AUGUST

So summer has pretty much ended in mid-August. CHEERS England. Some photos from the last of my beach times in Alghero taken with a Boots disposable. And a gorgeous song from the Hivern A L'Estiu Vol 2. Comp.

Pettre - La Verdad Flota

LOVE FEVER

Holy moly Brooklyn's Jacques Renault and Gadi Mizrahi from Wolf +/Or Lamb are playing this Saturday in a secret dingy hole in Dalston. We've got a fever and the only cure is more funky edits with a kickdrum on it.

U GOT ME

Incredibly groovy and equally girly Ibiza Voice mix from Lee Foss
Oh the joy.

BEAM ME UP

Midnight Magic - Beam Me Up (Jacques Renault Remix)

Ah the rest of the remix package is equally nice but there's nobody better at finely crafting disco epics than Monsieur Renault.

Loving You

LOVING YOU demo tony lionni by tony lionni

Very catchy. If you don't mind the rave.

Off Summer

If you like flip flops and Hawaiian shirts, you'll love Picture House' floaty Balearic remix of Crystal Fighters' In The Summer.

I can't believe I'm posting a Crystal Fighters song - total pansys, but this remix makes you forget it's even them innit.

Off Beat

So of course just as I left the T Bar Closing Party at Scrutton Sweaty Street, Soul Clap decided to play Extravaganza and everyone had an amazing life-changing singalong session and then I died.

To celebrate and recuperate, here's the gorgeous podcast for Hybridlife by Maayan Nidam. It's even got that horribly out of time x acid track, all my favourite things: Oracy - Bass Mood (via Pablo Funkism). So painful.

Lulz

Parisian deep house producer D'julz's latest Podcast, featuring the likes of Martinez, Omar S & Alex Picone.

Second track in goes berserk. Lovely.

'RADARTE'

Many lols.

Wind Up (Genius of Time) - Challenge (Pete Herbert & Tim Paris)

Generic in a good way.

R & S the Best

Pariah - Prism (96)

After getting lol'ed at for liking the cheesy vocals in Pariah's Orpheus, now everyone's hyped about the niceness from the album Safehouses.
Yeah.

No Fun Without You

Super Sound Single (Ashley Beedle Remix) - Off Key Hat

When I first started seeing 'Off Key Hat' remixes about I just assumed it was the outcome of more off key hi-hats in tracks becoming a prevalent trend. This is much better.

Loving You Was My Mistake

So the lovely Mr My Panda Shall Fly remixes Josh Pirate 'RAVER4LYFE' Soundsystem's new track.

Expect gated synths and epic breakdowns.

Dub N U

3rd Strike

Following Erdbeerschnitzel loving, Under The Shade imprint 3rd Strike release the super smooth Homepark EP (soundcloud) as Slutty Tony Fringe ranted about.

Overlooking the remix from Hamburg-based label Mirau's Iron Curtis, fav pick has to be Alternity for epic bongo-laced deep house.

Dallas

As featured in Zev's Live at Sunset Mix:

Ost & Kjex - Have You Seen the Moon In Dallas? (Maurice Fulton Remix)

Amazingly floaty piece from the guys with a penchant for cheese sampling.

RA Antwerp

So forward-thinking let's just call it 'Avantwerp' fashion.
Pilotto, Ackermann, oh how I love you.

Understand This - Jet Project [Get Physical]

A Piece of History - CPR (supergroup Crosson, Patrick, and Reeves)

Won't You Show Me All Of The Galaxy

As featured in Soul Clap's Phonica DJ Chart, Space Dimension Controller's The Love Quadrant is literally a work of genius. At only 19 hailing from somewhere dingy like Belfast, this harks back to a time of Steves in Bromley & his equally epic Journey to the Core of the Unknown comes complete w/ Kyle Hall remix.

To sum up this track perfectly:
"You know this song was made by a man - A woman could not have made this... because a woman can never understand love, like a man does... And that is essentially, what this song is about". Thomas P Ensom

OPN

So usually if someone asks do you want to listen to some psychedelic IDM you'd say leave me alone you fucking hippie, but Oneohtrix Point Never is making it a bit interesting. Soaring off-key synths and layered bleeps make for an emotive ride.

Oneohtrix Point Never - Laser to Laser

4 Months

Erdbeerschnitzel's 4 Months has been out a while now but in case you've slept on it, listen now:

4 Months by erdbeerschnitzel
And forget about the Mark E Edit, it's all about the Original here.

And I've been playing this one out a bit too:
Solomun & Stimming - Eiszauber (Motorcitysoul Remix)

Handbags

So I think it's safe to say I've never been afraid of handbags until Lynch directed a Dior advert.
Watching AnOther Mag coverstar Cotillard going a bit berserk in Shanghai left me curled up in a ball, wanting a Lady Dior cannage handbag and feeling like a right moby dick. Amazing.

P.s Sigha re-'imagines' the Echologist's (Brendon Moeller innit) Slow Burn.
And featuring insightful lyrics everyone can relate to 'You Can't Hide Your Love' is a pop-tastic blast from the past from DMX Krew, blates a genius.

For the Last Day...

I've been non-stop listening (well at 15 minutes a pop, repeats pretty much fill up a day) to the beautifully lush SIS remix of Hector. This track will make you exceedingly happy. A lighter version of the bouncy 90s house route as Hector likes to take.
