Don Rimini is a French Producer/DJ/Banger extraordinaire. His tracks have that smash you in the face and take your wallet sound that we all have grown to love. You’ve probably already heard this song, but if not, check out “Hools“. And if you feel the urge, you can remix it! Also, make sure you pick up his Kick N’ Run EP, available now on Mental Groove Records/Delicious Gutters Records.

The up-and-coming Sydney based group Pomomofo has a fresh new indie track called “Islands” that will be released in October on their EP, In Super VGA.  French DJ, The Toxic Avenger, is known (by me at least) for his recent Playdoe remix, but he’s been around the circuit for a while now creating some hard hitting remixes.  Combine the two and you get this solid collaboration destined for playlists and DJ sets all over.

I’m not sure how alot of you are going to feel about this track, the lyrics are kind of stupid, and I actually didn’t like it at first, but now I can’t get it out of my head.  It is a collaboration between our favorite world champ turntablist from Montreal, A-Trak; Herve’, the UK producer with more aliases than most serial killers (The Count, Voodo Chilli, Action Man, Dead Soul Brothers, Speaker Junk, Young Lovers, Machines Don’t Care (part)…possibly Fake Blood?); and Canadian hip-hop-house producer/lyricist Cadence Weapon.  Sounds like an all-star line-up…and it is.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Our inbox has been getting hammered lately, but here are a few tracks that made their way onto my Ipod. 

First up, check out this track by Bipolar Badwise titled “Entwined“.  They are a three peice electro unit hailing from Melbourne, Australia who cite their influences as “Depeche Mode, Pet Shop Boys, The Presets and Cut Copy“.  Top quality production and that electro-rock sound Australia is famous for made this one a must-post:

Next, we have another from down under (big suprise), this time its Hundred and Thousands remix of Numero’s “Hit Pop“.  H&T mass cc’d just about every blog out there on this email, but we don’t hold that against them.  Nothing ground breaking, but definitely worth some space on your playlist:

Its Friday on a holiday weekend, so I don’t feel like posting all that much, but I just had to share this Sidechains track “Dr. Funk“.  I’m pretty sure its been out for awhile, but somehow it slipped passed my radar.  Reminds me alot of Daft Punk in their early years, if they had a little bit more blog influence.  I’m glad the Sidechains left their industrial metal roots to start producing this disco/electro and I can’t wait to hear more.  Check it out for yourself:

Disco has always heavily influenced electronic music, but it seems like with the last few months’ waves of blog releases, this has been more evident now than ever.  There are few tracks that I have been in love with lately; the 1st by Empire of the Sun.  EotS is half PNAU/Teenager and half Sleepy Jackson, and with that combo, I had high expectations.  Luckily, “Walking on a Dream” did not dissapoint:

Empire Of The Sun - Walking On A Dream

Next up, I have a track from Database’s Ugly Edit project.  I know, this has been blogged about by pretty much everyone and their 80 year old grandma, but there is one track that definitely hasn’t gotten enough attention.  Check out “Oh Right” by Midnight Martyn (who is actually part of Database):

Midnight Martyn - Oh Right

Designer Drugs has been busy in the studio lately making their signature pumpy NYC banger remixes. This Mission Control remix is no different, and that’s a good thing. Mission control is newly signed with Australian label etcetc, which also has PNAU and The Knife on their roster. Designer Drugs is touring as well as producing, so go check them out in your hometown!

So the new computer is up and running…I can now officially return to regular posting.

I’ve wanted to post this track for awhile now.  This is a remix that The Chimney Climbers did of Chicago hip-hop duo The Cool Kids track “Black Mags” not too long ago…and honestly I have no clue why it hasn’t gotten more blog love.  Both The Cool Kids and The Chimney Climbers are heavily influenced by 90’s hip-hop and electro, so its no suprise that these two go so well together.

…and the very different original track:
