Ohh My Head..

Fuck, after that hectic week I feel like I've been hit by a car. And I would know. Anyway, I'll kick things off with a repost of one of my favourite tunes at the moment at a listenable bitrate plus another nice new mix: the Oizo and Kissy remixes of Calvin Harris' 'Merrymaking At My Place'. It may take me months to get over the awesome grooviness, especially if a 12" release is around the corner that i can jive to in my room. The Kissy remix is more vanilla than I expected, but a more club-friendly tempo than the Oizo mix and it's still an ace song. Drug taking! Drug taking!

I was lucky enough to get my hands on the gritty new Passions remix of 'Home Wrecker' by Melbourne indie kids Damn Arms, hopefully with some more goodies to follow. They're supporting the Klaxons while they're over here as well as the Midnight Juggernauts on their Dystopia tour in August, which you really can't afford to miss if you live in Aus.

Been getting some great music in the mail, so I guess I'd better post some. My two faves this week have been from Janedge and MESH, from France and America respectively. 'You Sampled That' by Janedge is a powerful driving dirty electro piece, and 'I Want To Start' by MESH is a trippy up-and-down boomer. Both should be played very loud and danced to overly enthusiastically.

MESH - I Want To Start

And finally, a short and sweet mix by Hookie - Starfuckers resident DJ/celebrity/mover and shaker - should motivate you to come visit Sydney's best club night hosted at Club 77. Get the track listing here. Seriously, if you want great music which you clearly do if you're reading this blog *chortle* then fucking go there and don't look back. Unless you value your sundays..

Hookie - LESS HANDS, MORE RAVE!!! Chapter 1

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Daft Bonanza!

Sorry guys, rather than reupload this stack of files every time a hosting company decides they don't like me, i'll just link you to Kiyoshi's more comprehensive collection of DP live sets. I know when i'm beat :p

Check it out here

The following text is now a lovely waste of space:

And now, for your listening pleasure, I present (almost) every Daft Punk live/radio set I could find between 1996 and 2002. It includes two appearances on Radio 1, an early live set from March '96 (which is very poor quality I'm sorry, but it's a great insight into pre-Homework DP) and a fantastic set with DJ Sneak in Ibiza, 2000. I'll take this time to apologise if any of the info or dates of the sets are incorrect, as it was quite tough to get a hold of any details, so please feel free to correct me on anything. Also, I didn't add in the Alive 1997 album or Live @ The Rex Club '97, since they're both relatively easy to find. In fact, if you don't already own a copy of Alive 1997, then get it here before your life gets any lonelier! Here they are in chronological order:

Daft Punk - Live @ Even Further, 1996
Daft Punk - Radio 1 Essential Mix, 1997 - Part 1
Daft Punk - Radio 1 Essential Mix, 1997 - Part 2
Daft Punk - Fun Radio, 1997
Daft Punk - Live @ Twilo, 1998
Daft Punk - Live @ Cameo Theatre Miami, 1999
Daft Punk - Radio 1 Essential Selection, NYE 1999
Daft Punk & DJ Sneak - Live @ El Divinio Ibiza, 2000
Daft Punk - Live @ Radio Siglo 21, 2002

Phew! Nearly 9 hours of Frenchy goodness. Go get 'em, tiger!

And... sorry sorry sorry sorry sorry and a million sorries for posting a MySpace rip, but I find this song ridiculously irresistable and MUST share it, whatever the quality! Just surfacing in the last couple of days is Mr. Oizo's remix of 'Merrymaking At My House' by Calvin Harris and as far as I'm concerned it is the shit! It's certainly one of Oizo's grooviest works. See for yourself!

Again... sorry for the rip :\
