Do tell me if you think this blog is getting a little repetitive.. Sometimes I feel that way, and I seem to be writing about the same artists and producers all the time. But I suppose its my blog, and about the music I like.. so I guess its bound to happen from time to time. Im doing it again right here with some more from Bang Gang DJs, Riot In Belgium. I mentioned a few of their forthcoming releases in the last post, but don't worry theres more. They have got a new mix comiplation 'Mashed 3' out on Ministry Of Sound Australia sharing the spotlight with fellow aussies Tonite Only. Im not that fond of the Ministry to be honest not in this decade anyway, but this compilation looks quite good. It looks to me that MOS obviously had some influence on the tracklist, making sure some of the more commercial tracks and some of their own artists were featured but nevertheless the tracklist is very impressive for a MOS release. Riot In Belgium's appearance on the next Surkin release on Institubes is looking a little nearer, and remember that his own 12" release 'La Musique' is out now on Relish and available @ Juno.

Dont Ask Why, but production duo Georgios Panayiotou and Mother Markzbow weren't happy enough with the major success of their last album 'The Warning' as Hot Chip, they are now opening the gates of Booji Boy High too with the latest 7" to come from DFA. 'Doubleshaw' is a twisty, bouncy release, not new rave... but something even newer. 'Doubleshaw' by Booji Boy High is out now on DFA and available to download on iTunes, and also on plastic @ Juno and Phonica.




I got a bit excited last week looking at the Annie Mac tracklistings on the BBC Radio 1 website. A small error lead me to believe there was a new Justice track that I hadn't heard of! So I immediately went to listen again to the Klaxons' minimix where it was palyed (P.S. For another Klaxons DJ mix go check out Fluokids where they have the latest Miam Les Fruits Mix from the ravesters). Anyway clearly by the sound it wasnt by Justice, but a track by Mr. Elastik called 'Justice' and from his 'Justice EP'. Sigh.. nothing to do with the Parisian duo at all, but a bit more searching lead to me this EP and I wasnt completely dissapointed. This is a very impressive EP from a formely unknown artist, who turned out to be the same South African guy you may know as fidget-house producer The Bulgarian! (Check out the Slutty Fringe blog for an awesome fidget mix selection, plus he has a forthcoming release lined up on On The Brink). The first track 'Angry Again' has a sort of minimal-tech feel to it, but then uses an acoustic bassline to further fuck things up (in a good way of course), track 2 'Justice' is a driving techno treasure, and lastly 'Under A New Sun' is probably the most ambitious of the tracks using minimal-fidget and accordian type sounds. The 'Justice EP', remember nothing actually to do with Justice.. is out on Second Session and you can download along with other tracks by The Bulgarian from DJDownload.




Here is a loco little remix of the hip hop classic 'Jump Around' by Irish-styled-hip-hop legends House Of Pain. This electric remix by Micky Slim has been played loads by Annie Mac on her radio show, and its a very simple yet very effective dancefloor destoying track. Im not usually that keen on remixes that breakdown to the original track and BPM, cos it can sound quite tacky, but 'Jump Around' is a classic so this works very well and should get everybody jumpin. This better be on white laebel soon.




Next are a couple of mix sets for you. First from friends of Electric Zoo and an awesome duo of producers to keep your eyes on.. Shadow Dancer. Ive posted some of their work in previous posts, and I love their forward thinking sound. They've recently completed mixes for The Longcut and Holy Hail and with more and more DJ and live gigs building up for the guys, they have been practicing their mixing skills. Paul passed one my way to get a taste and I was told he hasnt touched his decks in over 2 years! I find that hard to belive as this mix is just smashing!
