God Damn It

First up: NEW DUCK SAUCE. That's right, Bright & Shiny favorites and disco-house master craftsmen Duck Sauce have a new track. Now, its far from released, but the new track, tentatively titled "Goody Two Shoes" can be spied around the 40-minute mark in an absolutely smashing mix done by Louis La Roche for Australian radio station Triple J. Mind you, the track played is a Louis La Roche edit, but it's still positively delectable. The tracklist for the mix can be found below.

This is just a one long preview of the whole EP, so I don't have a favorite yet, but I will say that the drums on the Jay Wesley remix are straight SILLY. The EP is out November 20th on Champagne Records.

Moar french house. Brand new jam from the Phantom's Revenge called "Charlie" which samples one of the greatest shows ever to grace your television set, "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia."
The Phantom's Revenge - Charlie


the Clubhaus

Crazy stupid electro from Joachim Garraud. Watch out for your face 'cause your neck may inadvertently start smashing it into blunt objects without your permission.
Fuzzy Hair - Ilike (Joachim Garraud Remix)


Deniz Koyu brings us such an acidic track that it almost verges on trance. Your guido friends will loove this one. Props to DJ Ruthy from the Easy Love Records blog for this one.
Deniz Koyu - Milton and the Nodheads (Original Mix)

if i'm not beside you i'm behind you

French Touch gods Daft Punk are true jacks-of-all-trades. Their robotic interpretation of the R&B/hip-hop beat is refreshing. The duo crafts a smooth, muffled soundscape over which Pharrell exercises his famous falsetto with his funk band N.E.R.D. along for the ride. To be honest, I'm not even close to digging the vocals, but try and listen to the backing track because it's gorgeous; this brand of robot hip-hop is something I could definitely get used to.
N.E.R.D. - Hypnotize U (prod. Daft Punk)


Before his Daft Punk days, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo was one half of Le Knight Club off the legendary French house imprint Crydamoure. Quinten 909 of the Netherlands (another goddamn Dutchman) has impressed the whole of Bright & Shiny with the consistently outrageous quality of his productions. He does it again here, making this song more like Daft Punk than it already was. Do yourself a favor and watch out for this guy.
Le Knight Club - Soul Bells (Quinten 909 Remix)


Geht's Noch?, a couple of nice young men from Belgium, have made a very nice song. The build-up is very strange, but when it drops... well, you know the rest. And make sure you're wearing a helmet.
Geht's Noch? - Body Jack (Original Mix)


Frenetic, pounding electro beats: exactly what we've come to expect from Felix Cartal.
Felix Cartal - Love (Original Mix)


I don't know what this says about me, but I had never heard of Martin Solveig until the release of his Hello EP with Dragonette. That being said, I am now convinced this man is a genius. The lineup of artists he commissioned to rework this track is so obscene that he will have forced us to put nearly every track from the EP on the blog by the end of the week-- it's THAT good. Now, I do have a conscience, so I insist that you go and buy the "Hello (Club Mix)" on beatport this instant. It's better than all the remixes, which are incredible, because it will have everyone from your girlfriend to your grandmother on the dancefloor faster than you can say "Who the fuck is Martin Solveig?" The first remix is from Dada Life who bring their uniquely ragetastic brand of electro direct to your face. The second is from Dutch warlock Sidney Samson, taking it back to the good old days with some delicious acid house. God, I love acid house and Martin Solveig.
Martin Solveig & Dragonette - Hello (Dada Life Remix)

Martin Solveig & Dragonette - Hello (Sidney Samson Remix)



the Clubhaus

Today's edition of Clubhaus is a mainly Dutch production... like usual. First up is Oliver Twizt, with this sexy, afro-latin inspired track.
Oliver Twizt - Loca ft. Maluca


AFRO YAAK. This is just a preview ripped from Tongy's show on Radio 1, but it sounds to me like Afrojack is taking his interpretation of the Dutch sound in a new, more club compatible direction. This is the most spacious shit I've heard out of him in a while. I dare you to listen to this and not imagine yourself dancing your ass off in some futuristic, warehouse rave like the one in that awesome Yeasayer video.
Afrojack - Amanda (Radio Rip)


Speaking of spacious, I am very proud to bring you today a beautiful, prog-house song from AMERICAN producer, Ian Carey. Apparently Carey hails from Maryland like 3/4 of Bright & Shiny. Weird, right? Think again. Maryland is the next Netherlands. Mark my words, one day we'll all be listening to Maryland house when we're too drunk to do anything but dance. Anyway, this is the only good remix I've heard of chart-smashing single "Take Over Control" by Afrojack and it's VERY good.
Afrojack - Take Over Control ft. Eva Simmons (Ian Carey Remix)


Check out this sexy video for Swedish House Mafia's summer anthem "Miami 2 Ibiza" which came out a week ago.

THANK GOD IT'S technically FRIDAYYY

Sir Real

Meaty

Today I have prepared for you all a nice selection of house, house, and more house. Following the first course there will be another serving of house and for dessert, a warm plate of house.

Louise La Roche has been on my radar for a while now but had never managed to really impress me with the consistency of his work until now. Sure he's always been good, but sometimes his productions seemed a bit uninspired. Those days are long gone. La Roche has been killing this french filter house sound for months now and this track is absolutely no exception.
Bright Light Bright Light - Love Part II (Louis La Roche Remix)

More dank french house, this time from actual Frenchman Jean Tonique.
Jean Tonique - Peace (Original Remix)

This may not be house, but the fat, yet simple bassline in this joint is what prompted me to put this up here. Check out NiAmOr's myspace here to get to know these enigmatic Frenchmen better.
NiAmOr - What Am I Doing Here ft. Sundance (Original Mix)

I've known Aniki to make some badass rave tracks (see: "Put On My Raving Kicks (Original Mix)"), but this joint is as french as it gets. Booty shaking and foot stomping begins at 2:47.
Aniki - Lesbian Bondage Fiasco (Original Mix)

Clubhaus

This is about as ravey as it gets, coming from one of the main proponents of rave synths in 2010 and one half of Duck Sauce.

Armand van Helden, Steve Aoki - Brrrat! (Original Mix)

I can't even tell if I like this song yet. But like it or not, this man needs to be apprehended immediately and placed in a maximum security prison. I give you one of the best Dutch producers in the game, Afrojack.

Duck Sauce - Barbra Streisand (Afrojack Meaty Mix)

I posted the Sunloverz remix of this track ages ago. Little did I know that the original was about four times as good. [EDIT: the preview/download link for "Like A Bitch" is now correct]

Paul Attrax - Like A Bitch (Original Extended Mix)

This progressive house jam comes courtesy of my boy Jimbro. It's old (2008) but it's good. Cristian Marchi knows how to make an infectious clubhaus melody.

Cristian Marchi - Love, Sex, American Express ft. Dr. Feelx (Cristian Marchi Main Perfect Vocal Mix)

iiiiiiit's Friiiiidaaaaaaay

I Drank Too Much

I had about 30 tracks I was tryna post this afternoon, so here is the creme of the cream. Check out that space monkey, right?

So Grum is making beautiful full-fledged futuristic soundscapes at this point... propers are due to the 80's synth master.
Gamble & Burke - Let's Go Together (Grum Remix)


Louis La Roche knows how to put the "groovy" in "groovy french house." Haha I'm an idiot.
Boy Crisis - Fountain of Youth (Louis La Roche 'In the Discoteque' Remix)


In Augustus' absence (he's rafting in Oregon, the shit), I'm posting this song off a mix CD he left in my car. This track would scare the pants right off your grandmother.
Mightyfools - Amsterdam ft. Guerilla Speakerz (Dem Slackers Remix)


Vandalism vandalized this song. Thank goodness for them, otherwise I'd never feel completely comfortable listening to Katy Perry.
Katy Perry - Teenage Dream (Vandalism V8 Club Remix)


I saw this a week ago but I didn't want to post it until it had a name out of respect for its makers... deadmau5 & Wolfgang Gartner. Together. On one song. If this doesn't excite you, get the fuck off my blog.
deadmau5 & Wolfgang Gartner - Animal Rights


Obscure yet dirty electro grooves out of Berlin for your soul.
ULTRNX - Rockstr (GhettosexXx Remix)

the Clubhaus
It does not get crazier than this Proxy fellow. Thank you, Russia.
Congorock - Babylon (Proxy Remix)

BONUS!!
Proxy - Raven (HQ Rip)


I hope P. Diddy commissioned this remix cause that would be so sweet.
P. Diddy - Hello Good Morning (Erick Morillo & Eddie Thoneick Mix)


This one will get you dancing.
Kid Massive, Bass Kleph & Chris Arnott - All Right (Original Mix)


Better start packing, only 2 days 'til Electric Zoo, NY!

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.

The latest signee to Ajax’ record label, Sweat it Out, Australia's own DCUP has already drawn comparisons with Treasure Fingers, Miami Horror, and Shazam, from influential names in the industry. He’s funk fuelled disco for right now. Signed in May, this year, he’s the seventh artist to join the cutting edge roster of Sweat it Out members. Others include Gameboy/Gamegirl, Act Yo Age, KillaQueenz, Yoland Be Cool, and Pablo Calamari.

DCUP - Last Night A DJ Saved My Life

Graeme Shepherd, also known as Grum, grew up in Linlithgow, near Edinburgh, on a diet of classic rock and synth-pop. After landing a deal with UK's HeartBeats Records, The 24 year-old Scotsman has become on of the UK's most important new dance producers.

Everything Everything - MY KZ, UR BF (Grum Remix) [Removed by request]

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.

Mr. Oizo & Gaspard Augé - Tricycle Express

After gaining respect for the remixes he made for world-renowned artists such as Steve Aoki, Major Lazer, N.A.S.A, The Shoes, autoKratz, Tom Deluxx, Royskopp to name only a few, LaTourette released two tracks on CocoMachette Rec (USA/NY).

Something A La Mode - 5AM (LaTourette Remix) [Removed by request]

Love, Patrick

Allow me to introduce myself

Hey people who don't read this blog yet. I'm Patrick, one of the four people you will be seeing posts from here on Bright & Shiny. I can say with confidence that you should just blindly download the four songs I've posted today, but I don't have to do that because I found a nifty little player. Play the songs, THEN download them. In conclusion, please refer left <<.

I'm usually not a fan of remixed classics, but I think this little number deserves an exception.

The Beatles - And I Love Her (Allure Remix) [Right click, save as]

They opened for Chromeo and I got there too late... This song will creep inside you and take residence in your brain.

Holy Ghost! - I Will Come Back (Classixx Acacpulco Nights Version) [Right click, save as]

Need to relax? Long drive ahead? Prepare with a little Bit Funk.

Things I Can't Remember - Bit Funk [Right click, save as]
