James Harcourt - Galia Melon (ASTON SHUFFLE Remix / MALENTE Re-Edit)

Vance Musgrove & Mikah Freeman are The Aston Shuffle. Starting off they have a third member but as the oil and flightprices climb and climb they fire him. Well, two drunk Prodcuers / DJs are more than enough as I experienced when I was spinnig with them on New Years Eve in Sydneys one and only Chinese Laundry Club. Not without any pride I dare to say that hardly anybody knew them until they made that mindblowing remix for my "Killer Applikation" track out on Moonbootique (played by DJs from Tiga to Crookers). Until then they called themselves Muz & Mann, wich no doubt contributes to the fact that nobody knew them before.

However, Vance & Mikah are from Canberra, the capitol of Australia and are signed to Ministry of Sound down under. If you ask me this is one of the reasons for not too many people here in Europe having heard of them. Their stuff gets put out mainly in OZ. The UK Ministry or European branches don't seem particularly interested in releasing their stuff. Ignorant bunch of losers. You should check the Aston Shuffle mixes for Claude Von Stroke, Green Velvet, Pnau and their latest single "For Everyone" (incl. Stupid Fresh & MALENTE Remixes by the way). All of them are great, but hard to get over here - especially on vinyl.

In the land of the Kangaroos a double Mix-CD "Mashed Vol4" with Kissy Sell Out and The Aston Shuffle just came out. They were on a huge Australian tour all may. And now they are planning their first ever Europe & North America tours. So if you dig their stuff and you are a promoter or a friend of a friend of a promoter. If you wanna be one or if you wanna be one of the first to present The Aston Shuffle over here contact their booking agent ben.henderson(at)ministryofsound.com.au and get them to play your club. Do it. They are great DJs.

MELT FESTIVAL: "I'm melting away"-dj-mini-mix by dj supermarkt

Starting today we are going to post all kinds of music/stories about the MELT FESTIVAL in Graefenhainichen near Dessau/Berlin. We actually have the honour to finish the festival on sunday night, july 20th, which is nice.
I always call Melt "the only spanish festival in Germany", because i needed to see festivals like Benicassim and Primavera in Spain to understand, that festivals are not only about boys in black t-shirts with rockband-logos getting smashed, but can also be about girls or people like me and you...getting smashed.
Besides that, MELT still is a "friends"-festival to me, although it has grown so fast. Lots of bands return again and again (The Streets, Phoenix, me...), because the atmosphere is really special and relaxed. In recent years even the sun seemed to like the festival. Hey, we are talking about Germany!?
So lets enjoy the festival like it is before the english music-hooligans discover it...
This first dj-mix is actually a "FRIEND-Dj-mix": i collected all collaborations i could find, where Melt artists are remixing Melt artists, because that captures to me, what is so special about it. Team spirit. enjoy...

tracklist:

1. Intro: MELT(ing) away
2. FRANZ FERDINAND - Take me out (HOT CHIP rmx)
3. HOT CHIP - One pure thought (SUPERMAYER rmx)
4. UFFIE - First love (MR.OIZO rmx)
5. LUETZENKIRCHEN - Daily Disco (BOYS NOIZE rmx)
6. OPERATOR PLEASE - Song about Ping Pong (KISSY SELL OUT rmx)
7. THE TEENAGERS - Homecoming (DJ SUPERMARKT shremix)
8. THE EDITORS - Camera (DJ SUPERMARKT shremix)
9. BONDE DO ROLE - Office Boy (SHIR KHAN rmx)
10. EDU K - Hot mama (CROOKERS rmx)
11. BOYS NOIZE - Lava Lava (FEADZ rmx)
12. TOMAS ANDERSSON - Washing up (SAY HOOO! bootie)
13. Outro: still MELT(ing).....

BUNNY RABBIT soon @ berlinbattery party (31.5., Scala)

Next week we will have another berlinbattery party in Berlin/Scala together with Conny from Rio Club. We are really happy to have some veryvery special guests again. BUNNY RABBIT are from Brooklyn and they are an eruption of beats, rhymes, attitude and female power! They shout their rhymes about perverse sex, drugs, and rock n roll over some of the most starking basslines that come out of NY for some time. They combine the fuck-off attitude of PEACHES with the skillz of M.I.A. and the artschool-style of CHICKS ON SPEED and the politics of LE TIGRE. This will be an explosion! And - how cool is that - they are signed to CocoRosie's label VoodooEROS, where they released their album "lovers and crypts". This is REAL! See you there!

"The record oozes with slow grinding melodies, charming obscenities and homespun beats ready-made for dance club demolition." - VICE MAGAZINE

Dj Chernobyl Neo-Bailefunk-mix

Actually i met Chernobyl last year in Brazil in Belo Horizonte. We played on the Elektronika-Festival supporting LCD Soundsystem. He was involved in some project together with Mixhell (who are supporting 2 Many Djs right now). Finally, it ended up that I gave him files for a remix for the new single "Miss Pacman" on Exploited that is coming in middle July. Now, he is coming to Europe and we slightly got him in last-minute for our Party at Scala on May 31st together with Bunny Rabbit from New York.
This mix here was already posted in march at Discobelle, but since we have Chernobyl playing on our party at Scala and we dont have a current set from him, here is a little teaser of how his dj-set could sound like. You can also catch him live on air next tuesday (20.00-22.00 central european time/www.fritz.de) on my radioshow. He has produced the album for Bonde do Role (on the picture you see him and Diplo recording Ex-member Marina from Bonde do Role) and is also part of Comunidade Nin-Jitsu - a rough blend between rock, miami bass and electro. Actually, I am just remixing this band. Here is the tracklist for his Dj-set:

Boys Noize - Feel Good (MALENTE's TV Bombs Re-Edit)

There are things in live that are not very likely. If I asked "Who of you has been in bed with Madonna?" or "Who of you listened to the Boys Noize album in one go?" there would not be many "Yes"-answers. I bet my life on that. Don't get me wrong I despise Madonna and I love Boys Noize, but life as a pile of images to me is as boring as an album full of well-engeneered distortion. I'm kind of glad that with some of his remixes and his label Boy Alex proves that there's more to him than the album shows. But the real reason why I love him is for his DJ skillz. I saw him in Miami last year with the whole Ed Banger Crew (incl. Justice) and i dare to say he was better than all of them together. I have a thing for DJs I consider better than me I must admit. And I got a girlfriend so don't worry if you're a good DJ... Check "Mike & Charlie - I Get Live (Fatboy Slim Remix) to find the vocals I put on "Feel Good (TV On/Off)". And buy the Kitsuné Maison Compilations. All of them, because I forgot on which volume you can find the original Boys Noize track. Sorry

SKIBUNNY - remote control (DJ SUPERMARKT shremix)

I produced this shremix in the countryside of France, and somehow i feel, you can hear it. It's very relaxed electro-disco. Hope you like it. As the basis I used another song (as usual) and only recently Jack Tennis told me that the version i used already consist of another sample. So i sampled a sample of a song... (weird world this is).
It will be out on 7 Inch on may 26th. Skibunny is a duo from belfast. Marc used to be in a band called Olympic Lifts (we released on bungalow ages ago) and now teamed up with girlsinger Tanya. It's hard to describe their sound, i would call it floating "shoegaze-disco". Kind of RIDE meets ITALIANS DO IT BETTER... This is already their second single and they receive Rave-reviews all over. Listen to them and you will know why. Oh, and Skibunny is also a club, a dj-team, a label etc.. and soon maybe a football team, a burger place, a political party.... maybe.
The first one to send me the band name of either the original sample, or the song i used will receive a 7 inch from me!!!! (no, not you Jack!)

EUROVISION SONG CONTEST

Saturday, 24 May is the great Eurovision Song Contest Final in Belgrade. This year with the "No Angels" for Germany, a guy called "Andy Abraham" for the UK and: Sebastian Tellier for France!
The official Eurovision Song Contest website wrote:
"The eccentric entry from France - Divine by Sébastien Tellier - has one of the most interesting settings this year. Sébastien arrives on stage driving a golf buggy and presents his sung with the image of a black sun on the LED projections. Apart from the black sun on the projections, the dominant colours used during the French song are mainly green and orange. He is getting excellent help from his 5 backing singers - four female and one male - who help to lift the song. As the song is totally different from any other of the participating songs this year, it might attract lots of votes! It is definitely an unusual song for a Eurovision Song Contest stage - but then again the Finnish winners Lordi from two years ago had a unique stage presentation as well! It is the first French song ever though in the history of the song contest that is predominantly sung in English and not in French - something which made the headlines of all French newspapers some weeks ago! At the press conference after the rehearsal, Sébastien Tellier told the fans and accredited press that he will complete a world-wide tour after the Eurovision Song Contest, and that he thereafter will start considerations regarding a new album. A journalist asked whether there is a theme associated with Divine, since many all of his prior albums have had some kind of theme. To this, Sébastien replied that this single is about sex, sexuality and love. Despite singing a bit himself, Sébastien's backing singers performed Divine in front of the enthusiastic people in the Press Centre."
