Where the FUCK did this song come from? And how much did he have to do with the production? Sure, it's commercial... but it's pure, unadulterated dancefloor fun. I fucking love it.

Oh, I'll be reposting this on the next page, too... it deserves it.

im actually almost done a really cool (well i know I WILL mix with it) edit of this. great song! i'm definitely excited for this album.

Great! Make sure you post it here :)

FWIW, a lot of people are saying that it has a Yeah Yeah (Bodyrox/D. Ramirez) vibe to it, but to be honest it reminds me much more of a few of Mason's early tracks. Far from a bad thing.

Me too.


I currently can't stop listening to these songs:

Sleigh Bells - A/B Machines

Such a massive and raw tune. Oh and btw. it's the good quality version. :D

Ou Est Le Swimming Pool - Dance The Way I Feel

Black Kids + Pet Shop Boys = Ou Est Le Swimming Pool. And that's not a bad thing.

Muchuu - Somebody Tell Me

Totally like her voice.

Fenech-Soler - Stop And Stare

Totally like his voice. :D


Young Empires - Rain Of Gold

hmm,I'm not sure this is the right place to ask but can you guys recommend me house electronic songs/bands where the melodies gets you high.
Something similar to Basement jaxx - Raindrops/Jus 1 kiss or September(Phat and Small remix).

This is totally the right place, lol. What you are looking at is turn-of-the-century disco house. Daft Punk is an obvious recommendation, also check these out for more of a lighthearted, uplifting, summery vibe:

Roger Sanchez - Another Chance
Stardust - The Music Sounds better With You
Afro Medusa - Pasilda
Armand Van Helden - You Don't Know Me
Powerhouse - What You Need
Junior Sanchez - B With U
Gambafreaks - Down Down Down
Dubtribe Soundsystem - Do It Now
Junior Jack - My Feeling
The Love Bite - Take Your Time
Planet Funk - Chase The Sun
Bob Sinclar - World Hold On

Proxy - Vibrate

It's giving me serious "Destroy" vibes, not bad I guess. I like the cowbell.

Also did anybody hear A-Trak's Dirty South Dance 2 cd? How did you guys like it? Once again, I fucking hated the rap samples. But the mixing was great as usual.

ive always loved shinichi osawa and digitalism so my tastes might overlap with yours but i'm not sure.

stuff i like as well that may be comparable are maybe MSTRKRFT and Justice. I'm trying to think of more not-obvious ones but i'm stuck at the moment. Maybe try Yuksek as well. The Yuksek remix of "I'm a Rope" by Tommie Sunshine has always been a favourite of mine.

Try looking at some Alex Metric too! My favourites by him are "Deadly on a Mission (Alex Metric Remix)" and his remix of Phoenix's "Lisztomania".

Hm, maybe this question is kinda inappropriate for this thread, but whatever. :lol

Anyways, one of my favorite CDs ever is Before the Storm by Darude, and Sandstorm is an absolutely amazing song for any situation :lol I remember a couple years ago I found a CD that was basically a compilation of Sandstorm Remixes, like this one. But looking for it now, I can't seem to find anything about it. I think it was just lik 7-8 remixes of Sandstorm. I know how stupid that sounds, but I remember most of them being kinda awesome.

Anyone know what I'm talking about, or am I crazy? :lol

Am I a "hipster" for liking the so called "witch house"? I recently started listening to some of the artists that produce such music, finding it rather enjoyable. I love the noisy spacey atmosphere. It's like listening to drone, but in a different form. Posted this and like two other links in the June music thread.

BestiMIX 23 RAMADANMAN

Bestimix 23 is a biggie, a blistering, exclusive session of upfront bass-heavy pressure from one of dubstep’s leading stars and brightest lights, Ramadanman.

One of the founders of the ever-influential Hessle Audio label, David 'Ramadanman' Kennedy has not only been at the forefront of the most exciting sound to emerge from the UK’s clubs for years but has helped shape its trajectory. A DJ since the age of 14, beginning with deep house and hip hop and progressing to jungle, Rama’s dubstep epiphany came after being inspired by a Mala set at FWD back in 2006.

Since then Rama has racked up scene defining releases on labels including Soul Jazz, Tempa, Aus, Critical Music and Hessle Audio, the imprint he co-runs with Pangaea and Ben UFO, as well as remixing the likes of Ragga Twins, Scuba and many more. He is also heavily involved in organizing the Leeds night Ruffage as well as co-hosting the now infamous Ruffage Sessions weekly internet radio show on Sub FM.

With fans spanning the dance music divide – including Ricardo Villalobos, Skream, Francois K, Kode9, Gilles Peterson and Rob da Bank – Ramadanman’s bright future is all but assured.

Trust us when we say this exclusive Bestimix is something special, it is...

If you go to the link I posted you can listen to one artist. It's easier to listen to it than to explain it. It's just very atmospheric electronic music with some dub and bass and whatnot. Listen to the people that they are following and you'll get some more.

You can watch some videos from Master Suspiria Vision: http://vimeo.com/user2940588; it's 70's horror movies + samples. :D some are nsfw

Nah, the lack of MIDI interface or decent keys pushes it too far into the novelty category for me. I'd rather a Mopho or the Doepfer Dark Energy or something equally compact but way more kick-arse..

It'd make a sick filter though.

just a little GAF early invite to my latest mix. this one is prog house, long mixes, slow builds. its a bit of a change from the norm but it felt nice to get out of my system. lemme know what you think. ( my girlfriend already told me she hates it :lol )

I liked it! It was perfect for easier listening. I'm terrible at rating it, but I will listen again tomorrow and let you know if it will get in the regular rotation (Bang Bang Disco was hard for me to leave, I really loved that mix.)

Only getting it for novelty :) It's price point is ideal for that, too... it can be picked up for around $100AU, compared to $4-500 for those others you mentioned. Sure, it's a toy, but a cool one!

It's only the cost of a (cheap) night out!

My friend who also wants one reckons it would also work really well as a Flava Flav-style necklace. I was more thinking belt buckle.

exactly how intended it, a bit of a palette cleanser. I found that this one had been nice to throw on and gap out.

The Flying Lotus mix is not listed but it is by far the best set, starts at 1:25. The Joy Orbison set would have been best but fuck MCs.

Took a listen to this over the weekend, since it's quite a bit along my lines of style. I'll admit I haven't heard a set from you in a while (I think the last one I d/led was the one that introduced me to Dragonette-Competition), but since then I've noticed your mixing has improved TONS. The mixing in this is smooth as silk... track selection is pretty good, dug the Pryda song on there. Is it possible I could get a tracklist?

FACT Mix 161: Fantastic Mr. Fox

Wolverhampton might not quite be Brooklyn or LA when it comes to musical heartlands, but it’s been represented well in recent years by Goldie, Alexander Nut and Actress amongst others. The latest musician from the city to impress us is Fantastic Mr. Fox.

Real name Stephen Gomberg, Fantastic Mr. Fox came to our attention with a remix of Untold’s ‘Yukon’, released on Untold’s Hemlock label last year. More impressive was Sketches, an EP for the Black Acre label that featured four incredibly intense tracks, full of blinding colour and over-heating circuitry, not to mention a superb Sbtrkt remix.

A split 12” with Pariah, a new recruit to the legendary R&S label followed, as well as a remix of Zed Bias. Later this year, Fox will release the follow-up to Sketches, the Evelyn EP, and he’s just been announced as US tour support for the xx, whose Jamie Smith he’s currently collaborating with on a series of new tracks. You know the way people are talking about James Blake and Mount Kimbie right now? That’ll probably be this guy next year.

His FACT mix features new material from Fantastic Mr. Fox, Pariah, Airhead, Sully and people we’re not allowed to mention. Turn over the page for an interview with Gomberg, where he talks in-depth about his solo music, his work with Jamie xx and more.

http://mp3.factmagazine.co.uk/FACT Mix 161 - Fantastic Mr. Fox.mp3

1. Misel Quitno – Pull it Out Somewhen (Dimlite’s the Helmut Grokenberger of this Remix)
2. Illum Sphere – Titan
3. Fantastic Mr Fox – If I
4. Brandy- Angel in Disguise (Fantastic Mr Fox Refix)
5. Rudi Zygadlo – Manuscripts Don’t Burn
6. Sepalcure- Down
7. Airhead- Mikola Bottle
8. Fantastic Mr Fox – untitled
9. Stateless – Aerial (Dark Sky remix)
10. Fantastic Mr Fox – Over
11. Gorillaz – Superfast Jellyfish (SBTRKT remix)
12. James Blake – CMYK
13. Pushing (Sully Remix)
14. Zed Bias – Two Sides feat Tawiah (Fanatastic Mr Fox Remix)
15. ??? – Beat For

FACT mix 161: Fantastic Mr. Fox


Fantastic Mr. Fox, tell us about yourself. What do you do, where are you from?

“I’m from Wolverhampton and have just finished a History & Sociology degree at Manchester University. I’m heading back to Wolftown for a couple of months to sort my life out, finish my EP off and apply for jobs back in Manchester.”

How did you start making music, and what got you into it?

“I started when I was 14, just making beats for the first six months or so, then started having a go at making full songs. My older brother had already been producing for a couple of years and taught me the basics once I started showing interest in it. I also got really into hip-hop at the same age, so was pretty obsessed with learning how to make different drum sounds and how to manipulate samples.”

What do you produce on / with?

“I use Cubase sx3 on a PC. I don’t have any hardware but planning to get a synth sometime soon.”

You said in The Fader that your favourite songs are ones that are emotive and also make you nod your head, like ‘Straight off the D.I.C’. I can definitely see that with stuff like ‘Sketches’ – how do you go about getting that balance between intense emotion and the dancefloor?

“I think making stuff at 130-140 and having sub bass as a constant feature usually makes stuff reasonably dance-floor. Although with ‘Sketche’s, I think more than any other song I’ve made- I did try and make it dance-floor friendly. Before my Hemlock and Black Acre releases I’d only ever really made hip-hop so it’s been fun the last year or so to try and strike the balance between the emotive hip-hop kind of stuff I used to make and music that can work in clubs.”

Were you a bit pissed off when the film came out, because it made it harder to Google you?

“Haha, yeah the film comfortably knocked me off the first page of google. I came up with the name when I was about 16, then started seeing stuff about a film being made a couple of years later so it was a bit late to change my myspace name then. I enjoyed the film though and the Dahl estate haven’t tried to sue me yet so it’s all good.”

You’re working with Jamie Smith from the xx, how’s that going? What sort of stuff are you two making together?

“We’re making a beat each, then swapping back and forth to develop them. I was massively into his Florence and the Machine remix last year and he’s got some amazing solo stuff coming out in the near future. It’s in the early stages, but both tunes are likely to end up a mixture of the kind of stuff we’re both making at the moment.”

And you’re about to go on tour with them too, right?

“Yeah, I’m going on tour with the band to America at the end of September to play in between bands and at after-parties. I was completely shocked and honoured to be asked – I’m a big fan of their music and of Jamie’s solo material so really looking forward to it.”

Going back to your own productions, what do you have coming up, release-wise? And what can we expect from it, compared to ‘Sketches’?

“I’ve got a new EP coming on Black Acre towards the end of the year, probably late October. The EPs going to be called Evelyn and it’s quite different from the Sketches EP. There’s a couple of rough version of songs from the EP, but the title track, which I made a few weeks after this mix, probably differs the most from my first EP. There’s also a Zed Bias remix I’ve done which will hopefully be out at some point and some other projects under other names.”
