Sunday Post

Seems like forever since my last Sunday Post and this week is a good week to get back on track. A wide array of style and talents are on display this evening from the Bloc Party remix by Alex Metric that's got that patented Metric sheen to D.I.M. & TAI's collaboration 'Lyposuct' that has been committing dancefloor arson in clubs all over Europe.

Throw in a dash bumpin breaks from General Midi for a veterans perspective and some Sharklslayer, Joakim and Whomadewho and you have the best playlist to blot out the blues of Monday all beginning with the radio edit style of the this Bloc Party single. [Images - Mike Mitchell]

This ones rolls along in a Falkish fashion but goes further into mainstream club territory but still logs the best Bloc Party remix I have heard to date.

Sidechains have always made warm and soft house music with an emphasis on disco setups and leads. There must be something about Spain's coastal breeezes and warm sunshine that showers this Hed Kandi release from Booty Luv. If anybody is planning a trip to Ibiza this summer wait until Aug 29th to go so that you can catch Sidechains do a set at the Hed Kandi night.

Crunk house DJ's Jack Stuart & Slade Templeton dropped this one last month but I only found it this weekend. Better known as Defunct! this 'Fokkin Lekker' EP was put out by Dandy Kid records and features a fellow Pottymouthed producer in Kyle Watson. Who crushes it as usual with his fidgety bit tortured wobble bass.

This one from D.I.M. & TAI hardly needs an introduction since it first showed up as a Youtube video via the Boys Noize blog with it high pitch build to the off beat pokes and jabs from squishy horn machine. Add in the pressed out drum kits and gigantic bass section and you have what ther Japanese Popstars refer to as a "Face Melter"

As I mentioned in the intro to the Sunday Post veterans General Midi have been rocking the British Isles and beyond for some time now without any of the accolades of the internationally acclaimed Prodigy's, Moby's, or Chemicals. Always in a style of funky breaks and drop kick hip hop execution their sound hearkens back to a day of simple electronic sound compositions with cutting edge technology driving it.

DL : General Midi - 4 Million Ways (original mix)
DL : General Midi - Kickbox (original mix)


Next up is Joakim with arguably the best example of why I adore him. Eno/Byrne style rock melodies dropped over top of a spongy house kick with Stephen Hawking voice editing. Creeeepy Cool!

DL : Joakim - Love & Romance & A Special Person (original mix)


'So Sincere' is the new EP from Sharkslayer who keeps making interesting drum and bass tracks and calling them electro. Surely I don't mind the split personality as it is the perfect synergy of the two styles.
