Ohh My Head.. (Part 2)


Happy new year all! Hope you're enjoying the staggering hangover and worrying memory loss as I am. Har har. Cutting to the chase, I've heard very little in the last few months that's excited me and have spent a lot of time listening to older stuff. Above fresh and exclusive tracks, my highest priority for DD is posting tracks I consider to be quality tunes, so that's going to be the focus with whatever I can find to post. I'm both concerned and intrigued about where dance music is headed in 2008, though I'm sure things will pick up again soon one way or another.

OK, I am totally in love with the SebastiAn mix Trent posted the other week. Totally. Just to show that I mean business with this whole not being concerned with exclusives thing, here are a couple of quite old SebastiAn remixes, perhaps not as well known as some of his other stuff, which still really float my boat. Both are quite dark and dirty - I love the haunting strings and piano in the Mylo remix, shrouded with a layer of grimy distorted fuzz, and the overly butchered vocals in Walking Machine. Both are vinyl rips, I hope you don't mind.

Mylo - Paris Four Hundred (SebastiAn Remix)

Revl9n - Walking Machine (SebastiAn Remix)

Admittedly I'm really enjoying the remixes of My People, in particular the D.I.M. mix. He seems to be one producer who has consistently pushed out quality tracks for quite a while now, and this is no exception. Certainly the most club-friendly of the three remixes on the 12", it builds nicely into a mean rhythmic banger. And I guess it can't hurt to throw in an old groovy B-side and a repost of the super fun Hung Up / Down Down Down mash.

The Presets - My People (D.I.M Remix)

The Presets - Truth and Lies

The Presets - Hung Down

To take a momentary breather from glitchy electro, here are a couple of classic housey tunes which I've always had a soft spot for. Check out the very danceable Eric Prydz remix of A Bit Patchy and the uplifting and dazzling Axwell mix of 2 Million Ways. Both tracks I feel are quite well put together and have a really funky summery vibe. Just a bit of fun..

Switch - A Bit Patchy (Eric Prydz Remix)

C-Mos - 2 Million Ways (Axwell Remix)

So I guess this has been a sort of filler post, just to make sure the ball keeps rolling, but there's some stuff on the way that's really worth checking out so don't worry.

Happy new year!
SebastiAn is the most talented producer/remixer I've heard about.I just can't wait for the LP.
Your selection for this post is pretty good and your priority for DD made this blog one of my favourite over the months. Keep it up!
