DJ's Having A Bath

2013-05-20T03:51:00.000-04:00

This is my bathtub playlist for Monday May 20th, 2013. For other great pictures of dj's having baths check out http://djshavingabath.tumblr.com/. I'm hopefully moving soon and I think that a bathtub is a must, it has been so long since I've played with bubbles.

The Saddest Show

2013-05-17T01:15:00.001-04:00

Couple great covers from Daughter and Jack White that are worthy of a post. Really good remix of Second Summer from RAC that caught my attention as a really fun track for this day in 2013. New EP from Sam Tiba is also very dope. Bit of a different vibe of music on this post but wicked nevertheless.

Head Trip

2013-05-14T19:30:00.000-04:00

I may have slightly overdone it listening to Random Access Memories just a few too many times yesterday. Hopefully I haven't ruined the album for me as I've learned over the years that you can definitely have too much of a good thing. Listening to a solid album or individual track is best in moderation. The good news is that I've got a lot of fresh material that I'm really into and I think you'll like.

DJ Left Shoe has a new track called Head Trip that has a strong summer vibe to it and is very laid back and chilled out. This track was made right when spring hit the city (Toronto).

Also loving me some Tiger & Woods, Flight Facilities, Bauer, Disclosure, Four Tet, Bicep, Simian Mobile Disco, Oliver $, Cajmere, Myth Syzer, Canblaster, Cashmere Cat, Jay-Z and R Kelly today.

Daft Punk Listening Party

2013-05-13T19:47:00.003-04:00

So as you have probably heard, the Daft Punk album leaked today and it is available for a listen on youtube amongst other streaming services if you can't wait for the proper release. Had a chance to give this album a proper listen on the train this morning and it has really exceeded all expectations for me. How is this even possible? The media hype surrounding this release is maaaaaasssssssssive. Expectations are so high, but our Robot Rock friends have delivered a real gem that has something for everyone. Random Access Memories is probably the coolest, most complete album I have listened to in over two decades. With the exception of slightly overusing autotune, the robots have really created a timeless piece here. Favourite tracks for me are Instant Crush, Lose Yourself To Dance, Within, Give Life Back To Music, Fragments of Time and Doin' It Right. Basically the entire things.

Grimes + Four Tet = Thing of Beauty

2013-05-12T01:26:00.002-04:00

The Four Tet remix of Grimes' 'Skin' is by far the best thing I've heard this week. Really wish this had a proper release but I don't think we'll see anything coming soon. Happy Mothers Day to all you ladies. My mom is my hero, she is by far the coolest and bravest mom alive. Now that I've moved to Australia and haven't seen here in what seems to be forever I miss her so much. Bisou Maman :) xoxo

Bigger Than Prince

2013-05-01T00:30:00.002-04:00

So so so (Yes 3 so's, they are that good) many good tunes here. Mostly rips from sets but really good stuff. Me thinks that the Nicolas Jaar Boiler Room NYC 2013 set is one of the best boiler room sets to date. I really recommend checking it out for something very moving. Couple mystery tracks ripped that probably won't have a proper release. New French Fries preview for Drums which comes across as acid meets bass. Track came from a really good mix for mixmag.net set with Paris's French Fries and Bambounou. Really cool new release from P Jam on Night Slugs and a super fly track from Green Velvet which is sure to be a hit because of the hook. New swag coming from the Sound Pellegrino store soon at snd.pe.

Absentee

2013-04-28T22:03:00.002-04:00

Absentee blog owner here, sorry for the lack of posts lately. Expect No Less is a new vinyl only label out of Paris that will surely make some noise. This is a new project brought to you by DJ Orgasmic from the Sound Pellgrino crew. It appears that expect no less is going to release tracks without the artists name and that they will be mystery releases for the first little bit. There is also a new Nightslugs release from P. Jam that doesn't have a preview yet that sounds super dope. Suepr cool preview from Jimmy Edgar that should make for an exciting release. Hope all is well in your world.

Snapbacks and Tattoos

2013-04-18T02:58:00.000-04:00

Best track title for 2013 goes to Four Tet for ''The Track I've Been Playing That People Keep Asking About and That Joy Used in His RA Mix and Daphni Played on Boiler Room'. Really loving me some Snapbacks and Tattoos today, you will too.

Not much to report from Melbourne today. Listen to music because it makes you feel good. If that doesn't work try listening to something different. If that doesn't work, private message me for suggestions.

I've always wanted to be able to see what my favorite DJ's look like while they are taking a bath. Now my dream has come true! http://djshavingabath.tumblr.com/. Thank you Nina Kraviz for being so beautiful and to all of you for supporting her. Shame on the asshole bloggers who don't understand TECHNO and make absurd claims that she isn't a real DJ. Your actions however have inadvertently created some great photographs. #BATHGATE

Australian producer Light Year got it right with his latest release 'Bliss'. Hope you have some proper speakers or headphones to enjoy this one because your laptop speakers won't cut it. This backyard booty bumpin' track got it going on. Happy Wednesday!

You Are My Destiny

2013-04-06T02:31:00.001-04:00

Anyone who owns a turntable should purchase the following: Paris Club Music - Volume 1. This is essential to all good record collections and should not be overlooked. So stoked to have a copy of Manaré's 'Riddle' and The Town's 'Dice'. The Clek Clek Boom crew are P A R I S. If you are ever visiting the city of lights and looking for a party make sure you check out The Paris Social Club for an evening of zoom zoom zoom and boom boom boom. So many good tracks below to go through, enjoy the lot.

Snow White

2013-04-04T23:48:00.000-04:00

Snow White has got her groove on, she too can walk like an Egyptian. Couple reworks that are quite soothing and something fresh from Com Truise if music designed for space travel is your thing. My favourite from the lot is probably the Animal Instincts remix. Happy Friday!

Shake That

2013-04-02T17:47:00.000-04:00

Not a lot of time to yap today so I'll let the music do most of the talking. For all of you who enjoy monologues in your house beats the new Play It Down release will probably be your thing. Happy Wednesday!

Jack

2013-04-02T04:24:00.002-04:00

In an effort to attempt to give the blog a bit more of a minimalist look I've removed all the bull shit. Any web designers out there who would be interested in redesigning the look of the blog feel free to get at me if you have any good ideas and the time.

I posted a preview for 'Jack' about a month ago and the EP dropped on Beatport today for those of you out there who are legitimate shoppers. The full length version is so very very delicious and tasty sounding. I think there is a a jack t-shirt that also went up for sale that looks pretty dope. For those of you who have been enjoying some of the Zouk Bass I've been posting lately here is the most delicious track ripped from the Buraka Som Sistema boiler room set. Ancestral Club's 'Zoudreambia' has so much dance floor potential. Couple other tracks in the neighbourhood of amazing I've discovered on Swick's Tripple J mix that are worth checking out. Grandtheft's take on 'All Gold Everything' is pretty cool if birds and loud music are your thing.

I've made a few fresh discoveries this easter weekend that I think you will all enjoy. Little bit of local love for fellow Melburnian Josh Jakq. Great track, solid cover art. Also been listening to a lot of Just Jam dj sets that are really solid lately. If you are into the boiler room you should check out http://dontwatchthat.tv/. They have pretty cool visuals to support some great sets. I discovered Applebottom on one of those sets and he has a some real solid groves with some great vocal samples. Cashmere Cat & Canblaster team up on a Pelican Fly release; is there anything cooler than that? Happy Easter weekend friends of mine, may your egg hunts be glorious.

Loving me some of that Zouk Bass this week. If you have no idea what I'm talking about by Zouk Bass check out this track from Stas. Super Flu has been making some noise and gaining popularity at an alarming rate on the blogosphere so check that shizzle out. Skream has dublove sounding low quality preview that is sure to please the people. Hope all is well in your world, keep on dancing tiger.

Ou est le Ham en Hamburger?

2013-03-23T00:51:00.002-04:00

I can't get Lunice's 'Hip Pop' out of my head today. If this track is a mystery to you, you should take the time to discover and enjoy it. But don't listen to the version with Young L because he ruined a perfectly excellent track. Just check out the official video with Snoopy for good times. I could have made this so much easier by just posting the link but that would ruin the adventure. Another great discovery if you are looking for some music to give you a little bit of pep check out Burka Som Sistema. Their recent boiler room set is pretty awesome. ZOUK BASS!
