Thought I'd post this one before the club DJs find it and ruin it for everyone. My fondnes of Armand Van Helden has been up and down over the last five years to be honest, but nevertheless he still makes great club music. Back in the day I was into more funkier electro and club music, so I loved his hits like 'Funk Phenomenon', 'Flowers' and the anthemic 'U Don't Know Me'. He remained in my good books when he came back with 'Koochy' that scratched-the-fuck-up Gary Numan-sampling little gem. But after that he slipped down my ladder when 'My My My' became what it is today. Maybe its just because Ive had so many shit drunken nights, in boring clubs dancing to that crap. But right now I think I would enjoy dancing to this track, but if any of them useless DJs start to play this.. I know i will absolutely hate it. So enjoy it while you can!

I think we've all heard and enjoyed SMD's mixes of W.A.Y.U.H by now but I must admit I was a little dissapointed not to find their remix on the the 7" or CDS release for The Rapture's new single. I hope there'll be a following 12" with the remixes, also hopefully containing this unspected remix by Claude VonStroke. This is available as track 2 on the CDS and is a a little more of a minimal electro workout compared to the other remixes. 'W.A.Y.U.H' is out now on 7" and CDS and available to but at most record stores including Juno.

Ive always liked Ben Watt's Buzzin Fly label. It always puts out quality compilations, and Justin Martin one of the labels best artists never dissapoints me with his productions. His 2003 release 'The Sad Piano' is by far my favourite release from this label, and such a great soulful house number. Ok I know some of you will be thinking right now... Soulful? eh? Well just listen, this aint no shit funky house your thinking of and I can only praise his beautiful work. His latest release 'The Fugitive' may be more suited to some of you though. Id say its more of a a tech-house production but theres still that feeling in there that gives this track a more captivating and blissful character. 'The Fugitive' by Justin Martin is out now on Buzzin Fly and available form Juno and Phonica.

Some of you may have already heard of Buraka Som Sistema, a Portugese project producing innovative 'Kuduro' music (meaning Hard Ass or Stiff Bottom in Portugese!). Yeah I had no idea either, but apparantly its an energetic, uptempo type of African Dance music orignating from Angola and Buraka Som Sistema are updating the beats with modern electronic influences. There tipped for success with a new EP 'From Buraka To The World' now released on iTunes, and have similarities to acts like MIA and Spank Rock. The 'From Buraka To The World EP' by Buraka Som Sistema is available now to download from iTunes.

Staying in Portugal for now, a visitor to this blog pointed me in the direction of Moulinex another Portugese bunch who produce some commendable filthy electro similar to that of Guns'N'Bombs or Boys Noize I dare to say... There are some Demo tracks available on their MySpace if you're interested in finding more, and there's even a mighty fine mixtape up for grabs too!

In other news, it seems a few people actually liked my Daft Punk VS Yeah Yeah Yeahs remix. Ive seen someone post it on their blog, and thanks to DJ Paul V who even played it out on his LA radio show! crazy huh.
