Solidisco

I haven't posted a lot of disco/filter house lately because I quite honestly haven't come across too many killer releases.  Check out this new project out of  Western New York called "Solidisco".  Still fresh out the gate but they got a pretty sweet sounding groove.  There first EP is coming out on DJ Ayer's label 'Young Robots' and they got a pretty sweet mixtape posted below.  Justin Faust remix below is also another great disco house track for those of you who started following the blog because of my love for all things disco house.  I know I've kind of gone away from it for the last little bit so I'll make an effort to try to promote a little more in that direction.

I'm also in loving the next Marble release from Surkin.  You can never go wrong with Deep Space Orchestra and a couple other goodies that make your bum bum shake shake.  Torro Torro was also giving away they Country Club track for free but have seemed to take it down, that is going to be huge. They are playing in Guelph @ Tabu Thursday night which should be huge.

Don't Forget To Phone Home

Can you believe the kid from ET is 40?  I think that may have been the first movie I saw in theatres when I was a tyke, the memories..... Speaking of memories, I totally forgot about Mehdi's remix of 'To Protect and Entertain' last week while mourning, one of my favorites.  On a brighter note, Dark & Stormy have a new release out next week along with another brilliant release from The Sound Pellegrino, this time in the form of a 'Spell'.  I'm feeling like football has really cut into my musical time over the last couple weeks so I'm going to make an effort to post more often moving forward, and maybe do a couple proper album reviews.  Hope you kids have a better then ever weekend.

EdBanger shared another Mehdi mix today from a little after Dilla passed away that was a sort of tribute.  It's awesome you will like it or we can't be friends.

The Funky One

I'm really digging the new Harvard Bass & Bart B More preview.  It has a real London to Paris but chilled feel to it.  For those of you who don't know London to Paris by Mowgli, get on it as it is a killer track.  New Zeds Dead, some Dragonette, another sweet Adam Port edit and a couple other solid vibes to close out the last weekend of summer.

R.I.P. DJ Mehdi

I woke up to some of the saddest news this morning when hearing of the tragedy that is the passing of DJ Mehdi who was probably my favorite dj/producer on the planet.  I felt so privileged to shake his hand and get a couple words with the man, once in Miami @ WMC in 2010 and again in Toulouse later that year. The man was a saint, role model and will be greatly missed by all who knew him.  My heart goes out to his family, Riton his musical white brother from Carte Blanche and the entire ED Banger crew.

You can grab his last summer mixtape 'Tunisian Summer Mix'  that was dedicated to the people from his ancestors country of Tunisia here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=8PKV7NY6

Gun's Don't Kill People, Rabbits Do

How the peeps doing this weekend?  For my local friends in the Hamilton/Toronto, if you don't have plans to go check out TIFF maybe take the time to take in the best Hamilton's Art community has to offer at  area the one and only Super Crawl.  Full details can be found here http://www.supercrawl.ca/.  Musical acts such as Broken Social Scene, Junior Boys & Jacques Greene are just a few of many who are playing free shows Saturday  There is also The Canadian finals of the WORLD DMC DJ championship are taking place.  James St N is a real special street that struggled for a couple years but is slowly turning into one of the coolest spots in Hamilton.  If you can't make it out to the super crawl make sure you check out an art crawl every second Friday evening of every month.  Here are a couple previews of some solid up & coming releases.  Have a great weekend boys and girls.

School's Back

I saw the best Facebook status yesterday and decided I needed to share it with those of you who are feeling old and slightly jealous of all the kids going back to school   ".... if u miss going back to school ... you're not making enough money ....".

I'm still on a Botnek kick these days, loving this 'The Sound' track!  That's the sound of the police! I haven't heard anything from Mumbai Science in a while, this Dr Gonzo remix is pretty sweet.  For something totally different check out James Talk's latest edit from Prince's 'When Doves Cry'.  Hope all you kids are having a great Frosh week, giv'r.

It Is Not Safe To Cross


My Saturday selection for you from moi.  Hamilton's own Junior Boys have a pretty sweet remix from my two favorite bears.  A real outside the box moombahton remix by Kill Them With Color takes The Weeknd's hit 'Wicked Games'to a very different place.  Alex Metric has an album coming out shortly with the coolest remix of The Beastie's 'Sabotage'.  This remix out on Southern Fried shortly is also sound pretty good.  Have a great weekend kids, party safe.

Azari & III makes four.  All I learned here was that I can count to four.  Adam Port's play it down release is also pretty sweet rework/remix of a track from 'The Weeknd'.  Solid preview to what should be an excellent weekend.
