You're not going to like this. At first.
I didn't really illustrate my point too well yesterday by myself posting up a fairly tracky tune. As you will have no doubt realised, I don't spend the time I should on this site. You will have to forgive my occasional lazy track selection & frequently lazy writing. I have a job to do as well y'know!
This is what I should have posted:
BLUES EXPLOSION - MARS, ARIZONA (DFA REMIX)
Whether you're a lover or hater, you can't deny the influence James Murphy has had over the music scene these last couple of years. Dirty post-punk bass lines overlaid with yelps, cowbells and half-sung vocals are more common now than a sunburnt englishman on a Spanish beach.
But far more agreeable to listen to.
This remix is a lot dirtier & rougher sounding than the LCD Soundsystem stuff, and as such I prefer it. Picadilly Records have this in stock at the moment, so if you are a DJ who finds yourself frequently lapsing into euro-techno tedium all is not lost. Just burn all your records and buy some good ones instead.
You can listen to the !!! mix over at Moebius Rex, who put me onto this track. His site is certainly one of the better MP3 blogs out there so bookmark him up. While you're visiting check the acid-electro 'Plastique de Reve' track and the bizarre but strangely compelling human beatbox techno of 'Barbatuques'. Who needs a 303, fatboy?
