Mars Jack Beats Remix

Thanks to Kid City Blog we have a radio rip preview of Jack Beats remix of ‘Mars’. I’m liking it, staying true to the orginal and using some warped glitchy synths. Looking forward to the full release as I’m sure you are.

 

FAKE BLOOD – MARS (JACK BEATS REMIX) RADIO RIP

Little Break

We’re taking a little break from all things wobble and dirt to delve into the tropical, minimal and techy. Douster continues to impress me with the variations on his sound. We’ve got three Douster tracks quite different in style. ‘King Of Africa’ is basically a remix of the title song of The Lion King. It’s a really happy summery track which doesn’t go over the top. It would obviously have a strong afrobeat and he cuts the vocals up to make a real ear pleaser, I literally can’t stop listening to it! ‘Tappse’ is more maximal with a solid house beat, cheeky synths and a smidgen of wobbly bass. The remix of Busy Signal is quite similar to ‘King Of Africa’with African influences, Jamaican singing and a tribal beat. The difference is the stabbing high synth which Douster executes perfectly.

DOUSTER – KING OF AFRICA

DOUSTER – TASSPE

BUSY SIGNAL – (DOUSTER DAGGA REMIX)

The new single from Momma’s Boy released on Sound Pellegrino is called ‘Wedouwedou’. It’s another housy bleeper like his last single ‘Give it up’ which we loved. Equally loving this one and check out the remix by new Dutch house phenomenon Kid Kaio. Download Kid Kaio’s stuff here from Kid City blog, if you’re into all this kinda stuff  you’re in for a treat.

MOMMA’S BOY – WEDOUWEDOU

MOMMA’S BOY – WEDOUWEDOU (KID KAIO REMIX)

Boy 8-Bit has made a cover, not a remix, of ‘Mars’. He’s taken the famous synth melody from the build up of the original and done it in his own style from scratch. Most of the track is based around this and then for the last minute he cleverly incorporates the nasty monster noises and gurgles with the melody. Very clever, great track.

FAKE BLOOD – MARS (BOY 8-BIT COVER)

 

Another Sharsklayer dub remix. And not a minute too soon! His dub version of Digital Manges’ ‘Manges’ is an absolute stonker. This one’s slightly more laid back with a funky feel to it (Daniel Haaksman is proper funky!) and some hollow metallic bass.

DANIEL HAAKSMAN – POBUM COCO (SHARKSLAYER DUB)

 

This tune is completely nuts. Probably not one you want to listen to when you’re trying to relax. There’s a crazy percussive sound which is flung all over the shop and some great sounds put in there to devastating effect.

NROTB – DROPLET

 

Again not that relaxing. Harvard Bass is another Sound Pellegrino artist producing minimal stuff which is borderline fidget house. Whirring sounds and a solid house beat give me this impression. A real minimal thumper.

HARVARD BASS – CAKED

 

Round Table Knights have dropped their much anticipated Belly Dance EP. These guys are hotly tipped for the new era of dance and its a great EP. In the meanwhile we have a cheeky Mowgli remix for a little taster.

ROUND TABLE KNIGHTS – BELLY DANCE (MOWGLI REMIX)

 

R!M!E!!!!!!

Australian geez R!M!E sent us a couple of tracks which are definately worth a post. We’ve also got his remix of ‘Pon De Floor’ and a mixtape. I can’t quite put my finger on his style as the three tracks range from fidget/wobble (remix of Fake Blood) to tech house (‘Hit n Run’) to tribal house (remix of ‘Pon De Floor’), although tech and tribal can very much overlap as genres. His mix has a great range of genres including fidget, dubstep, tech house and even a bit of Jimi Hendrix!

Big Names

Dance blog kings Crookers are back with two new remixes. The first of Fever Ray has a slightly minimal tune with a strangely catchy hook and a thumping bass drum. The second of Tiga’s ‘Beep Beep Beep’ includes monotone distorted bass and high ravy synths. Great stuff.

FEVER RAY – SEVEN (CROOKERS REMIX)

TIGA – BEEP BEEP BEEP (CROOKERS REMIX)

Big tune awaiting from Lee Mortimer andLaidback Luke. We only have a sneaky preview, but enough to tell you that there’s a funky wobble monster on the way to tear your house down! The other Lee tune is a remix of Franz Ferdinand is a house version of the original but still very much enjoyable with cheeky synth lines and a thumping beat.

LEE MORTIMER & LAIDBACK LUKE – BLAU PREVIEW

FRANZ FERDINAND – WHAT SHE CAME FOR (LEE MORTIMER VOCAL REMIX)

Fake Blood’s always on fire. The new remix of The Gossip brings the Fake Blood signature sound and uses the vocals excellently. Also get your hands on their superb EP by buying it with the link below!

THE GOSSIP – LOVE LONG DISTANCE (FAKE BLOOD REMIX)

BUY FAKE BLOOD – FIX YOUR ACCENT EP

Sorry that picture is a bit intense, but then again it is Hostage with some new tunes, INTENSE! ‘Badman Sound’ really lives up to its name with whirring mental bass and ravy synths. Hostage has truly switched to the afrobeat as many producers have. It also shows in his other tune ‘Hanging’which is more funky with an old disco sample and a bleepy bendy synth.

HOSTAGE – BADMAN SOUND

HOSTAGE – HANGIN

More Essential Tunage

Yet another post with no theme but the awesome power of dance music. More new brilliant tunes for you to blast through your earphones at full volume, let the nation be a hearing impared nation!

Fake Blood is probably one of the most sort after artists on the blogosphere. He even released a fake remix (of Darude-Sandstorm) to the blogs and they still hype hype hyped it. Luckily being Wizards which are Better, we saw through Fake Blood’s gag and even managed to laugh with him! HAHAHA! His new remix is not fake, but Fake Blood (i.e. fucking beaut). Once again captivating us with a georgeous melodic hook using his definitive Fake Blood synths and more, ultimately producing a, dare I say it, melancholic track. Amazing variation and just a wondeful tune.

CALVIN HARRIS – READY FOR THE WEEKEND (FAKE BLOOD REMIX)

 

Another blogosphere lover is Major Lazer. Boy do we love it.  Now here we have five remixes of ‘Hold The Line’ taken from Mad Decent blog, they’re all freaking awesome. I’ll go through them quickly my genreising (I know its not a word) each remix. Skream: Very minimal afrobeat/dubstep. DZ: Dubstep/breakbeat with heavy, jabbing bass. Edu K: Minimal dancehall/afrobeat. Toadally Krossed Out: Interesting take on DnB using drum rolls. Audio Dakoos: Hyper dubstep with excellent variation.

MAJOR LAZER – HOLD THE LINE (SKREAM REMIX)

MAJOR LAZER – HOLD THE LINE (EDU K REMIX)

MAJOR LAZER – HOLD THE LINE (AUDIO DAKOOS REMIX) >>>FAVE!

 

Who would have thought that Lee Mortimer’s remix of  ‘Rockerman’ by Foamo would ever be challenged. Dem Slackers did! And what a job they’ve done. The original wobble ryhthm, changing the tune and fucking around with it superbly!

FOAMO – ROCKERMAN (DEM SLACKERS REMIX)

 

A1 Bassline is always capable of producing wobbly bangers. But I do feel that his last few remixes (quite a few) have been quite samey in the use of his classic machine gun wobble sound.If you’ve been following his work for the last few months you’d probably know what’s coming just before the drop. But hey, this track is awesome no doubt, but what happened to the days of ‘Bad Man Horror Theme’, probably his best track. If you have no idea what I’m on about, then you’ll definately love this track anyway!

GARY GO – ENGINES (A1 BASSLINE REMIX)

 

BONUS!!!!

Now we don’t usually have ‘Bonus’ tracks on this blog. But seeing as all of the above are brand spanking new, I thought that a track nearly a year old wouldn’t correlate. Its an old Mightyfools remix I found and I love it, amongst all their other stuff. Bouncy, bassy and brilliant; the least you can expect from probably my favourite artists.

JACKINORI – BA BADA (MIGHTYFOOLS REMIX) 

ok long time coming so what..yeah?!

i haven’t posted in fucking ages so here’s a bigg’un. my excuse……..i’ve been busy organising the first wizards are better night. taking place in london on the 9th of july>>>>we’re bringing all our favorites along. MUSTARD PIMP>>STEREOHEROES>>DEM SLACKERS>>KLOSE ONE. be sure to be there. and there’s much more to come!!!!  NOW // MUSIC>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

i’ve been loving my dubstep at the moment even venturing into the depths of matter to attend RAM records>>which was insane>>benga and plastician blew me away!!! (but i swear if  i hear anymore fucking chase & status i think i’m gonna pee blood…….. yeah saxon’s good but every other fucking song!) so here’s plastician’s may 09 mix featuring exclusive VIPs aplenty and some serious bass. and, also on the dubstep flavours we got gutfucker (version2) from stenchman. a huge huge portion of your daily bass allowance.

PLASTICian may 09 mix

i’ve also been getting highly excited about the sound coming outta this one. GTronic. who has been featured recently but since then we’ve found a brilliant original, slasher, which comes full equipped with  GTronic’s already standout hollow roar sound. HUGE!! and a remix of foamo’s ‘everything cool’ probably my fav. of all the gtronic tunes i’ve been able to get my hands on….catchy vocals, a huge drop, this song is every bit the dancefloor destroyer.

GTronic//SLasher

…………………………………………….

FOAMO//everyTHing COol (GTronic DIRTy reMix)

we’ve also got a preview of  the new lee mortimer and foamo collaboration which is absolutely huge. it’s name is, suitably, ‘it’s going down’. however, it does sound real similar to the rusko remix of day’n'night…but, sick none the less. along with a 1.30 version of UFO (k-hole bass riddem)!!!!!! i cannot wait one more minute for the UFO ep. not one more.

LEE mOrtimer & FOAmO//IT’s goiNg DOWn

……………………………………………….

jACK BEATs//UFO (k-Hole BAsS RIDDEM) (1.30 PREVIEW!!!)(REMOVED ON REQUEST)

…………………………………….

and yet more. i’ve been loving the remixes that have come out of the kick it ep by ct burners & jubilee, released on the nightshifters label. there’s a superb squire remix and a superb donna summer remix. the squire remix has all that one expects but having never heard donna summer before i was pleasantly surprised. another tune that’s had me double checking my ipod again and again and going>>’gotta remember that’, and i did. so good.

CT burNers & jUbiLEE//kiCK iT (sQuiRE of GOthOs remiX)

CT bURNers & juBILee//KIck It (dJ dONNA suMMEr remix)

maTH hEAD feAt. iLLVIa//comE to mE

………………………………………………

and finally here’s a little treat that i found on hostage’s twitter. it’s called pissing about and it’s sick. a bouncy, bleepy number that even slips into a bit o drum&bass at the end. sexy. AND the fake blood remix of animal by miike snow. what a song!

RAFFERTIE STRIKES AGAIN!

yet again raffertie amazes me. he’s improving every day through a rigorous schedule of dj sets around the land. he’s recieved massive support from radio 1 experimental (i think thats what 2-4am is called) and the VIP version of his song stomping grounds is just absolute proof of his insane talent. seriously listen to the laugh right at the end. pure insanity…..i give you…………………………

RAFFERTIE – STOMPING GROUNDS VIP 

it’s absolutely insane, an evolution in his sound, such an improvement and an absolute stomper… he builds churning dubstep wobbles into a cacophony of bassy wobbles and cut up vocals……and it’s made me so happy because….i’m gonna see him on the 6th of february. CHEW THE FAT. corsica studios. fake blood, foamo, a1 bassline, raffertie!!!!! sure to be a great one. four insane artists. what a line up! enjoy raffertie. and also as a bonus here’s i only wanna be with bass by the amazing squire of gothos. another fine song. built with a spectacularly cheesy vocal hook and lots and lots of bass. 

the squire of gothos – i only wanna be with bass

Just Fidget Please!!

 

since the emergence of the so called “fidget” or ”fidget house” scene, its become somewhat of an addiction for me to listen to these certain tracks on full fucking volume ALL DAY. the phrase was supposedly coined by jesse rose and switch as a joke and it comes as no surprise that it has been questioned as a classification of the glitchy electro which has benn pioneered by the likes of crookers, the bloody beetroots, herve and fake blood  over the past year(ish)……oh and obviously jesse rose and switch. for me it’s by far the most defined sub-genre in the massive expanse that is dance music. with its wobbly, rythmic, manic synth sound and bouncy electro beat, the one word that sums it all up is FIDGET. It’s music for ADD kids, it gives you so much and keeps you so excited for so long, leaving you with an unforgettable feeling of ecstacy and, of course, it is perfect music to dance to. here are some fidget tracks which i’m overplaying at the moment, obviously some have already been posted (everything by MUSTARD PIMP!)

sound of stereo – evil panda 

the best 2 words to describe this track are bouncy and circuslike. What’s not to like.

shinichi osawa – the golden 

this track is on the extremely talented jap’s album “The One”. a powerful, dirty fidget track.

a1 bassline – bad man horror theme

FINALLY A GOOD QUALITY VERSION! one of my favourite all time fidget tracks. IT NEEDS NO EXPLANATION, JUST GET IT.

don rimini ft. verb – pussy stay on my mind 

 you can always count on the don to pull out a lovely sounding fidget banger! this track just another reason to believe in him. i do……….

hostage – lighter

a trully wonderful tune. an essence of commercial dance but thats the beauty of it.

OH SNAP!! – i’m too fat to be a hipster (mightyfools remix) 

confession: I listened to this track ALOT in the last few months of 2008, so yeah i’m not playing it that much nowadays. The fact that it is such a fucking fidgety track and one of my favourites tunes, forced me to put it on. watch out for Mightyfools. partyjunkies is they’re new EP which sounds very very good with its essence of bassline. AND THEY’RE DUTCH!….weird. BUY MIGHTYFOOLS PARTYJUKIES EP!! …….its definately worth forking out some money for this one. the EP includes they’re own fucking sick originals, PLUS remixes by AC slater, heavyfeet, OH SNAP!!, boemklatsch and liam vizzle.

other artists to sink your teeth into are (obviously including the ones mentioned above) bryan cox (crux Records has alot of good stuff), lee mortimer (a.k.a. Sawtooth Sucka), stereoheroes, foamo, mikix the cat, jeff doubleu, tits & clits, heavyfeet and hijack. and just in case you haven’t been following this blog, MUSTARD PIMP (the best of the bunch).

wizards.2008.electroplaylist

happy new year

this is our list of the songs that have soundtracked our year, the songs that have kept us dancing and kept us amused and amazed!!! it’s been a fucking good year for electro. to be honest electro is a bit of a lie……there’s fidget, wobble, house, bassline, techno but yeah no drum and bass & dubstep……they’re different. but equally sexual…..well not drum&bass. but you get the idea. it was pretty impossible but we managed after a long session. a few artists missed out by a whisker, like bloody beetroots, who have been consistently amazing but not quite. anyway i hope you enjoy these 18 bangers (not in any sort of order oh god that would have been hard!) and feel free to tell us what you think.
