Worth-EEE and MEEEEEEEEE

Ziggy here again, propping BigBabyWheezus up on his broad, rippling shoulders.
I did a fucking amazing mix a few days ago that will be posted at some point this week, i just need to do a slight edit at the end of it and it shall be upped.
I've been listening to a combination of Dennis Wilson, Brodinski and the subject of todays post, Worthy.

I just downloaded his latest mix, in fact it is the first mix i have by him, and it is predictably awesome. Kind of a mix of more chilled tech-house and his usual madcap wonky fare, it is all kinds of good and an easy choice to recommend. It is called the 'stationary grape' mix and its available for download on the anabatic records website here

Seeing as i spent a day procrastinating and trying to get a crobat, the mix is now edited and ready. I am extremely happy with it as the previous expletive shows, and from now on it will probably be my calling card. until i get bored of all the songs and catch up with wobzin in teknikal ability that is.

i heard she broke your heart, again

I just heard the latest remix by Kris Menace, and was honestly so impressed i decided that i needed to post it immediately along with an attempt at an explanation as to its greatness.
For a long time i have been very much 'eh' when it came to kris menace. he seemed to do it a lot of remixes, and along with lifelike, braxe and falke and the remaining french touch mafia slowly drifted into the maximalist synth led 'blog house' realm. Just type Lifelike in on hype machine and you'll catch my drift.
But a lot of these remixes were tired twists on an obvious formula, endless reminisces of 'Lumberjack' and 'Discopolis' via remixes of wet behind the ears producers so eager for the name recognition that these stalwarts brought with them that they would happily accept something that sounded well below average.
BUT.
I am very pleased to say that Kris Menace, with his latest remix, has perfected his sound, and found the yearning voice that slots together perfectly with his spiralling french touch synths and makes them sound real, rather than tawdry imitations. The song packs an emotional punch, yet remains well produced enough for most dancefloors.

The track in question is the Kris Menace remix of Metronomy's Heartbreaker, and it is fucking amazing. I kind of needed to swear to balance out all the verbosity.
Enjoy

Versatility and Flexibility

Following fast on the heels of yesterdays DJ Sneak blog link, we have another, from a very different type of dj/producer, DJ Gilb'R, one half of Chateau Flight with I:Cube.

He has just done a promotional mix for Versatile records, which is as fantastic as you would expect from the guy who mixed Body Language 5, and who is also responsible for some heavyweight remixes for the likes of Poni Hoax and Atjazz. The Atjazz remix in particular is truly astonishing, and is one of my favourite ever songs. Its more of a song than a 'track', and that is to its great credit.

It's so good that i feel wrong posting it. It's on Beatport, go nuts.

However, i will post the link to the Versatile Records Blog page with the 2008 promotional mix by Gilb'R. Be sure to check out the rest of the blog as last time i checked there were mixes and remixes by all the regular Versatile guys, as well as Prins Thomas et al.

Hidden Jewels & Dachschund's

I'm currently enjoying the twin peaks of good boompty house music and its 'polar' opposite, crystalline electro pop that yearns with dark thoughts and deeper emotion. I just did a post on DJ Sneak and his club mixes, so now i turn my ever roving attention to a band called Nite Jewels, who i discovered just last week on the fabulous blog keytars and violins. They have a sweet sadness to them that i find helpful, especially when winter seems to be here already and autumn didnt seem to happen.
This song is called 'What Did He Say', and its really good.
Nite Jewels- What Did He Say yousendit zshare

I'd also like to add that i am exceptionally jealous of the artwork on the Keytars and Violins blog. It's really something else.

BONUS
I'm also going to post a remix of one of my favourite recent tracks, TG's (AKA Tim Green) 'Mr Dry'. The remix is by someone i've never heard of before, Dachschund, but his work on this track is very impressive. The 'Mr Dry remix EP' is out now on Trapez Records, and available via phonica and beatport

Sneakers for Sneakin'

Apologies to our millions, and i do mean MILLIONS of fans, but there have been some heavy problems going on with the site, including my last post gwannin' postal and disappearing. Unsure at the moment what caused this problem, hopefully it will prove to be a blip, with regular scheduled programming appearing soon.

This morning i found myself checking DJ Sneak's blog after there was a random link to it from the informative review site resident advisor . Not only did it have a bad ass picture of Cap'n Sneak's birthday cake (two decks yo!), but he has posted yousendit links to all of his most recent dj sets, as well as a set by old skool house favourite and current renaissance man Derrick Carter. This is pretty damn cool in my opinion, and by the size of the files i'd guess they were pretty good quality too. Check out Sneak's blog, and those afforementioned mixes HERE

everyone's waiting

arcade fire - cold wind yousendit zshare

this is a song from the fifth season of six feet under that i finished watching last night. its a good track that suits the series really well. it has a kind of sweet sadness to it that plays well with the character of nate in particular. i highly recommend both the band and the show.

this was a longer post, but this is the fourth time iv written it and to be honest, typing out variations on the same words this many times kind of saps them of their original impact. ah well.

Last Week

Every monday from now on, i will post a selection a tracks that i have recently enjoyed. They will mainly be new-ish tracks but i will post old favourites if thats what I'm feeling at the minute. Don't forget to buy the tracks if you like them!

Mo' Hookerz, Mo' Blo'

New fire from San Francisco, a great remix of a great original track. We featured Hookerz N Blow on BigBabyWheezus a while back, with their ridiculously inventive mash up 'Blow the Whistler'.
It's hard to believe that this is only the second production that they've done. It's well worth checking out, as this Hookerz N Blow 'Short Bus Acid mix' manages to do what none of the other remixes of this track have done; put a fresh and twist on a great record.
Thanks a lot for the heads up guys

Martin Brothers - Dum (Hookerz N Blow Short Bus Acid remix)

Big Boss Sez Make It Rain (In the Gunshine State)

Big Boss, Rick Ross.

He is the man. I've been meaning to do a bad ass Ricky Ross post for time but i kept listenin to tech house bangers and so it got forgotten. But i was in the mood for towering Rick Ross joints all day at work so i got in, had a burn with Ross and got in the mood in a big way.

Look at his monstrous gut and comical rick ross face medallion. He is one of a kind, and im consistently amazed by how fucking BAD he is at rapping. He is just not good. But he has cadence, swagger, and constant name checkin' down, so he's everywhere. And I for one am happy with this situation. He's just uplifting in a dumb kinda way, and because he's on Def Jam and makes big money he gets all the sickest beats around, which is of course something he reminds us of constantly.
I'm gonna post two Rick Ross tunes and a DJ Khaled presents... style remix of Fat Joe which is kind of old now but is still illy. Westwood played it last week haha.

'Money makes me come' featuring some Trina wannabee called Ebony Love is presumably the new single, and has an amazing beat. Probably the best track off his latest album, and possibly even the best since 'Hustlin''. Again played by Westwood last week. I'm pretty certain that without Rick Ross and Lil Wayne Westwoods show would last about fifteen minutes
http://www.zshare.net/download/50963256ba4e14bf/
'Shot to the Heart' uses an old 80s sample and sounds ridiculously cheesy the first time you hear it, but its so catchy, and the fact that it knows how cheesy it is makes it okay. Kind of a guilty pleasure though. I think it was off an old mixtape, most likely one of those Khaled or DJ Drama ones where the 'DJs' don't do anything other than shout their names over the start of the tracks.
http://www.zshare.net/audio/509632288224fbc8/
The Fat Joe track is 'Make it Rain (remix)', which features a veritable roll call of rappers, including R Kelly (who isnt really a rapper but he sings the hook, kinda like T Pains seedy uncle), Fat Joe (obviously), Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, T.I., DJ Khaled yelling a lot, Baby AKA Birdman AKA Lil Wayne's 'Daddy', and some random called Ace Mack. Its so good. Particularly of note are the *constant* references to the Rihanna song Umbrella, which came out like a month before this track.
http://www.zshare.net/audio/5096332402106994/

This is the track that made me realise how fucking amazing Lil Wayne is, and how comically ahead of almost EVERYONE he is. His verse is just phenomenal. I'm seriously running out of adjectives to describe this guy.

'Its young money and we on like the television, the weather channel, but i do not broadcast, i throw up more cash, and change the forecast. Your boyfriend is lame, i make it rain on ya', he never make it rain, like southern california, wheres your umbrella, now get ya rain coat, baby i make it flood, now you gown need a boat'

Obviously it flows better in verse than on the page, so check it out. More Lil' Wayne soon, seeing as he gave the blog its name he deserves his props.

Woblitzer Jukebox

New 'Bombers' mix from myself, Eccle came up with the name Tech House Bombers for the duo of me and Wobzin in his latest poster series, which is amazing as you can see. I don't personally see the resemblence but there you go. Awesome work.

Im pretty happy with this mix seeing as i just came up with it on a whim, i was just about to have a bit of a bash and i thought fuck it ill record it; and it went well. Especially seeing as a fair few of these are new tunes iv only just got into.

Tracklisting

Catz N Dogz- SF

Gui Borrato- Golden Axe

Trentemoller- Serenetti (Maetrik Bass Rework)

Lee Jones- Aria (Tiger Stripes remix)

Also a bit of random love for the Mothership label, with a remix from the labels first vinyl release from 2007 i believe, as well as a slower Catz N Dogz track from their new album. The Italoboyz's track is called Viktor Casanova, with Lee Curtiss on the remix tip. Catz N Dogz' track is called SF and is a peach. It starts off my new mix in style. Sty-EL.

Lambs Anger

Yes thats right kids. Oizo's new LP, Lambs Anger, has created a lot of hype around the net and especially here at BBWI, all anticipating that November 17th release date. I was talking to louis the other day about how there is desperate need for some new Oizo brilliance to reminisce the good times that "Half An Enit" gave us in 2006, and i have to say this is just what i wanted to hear from Mr. Oizo. Pure Brilliance. There is no one else out there like this mad French producer. I know how many of you there are that cant wait for this highly anticipated album, so heres a moderate quality taster of what to expect.

Supposedly I havent done a post in about 2 months or something now.
So i thought id do one, (Ziggy forced me) I havent got much to write home about, Last night was Kissy sell out LIVE!! :/ at The Royal in Derby. I wanted to go because Derby is actually getting abit of a scene, finally. Not being a massive fan of kissy or his remixes, the idea of a 'live' set is not very appealing, but I was game for the 5hrs of music that would of been played. As you can guess by now, I didnt go.

Theres some pretty big names coming to Derby in the next 2 months;

- Chris lake ( I am not missing this one )
- Stanton Warriors
- Nic Fancuilli
- Simon patterson / John O'Bir
- The Presets


Its not crazy big names, but for derby its a step up from old hardhouse djs and ex ibiza funky house djs.

In other news, Worthy & Drop the lime will be killin' it tonight at Nottinghams very own Stealth, Ziggys at work till 10 and im not sure if hes game but it's a pretty good lineup so who knows!

I got the chance to see deadmau5 play at hard to find records in birmingham this time last week, he played a 2 hour set with pioneer cdj's + his laptop set up.
Deadmau5' set was pretty electro based, not really progahau5 trance crowdpleasers,
for saying It was free, I was a meter away and he wore his mau5 head...it was a good day.



Just downloaded the new marcel woods compliation, almost excited.

Big Baby Wheezus @ Bar 15, Thursday 23rd October

Two weeks already? Super-Crazy. Anyway, its a good way to spend a thursday night, like kickin it with a little extended family of beautiful people. Well, thats the impression i get anyway. Should be some good music, good dancin', good drinks etc etc. I think im gonna record a new mix next week, but i think we need to start linkin up with the mythical hype machine before i do the next one. Keep them special and all that.

Anyway, im sure everyone remembers a few weeks ago when i was gushing over Reboot and his productions; now its time for fellow 'new hot producer' Johnny D. Well, actually, i don't want to post 'Orbitalife' because its got way too much love from everyone, and you can hear it on practically every mix cd released in the last three months from Luciano to Mathias Tanzmann. However, this Delete (AKA Sergio Munoz) remix of 'Soleil' is really tasty in a mid paced house-y kind of way so i thought i'd put it up.

ps. when i was searching for pictures of the Johnny D 'Soleil' ep i found this humorous picture and wanted to share. Hearty laughter at the 'Magda make the tea' mug.

hookerz, blow and top ten trakz

hey team
apologies for the lack of posting. i went through a week of not listening to any music apart from Calexico's 'Garden Ruin' album and then i blew up my left speaker yesterday. So its back to the old headphones for a few days until i find my toolbox and take it to pieces and find out whats come loose or whatever.
Before i come to 'that music that makes people jerk around on dancefloorz', it has to be said that Garden Ruin is one of the best albums ive ever heard. And i listen to too much music. Its the real deal people. It needs to be bought. And iv just checked and its like 6 bo on http://www.amazon.co.uk/. good stuff.

On to Hookerz N Blow. No, not just a fun way to spend an evening, they are also a kick ass new producers from San Fran, the home of Dirtybird and all the bad ass bass producers like the Martin Brothers, Claude & Worthy to name just a few. Basically i first heard of these guys when they featured in Claude VonStroke's Mixmag top ten about five months ago or so, with the very track that im about to post.
Its kind of a mash up, kind of a remix of The Whistler. Before the collective groans at a) it being a mash up and b) it being a mash up of an old/overplayed track, just give it a listen.
Claude opened with it when i saw him play at the Dirtybird label party in London in July, and its sick as fuck. It features Too $hort for one, and DJ Assault for another, and its well produced and sounds bad ass. The guys also have a track on the new mix Riton did for this months Mixmag, the full title of which is 'The Martin Brothers- Dum (Hookerz N Blow Short Bus Acid remix)' and is no where to be found on the web or anywhere else. I hope they do some kind of dirtybird EP soon as itll go off. HIGHLY recommended.

Other Tings
The resurrection of Tocadisco is quite amazing really, seeing as David Guetta pretty much killed his credibility in one fell swoop with that 'Love Dont Let Me Go' track a while ago. Plus he only got paid like £500 for that remix when Guetta made a shitload. Anyway his recent stuff since Shrine has been really good, in particular his remix of Dirty South's 'The End' and his latest mix of the Sultan track 'Protection'. Good tech with high end production = bomb. The Dirty South mix has ended my last few sets, and manages to get away with using a cheeky Doors sample and not being shit. Impressive.

Hail to the King

Khan that is!

not that khan!

Been as the other three blogeurs have got hip hop/electronic music pretty much pinned down i thought that i'd concentrate on novelty tracks and guitar based stuff.

It struck me as being a bit wierd that this track from King Kahn is missing from the hype machine, i mean this guy balls to the wall rocks. If you can find his new album then go out in your ford mondeo right now or get the bus and buy it. it rules.

The track i am actually gonna post up is from a split LP put out with the dirtbombs, no diss on the dirtbombs but they feel a bit killer/filler. whereas the King Khan tracks are 100% pure fried gold on toast. Take a trip mite be the best of them all, its got a great party vibe and makes me wanna get smashed on tequila! i love anything that goes 'YEAAH YEAAHH YEAAHHH' or naaaa naa naaaaa or any kind of three noise nonsense (i even love CHK CHK CHK/!!!) and this track is one of the best 3 noise soings. Three is a special number, three wise men, holy trinity, three musketeers, 3 (good) star wars films, 3 little pigs, 3 men and a baby, the list of good three based things is literally endless, okay heres the song (right click and save as):

King Khan - Take a Trip

Also like to give big props to the notorious Z.I.G. and louis who had to fill in for wob at the BBWI presents nite which was a resounding success! good times TM

Ziggy and Wobzin @ Bar XV 09/10/08

Myself and the enigma that is Wobzin are bringing Big Baby Wheezus to Bar 15 (or XV if like me your prefer roman numerals) in Burton on Trent. Seeing as i have just spent the couple of hours advertising around town i thought it would be a waste not to mention it on the blog itself.
Although it is not the first time we have djayed at Bar XV but im seeing it as kind of like a new beginning now that we have the blog up and running and are on thursday nights, which should be a hell of a lot of fun.
Props to Feesh for the artwork, which are all technically collecters items seeing as there are only a few of each and that for the next night we will be working on some different original artwork. I am (literally) in his debt. Also thanks to the various small business owners who helped me out by letting me advertise the night in their shop windows etc. Even the sly afrodiziac who charged me for the priviledge. Anyway, enough about the night, it should be a good time for all involved and hopefully there will be many more Big Baby Wheezus events a-happenin' in the near future. Oh, and before i forget for a second time, it starts at 11pm and is on til 3am. So apologies for friday morning. There is also a facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=82869015626&ref=mf

I also want to talk about two producers, although one is actually two. How confusing i hear you say. Well, the two producers are Reboot and Two Armadillos. Two Armadillos is actually Giles Smith and King Roc, hence the two as one stuff. Reboot is a producer who until very recently i was almost completely in the dark about; he makes house thats so minimal in terms of structure, but contains the bump and groove of house as opposed to the...coldness of some minimal techno. I first heard his remix of Guy Gerber's Disorientation a few weeks ago and have to admit i didnt like it much at all. However, when i purchased his '20 cubans' remix of MANDY & Booka Shade's 'O Superman' this all kind of changed. I still don't know why i like it; it doesn't possess many of the characteristics of house/techno music that i like, but theres something so hypnotic and broken about it. I'd listen to it more, but its 14 minutes long and i don't have an ipod so im kinda screwed on that front. Reboot= Good.

Two Armadillos also = Good; but they are quite different. They make deep, warm house music that it almost seems a shame to dance to, its so nice you just want to wrap yourself in it and sit down. However, they are very far from chill out music, and there is a very good house groove to their music. I'm rambling and talking shit, so here's a new track by Two Armadillos called Hamlin, from the new Steve Bug 'Bugnology' cd, which in its unmixed form is like a treasure trove of deep house and techno. I think i prefer the track Nostalgia which is out now on Buzzin' Fly; but both are very good tracks and show that no matter what music they make, Smith and King Roc are exemplary producers

Bonus Two Armadillos, no bonus Reboot. Yet...

Oh yeah, and Style of Eye/Andy George is tonight at Stealth in Nottingham, and i for one will be there. Me, Louis, and Ken Wong.

Get HYPE

no new music from me today

well, at least not any that i am gonna e-share, i got the johnny flynn album and its okay but its 100% more the kind of thing my chick likes than me, same goes for noah and the whale, its what my chick digs so she has had both of those.  I'm a serial viva radio caner and recently its been more of the same in terms of what i have been enjoying, 'N.soul' and 'Get low' are prolly my two favourtie shows and i love whacking on an archived show and chillaxing in my room.

Heard this carole king track on the radio the other day and thought 'this is the shit i'm talking about', so i'll post it up here. much like darth vader, carole king has a black set of vocal chords but is white, go figure! She looks a lot like my morman ex housemate both facially and also in what she is wearing in this video (think princess leia in the ewok village).

The next thing i wanna talk about is a track by 'rare earth', the weather sucks ass round here at the minute making anyone who has got SAD feel shit, in fact all of us are getting starved of vitamin D at the moment and probably wishing it was sunny and happy.

anyway the point is that celebrate by rare earth is maybe the most uplifting song of all time (can you feel it by jackson 5 perhaps got a stake in here too, i aint sure please get in touch if you have any other suggestions). this track was made famous thanks to a sampling by beck (who my mate assures me is the coolest white guy currently alive, exsisting as a kind of anti-zuckerberg).  anyway, this track is bound to make you happy, is it just me or does the drummer/singer remind anyone else of kuato from total recall?

enough of that, the last thing that i 100% had to get of my chest is just how fucking excellent red bull cola is!  Jesus christ, this is the most crisp clean tasting soda(y) herby complex textured tasting can of pop i have ever drank, goodbye san pellegrino orange, i have a new love.  the whole consumer experience is fantastic, awesome packaging (the ring pull has a punched out bull shape rather than the crappy oval your oh so depressed by on lesser cans) and i am sure that the sound the can makes when you crack it open has been made better, some how amplified and crisp reflecting the great taste.  Point im making is, red bull cola hype train starts here.

goodbye from me.

Welcome to the Re-Up

welcome to the re-up, gang

basically this post is an excuse for several different things; to re post the second of my mix series that i did which i previously had uploaded on zippyshare (before i realised that they only last like two weeks before being removed), to post a few new/ish tracks im feelin', and to counteract the fact that my co contributers are currently sitting on their cocks and not posting. haha.

New mix i made yesterday. Gotta say that i love pretty much all the tracks on this mix. Heavy feel for Dubstep at the minute, so i couldn't resist dropping Rusko's 2NAQ after the long build from Danton Eeprom's remix of Grindhouse. Theres a few classics in there that still hold up over time such as, Rave D'Amour and Like A Pen. The Knife's, Like A Pen is one of the few tracks that sound awesome in a club and yet still you would comfortably enjoy sat in your living room. Enough bollocks.. heres the tracklist:


Booka Shade - Planetary
The Martin Brothers - Dum
DJ T - Rave D'Amou
Magic Johnson - Scanning For Viruses (Claude Vonstrokes Coffee On Your Motherboard)
Radio Slave - Grindhouse (Danton Eeprom Remix)
Rusko - 2 N A Q

Calming Disco Tunes & Pixie(s)

hey everyone, the blog is looking horribly sparse at the moment, so i thought id attempt to rectify that problem with a trio of new songs im enjoying at the moment as well as some general banter. All of these are good things, trust.

http://www.zshare.net/audio/1922107256bb1cd3/ Toby Tobias- A Close Shave (Prins Thomas Disko-Tek mix)

http://www.zshare.net/audio/19220466125aadd5/ Simon Baker- Plastik (Todd Terje' Turkatech mix)

Recently I've been mixing a lot of slower stuff, Terje and co. and also a lot of Innervisions, Ame and Dixon and above all Henrik Schwarz. I am now of the opinion that Henrik Schwarz is a genius. I'd heavily recommend Dixon's old Body Language mix (4?) and the Schwarz live album, both of which are available at www.phonicarecords.co.uk amongst other places. I started my most recent mix in this vein, which will be upped later today in a separate post.


Also i wanted to put up a bonus track by the Pixies, because my girlfriends pet rat who was called Pixie died last week and i was quite upset. No childhood pet deaths to soften the blow ysee. Anyway, you win from this situation because you get to listen to the Pixies greatest moment ever, again. Plus, Pixie was seriously the coolest rat ever, that dude from Ratatouille had nothin' on her.

Welcome to the Internet!

I got asked to post on the bbwi blog and i was all like:

'yeah man whatever'

so i am just gonna introduce myself, and say some of the generic garbage that you normally read in these kind of posts.  I dont really have a manifesto when it comes to music (my manifesto in life is 'any club you have to wear shoes to get into aint even worth petrol bombing') and i aint even really that fussed about genres or any of that bull, so i guess my posts will usually be a pastiche of completly divergent unrelated shit.

  This week I've been heavily baning the first track on the Panthers album on my iPod, it rocks so fucking hard.  It makes me want to dress like I'm in the warriors and be involved in some form of car chase.

Anyway, you can legally get it here from vice records: Goblin City
(you can also listen to the whole album)

the pic is from a sweet site called Hel-Looks, it essentially involves photographs of cooly dressed scandinavians i thought these two fitted the bill for the panthers track. its worth checking out if you have a thing for well dressed scandinavian chicks.

peas out (^_^)b

Mercury Ist Retrograde

not in the mood for long writing based post
three tracks and a bonus. Not much dance music in my mood at the moment. Seems to be a bit of everything else though. Modest Mouse, Tom Vek, Bloc Party, Led Zeppelin, King Crimson, Billy Talent, Nirvana. I think i enjoy the slightly organised chaos that certain of these bands represent.



Bloc Party- Mercury (from the new album, Intimacy)

UNKLE- Hold My Hand (Innervisions Orchestra remix)(Offered as a free download via www.residentadvisor.net)

Led Zeppelin- Babe Im Gonna Leave You (from Led Zeppelin I)

Nirvana - Negative Creep (from their debut album, Bleach)



I've actually been listening to In Utero as opposed to Bleach in the last few days but the In Utero cd is in my car and Negative Creep fulfils the credentials well enough and is a beast.

Final point, be sure to check out the video for 'Mercury', as i think it ties in incredibly well with the song, and has an awesomely tweaked post apocalpytical theme with some kind of Minotaur in it. Did i mention the Minotaur has some kind of claw hand? No? Well it does.

i dont want to sleep..

Two mixes in a month you say?
indeed, i bought some new phillips headphones for £30
so i was expecting good things after having some lower priced phillips ones,
i thought id give them a try out to see how they could handle the minimal sub bass
i think they passed the test.

So heres my second mix for august, i did this because;

1 - Im pretty bored
2 - I have an abundance of new music
3 - Sample the headphones

Heres the tracklist;

Louis lil' lugger mix

fabrizio maurizi - my imaginary friend
prompt - toucan
nico diorio - shop (ahmet sendil remix)
seismal d. - komnat (original mix)
2020 soundsystem - psycho (burnski remix)
sasha - park it in the shade (dimitri nakov and gabes park it in the deep end dub)
steve angello & sebastian ingrosso - partouze (funkagenda remix)
jona - antipiano
noir - troya (original mix)
dj koze - I want to sleep (original mix)
mark knight & funkagenda - man with the red face original club remix

(http://www8.zippyshare.com/v/74882043/file.html)

I can gladly say there are no major mess ups :]

An old school classic song remixed 'laurent garnier - man with the red face (funkagenda & mark knight remix)' is my final track, I think its a good way to end with its good build ups and heavy jazz infulence.

Heres a live preformance of the song, well the original



I have to go now my planet needs me.

Louis :]

Ziggy Mix 02: Kleine Nachtmusik

hey there everyone, i said i'd post the new mix by the end of the week, and i got it done second time around. It was originally titled 'i am not worthy', purely because i love terrible puns and it featured a lot of worthy tracks. well, two. anyway i had to re do the mix because i listened back to it and there were two little fuck ups that pissed me off so much that it ruined the mix for me, so i re did it yesterday and probably changed like half the tracks. it still begins with the track that gives the mix its title, however, so i present to you all the second mix in my mix series for this blog, 'Kleine Nachtmusik'

tracklisting after the jump

Doing the Unstuck

Slight change of course today, folks.
At the moment my musical antenna is split almost comically in three directions between 'dance music' like Worthy, The Cure and Lil Wayne's new album, 'Tha Carter III'.
Such divisions and split loyalties have become commonplace in music in the last few years, as the last remaining genre barriers have not so much been torn down as they have simply melted away, with bordering musical styles bleeding into one another. However, my musical taste usually goes in waves. Gamblor is the same if not worse. One week ill be bouncin' like a fool to Rick Ross and Tay Dizm and all that shit. Next week ill be praising Tanzmann and the Moon Harbour bunch and be deep into minimal/deep house. Then i have a bad day and its all indie melancholy. My first love, if you will.
BUT
This week i have been listening to two albums almost constantly. The afforementioned Carter III, and the 1992 album from The Cure, 'Wish'. Suprisingly, both albums go equally well with the art of making scrambled eggs. Weird. Anyway, Lil Wayne is in my opinion the saviour of hip hop. He might not be the best rapper alive like he claims almost constantly (not so much on the new album, but his 2007 mixtapes were full of references to this), but i think he combines lyrical ability, great production and tunes, and a fucking sense of humour better than anyone else around. He pretty much dwarfs everyone right now in terms of well roundedness. Theres an amazing mix of styles and ideas on his new album, from bangers like 'a mili' to the intensity of opener '3 peat'; from beautiful odes to his ruined city (new orleans) on 'tie my hands' to sick as fuck tunes like 'You aint got nuthin'. The latter track features an amazing verse by Fabolous as well.

'Fuck gettin yo ride pimped, you'll get hog tied bitch, have you in the trunk curled up like fried shrimp'

i might be paraphrasin' but it sounds immense. Harsh, but thats the point, mayn.

Anyway, its the don. I've also been listening to the Cure, a band that everyone knows but that im pretty sure not enough people worship. Because honest to god, this album ive been listening to, Wish, is actually a work of art. Which is hard for a pop album to be. Not pop like POP, but just really accessible in places. I mean, its got Friday I'm in Love on it, which is one of the happiest most uplifting songs ever recorded on it, but the track the precedes it on the album is actually even better. Its called Doing the Unstuck, and it gave this post its name, as well as Black Kids their career. Well maybe thats a bit harsh, but from what ive heard of them they mine a heavy seam of Cure-ness. But yeah i was a bit down last week at one point, and this song came on. Kind of defined this summer for me in a really good way. Soon i was dancing in my boxers. Good job no one was home.

Anyway im gonna get to the actual posting now.

Lil Wayne featuring Fabolous and Juelz Santana- You Ain't Got Nuthin
http://www8.zippyshare.com/v/62435830/file.html
The Cure- Doing the Unstuck

Plus, my new 'I Am Not Worthy' mix will be done by the end of the week and ill post it asap.

Buzzin Fly'

Today I'm in a bit of a techy mood, and i thought i really should post something seeing as its been well over a week since any of us did a post.
I've mostly been listening to tracks from the latest Buzzin Fly compilation, '5 Golden Years in the Wilderness'. Which is well worth a purchase, i think its like nine pounds on amazon for three unmixed cds of pure housey goodness, with amazing tracks from Justin Martin, Ben Watt (The Label Boss of Buzzin' Fly), Radio Slave's epic remix of Mlle Caro and Franck Garcia's 'Dead Souls'. The Third cd is entitled 'Forward' and features lots of new stuff that the label is/will be releasing such as Gavin Herhily's 'Give Me A Funf' and Stimming's 'Kleine Nachtmusik'.
I never really heard much from the label until i bought this cd on a whim last week, with only the Charles Webster remix of Justin Martin's 'The Sad Piano' really being known to me (It featured on M.A.N.D.Y's At the Controls cd, which is still one of the greatest mix compilations i have ever heard). But the songs in this collection veer from deep, soulful house that works equally well in the club as it does when its just there in the background, to jacking bumpy stuff like Darkmountaingroup's 'Lose Control'.
The whole package is completed by the artwork and design of the compilation, which is beautifully presented like the vinyl 12"s that Buzzin' Fly put out. I think it was the artwork that made me decide to buy the compilation, because its kinda nice to have cd based stuff be as obviously cared for as the vinyl equivalent. Too many cd's just look like they were bashed together in five minutes, and it makes it that much easier to just download some of the tracks or whatever if it seems like no care has gone into the work.
Anyway this is getting to be a bit too much of a sales pitch for my liking but anyway, i would highly recommend picking up this compilation, or, if you prefer mixes to unmixed stuff, there are four previous Buzzin Fly compilations that are mixed and all are available on amazon or whatever.

I'm also going to post one of the tracks from the first cd which contains the older tracks, as i wouldn't want to post something that hasn't been released yet or anything. It's the track i mentioned previously, Charles Webster's remix of Justin Martin's 'The Sad Piano'

Death From Above

Two posts today? Madness.

Anyway, rather than tell you something about the usual suspects, i wanted to take an ever so slight detour by talking about my favourite record label, DFA.

I loved the rapture, and the first time i saw them at my second ever gig in January 04, they were amazing. I became a bit of a mad fan, and got their first album, and both their EPs, and i think i spent like 16 quid on the Mirror EP from hmv. Which is kind of a lot for like six tracks. They are all awesome, however so i wasnt too upset about that.

My frantic Rapture collecting led me to the DFA Compilation 2 which contained an old Rapture track called Alabama Sunshine, which kicks total ass also. This DFA mix started my four year love affair with this awesome label, which kind of sagged for a while after they put out the amazing Gavin and Delia album which contained four songs that were all like 10 minute + Synth workouts. So Good.

http://www.dfarecords.com/

But now, with the release of the new Syclops album 'I've got my eye on you' and of course the Hercules and Love Affair cd that i somehow dont own yet plus cool as fuck releases from new boys Holy Ghost, Free Blood and others, it seems this label is back with a vengeance.

I will eventually try and get around to posting the odd track from DFA, but to be honest, they are well known enough for them to get by without a ton of promotional tracks, and most of the magic of these releases is probably lost with a ton of mp3s.

http://www.beatsinspace.net/ is a website ran by Tim Sweeney, the third man and second Tim in the DFA machine. On this site you can subscribe to the Beats in Space podcasts which i have been checking out recently and are AWESOME.

I was going to post an old Syclops track, but as i heard the amazing Adventures Close To Home remix of 'Never Hear Surf Music Again' by Free Blood did not make it to the final vinyl release (i believe it was a remix by some disco dudes called Barfly that did make it) i think i shall post it instead.

Tuesday means its simpsons time

Yeah i decided when we started this blog that it wasn't gonna be all mixes and white hot XXXclusives. Also want to pour my love on something that has already been mentioned so many times that its practically engrained into our veins. Or something similarly weird.




I am talking about The Simpsons, of course.




Basically all three of us are ridiculous Simpsons fans. I think i am not alone in saying that whenever we get in from work with nothing to do the Simpsons dvds are put on while we fall asleep. We also constantly quote from this, the greatest tv show ever made, all the time.




As i have been watching the 'Mom and Pop Art' episode from season 10, im going to go with an underrated quote from everyones favorite bed wetting nerd, Millhouse, AKA Thrillhouse.




'Oh, I hate these flood pants'

(water from homer flooding springfield rushes into his bedroom)
'Hey, theyre working!'
'My feet are soaked, but my cups are bone dry.

Everythings coming up Millhouse!'

Season 10 Episode 19
Gotta say though, Season 10 is where it all started going slowly downhill

Its still amazing though. Unlike family guy. Ahem.

(This is the first of two posts today. The other one with concern my current love for DFA records, Tim Sweeney and a new band called Free Blood)

I'd like to have a zany name, but i never have or probably ever will
Theres not much you can do with my name really (should of mentioned my name is Louis)
I had the name 'elembryo' given on rare ocassions
But do like the name 'gamblor' or 'poppen fresh'
Although they have no resemblance to me
I'll wait to hear ziggys response to them names...

Anyway my friend mitch has made this video / song;
hit that shit up.

http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=Gvule5zEc_8

Anyway at the minute i have no lust of new electronic music
I need a good night out to make me remember why i love dance music
So until then, i wont be posting any mixes up
just ramblings & strange things.

cheers.

Louis (gamblor / poppen fresh)

welcome, to the world of tomorrow

Hey people, first post time on the new blog from the three ket-house-teers. Whilst we believe there are some truly great blogs out there, such as the mighty fluokids and my personal favourite, nosebloodelectro, there are far too many blogs that have got caught in the lazy trap of posting the same sub par blog stuff over and over again. No, we don't want the latest kid cudi outtake where he's freestylin' about his momma on youtube. No, we don't want a remix of D.A.N.C.E by some LA producer with no vowels in his name. im sure you see where we're going with this.

But blogs can be a great resource both for promotion and for opening peoples eyes with regards to amazing producers and dj's that often get forgotten about when the next big flavor of the month rolls through.

We are going to take a slightly different approach to this than many of the other blogs we see. Each of us is going to post a mix every two weeks or so, and also post one track from that mix that we really like and want to share with all of y'all. The three of us will keep all of our individual mixes posted and i will try and organise them into three separate sections so that its easy to keep track of where our personal tastes are headed and to see which tracks we post.

There will be more posts coming in, with probably a couple a week, and we'll soon introduce segments about particular nights out that are coming up and the like.

First things first, heres the first mix for BigBabyWheezus, from myself.
