Feb08 Track Allowance DFA DC Recordings Joakim Holy Ghost! and In Flagranti
March 9, 2009 in Music Hey... so I am going to post my favorite DJ tracks every month with samples courtesy of Junodownloads. If I'm not making mixes I should at least be sharing the tracks Im feeling, right? Facebook readers click through to see the flash audio player.
- Morten Sorenson - "Start Something (40 Thieves remix)" - Solid throwback jam with a smattering of catchiness and some vocal samples you might find on a Morgan Geist bit. Not exactly a big stand out track, but functional party starter or transition tune.
- IN FLAGRANTI - "I'm Sorry, I'm Terribly Sensitive" - This guy must have had a few bad nights in the red light district. The vocals are what I would expect to hear in a tranny bar if I was to accidentally injest hoarse tranquilizers. The pouty protagonist laments the displeasures of love and romance over a typical In Flagranti dark-disco bit. Very Tenderloin.
- WOOLFY - "Oh Missy (Whatever/Whatever remix)" - This song is just rad. I love the hook. I almost played it out already, been stuck on repeat. Have a listen. DFA doing no wrong lately.
- MARKOWSKI, Vincent - "Dirty Capsules" - More SERIOUS drums and bass at house/disco temp that I have come to rely on from DC Recordings. You could mosh to this or do the hipster hair flip. You choose!
- Scotty COATS & WES THE MES - "Double Fisted" - Actually, this just about falls in the same category as the above DC recordings track. Major bass line. The distinguishing factor is that the whole track sounds like my head got dunked in water and now Im hopping one leg trying to empty my ear. Some how this is a good thing? I dunno, have a listen. Go DFA!
- THEY CAME FROM THE STARS I SAW THEM - "Moon Song (Holy Ghost remix)" - I heard this first on the EPIC Aeroplane mix for Resident Advisor. Space flight by way of restored vintage american cars with a disco ball for a moon is the best way to describe it. But not in a Kavinsky Coachella way. In a "I never go out, but have a lot of italo stuff on vinyl and don't like MP3s."
- Matthew DEAR - "Pom Pom (The Juan Maclean Acid Overhaul dub mix)" - A preview of the absolute awesomeness of Mr Maclean's new album. Driving acid licked track with the bombastic deep voiced vocals he is known for. Proclaim it Juan.
- KARMA - "Beach Towel (I:Cube Cosmix Marathon remix)" - MASSIVE slow burner. Starts out as what seems to be a typical Balearic fair but then in comes the i:cube TECH and things get REALLY interesting. This is a beautiful winding morphing lush tune.
- ROMAN IV - "The Apple Tree & Me" - Ever wonder what would happen if you fused together a tech-house master and some throwback drum&bass vibes ah-la Dilon&Loxy / Cylon records? You would get this. Rinse-able.
- Joakim & The Disco - "Love & Romance & A Special Person" - What planet does Joakim live on? Seriously... Something just isn't right. In a good way. And this track is LACED with it. Alice in wonderland love story.
