Todd

Oslo's answer to the Peckham Terminator, the prolific Terjinator has done it again with this edit of Lindstrom's Ra ako st. I like to imagine Todd Terje hiding out in a log cabin under the northern lights hard at work behind his laptop, churning out quality remixes - wherever he does it he's on to a winning formula.

LINDSTRØM - Ra-Ako-St (Todd Terje edit)



Todd is the master of the disco house remix, letting fly this Hot Chip cut:

HOT CHIP - How Do You Do (Todd Terje remix)



I think I've put this on the blog before (I've definitely listened to it a lot of times), but I still love it. Todd's remix of the frankly less than cool Osmonds:

Osmonds - I,I,I - Todd Terje Edit



He doesn't just tinker with other people's tunes though, here is his original track Inspector Norse, released earlier in the year:

TODD TERJE - Inspector Norse (radio edit)




If you like what you've heard head over to Todd's soundcloud account to hear more Terje style edits and remixes.

Organ

I really enjoy the deep house bass and crisp hits of this track, peppered with just enough space piano to take you on a cosmic journey. It's the original mix of "The Organ Track" by Thomas Gandey:


If you're after more of a club tune served with a slice of nostalgia, check out Gandey's remix of Mousse T.'s "Horney":


Turbo's ZZT (aka Tiga & Zombie Nation) have once again given the world an excellent electro edged house-hip-hop cut in the form of their latest tune "Nickel und Dime". The track is a little short, but hopefully there will be some extended mixes out soon: [Video NSFW]

Mashups round up

Just some mash ups that tickled me recently...

Finally Beef, Mos Def vs Pretty Lights by lavajury who has a youtube channel here and you can download the track here


Pjanoo Dance, David Bowie vs Eric Prydz by Dunproofin which I found here at the mutant pop blog


Staying Hot, Nelly vs the Bee Gees by DJ Lobster dust who has a blog here, a youtube channel here and you can download the track here.


This has been all over the internet for about 3 million years but its still worth a mention.



Lastly, this is a great duo I stumbled across recently who mashed David Bowie into Elton John with surprisingly brilliant results. The band can be found here

Old Ferro

Oh Hai!

Ferro is getting old and is rapidly approaching the "someone's father playing music from two decades ago at the school disco".

The aspect of the getting old with music arc I'm on is buying music that's good to run to,In that light, check this out - E-Spectro with Dawn on Sunset.

 

And for the after run, wonk session; The Flint Kids remix of Nest by Gazelle Twin.



Wuv - Ferro

wax on wax off

Soulwax have just uploaded their remix of Sprawl II to youtube. It still has the Soulwax sound of electric hits and bells, but the boys from Belgium have moved with the times in more of a minimal direction. I was going to say it's quite different from the 2007 smash remix of The Klaxons' Gravity's Rainbow and play it below, but I've listened to it again and it doesn't sound that different; they both sound so Soulwax.

Instead why don't you check out the original version of Sprawl II, from 2010's Arcade Fire album, the Suburbs:

French pop rocks my boat...

OMG - Phoenix and now this?! French Pop Music is amazing.

Check out more of Concorde here

If you don't know Phoenix try this

Free Hugs

I first heard The 2 Bears on Annie Nightingale's show last summer, but then I completely forgot about them. What a fool I am, that's half a year of missing out on their fruity tutti tunes. I think I need to make up for lost time, starting with Bear Hug:

I don't know if I should be too harsh on Lethal Bizzle about his latest track. I was going to say something about jumping on the dubstep bandwagon with the wide bass for the track Not A Saint, but to be fair to him I think thats just the way UK hip-hop / Grim is going.

One thing is for sure and that is the video is shit, if you want a decent video check out M.I.A.s track from last month: Bad Girls.

The Current Pun

Data seems to have squezed the best and the worst of '80s rock into his tracks. Expect to hear a lot more from him since his catchy track One in a million was used in a car ad.
I'm not sure if like Data, but i do like his name, though it is quite similar to the ace Norwegian duo Datarock.

I'm getting pretty bored of crap DJ names, based on lame puns. As a half arsed DJ myself, thinking of new DJ names is something I do all the time (much more regularly than actually playing live), basing your name on someone else's just seems lazy.

Joy Orbison maybe a talented DJ but his name makes me think of a crappy tribute act, some shit pastiche of someone elses fame. Maybe you disagree, maybe you think Ceefax is a crappy name and I should shut up, let me know below, on facebook or twitter

Some good bands done some albums

I am disturbingly excited by the new of Montreal album Paralytic Stalks released last week . It's simply fantastic...

Next up, an old Exeter favourite Paddy Johnston & the love explosion did this short album songs on a comically small guitar which is lovely. You can download the tracks (for free) and read his blog over on his website.

Lastly, while we're on this theme - thought I'd slip in a mention of the bombay bicycle club - brilliant band I only discovered recently. They feel like a slightly less clean pheonix? anyway this is your eyes:

Zebra fucking Katz!

If you like your music low and unnerving them you will love this odd track by Brooklyn fella Zebra Katz, featuring Reddd Foxx:


This track is just as weird but a little less intimidating, infact it almost reminds me of a friend of mine...



I don't much out about this guy, but I'm pretty out of touch sometimes - I wouldn't be supprised to find out he's had a the Christmas number one and I wasn't paying attention. Anyway here is a mix of some of his tracks if you need more Katz:

Zebra Katz // Champagne // Mixed by DJ Teenwolf by Zebrakatz on Mixcloud

Jump up old school!

Happy New Year kids.

Check out DJ Yoda's updated take on some old timey tunes in this frankly insane track, One O'Clock Jump:
