So here are a two of my favourite chillout tunes from 07. Both of these are covers... See you in 2008.

My 07/08


As 2007 comes to a close I would just like to say a big thank-you to those who have supported and helped push me further than ever before. My biggest achievements being a runner up in the Triple J Remix comp for Bloc Party & also the kicking of this blog. At this time I have entered 3 more Remix comps and am yet to hear of my placing. 2008 could me another score or quiet possibly a nice partnership. I'm closer than ever to finishing my second LP "Yet to be titled", however I have completed my 1st Remix Compo titled, "Traces of Me".

EVERYtime EVERYdaY ANYwaY AciD


Love... This track!!! Its SO addictive, & I can't believe I didn't know about it sooner. Lucky I heard it twice over the past few times of heading to the clubs by Christoper Robin who spun it at the appropriate time on their DJ sets @ The Empire then later on @ Monastery. The Actual track which features the lyrics "Every time, Every day, Anyway ACID" is called The Cat... I know I was confused too. It took me a few hours to hunt this gem down, but I'm so happy I did. Its made by Dusty Kid from Italy. Those Euro's sure now how to produce great party tracks. The addiction arises more so when the high pitched synths peak up and down. This is one trip to have.

FAKER FAKER


Yep, my fellow Aussies, Faker are back with a NEW LP Be The Twilight, which to be honest is quite impressive. The Single of the moment is This Heart Attack and with Remixes by Teenager & Miami Horror you can't miss out. But i would have to say that I dig the Grafton Primary remix most. Tell me what you think....

W0tEvR Wednesdays:
Paper Planes without Guns


Its the talk at the moment... MTV cuts the Gun shots out of M.I.A.'s Paper Planes Video when airing. Why you say? Cause they are freaking babies who think it might cause yet another school shooting I bet. Anyway I think the song deserves praise. Its banging OK with me. What do you think? M.I.A. needs you help to stop the sabotage, here what she has to say in her blog.

& the UNEDITED video






The Ms. Róisín Murphy


Have you heard of Róisín Murphy yet? Okay, let me do the honours... She used to be apart of Moloko & after they split decided to stay afloat and release her own stuff solo back in '05. Now 2 years on Róisín has returned with a much deeper LP, Overpowered. Also being the name of the 1st track off Overpowered, the album brings all good things electro together (Think Robyn) with a hint of jazz & plenty of Disco. My standouts would have to be Overpowered, You know me better, & Pandora. Take a look at the cool clip below too. Visual arts is the key.

ps. Thanks Tristan over SexyResult for highlighting this chick out to me. If you head there you will find more REMIXes of Overpowered.

Sunday Arvo Session: Bleeps


Well I mean it, this arvo's Session is about the Bleeps, WHY??? Cause I found this band called STEED LORD thats the heck why. And they have a very cool Bleepy sound, think old NES games & and sounds of the bombs. Yep you've got it in the bag now. By the way, this Guys + one gal are from the little Iceland.

RE: VNDLSM


This post has 2 purposes, 1 being the apology to you readers who I have confused. Thanks to a fellow reader who corrected me. You see Vandalism is NOT... VNDLSM. LOL. I know crazy, I should have researched further. Have now. HAHA. SO just who are VNDLSM, well there are a duo of 2 guys from Toronto. ANd boy are they HOT!!! Head to their myspace pagge if you already haven't & have a listen to them...

ps. Sorry for the confusion once again.

YELLE'ness


The Hottest Chick in France is won hands down by the cute YELLE, born Julie Budet in '83 this chick knows how to put on a good show & I got the pleasure of seeing her when she preformed at the Parklife Festival in Australia '07. Her voice is perfect for all forms of electro & is remixed to death, but still No hate can be found. I myself am taking part in the Ce Jeu remix Comp right this moment and hope I get her attention. So to celebrate Yelle'ness I thought I would post some remixes that are floating around the blogging world.


ENJOY.

Yelle - Tristesse / Joie [Rolf Honey Rmx].mp3
Yelle -
A Cause des Garçons [Drixxxe RMX].mp3

WotEvR Wednesdayz: VNDLSM

Vandalism are just popping up everywhere with a new remix and surprising the crap out of me too. Just a little while ago the Melbourne guys were just releasing singles and had pretty good success with Never Say Never. Then suddenly out of the blue Vandalism mad some kick ass remixes worth a spin. SO have a listen to some of these goldies.

3rd face - Canto Della Liberta [Vandalism RMX].mp3
Yves Larock - Rise Up (Vandalism RMX).mp3

SEALed


What can I say... YES I'm hooked on System! Seal's new LP. From the Moment i heard Amazing the 1st Single off System, I had a feeling it was going to be a great album. Having been co-produced my Stuart Price, the guy responsible for the work on Madonna's Confessions LP, I'm sure System is going to take off and be a sure fire winner Internationally. Seal has really recaptured his elements and focused them all here!! The dance is present & the vocals are stunning!! Grap your copy off itunes now, just so you can get those bonus remixes.

Seal - Amazing [Thin White Duke Main Mix].mp3
Seal - Amazing [Kaskade RMX].mp3

Mondayitis Cure: LOTO


Once again, I'm finding myself blogging about the Portuguese guys Loto, for more than one reason. One being the fact that their tunes are so damn good on the ears!! & 2 because I'm hoping to do remix of one of their tracks. Which should be nice. I particularly love the track Golden Boys where their vocals get a nice work over, and sound a lil like the Evermore boys from New Zealand. So I urge you once again, NO I force you to get out there and get their LP Beat Riot NOW!!!!

In the mean time here is a taste of what you should have in your Music Library.

Loto - Back to Discos.mp3

Sunday Arvo Session:
Junior Boys


If your like me... Nothing completes a Sunday Arvo more then when your relaxing at home with some chilled out Electro goodness. Junior Boys cover this area very nicely with their fat bass lines, airy synths and floating vox. Don't GO to sleep on me!!! Hahaha. Before the days out I want you to have a listen to In The Morning, which has been out for some time, picked straight off their 2006 EP. ITM pushes all the boundaries of what an Electro/Pop band should be, which is why I have only ever heard these guys on Triple J, duh!!! Anyway to give you a quick snapshot of the JB, they are a male duo from Canada creating hype all over the Indie/Dance/Electro scene and have struggled over the years to get to where they are now. So support 'em and have dance away to this NOW!

p.s. Thanks to Streetkiss.com & Hipster Runoff for the Mp3s

Friday Flashback: Josh+Amiel=Puretone


A lil while ago... circa 1998 a guy named Josh Abrahams nabbed a chick, Amiel Daemion teaming up to make the underground hit Totally Addicted To Bass. Now jump forward a few more years and you have JA re-releasing the track under a new name Puretone for distribution in the UK & USA . Then before you know it the duo scored the number 2 spot in the UK & a number 1 in the USA Dance/Club charts. So where are the 2 now? Well Josh soon after released another single, but with less success. Then helped pave Amiel's debut solo album, Audio Out which only celebrated lukewarm success to the mainstream market. Later Amiel returned to the scene in 2006 with a new EP Be Your Girl, with remixes by Bass Kleph.

CCC have done over one of the tracks Back TO Disco to push once again music to another level. With a nice buildup that will have you exploding round the 1 minute mark, you really cant afford to miss this one. Electro/Rock GOODNESS all in one cookie.

Mondayitis Cure: Ivy


Whoa!!! What a weekend!! I got sooo drunk last night. Was a good one tho. Had a lot of sleep so I'm happy. But I still need to get my act together cause I got work in 2 hours YIKES!!! hehe. Anyway to get us all through the drag of Monday I've shifted the spotlight to IVY, the NYC band with memorable hooks and riffs. Most notably is the fact that half a dozen of their tracks have been featured in big time movies like Shallow Hal & tv shows like Roswell (ARHHH miss that show), Veronica Mars, the 4400, Grey's Anatomy, just to name a few.

Another Sunday Arvo Session Mashup


OK... I couldn't just sit back and let Tristan post his Mashup, so I had to work on mine and get it up here too. Now mine is a little bit older but I have tried to create a tune that is deep, bouncy and always electro... Combining most of The Cardigans Lovefool vox with Holes famous guitar riff from Celebrity Skin... tell me what you think!!

Can you image just goin off at the club to this track, I love the jerkiness of it all. So get the track, then let Tristan know what you think by heading over to his page.

Pre-Club Saturdays = Boys Noize


Make your Saturday dirty with German Alexander Ridha from Boys Noize with his track & Down and his Remix of Feist's My Moon My Man. Boys Noize tends to have this very heavy bass with breaky beats that make it a perfect way to start any party.
