Oh my god. OH MY GOD*. You haven't heard this one yet, have you? I haven't had a good chance to listen to those other ones you posted (except the original) but I can't see how they'd be any better. It doesn't even sound like it's a remix... when the production of a track matches a vocal that damn well, you know it's been done right.

Have to say this doesn't *quite* do it for me, but it's a fun little remix.

Do yourself a favorite and get this, Shaneus: Kenya Special Remix EP.

Did you ever mention this track, Shan? Can U (LNTG Muscle Mix) So good. Those horns hit you right in the heart. He also dropped this new one a few days ago: Love 'N' Pain (Late Nite Tuff Guy Rework. Pretty, pretty fire. And how about this soul mix he dropped?! Good lord.

I think I'm falling back in love with disco.

Miksushag: hope you enjoy :3 I know I went a little nuts, but eh. So much good music floating around now, just have to share it.

Hadn't heard that LNTG stuff! It's been a while since I've gone through his SC and for some reason, he doesn't mention on Facebook when he posts new stuff :/ Bang on about those horns though, sweet as hell. (edit: didn't realise the original of that was a Francois K production. Ugh, love that guy) I have a feeling that when the disco resurgence comes with the release of Daft Punk's new album, LNTG is going to be one of the big benefactors of it.

I hope so, at least.

BTW Fair enough on that remix... I suppose it probably helps that when I first heard it, there weren't any other remixes at all so all I heard was that, and just how different it was to the original (and how they managed to make the vocal sound like it was specifically for their version and not some song from the 80s).


PS. Guys, wanna know what I was listening to back in the day? I just stumbled across this track I used to (and honestly, kinda still do) love in a random, lost folder on my NAS. And you know, I don't think I'd have a problem with "trance" nowadays if it at least sounded different from everything else in the genre like this does. There's a vocal version as well, but IMO it cheeses it up too much.

Go on, laugh :(

True, absolutely true. I do like it, especially the way the vocals were treated, as it isn't just a bog standard treatment, but it's just a case of "I'd rather play the original."

Speaking of treatments, I finally got around to watching Disclosure perform "You Used to Hold Me" and fucking loved it. One of my absolute favorite classic house tracks treated with nothing but respect, just a proper remake of a fantastic song. It's like how you were saying with the Bush 2 Bush remix, the vocals just fit it so well.

Andy Moor & Adam White owned as 'The Whiteroom' - their song 'White Room' is one of my alltime favourites, you shouldnt be ashamed to be honest. Even if you don't like trance in general, you have to appreciate this for purely on production quality.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UEcwj1yNuiM

edit: Agree with what you said on newer trance, around 2005 the artists started copying each other and doing what the current trend was. At least back in the days you could tell an artist from another by their unique styles.

I might see them in June if lucky, can't wait to see them live. They seem really into their live set and thats kinda rare I guess for house ? They also need to do more remixes, the Artful Dodger one is an amazing banger, and they also did a great work on Jessie Ware's Running.

Oh, and earlier, I was bitching about costs of clubbing and festivals in Paris. Well I just found out about a new one, The Peacock Society (Weird name...). Pretty good line-up and 55€ for a 2-Nights Pass.

Yeah, that's not bad, TBH... but it errs on the side of being more generic than Someday IMO. Reminds me a lot of this:
Chicane - Strong in Love (Disco Citizens remix)
Man, Chicane was the shit back in the day. Actually surprisingly good live as well, but the festival I saw him at had the live drums mixed WAY too high :(

Holy shit, that's fire. I don't know how in the hell those kids are so switched on. I may not like every single thing they've done, but I can see where they're coming from with everything and respect the hell out of it.

But like I said, *love* that.

500 is a lot of people for me o_o. I like my parties *cozy*. Anything over 300 is too much, frankly.

What's amazing about NYC is that we're a big ass city with a lot of fans of this music, but the parties very, very, very rarely reach full capacity. It's one of the few things that keeps me here, knowing that the parties don't get nutso-bonkers unless it's a big, big name ticket.

Yeah, I agree... but this is small for the type of venue it's in. It's far from a boutique bar or club (and I obviously prefer those gigs WAY more, regardless of who's playing. Nothing like being able to shake the hand of/high-five the DJ when you're smashed) but considering it's a somewhat sizeable venue overall (this is just one room of it that's closed off) it should still give off the cozy vibe. There's not a lot of lighting in there, there's material draped from the ceiling to close it in and the room's lined with couches and other types of seats, so it's about as closed in as that sized room can get.

To give you a (honestly, quite shit) idea of what the room will feel like, this is the same room two years ago when I saw Robag play there.

FWIW, the set I just linked to is still far and away the best DJ set I've ever seen anyone do EVER. Nothing else has come close to pushing my boundaries and challenging my tastes/concepts. Feeling my head trying to comprehend the music without actively thinking about it (if that makes sense) was the weirdest, most pleasurable sensation I can remember. And I was stone-cold sober.

PS. Some brief footage of my favourite venue in Melbourne, onesixone. Notoriously hard to get in there (thankfully, I know people ;) ) but always worth it. Makes me feel like I'm in another city, like I'm in some exclusive place where only the coolest of people hang out. I never, ever feel out of place though. It's not the sort of venue where you go, see everyone's just on a whole other level of cool, relaxed and beautiful... you feel a part of it. Ugh, I know I'd miss it if I lived anywhere else.

My second favorite party ever (the first being Peter van Hoesen doing an 8 hour set at the Bunker in 2011, just a brilliant night, shook his hand and all at the end (was there for the full 8 hours)) was seeing Robert Babicz in a tiny little basement bar in Chicago with, at most, 20 people in the room for the entire night. I felt bad for him, especially considering it's Robert fucking Babicz, but he leaned into it and just gave us a hell of a time. At the end, he stepped down and mingled and was really casual and natural with everyone (his english was, at the time (2009), terrible) and it was cool as hell to just approach him and have a chat. Unfortunately, I had taken a decent amount of 2c-i a few hours prior and it didn't hit me at all until the moment I stepped up to him, so I had to leave pretty soon after that as I just got really, really weird...

Shaneus: still so jealous you've seen Robag.

I think both have their charms.

A small party with 300ish people in 1 room is indeed more intimate and also better for deeper longer DJ sets imo.

While a festival with 35.000 people is fun cause you have so much choice on where to go next, and ofcourse the 10.000 females in hotpants etc. ;-)

$40?! Christ! I'll pay it though to see those guys in Central Park! That's dope! Thanks for the Duke tip off, didn't know he was coming. Most likely wont be able to go as I'll be working a pretty high profile event that entire weekend... Fuck :(

Haha man, I'm used to paying $200-$300 for festivals, so $40 seems like a great price to me. Although I guess considering how many sets you get to see at a festival it turns out to be a pretty good deal.

In other news I uploaded a video from the Kaskade Redux show I saw last night at Cielo. That set was insane, I really wish he would stick to his deep house tracks when he plays major festivals. I saw him at EDC Vegas last year and it was all electro/progressive/dubstep. I was pretty disappointed.

Click to expand...
motherfuckinbrofist.gif

Yeah, I really dig it. It reminds me of when club music was really banging but not because it had peaks and troughs and sounded exactly the same as everything else. And there's a lot of his signature relentlessness AND off-beat/kilter beats/synths (see Traintracks)... ugh, just enough stuff to do your head in, like when a DJ fucks up a mix but is able to slowly reign it back in. Can't say I've ever heard it done in a commercial/club track before (at least, not a notable one) and it sounds rad as shit.

The old JLC is back :D

What the fucking fuck? $40 to see those 3 major fucking acts? 2 tickets bought right now no questions.

Duke Dumont will play in Philly in a few weeks! But its at what seems to be a gay club. I've never been to a "nightclub" and I'm not sure if I want to go to my first one to be surrounded by shirtless men lol.

I have absolutely no issue with gay culture and support gay rights in every shape and form. I'm just nervous to have my first time in a nighclub (only really there to see the DJ) be in a gay club. I'd be nervous about walking into a "regular" nightclub too. Hence why I've never gone. And I used the shirtless joke cause thats whats on the front page of the website lol.

Come on man, it's Duke Dumont! If not for yourself, do it for me - Finland never gets any good artists, such a shitty place.
