'How To Make It In America'. (Listen here!)
