A Party in the Making

Right around now... maybe a little earlier, I'm starting to think about the perfect weekend mix... The recipe will depend on the forseen events. Without knowing what my weekend has in store, these three will definately be included. I am tickled to present a new Bag Raiders track! You might recall the most epic party jam of 2009, "Shooting Star"? maybe? If not, I added it below for those a little behind the curve...
Bag Raiders / Way Back Home by reesindiemusic

B.R. set the bar unreachably high with Shooting Star... Instead of trying to top it, it appears they reinvented themselves into what I thought would be Cut Copy's follow up album... Their timing has been perfect because Cut Copy appears to be reinventing themselves as some sort of electronically infused Beatles... It all gets a little confusing, but the moral of the story is that the Austrailian Electronic scene is a complete orgy of creativity... and is full-tilt radical right now. I couldn't resist to put this song on the blog... because it has inspired countless dance parties with just me and Savannah and deserves to be spread to the four corners...

I've been marinating a number of Fenech-Soler tracks as of late and really enjoying their music... then I crossed paths with MudgeMix Favorite Alex Metric's remix of an Fenech-Soler track and it left me speechless... Seriously got sweaty by listening to it!!!! Patience is a virtue and its fruits will be reaped approx 2 minutes into this Beast of a song... After an intense build up, this track UNLEASHES in true Metric style with pianos, the echoed vocals, the computer bleeps... Without further ado... enjoy!

sweaty huh?

Back with some Heat!

Primary 1 - Some obscure DJ who likes primary colors and making semi-uncomfortable/weird tunes that are infectious... I'll start you off with a no-friggin brainer... The Shoes, two scruffy looking hipsters from France (aha!) give P1 the remix treatment, throw some computer automated voices, a falsetto in the corus, a couple synthesizers and a nice baseline and you have a the perfect feel good summertime jam!

THE SHOES Rework for PRIMARY 1 "Hold me down" by THE SHOES

Onto the next... caveat: slightly weirder because its a purer strain of P1, although not totally uncomfortable because this is P1 giving an Alex Metric jam the remixover...

It Starts- Alex Metric (Primary 1 Cover) by Primary 1


Last, but DEFINATELY not Least is Chilly Gonzalez with a track that I couldn't help but share. The downloadable Chilly Rap version is awesome, albeit crude is thoroughly enjoyable. Unfortunately not safe for younger audiences or the more refined listener.

Chilly is new to my world but is one of those artist who has always been behind the scenes makin things happen for years. Classically trained in piano, this producer/writer/artist was the main contributor to Feist's album The Reminder (Highly Recommentded), which went gangbusters and has a number of other credits including collabs with Erol Alkan and Boys Noize...

ENJOY!

this one will make you wiggle

Alex Metric - Rising to prominence in 2008 and pretty much taking over in 2010, this guy couldn't be more on top of his game with both his remixes and original material, offering his unique spin on quality Electro Party jams... First one up will bring you from 0-60 in a matter of seconds...

Next up is his interpretation of what I previously thought was THE perfect jam back in 5th or 6th Grade... Second only to Coolio's "Gangster's Paradise"... but a close 2nd at that.
