Yes We Want More!!!

It's finally hit the streets!!! The Aston Shuffle's releasing "Do You Want More" on Hussle Recordings with a bunch of delicious remixes from Alex Gopher the Subs and The Aston Shuffle, yes, they remixed their own song, seems to be popular like with Van She's Vemixes. Let's skip the bullocks and get right to the point, here's a taste of their new release, slightly disappointed, I expected more out of it, but your opinion is your own, so check it out!

New Years Top Ten!!!

I recently went to this party in Rotterdam, club Watt, possibly the most depressing and disappointing party I've ever been to. It was supposed to be some kind of New Years party, on the 10th of September, don't bother asking me why, it was a sly attempt at humour by our host Eastpak and the highlights of the party were supposed to be Hot Chip, followed by Goose, who I expected nothing less than a night to remember. Hot Chip started up with "Ready for the Floor" remixed by Soulwax, I believe it was a special edit and it had my hopes high, following this amazing track came a continuous clamor of minimal music that sent me, disappointed, to the smoker's terrace hoping to smoke a joint while waiting for Goose... Around 3am, ther minimal still pumping, I decided to ask the Bouncer whether Goose had died or something, to which he replied that since there weren't enough people they weren't coming, so I left.

The point of all this is that it reminds me of posting a top ten, since Soulwax's remix of "Ready For The Floor" is definitely in there.

Here is what I consider a decent top ten, in no particular order:

N.A.S.A. Gifted (feat. Kanye West, Santogold, and Lykke Li) Video

One of the songs that is on my "Golden hits" list :D I'm never gonna be tired of it. So here's the video, which is as cool as the song itself. Kanye West have always been trying to stand out of the RnB crowd and all the music television's bullshit that's been flooding us since the television was invented. He's videos, his sounds, his outfit, and his lyrics have always been different. This clip is a perfect example of Kayne's sense for originality.

The combination of the artists Lykke Li, Kanye West and Santogold, was pretty unexpected, but very successful indeed. N.A.S.A. (North America/South America) is a project ran by the duo of Sam Spiegel (Squeak E. Clean) and Ze Gonzales (DJ Zegon). Those two guys are responsible for this cutting edge collaboration... and IT'S AMAZING! The video is a combination of bizarre-spacey-futuristic-innovative-transforming animation makes is absolutely unique, thanks to the enormous crew of top producers, designers, directors, animators, etc. P.S. I don't know why, but this reminds me of Karl Grandin and his wicked designs (check out previous post).

Note: listen to the lyrics :)

The Aston Shuffle's Gone Mental Slackers!!!

And it's the Aston Shuffle yet again delivering another remix that'll really rock your boat, it rocked mine, this time they went nuts on Full Mental Slackers' "Auto Riot", turning it into another of their signature remix, lots of pitch bends, nice synths, and those little vocal cuts that remind us of their remix of Nu-Coalition a while back.

Always More And More

If you've been to Yuksek's myspace in the last while you would have heard his remix preview of Autokratz's "Always More" from there forth coming EP I think, "Down & Out In Paris and London", it's been on there for a while but the song itself seemed to be nowhere to be found, so, as soon as I layed my hands on it I felt the need to post it.

His signature vocoder and synth hits, along with his little piano solo's gives this song a really Yukseky feel that reminds us he's just been getting better and better lately, evolving his style into what seems to be close to Daft Punk's "Robot Rock" with a lot of tweaks and tricks, and without the boring builds that seemed to take forever :D

Another track I really felt the need to post here was The Aston Shuffle's remix of NASA's "Gifted" which I gotta say really hits the spot on my playlist, especially around the drop at 3.30 or something, making it really worth the wait.
