Who doesn’t like the Twelves… if you don’t know them you should get your dancing shoes on and maybe clean your house to this shit. These guys really get the guitar riff and use it like masters. Mixed with some amazing electronic keys, I can always feel what these guys are throwing down. GET DOWN ON IT.

Watch these guys get down and show you how its done!

This track is by far my favorite, the build is explosive leading to this amazing breakdown! Enjoy those little funky twists of the keys in there. Wait for it…..

Lets be honest working from home is awesome. What makes it better is getting to post to this site. As I explore the backlog of tracks that need to be posted here I run across a few B-I-S(Beats in Space) tracks that NEED to be up here.

Beats in Space is a weekly radio show hosted by Tim Sweeney in NYC on WNYU radio 89.1. Tuesdays from 10:30 till 1am he spins hot records and keeps the show rolling with guests from all over the land. This first track (a long one for you kids who need a lazy night away from DJing) is from some of my favorite DJs in the world. They are Irish, so i figured St Pattys day might be the best time to show off their skills. From the fabulous website “FeelMyBicep.com” comes BICEP

My second track comes from the one and FAMOUS “James Murphy”. This show was back in the early 2000s when James was relatively unknown in the big world but was awesomely famous with other DJs.

I wish I had a better quality source for this song, but this is all I could find.  Looks to be only released on vinyl, I’ll have to keep an eye out for this gem that I discovered at the No Way Back show on Saturday night, a bomb show that I showed up late and did not stay nearly long enough for:

Selected Label Works 1 & 2 – A Christmas Present for You

Dec 16 2010

This last weekend, I stumbled upon the compilation albums Selected Label Works 1 and Selected Label Works 2, by the Permanent Vacation label. I didn’t know much about the label or these 2 CD albums, but as I dived deeper into SLW 2 (I discovered the 2nd album first) I knew I had to find out more.  I was thrilled to find tracks and remixes by Woolfy and Tensnake, artists both of which I’ve mentioned before in previous posts.  Other favorites like Holy Ghost, Mock & Toof, and Junior Boys have remixes included on the albums.  Being a singles compilation, some might find it a bit weird to have the same track, albeit different versions, included on the album – but the way I see it, the boys at Permanent Vacation are just giving you the ability to decide for yourself which one is best.  Some of my favorites to enjoy:

Royal Beats

With work being dicks today and deciding to ruin my music scene on the interwebs, i am now resorted to scouring the blog-o-sphere to find tracks that will play across our terribly controlled internet. Well didn’t take that long. Found this guy to day “Just Some Kid” (great name). He is apparently royalty or decedent from such and has been spinning since he was 14 for royalty. I love the 2nd track of this long playing remix. Keep rocking kid.

Shows that is.  The first one started off Thursday night with Home Video. The show was quite nostalgic after listening to the band for years and only now getting the chance to see them live.  The real takeaway from the night was the opening band Kisses’ performance however.  I wouldn’t be surprised if they blow up the Indie scene with force.  The Lindstrom show is a bit hazy -- people have told me that I had a great time at the show, so I guess that’s my opinion on that.  Brought some disco into the mix with the No Way Back 1 year anniversary show at the very cool 222 Hyde.  DJ Conor was present and continues to pleasure with his modern interpretation of classic disco.  I was really teetering on a 4th tonight, but in the end finally decided to call it a weekend.  Anyway, the show that will undoubtedly be awesome, is that of Tensnake:

I haven’t dived much into Lindstrom outside of his remix of LCD Soundsystem’s Tribulations:

But with his upcoming show at the Mezzanine in SF, I decided to check him out with a little more depth.  I’m glad I did.  Can’t wait to see what he’s going to drop at the show.

Disco Thoughts

Matt and I have been discussing how Disco music is making a comeback…manipulated and rebranded in the indie dance genre.  But the fundamentals are still there.  Back in August, while waiting for Woolfy (himself being described as Space Disco) to play at 222 Hyde, a great local artist DJ Conor remixed a great Disco track.  While I don’t have the version he played (not true, I have a low quality recording I made on my iPhone…probably not worthing listening to but still decent enough for me to remember the pleasurable experience), here is the original:

Firefly – Love (Is Gonna Be On Our Side)

The saying “what goes around comes around” holds itself true in many different respects – apparently also in dance music!  And of course, the reason behind me making this discovery, Woolfy:
