Hold Tight

It's been a bit too long since my last post, but hopefully the tunage I'm bringing you tonight will make up for that. I encourage you to crank your speakers, lock the doors, and hide the children, as these songs will assuredly transform you into a dance-happy maniac.

Patrick posted the GLOVES remix of "Sunlight" earlier, and although I don't think this mix from stopmakingme quite reaches its level of awesomeness, it's still damn good. I'm a sucker for those vocal stabs.

Bag Raiders - Sunlight (Stopmakingme Remix)

Thadius Hunter, who comprises one half of Australian dj duo Down N Dirty Djs, will have you busting loose with this Chicago house inspired edit of Heatwave's classic "Boogie Nights".

Heatwave - Boogie Nights (Thadius' partying in Chicago edit)

The blogoshpere (ourselves included) is all over Kartell right now, and for good reason. The frenchman has an apparent knack for all things funk and disco. Pantera may be one of my favorite house/nu-disco jams to date. Here's a nice little remix he did for Teenage Bad Girl that I spotted on Upside Sounds. Check it out.

Teenage Bad Girl - Keep Up With You (Kartell Remix)

Still more funky house goodness, I got my hands on this one from Galactik Knights earlier this week. These guys were a big part of the sounds that got me seriously into the french house scene. This particular remix should show you exactly why, with an upbeat, high energy, and downright danceable beat that anyone could get behind.

House Rulez - Music (Galactik Knights Remix)

Augustus posted Part 1 for everybody to download, so I'll go ahead and post this 192 version of "Time to Change (Part 2)" for you all as well. Just like I said in my last post about it, it's a dance-floor destroyer with a heavy hitting drop brought in by a wonderfully disco-y buildup. Pick up the 320 from Highbloo here.

Highbloo - Time to Change (Part 2)

And to close things out and get this Saturday night started, how about some mad electro craziness from Ninetynine Hertz and Mr. Oizo? Have a thoroughly Bright & Shiny weekend errbody.

Reset, Default, Automatic

Italian Broke One appears to be on a mission to bring back those old-school Chicago house sounds and vibes based on what I've been hearing from him recently. This remix he did of Evil Nine's "Auto" serves as a good example as he layers together a distant synth background over the originals vocals, adding in a hint of acid underneath it all.

Evil Nine - Auto (Broke One Remix)


We've posted about him before, and with "Pantera", Frenchman and Shiny Disco Club crew member Kartell has definitively paved a bassline heavy path straight to my heart. Smooth, sexy, and funky as fuck are all terms one might use to describe this jam. Save this one for the lady-friend.
Kartell - Pantera


I believe we posted the Laidback Luke mix of Carte Blanche's "Do! Do! Do!" a while back, but personally, I'm much more of a fan of what Strip Steve has decided to do with it. Heavy on the hi-hats and heavy on the bass, this one just begs you to dance along.
Carte Blanche - Do! Do! Do! (Strip Steve Jacked Up Remix)


I really don't know much about eSQUIRE aside from the fact that he's from the UK, but he's managed to give one of my absolute favorite Daft Punk songs a delectable thickness that would destroy any dance floor. Sounds like my kind of guy.
eSQUIRE vs. Daft Punk - High Life 2011


Alright so I'll switch gears here and bring you guys some harder stuff, beginning with a bomb from Bart B More. Admittedly, that's a term that gets thrown around a lot here when describing big tracks, but seriously, this is a bomb. Download it immediately and let it pulverize your sound system.
Bart B More - Gilles (Original Mix)


HolyshitSharooz. Unfortunately, that's all that's whats left of my brain is able to process after listening to the La Bombe label boss's latest release.
Sharooz - Hysteresis (Original Mix)


And to close things out, why not some good ol' reliable Chuckie. I mean seriously, you can always count on this guy to bring the heat, just as he does with this mix of Diddy's "I Hate That You Love Me". Although it's got more of a progressive sounding buildup and drop, it'll certainly do the trick.
Diddy - I Hate That You Love Me (Chuckie's Marquee Remix)

Sauces

Frenchman and Shiny Disco Club member Kartell lays down some serious funk with "La Jeunesse Retrouvée". This is baby-making music if nothing else; just don't ask me to pronounce that title..

Kartell - La Jeunesse Retrouvée


I happened upon this gem from Mix Chopin the other day. Though it's a bit old, the bassline and synthwork are simply too good to ignore, so check this out if you haven't before, or if you're unfamiliar with Chopin's filter-house goodness.
Mix Chopin - Ecliptic


House super-duo Duck Sauce attack Chromeo's "Hot Mess" in their latest remix, dropping a discotheque rockin' beat over some looped Elly Jackson vocals from the original. A-Trak and Van Helden prove time and time again with these releases that together, they can do no wrong.
Chromeo ft. Elly Jackson - Hot Mess (Duck Sauce Remix)


I've posted a track or two from these guys before and I've been even more impressed by the stuff I've checked out since then. These New Zealand bros are the real deal. So if you haven't already, add the name Chaos in the CBD to your music radar and look out for some more of their stuff here on B&S.
Blaze Tripp - San Fierro (Chaos in the CBD NZ Funky Refix)


We've ranted about Deadmau5 before, but "Limit Break", which he released for free on Christmas day, is a much needed return to form. With production reminiscent of earlier tracks like "The Reward is Cheese", this will literally knock you to the floor if you're not prepared for it. I strongly advise you to set yourself in a firm, athletic stance before that first drop; it's a doozy. Those of you who follow us on twitter already have this techno jameroo, but for those of you who don't, consider this a final warning: follow us on twitter, or else... you won't get all the cool stuff we put up there!

This Shouldn't Be Difficult

It's been a while. I wouldn't have forgotten you.

First up I have an perfectly acidic electro track by Logo. They bring you this free from their studio. I'm really enjoying that piano part that comes in around 2:40.

Logo - Baab

This one really gets me. Kartell comes out of nowhere with this amazingly simplistic jazz house track. I cannot get over how cool listening to this makes me feel. He plays with the melody a bit, mixing it up just enough for it to remain consistently fresh but without over doing it. Great hi-hats.

Kartell - Diaporama

I am extremely jealous of Siriusmo, which I guess makes me a huge fan. The constant mutation of each track he creates just serves to demonstrate his array of production skills and knack for original and unique harmonic progressions. Give me your talents........

Siriusmo - Mosaik

ceo's debut album, White Magic, is a truly well done electro pop album. This track has a great chord progression that gives it the dreamy quality that is so appropriate for this genre of music. Listen for the great, "I keep it real", voice in the background.

ceo - Come With Me

Old Schooler Gui Boratto brings you a great electro track perfect for those long night drives.

Gui Boratto - No Turning Back

Discodeine teams up with Jarvis Cocker on this funky upbeat serenade. Bendy synths!

Discodeine ft. Jarvis Cocker - Synchronize (Radio Edit)

Ed Banger All-Star DJ Mehdi takes a breather here with this relaxing down tempo remix of a superduper Miike Snow track. Mehdi takes this one to the next level.

Miike Snow - Burial (DJ Mehdi Remix)

Bonus:

Poka, in his traditional fashion, slays the dance floor. The chopped reggae vocals definitely complement this high energy track.

Rudeboy Theme (Demo) by poka

I feel a little violated after watching this video...

Love, Patrick
