Everybody needs Oh Shit! & Night Drugs

The other day I posted a bunch of Diamond Cut remixes and one of the remixes was of Oh Shit! & Night Drugs "Everybody Needs". A pumping house track for the dance floors. Unfortunately we had to remove the original track after receiving a mail from Sean, one of the two guys in Oh Shit!. He goes under the name of Dirty Seaner and the other one is Devoe. They are based in L.A. and are told to have a kind of bizarre live act.

Instead they wanted us to post the promo tracks for their upcoming EP "Everybody Needs" that they release together with their dj friend Night Drugs from Montpellier in France, so we are happy anyway.

The EP will come out exclusively on Beatport on March 17 as a special WMC release from Velcro City Records. The remixers backing up the release are not a bad posse for sure, what do you say about names like Diamond Cut, Galactik Knights, Fabian and The Phantom's Revenge. So this is what everybody needs...

Another great video!

If the last posted was a funny and colourful one, this one is stunning. In one shoot they manage to create this fantastic video for, originally from Chicago but nowadays LA based, OK Go and their tune "This Too Shall Pass" from their latest album "Of the Blue Colour of the Sky". Indie with a big scope of Prince.

John Waters or Hard Ton?

I was so glad today, first of all I woke up feeling so much better from my long lasting flu (hence my five-day absence) and in our inbox we got an email about this disco queen and John Waters character of the 21st century from Venice; Hard Ton on Gigolo Records. I'm a big fan of early acid house and Giorgio Moroder so this guy is a very nice discovery for me.

Yes, it's the artist himself impersonating famous cover of Grace Jones album Island Life for his EP "Hard Ton" and their music is inspired by Duran Duran, Justus Koehncke, Giorgio Moroder, Terre Thaemlitz, Madonna and early acid house, well I don't care I just listen to their wonderful sound made by using, exclusively, analogue and vintage gear from the 303, 606, 707, Oberheim DMX, Korg Monopoly, MS20...

Hard Ton - Earthquake

If you wanna hear more from Hard Ton just check out his MySpace or wait for the EP "Hard Ton" coming out 15th of march. Meanwhile check out this amazing video for "Earthquake":

Gemini Club

Hailing from Chicago, the birth city of house music, is indie electro/dance punk trio Gemini Club. They formed as late as July last year, but have moved places since then, creating quite a buzz with their energetic music and great live shows (as evidenced by the video below).

They are currently working on remixes for as distinguished acts as The Vanish and Housse de Racket which will be out this month. They have played on-stage with other great bands, such as Tigercity, French Horn Rebellion and 2020 Soundsystem, and they have upcoming shows with Hey Champ and Database at The Empty Bottle on March 28 (oh, how I would kill to go to that) and Two Door Cinema.

Check out the live video of "Ghost", which will be included in a future release, and my two favourite tracks from their "Future Tidings" EP.


Gemini Club - Mary's Day

Gemini Club - Mirrors

To finish off, here's a half hour mixtape of Gemini Club so far.

And a great video...

...from Darwin Deez. Funny, colourful and most of all playful. Be happy!

Fresh stuff from Diamond Cut...and some older...

One of Tracasseur's finest and also one of the most frequently blogged acts here, Diamond Cut is actually releasing remixes in an impressive pace. We can't hardly keep it up with him so now it's going to be a little sum-up of his latest remixes.

The other day we got one in the mailbox from our great friends over at Work It Media. It was a great and kind of slower remix from Diamond Cut of a new young English duo named The Candle Thieves, who are having their first official release with Downtown Records (Major Lazer, Miike Snow, MSTRKRFT, Santigold).

The Candle Thieves - We’re All Going To Die (Diamond Cut Slow Jam Mix)

The Candle Thieves - We’re All Going To Die (Have Fun)

Another beautiful remix is the one recently made of Sydney based Radio Ink's "Wish U Were Here". Fine craftsmanship by Diamond Cut once again. The track is not to mistaken with one of Sweden's more embarrassing tracks from the 90's by Rednex also named "Wish U Were Here"...

Radio Ink - Wish U Were Here (Diamond Cut Remix)

The remix of American rap duo Starrset is also a fresh one and also a good one. Quite different from the original track and that's what does it for me.

Starrset - My Face (Diamond Cut Remix)

A really really hot steamin' track is this one of Oh Shit! & Night Drugs and it's more regular house vibes from Diamond Cut than usual.

And finally one of my favourite remixes from this guy that came in the end of last year "Lying Around" by great Aussie quartet Cassette Kids. It just slipped through my fingers when posting Diamond Cut's all other great remixes during 2009.
