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:











And one for the road since we have some kind of blog love going about for the Aston Shuffle:

Peaches - Talk To Me (produced by Soulwax) video

Merrill Beth Nisker, better known as the artist standing behind the name Peaches, is famous for her explicitly sexual and provoking lyrics. Back in 1995 in Canada, no-one would have guessed what was the drama teacher going to become... Now, her songs are played and known in the electronic culture, as well as they have been featured in many movies like Jack Ass Two, Lost in Translation, My Little Eye, Mean Girls etc.
"Talk To Me" was produced by Soulwax, (which immediately won my sympathies, as I have a passion for Soulwax's productions).. and is a part of her new upcoming album called "I Feel Cream". "Talk To Me" is an amazing result of the combination between the little taste of Justice with it's steady heavy beat and the simplicity of the melody, typical for Peaches. Love it.
