Make That Megapost Clap

It's been a slow week here on radio Bright & Shiny, but no worries, we're back here in full effect with good tunes, sunny vibes and a megapost of epic proportions. I say sunny vibes cause it's a beautiful day here in southern california and all I can find myself listening to is appropriately chilled down music. It is thursday, though, so mixed in with the chill is some measured insanity to aid you this weekend. Don't say we didn't tell you so.

Norwegian Todd Terje is in a class of his own. Support the man and grab this masterpiece off beatport. (Also make sure you've checked out Ragysh/Snooze 4 Love from last year if you managed to sleep that hard)
download: Todd Terje - Inspector Norse (Original Mix)



Fresh off the recent dirtybird Hatched pt 2 compilation, this one is sure to.. well.. make that booty clap. Seriously though, drop this on any dance floor, and pandemonium is guaranteed to ensue. The hip hop breakdown at 2:35 is killer as well.

The name says it all on this one
download: Notorious B.I.G. - Going Back to Cali (Viceroy "Jet Life" Remix)



Sunshine grooves straight from the legendary island itself
download: Larse - The More I Want (Eivissa Edit)



Deep, tropical house  courtesy of the lovely Nina Kraviz and the video below.
download: SCSI-9 - Summariata (Pablo Bolivar Remix)






Classic Zeds Dead that still hits the spot every time.

Honestly this track is too good. Noir has been killing it lately, both with his label and his own tracks. Simply put, this is tech house in its most mischievous, late-night form. Just a warning, this one is prone to finding its way to packed dance floors at 5am. Grab the full release on beatport.
download: Noir & Richard Davis - Found Out (Original Mix)  *Highly Recommended



Slowed down, Hip Hop vibes from German beatsmiths Modeselektor.

Wait, it's already thursday?

More big room sounds. Anyone remember this blast from the past from Chris Lake and Michael Woods?
download: Chris Lake and Michael Woods - Dominos (Orignal Mix)



This song was co-written by Boys Noize. I'll let you decide.




Speaking of Boys Noize, he and Mr. Oizo have officially teamed up to create the electro tech supergroup Handbraekes and will be releasing a 4 song EP. My personal favorite off the EP is the absolutely ludicrous bomb "Callgurls". The full release is still a while away, but you can grab a preview quality below to tide you over until then.

Hedonistic party collective/illuminati affiliates The Well are having their first warehouse party of the year in LA this weekend. You'd be a fool not to be there. RSVP here

Lines and Form

 An oldie but a goodie, I've been dropping this one in some of my dj sets recently to a pretty devastating effect. Between Tiga's bizarro lyrics and Mr. Oizo's crushing electro style, there's really nothing not to like in this one.
Tiga - Shoes (Mr. Oizo Remix)


Some diabolical electro-house here from Canada's own Torro Torro.
Torro Torro - Knockin' Boots (Original Mix)


Mylo and Sharooz give Robyn a funky electro makeover on this one. (Cudos to Patrick for finding it)
Robyn - Don't Fucking Tell Me What To Do (Mylo & Sharooz Remix)


Mikix The Cat really seems to be on the up & up. This original track is a techy dancefloor melter that highlights his ability to make powerful dance music using just the bare essentials.
Mikix The Cat - Hot Block


A change of pace here with a delectable bit of french house. Kind of reminds me of Fred Falke. I'm still trying to figure out what kind of name WebQueawry is through.
WebQueawry - Searching


Stay Classy,
Augustus

Uh oh it's August

It's Patrick again..

It's August now boys and girls. The weather is hot, the air is humid, and it's time to relish the fleeting days of summer in the best way you know how; blasting good tunes.

This track is from the sound track to Quentin Dupieux's (Mr. Oizo) new movie entitled Rubber. Mr. Oizo, a 36 year old french music producer with Ed Banger Records, collaborated with Justice, and specifically Gaspard Auge to create the soundtrack. In the November 2009 issue of Mixmag, Justice stated that they had to finish working on this soundtrack before beginning to record their new album.
