This track in particular has a very French feel to it, dare I say reminiscent of Daft Punk, but a little more loungey (type house).

I am really diggin' on a few of their remixes, namely the Bell Remix, tons of funk and very hype.

But yeah, the original track is done by <a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://www.myspace.com/clubfeetband">clubfeet</a> from Victoria, Australia and its pretty catchy and interesting, but kinda mellow. The remix, however, is really discoed out, with some splatters of house and added synth that echoes so perfectly your brain will melt (trust me you can recover).<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?j1yr1i2j52e">clubfeet - Teenage Suicide (Eli Escobar Remix)</a><br /></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mGR-zNRvwZI/SgtddNQZPUI/AAAAAAAAAC0/Ar132eUIMIs/s1600-h/m_57d8869caf2548eebd0dbd62024e6f20.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 170px; height: 154px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mGR-zNRvwZI/SgtddNQZPUI/AAAAAAAAAC0/Ar132eUIMIs/s320/m_57d8869caf2548eebd0dbd62024e6f20.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5335460939906497858" border="0" /></a>The other gem of the week, as they both shall be called (sounds kinda epic/corny at the same time), is another remix by a fellow from High Wycombe in the UK, <a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://www.myspace.com/foamo">foamo</a> is his name, and he has been garnering tons of attention over the last couple months and rightly so.

Although I have been out of the 317 loop for a bit I still got a couple gems that will vindicate my absence. School is finished for now, work and the summer semester are about to begin, which I have mixed feelings about but I am sure I will get over them. Anyways enough of the chitter chatter, it is time to pony up and get this show on the road.</span></div><div align="center"><br /><span style="font-size:100%;">First off, we got this nuck Feadz from France (hit up his <a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://www.myspace.com/feadz">MySpace</a></span><span style="font-size:100%;"> to check out some sample tracks from his new album) doing some killer stuff. Maybe I am late to the game but I haven’t come across this guy before so check these bad boys out and show him some love. These tracks have a real midnight sound to them. I don’t really know any other way to describe it. They have sort of an end-of-the-night feel in which all you want is to go out strong and split some hardwood before it is time to drag your ass home. Anyways, I yammer, here are the tracks for you to enjoy (especially the Numanoid track).<br /><br /></span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;"></span> </div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;"></span></div><span style="font-size:85%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331448089323986786" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 320px; height: 213px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_A8wSMN01wCk/Sf0byj6XX2I/AAAAAAAAAFU/Zj6CaUCRemU/s320/Feadz.jpg" border="0" /><a style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?odfjwzmyurj"><br /></a></span><div align="center"><a style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?odfjwzmyurj"><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);font-size:100%;" >Feadz – Edwrecker</span></a><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?zwyjzyuygkh">Feadz – Numanoid</a></span><span style="font-size:100%;"> </span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;">Man I wasn’t going to throw up this these remixes but I cannot resist now after listening to them again.

The beautiful sound of the Fender Rhodes electric piano, coupled with the thick repeating fretless bass line, and scantily clad drum line … dope. Wait for it, yea … there are horns. This track defines slower burner for me. Dynamically, this track doesn’t go too far off course, coming back to that original motif again and again, but wow ladies and gentlemen, you can’t ask for more. This is soul/jazz at some of its instrumental fineness without even diverging to far from the original lick. I am sure this track has been sampled before, I have haven’t heard the tune but please let me know if you have come across it. To be honest, it is 3 in the morning and I have had this track on repeat for about 20 minutes now, I can’t over it. When that interlude comes up wait for the drum fill, and then the horns will take over the bass line just for a second, ugh just kills me. Smooth, smooth, smooth, this is baby making music. Please enjoy this one; I don’t think I will come across one like this for some time.</span></div><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5331454449812971682" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; width: 156px; height: 207px; text-align: center;" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_A8wSMN01wCk/Sf0hkylHIKI/AAAAAAAAAFs/t_d-Vxkqvug/s320/530515989b0b80d0a_156.jpg" border="0" /></span> <div align="center"></div><div style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" align="center"><a style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?flyn0ngdwye">Frank Pleyer - Sally</a><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?flyn0ngdwye"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span></a></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:100%;"><br /></span><span style="font-size:100%;">If you dig on the Pleyer track, peep this one too … not as smooth but has got a lovely bass line and some playful piano.

This week, thanks to some creative criticism on the part of some of our readers (peace to ehmos), I have decided to try out a new format for my posts - less typing and a max. of 5 tracks per post.<br /><br />Personally, this last week has been beyond gnarly and it only seems to be getting crazier. As such, the tracks for this week's post had to reflect the tip I've been on, 'cuz "straight up shit is real and any day could be your last in the jungle..."(Nas - "Represent"). I hate to be pessimistic and blunt, but I'm not trying to get down on you, I'm trying to light a fire under you; <span style="font-style: italic;">carpe</span> fuckin' <span style="font-style: italic;">diem</span> yo! And to prove my intentions are righteous I brought along some fresh new tracks to share...<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mGR-zNRvwZI/Sfoc9QHxCtI/AAAAAAAAACc/6ooFAd0nGxY/s1600-h/2narzht.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 186px; height: 175px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mGR-zNRvwZI/Sfoc9QHxCtI/AAAAAAAAACc/6ooFAd0nGxY/s320/2narzht.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330604947571542738" border="0" /></a><br />First up is an awesome new DJ out of Montreal - represent!- by the name of <a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://www.myspace.com/legitproductions">Kid Legit</a>. And, suffice to say, the track I have here, a remix by the boy/man himself, proves its not just a clever name. Mad shout outs to <a href="http://www.myspace.com/gnartyparly">Gnarty Parly</a> for introducing me to this banger, which is more of a fuckin' anthem, or at least it should be and its all madness from about 20 sec. in when the crazy synth loop drops. It is so hype, never mind the catastrophic build-up at the mid-way mark; straight dope, for serious...<br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?nyyj4zow5qx">Love thy Brother - Get Your Back Up (Kid Legit Remix)</a><br /><br />Next up, another remix by a local favourite, (formally DJ) <a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://www.myspace.com/djbarletta">Barletta</a>. Yeah, we love Barletta here at 317 and this track takes my love, for one half of <a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://www.myspace.com/mansiondj">Mansion</a>, to the next level with what seems to be a move towards a more disco-ish type electro-house vibe. Just a little less aggressive then the usual Barletta banger, but nonetheless, the lack of grimmeness (which is a good thing) is made up for amplified disco synth loops and the result: this is one of the illest Barletta remixes that has ever graced my ears. I have mad faith in this one, so get your dl on and pump up the volume...<br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?fmuwnyxc4j5">Meech - Bottome of the Fourth (Barletta Remix)</a><br /><br />Number three, one of the craziest remixes I have come across in a while and its up there with the likes of Justice remixing Lenny Kravitz or U2, but way better. So yeah, this one is a single off of U2's newest album, which is coming out super soon, if it hasn't already. Not that I have anything against Bono or the rest of U2, but to be brutally honest, after <span style="font-style: italic;">the Joshua Tree</span>, shit got kinda weak.

Think hype house-disco, with some clean, classy and smooth loops, echoed with amazing breaks that keep you anticipating more magic. If you heard the original, which if you haven't you really should think about doing, you may agree that this remix is a true change of pace, but one that is very fucking fresh and compliments Harris' own dope style. Dare I say, epic...<br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?mmrnznujiky">Calvin Harris - Can You See the Light (Deadmau5 Remix)</a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mGR-zNRvwZI/SfodW6kK9tI/AAAAAAAAACk/DQceR0M2DwQ/s1600-h/s12069011210_941236_1587.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 141px; height: 162px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mGR-zNRvwZI/SfodW6kK9tI/AAAAAAAAACk/DQceR0M2DwQ/s320/s12069011210_941236_1587.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330605388461700818" border="0" /></a><br />Lately I seem to have been on a little bit of a French tip and lets be honest, les Francais represent hard, seemingly in any genre of music, but oh how they love to dance and this last track is no exception; straight heat/hot to def. <a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://www.myspace.com/ponyponyrunrun">Pony Pony Run Run</a>, the people responsible for this gourmet audio treat, seem to be ranging on the more disco and indie side of the electronic spectrum, with a heavy injection of funk - a.k.a. - its catchy as fuck.

Speaking for myself, I had major computer problems that forced some of my prized computer possessions to be deleted. One of my most prized losses was my beloved itunes play count. Who knew a seemingly pointless stat would create such an emotional loss and have a small impact on my life. Not only was it an interesting to view who was played the most in the recent and past few weeks on my computer, but it also proved to be a valuable sorting tool once i had committed a few hundred hours of streaming music through itunes over the past two years. Luckily I was able to save the music I cared about and the documents that were important. But still... may my old itunes play count <span style="font-style: italic;">r.i.p.</span><br /><br />Another problem we had came to us through mediafire- our database for hosting music. I apologize to anyone who felt the effects we did, obviously it still has some bugs that need to be sorted out. However, it's still not worth switching providers. Mediafire offers an extensive free program with an interface that is easy for users. Files shared with through other providers like zshare sometimes disable links over time to continue fast service. This makes it very hard to develop any form of archive of MP3s for people to download. Therefore, we will continue to keep using mediafire until a better option surfaces. Any link that is experiencing problems through mediashare we will try to correct using another free source such as zshare.<br /><br />Hopefully all the problems are behind us so we can move on.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JmLcai6YWcY/SfflYWMvXSI/AAAAAAAAATc/LTKt4Mqt53s/s1600-h/don.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_JmLcai6YWcY/SfflYWMvXSI/AAAAAAAAATc/LTKt4Mqt53s/s320/don.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5329980890454908194" border="0" /></a><br />That being said, I'm still behind in catching up among the activity sweeping the blogosphere.

These guys are great. They sound as if they just emerged from the old retro 80's scene where no one knew what to do with the lights and the new sounds, and simply perfected it. It's a bold statement but with one listen I was tossed back into my childhood reliving the precursor to the dance parties created by the sweet annual albums of Dance Mix 93, 94, and 95. I hope they bring you the same nostalgic feeling that hit me when I was first heard these two tracks.<br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" href="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?tw2twwdmkw4">Fear of Tigers - The Adventure of Pippi Longstump (Original)</a><br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" href="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?dyeezj2dywz">Fear of Tigers - The Rich Cry Too (Original)</a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JmLcai6YWcY/Se6pIXK3oJI/AAAAAAAAASY/OU3pFCJdR5k/s1600-h/sferro.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 229px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JmLcai6YWcY/Se6pIXK3oJI/AAAAAAAAASY/OU3pFCJdR5k/s320/sferro.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5327381370349527186" border="0" /></a><br />Fear of Tigers tossed up a lot of new great synth which naturally led me to <a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://www.myspace.com/ericsferro">Sferro</a>.

As such, I have been building on this post for way too long; each day I find some new dope tracks too add to the list, but its already huge! So here we go, and I apologize in advance. Also, there are minimal pics because I went crazy with song postage... word is bond!<br /><br />Number one - neighbours to the south, <a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://www.myspace.com/blacklightflashlight">Blacklight Flashlight</a> (If your down with hockey, go Blue Jackets!). In any event, these dudes keep it mad real and although I only have one track to share with you, I know we have had a post of a remix these guys did a little while back, which you can get to <a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://317electro.blogspot.com/2009/04/holla-to-scholarly.html">here</a>. So yeah this track is really funky with a great disco keyboard-synth vibe, add in some nice drums and you have a pretty radical tune. I am on the hunt for more Blacklight Flashlight, if their other stuff is like this, I can't wait. The goods:<br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?ffmiweyo5dn">Blacklight Flashlight - Dreaming In</a><br /><br />Numéro deux, and I apologize for the cliche remark, but this is a straight up French connection; 317 favourtite <a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://www.myspace.com/dothefunkybot">Breakbot</a> and fellow Frenchmen <a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://www.myspace.com/yuksek">Yuksek</a> together, drop the heat on this one. This track has been circling the blog world for a little while now, so out with the goods:<br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?wm0zytfyjdk"><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Yuksek - Extraball (Breakbot Remix)</span></a><br /><br />Next up, some super funky Brazilians known as <a href="http://www.myspace.com/thetwelves">the Twelves</a> (as if you hadn't heard!) combine with local heroes <a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://www.myspace.com/metric">Metric</a>. From Rio to Toronto, actually that is unfair, I know Metric is part Canadian, but I am unsure about which part, my bad. In any case this remix is money, these dudes know what they are doing and you should not be shy; partake in what the Twelves are ready to give you. Mad love:<br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?hyjnmjy5dtk">Metric - Help I'm Alive (the Twelves Remix)</a><br /><br />Moving right along, over the last month I have come across a couple tracks by the Torontonian known for funky electro - <a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://www.myspace.com/djhmway">Hemingway</a>. Apparently, not much is known of this elusive Canadian yet, although, word on the street is he is a mean DJ. Once again, my bad on the lack of info, but take a gamble if you're new to the name, this song was also remixed a while back by the Brazilians mentioned above. So here is a little Canadian-funk twist:<br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?ztmggqjifrn">the Virgins - Rich Girls (Hemingway Remix)</a><br /><br />Featured alongside Mr. Hemingway, fellow Torontonians (and Montrealers) -<span style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);"> </span><a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://www.myspace.com/dietzche">DVAS</a>. These dudes make sick ass disco house. I'm going to be brutally honest, these tracks are both awesome, but the first one is a gem, think more disco-ish Daft Punk (really?! Yes.). Amazing build-ups and great tripped out dance potential. Oh and <a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://www.myspace.com/symbolone">SymbolOne</a>, these guys are crazy good as well, and I've got a dope remix of theirs to share. And if their story is true as per their my space page - craziness! Hey!

A remix to this track has been featured here before on an older post which you can get to <a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://317electro.blogspot.com/2009/02/up-north-trip-let-me-begin-by-saying.html">here</a> (Broke One kills it). This time around, however, <a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://www.myspace.com/youthsound">Youth</a> has blessed the Elke track with his London vibes; his synth break down is straight up and down fucking fantastic, recognize! (I know that's aggressive, but I promise its awesome). Straight from the shores of the UK:<br /><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?kzizz2xw3vz"><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Elke - Blue Dream Lover (Youth Remix)</span></a><br /><br />Mates from Leeds represent hard on this track.

But to the same token, <a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://www.myspace.com/grummmusic">Grum</a> from Leeds lays down a super gnarly remix.

Post up in the comments section if you're diggin' on the tracks, we love to hear from you!<br /><br />P.s. I lied, one last track I promise. No info on this gem, but <a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://www.myspace.com/kennedy">Kennedy</a> kills it here; this is a great summer funk-disco jam that would sound killer out the window of your Ford Tempo, or at your house party.

Since we're nearing the end of the year for the student populous, exams are getting tight, papers even more strenuous, I decided to indulge with something a little more melodic and rhythmic with the intent to keep the sound real light. Meanderthals <span style="font-style: italic;">Desire Lines</span> fits this agenda. It combines dimensions from acoustic soft rock, underlying funk, with the great taste of some retro club jazz. Lately it has been helping me get through some long hours but it's an instrumental worth playing any hour of the day. Play it all the way through before deciding how you feel. The jazz fade-out is sexy. Oh and they are brand-spanking new making it even more worth the listen.<br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" href="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?z4jzxklt3jz">Meanderthals - Desire Lines</a><br /><br />Our friends from NY in <a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://www.myspace.com/officialgentlementhieves">Gentleman Thieves</a> hit us up with a new track that everyone should be hitting hard.

However, this new track has no sound issues (other then it sounding pretty damn good). The Crookers add in a little of their own flare but for the most part leave the backbone of the track untouched. I think this speaks to how solid Mujava's <span style="font-style: italic;">Township Funk</span> really kills it.

This remix of Chaz Jenkel's <span style="font-style: italic;">You're My Occupation</span> is electro-sensual. It's a mix of heavy bass combined with some fluid vibrant beats and some hard hitting throwback vocals. If you're a little confused, don't worry, it will all come together. It's a real treat for Monday mor.... afternoon.

This track is getting a lot of attention internationally, therefore it deserves to have a pit stop in Canada. Laurent Ash, aka Lifelike, has dropped some hella good stuff already on 317. It's interesting to note the surname change as we all knew him by Heinrich back in the day. Check the <a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://317electro.blogspot.com/2009/01/cut-copy-so-cosmic.html">post</a> for the old intel as well as another dope track in <span style="font-style: italic;">So Electric</span>.<br /><br />Anyway, most people are either going to love or hate the Lifelike rendition of <span style="font-style: italic;">My Secret Lover</span>. It's danceable, funked out, and mad catchy. On the other hand, the vocals can be hit or miss with most. I'm still in the air. I'm not sure if I would dig it without Lifelike making it real, real nice.<br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">The Private - My Secret Lover (Lifelike Remix)</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">DMCA rbr</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JmLcai6YWcY/SfI51rWSkPI/AAAAAAAAATE/VfrcTMfrZuw/s1600-h/2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 264px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JmLcai6YWcY/SfI51rWSkPI/AAAAAAAAATE/VfrcTMfrZuw/s320/2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5328384903464784114" border="0" /></a><br />This next track was introduced to us by a good friend and family member of 317.

Thanks to their foundation <a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://www.myspace.com/compuphonicmax">Compuphonic</a> was able to make something that gave me my daily dose of sweet synth vibes. He delivers on the sick remix to the Javelo track entitled <span style="font-style: italic;">Spleen</span>. For those looking for the intel, in 2002 Compuphonic started to learn the basis of electro and music production. He signed to make his first production off the label Dirty Dancing records where he released five EP's. His fame in Belgium gave him the opportunity to become a resident Dj. Since, Compuphonic has progressed through signing remixes for Kolombo, Tiga, the Presets, and Modular. Word on the street is he already has some new stellar tracks queued up for '09, we'll keep you posted.<br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" href="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?2x1wy4ezmi2">Javelo - Spleen</a><a style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" href="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?2x1wy4ezmi2"> (Compuphonic Remix)</a></div>adamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05657218490512556317noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4527779644622188057.post-55526693788634478402009-04-01T00:11:00.006-04:002009-04-03T15:19:18.283-04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:180%;" >Get Excited</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:130%;" >The Future is Sweet</span><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JmLcai6YWcY/SdZhIgGNQlI/AAAAAAAAAP4/zbhDl7V9cEk/s1600-h/l_911d1426064244a0b185115c4506fe74.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 217px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_JmLcai6YWcY/SdZhIgGNQlI/AAAAAAAAAP4/zbhDl7V9cEk/s320/l_911d1426064244a0b185115c4506fe74.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5320546808467636818" border="0" /></a><br />Wow, the people behind Valerie continue to impress me. They continuously unite great artists in phenomenal shows time and time again. Valerie Party, Paris, April 10th is no exception. It marks Electric Youth's first European tour. Included alongside is College, Anoraak, and Maethelvin. April 10th in Paris is shaping up to be one hell of a night. To celebrate my love for Valerie and the upcoming show we kept it real simple.<br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://www.myspace.com/collegeoflove">College</a> are sweet. I'm digging on a remix by 1928 that hit the Valerie Collective a couple days ago. This track is captivating. The vocals compliment the track so well and wow, don't even get me started on the rhythm. Simply awesome. It's pretty much continuously playing right now. Valerie's promotional description is pretty spot on so I thought I would include it for the curious mind.<br /><br /><em>We have a highly-rated sound this week, the Australian 1928, who did me the wonderful favour of remixing ‘Can you kiss me first’. This remix stays faithful to the original in mood and character, but the addition of a feminine vocal allows us glance upon it in a completely different way.</em> - <a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://valeriecherie.blogspot.com/">Valerie</a><br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" href="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?f2xjqz1jkzg">College - Can You Kiss Me First (1928 Remix)</a><br /><br />Also on the card April 10th is <a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://www.myspace.com/maethelvin">Maethelvin</a>, which coincidentally is incredible.

This track has been used in one of my favorite hip-hop songs and is a banger in its self. Got a real slow soul vibe to it that might catch you off guard. I want to draw attention to the kicking bass line here. It has a pop jazz feel, are over the scales, with much repetition but also digression. I do not know too much about Galt Macdermont but I think I will be looking into him a little further and with any luck some of his other tracks are of the same caliber. Anyways without more yadda yaddas here is the track, enjoy.<br /></div><p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?zmfzuikkuyi"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);">Galt Macdermot – Ripped Open by Metal Explosion </span></a><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: right;"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: right;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">Cheers, </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: right;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">Qwantum</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><br /></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b style=""><o:p> </o:p></b></p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p></p>Megaphoneteethhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18330090788054526556noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4527779644622188057.post-27761236622879902862009-03-27T12:06:00.013-04:002009-03-27T19:58:34.971-04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:180%;" >Ripped on Reality: </span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:130%;" >Numéro#, Le Matos, Coeur de Pirate, Erobique, Electric Youth, Surkin and Chromeo<br />(consider it festively plump)</span><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">An interesting couple of days for new musical discoveries...

Secondly, let it be known that I and the whole of the 317 crew have nothing but mad love for Cut Copy. That being said, Circa fucked up and totally screwed so many paying customers by totalling jamming the place, to what seemed way over capacity (or their legal capacity is played up like whoa!) and may have even turned fans into displeased listeneners that will tell their friends how whack Cut Copy was live. The thought alone makes me shudder.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mGR-zNRvwZI/Sc0BOwk_K6I/AAAAAAAAACM/ctwsmate4tQ/s1600-h/n121500820_38319919_4225193.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 181px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mGR-zNRvwZI/Sc0BOwk_K6I/AAAAAAAAACM/ctwsmate4tQ/s320/n121500820_38319919_4225193.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317908088064256930" border="0" /></a>I think its worth saying that Circa did not do Cut Copy justice. I have seen Cut Copy twice before in Toronto within a year and they were breathtaking, I almost cried.... Nah, but they were fucking amazing, and Circa has now tainted Cut Copy's image (in some peoples minds) in Toronto, a city that has nothing but love to give to a band that loves it right back, (I hope I am not speaking out of context on behalf of Cut Copy here).<br /></div><br />Enough is enough, and on to not only a different topic, but a whole new language. Yes, it is true... c'est vrai! I love the French, and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/jaimenumero">Numero#</a> are certainly no exception. They hail from Montreal, Québec, and their track "Hit Pop" was featured on Kitsuné 4, to much dance floor acclaim.<br /><br />Also, I recently came across a track to be released on their new album, <span style="font-style: italic;">Sport de combat</span> (due out April 14th). The track off of Kitsuné 4 is, as redundant as it is to say, a great upbeat pop track that does not disappoint. The second is a little more aggressive, but disco permeates throughout in no time; fresh electric synthesizers, harmonic loops and crisp drums... dopeness:<br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?4zt4mimxmzy">Numero# - Hit Pop</a><br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?mmodu4iymcy">Numero# - Tonton Klaxonne</a><br /><br />And with it, a remix of an older song off their first album. The remix is done by fellow Québecers, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/lematos">Le Matos</a>, who, to be honest with you, I don't know much about, yet. What I do know: they can throw down freshness on the dancefloor, remix specific - here is an example of their good vibes:<br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?n5dtjdhydz5">Numero# - Star Model (Le Matos Pointdexter Remix)</a><br /><br />Le Matos lays it down again, this time with their Mtl friends, that dwell more in the folk scene I would say, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/coeurdepirate">Coeur de Pirate</a>. I am a late bloomer on this track as it has been floating around the net for some time now. It displays deeper and more dark sounding synths that drive the beat of the track. Meanwhile, the vocals are almost eerily distant and innocent, haunting even, but, so soft and enchanting at the same time. This track is a gem to me, mad love.<br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?0ezcj0jmmzi">Coeur de Pirate - Comme des Enfants (Le Matos Andy Carmichael Remix)</a><br /><br />Something a little more different this time, a hop from Canada over to Germany, Hamburg more specifically, the home of <a href="http://www.myspace.com/erobique">Erobique</a>. This is the first track I have heard by these peeps, and it is pretty radical. I want to say, think a minimal type of Siriusmo, with less disco and more funk. If that means nothing to you (my bad), I will have to do a post on Sirismo soon time, until then...<br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?mz0xjjwz32m">Eurobique - Endorphinmachine</a><br /><br />Next up, don't worry almost done, our very good friends, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/electricyouthmusic">Electric Youth</a>, from West Hamilton and Toronto. They have just released their tour dates on their myspace, think Vienna and Paris for starters, say what!? These guys are unreal and the production is truly taking a step in a new direction. With the release of their new album comming up soon (so stoked), I think this may be a good hint as to what we can expect...oh my.<br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" href="http://www.mediafire.com/?yjjjwnzwejw"><br />Electric Youth - Lying Still</a><br /><br />Lastly (I know right?) is two well known names together, collaborating for your pleasure. From France, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/surkin">Surkin</a>, the youthful house/electro prodigy, with <a href="http://www.myspace.com/chromeo">Chromeo</a>, one of the freshest sounds North of the US border. If you happen to be a fan of one of the two and aren't familiar with the other, I urge you, this combo is undeniable.

You may recognize his work under the side projects: The Count and The Count & Sinden, having produced and released for the labels Cheap Thrills, Domino, Loungin', and Dubsided.

While this is not my favourite mix, and to be honest I prefer the original, it highlights a lot of the sampling capabilities Hervé possesses.<br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" href="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?ronottk2abg"><br />Herve - Cheap Thrills</a><br /><br />My grade 4 history teacher would always recite, "you can't know where you're going, unless you know where you've been." Sometimes the same goes for music. Here is a little bit of a throwback pieced out of Michael Jackson's <span style="font-style: italic;">Thriller </span><span>by Hervé</span>. It can be a tad loopy in some areas but has some incredibly funked out rifts that can force the stiffest people to start bending those knees.<br /><br />If you're in the mood for more, Hervé recently dropped a remix to Calvin Harris' <span style="font-style: italic;">I'm Not Alone</span>.<br /></div>adamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05657218490512556317noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4527779644622188057.post-80571885755495617262009-03-19T21:45:00.010-04:002009-03-23T01:26:18.105-04:00<div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:180%;" ><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:130%;" ></span></span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:180%;" >I DIG YOU</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 255);font-size:130%;" >i really, really do.</span><br /><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JmLcai6YWcY/ScL3m_ip2FI/AAAAAAAAAMI/FFR2WrVq4FM/s1600-h/demis.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_JmLcai6YWcY/ScL3m_ip2FI/AAAAAAAAAMI/FFR2WrVq4FM/s200/demis.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5315082759514478674" border="0" /></a>Demis Roussos was born in Egypt to ethnic Greek parents who later lost everything in the 1956 Suez Cris. After settling in Greece, <a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://www.demisroussos.net/">Roussos</a> started joining bands at the age of 17. In 1968 Demis joined <a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphrodite%27s_Child">Aphrodite's Child</a> and gained success internationally with the progressive rock album 666. When Aphrodite's Child disbanded, Demis continued with a solo career. Recording sporadically throughout the 1970s he created a disco record in 1977 entitled <span style="font-style: italic;">Magic</span> and a self-titled LP the following year. This track comes from the French 7" of <span style="font-style: italic;">Mourir Aupres De Mon Amour</span> where it is a B side. Much love goes out to <a style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);" href="http://beatelectric.blogspot.com/">beatelectric</a> for keeping it trendy. Demis throws it down hard here, what a track.<br /><br /><a style="color: rgb(0, 153, 0);" href="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?u0xyvwnr1ej">Demis Roussos - I Dig You</a><br /><br /></div>adamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05657218490512556317noreply@blogger.com0
