Get It Anyway You Want It

I thought it was about time I pointed you in the direction of some funky jams recently posted on other blogs. There are many things I don't do enough of, but one of them is to give shout outs to other sites I enjoy. (Yes another is to sort my own site out so that my links bar doesn't jump to the bottom of the screen in Internet Explorer. One day, One day. The lesson is: Use Firefox!)

I wish I could hear everything I wanted, but there seems to be so much music out there and so little time. Also so many of the newer blogs seem to be using YSI and the like to host files. Maybe i've become super lazy or something, but come on guys, I want my kicks in less than 3 clicks!

Like I say, there are so many sites springing up at the moment that it's a bit overwhelming trying to listen to everything you want to. When this mp3 blog game started, I was able to listen to most interesting-sounding things from the 10 or so sites around - and managed to find some real gems as a result. Now with so much choice I must admit I tend to play a bit safer with my selections, since I barely have time to hear the stuff I want to listen to, let alone anything on the off-chance. There must be scope for a site out there hand-picking the best tracks from the numerous blogs? The aggregators at the moment tend to blindly select everything posted with no kind of quality control.

Anyway, I digress.

If you've not yet heard it, Disco Not Disco has the DFA-esque Erol Alkan mix of Hot Chip. The quality doesn't sound too hot, so I suspect it may have been ripped from myspace. However it should be enough to tide you over. Plus if you've not heard his classic Trash-rocking mix of DFA (the 1979 version) then you should definitely prick up your ears at that also.

Head to XXJFG for the excellent Boys Noize remix of I-Robots. And the new single from Brighton's krautrock kings Fujiya & Miyagi

The epic mix produced by the Skull Juice fellas is well worth a listen. Those boys have squeezed a hella lotta (excellent) records into one tiny hour. Move over 2 many dj's!

And check out Sunny's disco tracks from a couple of days back. A new Digitalism remix, and a superb Moroder / Cowbell / Samba number by 'The Erotic Drum Band' that i've really been digging.


There'll be some great new disco hits from me tomorrow....
