I Don't Even Speak Russian

Inventive and catchy synth pop bliss off of Tiga's Turbo Records. This song feels like a cooler version of what the 80's should have been like. I recommend listening from the start and letting it just sort of grab you, if you jump ahead all the subtleties that really make the track what it is will end up getting totally lost on ya.

It's friday, so no one should feel guilty about grabbing these next two big room bombs by Archie V and Fareoh. Both are huge and reminiscent of Avicii when he's on top of his game, and I wouldn't be surprised to see both of these dudes blow up in this next year.

Ahhh, good old Boys Noize & Erol Alkan. The two of them are responsible for some of the catchiest and most genre-defining electro cuts from the past decade. Roland Rat shows them again channeling that undeniable talent for crafting pure, fierce electronic energy. The B Side, Brain Storm is equally crazy. Both of the tracks on this EP are 100% Analog, which is pretty cool. Purchase Here.

1985. Chicago. This classic cut used to be one of Frankie Knuckles' favorite records to play out. I'm addicted to that main synth line.

FUTURE TECHNO. This next track is completely mental, and while I wish that I invented the phrase 'Future Techno' because it's fucking awesome, this song actually comes off of a really good Bad Life compilation called Future Techno. There are a bunch of other really awesome tracks on it, including huge ones by NT89 and Attaque, so definitely head over to beatport and check it out.
download: Night Symmetry - Moon (Original Mix)



More techno here with Maetrik aka Maceo Plex getting stright diabolical on this one...

Todd Terje wants you to imagine what The Bangles would be like if they recorded their classic 'Walk Like An Egyptian' on the island of Ibiza in the 70s instead of some studio in america in the 80s. Find out below. Good vibes and an all around fun time. I love Todd Terje.

Do I really need to explain a track by a group called Beat Pharmacy? Yes, it's every bit as amazing as their name would imply.

Alex Metric just gave this new EP away for free on his website today, check out my favorite of the three tracks below and head over to www.alexmetric.com to download the full EP (did I mention it's free?)

I'm Shakin'

Well now. I got an iPhone just a few weeks ago and apparently the rumors are true: this shit is tight! One of the first things I did was get Pandora Radio and I was rewarded immediately. This lil’ old Fukkk Offf jam starting pumping out of my speakers and I soon found myself moving uncontrollably (much to the bewilderment of the family in the car next to me). This comes off of his Love Me Hate Me Kiss Me Kill Me album from ’09 which includes “Rave Is King”, a song I can only hope you’ve heard so I’ll post it too, along with the best remix, just in case.
Fukkk Offf - Love My Shake

Fukkk Offf - Rave Is King

This remix has become a staple in Moby’s DJ sets and is fittingly a rave anthem.
Fukkk Offf - Rave Is King (Zodiac Cartel Remix)


Mark Knight’s remix of perhaps the most classic house song of them all, You’ve Got The Love, has been atop the Beatport charts since its June release and for good reason. Apparently all proceeds are going to relief efforts in Japan so make sure to grab it here. Good for you Mark. 8 minutes of progressive breakdowns and builds are completed with bits of the original with a piano part, and a head-bobbing beat reminiscent of his work with Wolfgang Gartner in “Conscindo”.
Florence & The Machine - You've Got The Love (Mark Knight Remix)


Canadian group Azari & III will be releasing their newest single, Manic, on August 2nd. The limited Turbo 12” comes with the original and a few remixes by Maceo Plex, DJ Sneak, Borderline, and Finger Prince. The Finger Prince dub is my favorite and is a track I can see someone like Seth Troxler dropping. Overall it sounds almost nothing like the original. A simply layered intro evolves into an acid-laden beauty with a groove that seems to come out of nowhere. Just wait for the three minute mark.
Azari & III - Manic (The Finger Prince Faded Sensation Dub)- Turbo108 by Turbo Recordings

Feed Me is relatively new to the scene, but has managed to make his mark in the genres of Dubstep and Electro relatively quickly. He leaves those influences out of this remix, however, treating us with a calm yet spectacular surprise. He still amps it up a bit from the original, but boy does this make you want to relax. Like a chill-pill for your ears.
Gorillaz – Melancholy Hill (Feed Me Remix)


Somewhere between Egypt and India, Jan Driver found the beat for this song. I feel like I’m lost somewhere in an eastern desert when I listen to it. Anyways, this song may be old, but Jan Driver is as relevant as ever. His 5 track “Amt” EP is set to be released on Boys Noize Records on August 1st and will set the tone for his debut album “Amatilda”, expected to come out in a month or so.
Jan Driver - Tellyfoam


Now let’s segue into perhaps my favorite part of all this. Boys Noize and Erol Alkan teamed up not long ago to produce, Avalanche, yet another masterful product courtesy of the pair (see Lemonade, Death Suite). You may have seen some of the countless videos that feature Alex bombing a helpless crowd with the regular version, but I now bring to you the recently released vocal version. A spooky thumping persists as Jarvis Cocker’s recitation of Leonard Cohen’s ballad, Avalanche, fades in and out. Halloween’s come early.
Boys Noize & Erol Alkan – Avalanche ft. Jarvis Cocker (192 kbps)

In other BNR news, a young artist that goes by the name of SCNTST was just added to the label. 17 year old Bryan Müller has a lot of hype surrounding him so expect his upcoming EP to be something special. More on him later...

Bonus!!

If you want me you can find me in the 'A'

OKAY it's Saturday. Let's get things started seeing as there is partying to be done, it is the weekend after all.

We're going to take this kinda slow starting with a brunch of sorts. This Aeroplane remix of "Baby I'm Yours" by the one of a kind Breakbot deals out two full servings of funk wrapped in your recommended daily value of groove. Just snap your fingers when you get to a 1.25 minutes.
Breakbot - Baby I'm Yours ft. Irfane (Aeroplane Remix)



Lazy Rich's programming ability is evidenced here on an electro jam with funky, stuttering progressive synths.
Toby Emerson - Never Comin' Down (Lazy Rich Remix)



Culture has found this song to be mentally handicapped. That's right, this track is totally retarded. Things don't start to get started until 1:00, where you'll find the latin-inspired synth lurking in your speakers.
Da Hool - Meet Her at the Love Parade (Nom De Strip Remix)



New Weezy single featuring Drake. Consider this a warning: this is the Lil Wayne we used to love, not the one who's been spreading his rap genius too thinly as of late. This joint is thoroughly unreleased.
Lil Wayne - Right Above It ft. Drake (CDQ/No DJ)



the Clubhaus
So this is a new feature I'll be doing probably every post, but we’ll see how it goes. Remember when you were a kid and you had a tree house and it was called the clubhouse and no girls were allowed and all you did was read comics and play Cowboys and Indians and other such ultra-violent, make-believe games? Well I don’t, ‘cause I never had a fucking tree house, who do you think I am. Anyway, back to the ‘90s pop-culture clubhouse reference—this is like that except girls are totally allowed and instead of reading comics all we do is rave our faces off. The Clubhaus will be providing you with the best of the hard, big room sounds you seek this holiday season. However, there are rules. The first rule of the Clubhaus is that all tracks must be played as loud as possible. If this rule is not followed you are to be found in violation of NAFTA and extradited from the Clubhaus, as you clearly do not belong and are probably a terrorist. Other than that the Clubhaus is your playground and the vanguard of unspeakably incomprehensible club music the world over. Come here for your fix of music that belongs only in a club, the kind of music that makes you say “What the fuck, that was just loud-ass computer noises!” the first time you hear it, the kind of music that shouldn’t be understood but feels good.

Both of these guys are totally nuts, so if you put 'em together its just not fair... Shit gets real real at 2 minutes flat, although as with all works of art I suggest you give the buildup a solid listen.
Wolfgang Gartner & Mark Knight - Conscindo (Original Club Mix)

Ignore that stupid electronic plunking noise for the first minute, vocals are phenomenal.

Wynter Gordon - Dirty Talk (Laidback Luke Remix)

Stuck somewhere between progressive and electro house Sidney Samson found this hybrid banger.
Sidney Samson - Panorama (Original Mix)

Treasure Fingers

Atlanta born DJ and producer Treasure Fingers is in town tonight for a set at U Street Music Hall. I've loved this man's particular brand of house music for about three years now, its sure to be a good time.
