Another Spirited Comeback

Finally organised some new hosting, so you'll see things popping back up over the next week. So let's just power on and pretend nothing happened.

OK, so basically, Hey Now are kicking the shit out of Sydney weekends. On the DJ side, they dominate parties and turn clubs into mental asylums full of kids going completely insane. On the producing side, their remixes are fresh, summery and oozing with the light hearted yet intense party vibe that their live shows are known for. They've got a couple of new remixes of Lost Valentinos and Grafton Primary - both killer Sydney bands who you should definitely check out - as well as an extended version of their Gaywatch Megamix which was posted here a while ago. Here's the tracklisting. Seriously, if you're in Sydney, come along to their gigs and roll on the floor in pleasure. Also check out their first remix posted here.

Grafton Primary - I Can Cook (Hey Now Remix)

Lost Valentinos - 17 Deaths (Hey Now Remix)

Also, check out this recent tune from MESH. It's taken me forever to post it.. but I wanted to share it as soon as I heard it. The thing that grabs me is the blanket of distortion that's so close to being unmusical, yet it's not. Although I've been slowly leaning away from the whole Justice crunch-the-shit-out-of-everything trend, this is a bit of a different and really pleasing approach.

MESH - New York City

Yep.

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.

Janedge - You Sampled That

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
