Jacuzzi Killers

So many tracks to post in so little time and didn’t want to be on the computer much on the 85 degree sunny days we had.  Anyway, this is going to be another super post, its just easier for us to do 1-2 long posts a week then spreading them out.  If you don’t like it, sorry; if you do, you’re welcome. 

First up we have a little peice of genius by UK producer/remixer Grum.  This has been blogged a decent amount already, but there is no way I could not share this, its just too good.  Friendly Fires have never sounded so good and I love the euphoric breakdown about half way through. 

Friendly Fires - Skeleton Boy (Grum Remix)

Next up, I wanted to post that I have been loving alongside the summer-like NYC weather we’ve been having (until yesterday).  This time, Imogen Heap gets a somewhat minimal vocoded makeover from BK’s own Tommie Sunshine.  Such an upbeat, depressing track. 

Imogen Heap - Hide And Seek (Tommie Sunshine Acid Edit)

I also wanted to post something a little different, to give a bit of a plug to a great blog I stumbled upon.  It’s called Blog The Oldskool, dedicated to early 90’s Jungle/Breaks/Hardcore and everything related.  I always admire the niche blogs that do something a bit different than the masses, cause you know its all for the love of the music.  Anyway, here is one of my favs off the site, “Stimulation” by Intellect. 

Intellect - Stimulation

Next up, check out the latest remix from our Australian friends, Calling In Sick.  They have the rare ability to keep pumping out bangers that are in no way annoying or repetitive.  I don’t know how they do it, nor do I really care as long as they keep it up.  This time they take on Grafton Primary’s “All-Stars” and turn it into something that reminds me a bit of the first few Designer Drugs remixes (big compliment):

Grafton Primary - All-Stars (Calling In Sick Remix)

This next track I wanted to post, well, I’m not quite sure how everyone will feel about it but I like it so I thought I’d give it a shot.  This was sent to me by 19 yo 70’s rock loving Parisian who goes by the name of Adult Roy.  What I love the most about AR isn’t even his music (which is good) but the entire concept of his project.  The music is going to be the backdrop to a burlesque style stage production which will be performed live in a Parisian night club next year.  Not just that, but the themes of the music/play include murderous dragqueen mermaids, aztec gods, vampires, teen gangs, and much more.  I’m also a fan of the DIY bedroom production style, but then again, I don’t think this one’s for everyone:

Adult Roy - Aztec God

…and just to satisfy those of you who came here for somethin to put in your DJ set, drop this overlooked Proxy track:

Proxy - Destroy
