I had Pam Anderson. I am jumping across CANYONS.....




I didn't catch much DFA action at 93 Feet East on Friday... it was much more pleasant in the other room. I was a bit disappointed to have missed Prinzhorn Dance School, but I guess I'll hear something from them soon enough.

I was also hoping that James Murphy would soften the blow by playing Bloggers Delight at the Lock Tavern last night, but along with Simian Mobile Disco he didn't show up. However despite the cancellations it was another rocking afternoon / evening. And one for which i'm still paying the price now. I've been hell tired today.

:-(

Back to DFA though, i've been listening to this great new remix by Tim Goldsworthy (the half of DFA that's not James Murphy), and I think as a result we can guess who's had the guiding hand in most of the other recent (epic) DFA remixes.



It's a quite brilliant reworking of Aussie rawkers Wolfmother, that's sounds to me like a slightly disco-fied version of Carl Craig's Delia & Gavin remix. Naturally i've not heard the original, but it's not the Wolfmother you're interested in, is it.

WOLFMOTHER - JOKER AND THE THIEF (TIM GOLDSWORTHY LOVING HAND REMIX)

Check out also his very similar (but not quite as good) 'Loving Hand' remix of Home Video. I'm sure you can find it on t'hype machine.


I don't have the guts to post up anything specifically DFA-related again, but you may also want to nip across to Skull Juice for a wee remix of wee Justin Timberlake.


Now you know i'm a LONG TIME LOVER of Hot Chip. But to be honest I find their remixes (and there are LOTS of them) don't tend to hit the spot all that often. I mean, I don't think i've ever felt inspired to post one up here before. And I don't usually need much encouragement to upload the HotChipNess.

But this new remix is aces high. It sounds a bit like Plan B guesting on a Hot Chip track. You've just got to love those synths.



PLAN B - WHO NEEDS LOVE (HOT CHIP REMIX)

The Adventures Close to Home mix I posted last week also reminded me about how good that recent Epic Man (Paul Epworth) collaboration with Plan B was. Guaranteed to shake your ass.

EPIC MAN & PLAN B - MORE THAN ENOUGH

You should also check the Sinden remix of that track that Casper posted up last week (hope the Trenchfoot has cleared up by the way). It's about time that the word 'Gash' was revitalised and reintroduced into common parlance. Yes, 'More Gash Gash Gash Gash Gash Gash Gash' indeed.


Finally, if you're still in any doubt as to how good South Central are, check out this slightly unauthorised mix they've done of Klaxons. Apparently, for reasons best known to themselves, Klaxons (or their label) weren't best pleased about it being done. Anyway, there's only one version that i've been playing repeatedly and spazzing around my bedroom to. And this is it.

KLAXONS - THE BOUNCER (SOUTH CENTRAL BOOTLEG REMIX)



Seems i might be playing some tunes before or after or before and after Coldcut tomorrow!

Talk about a hard act to follow!

I don't know too much, as I just heard about it today. But it's at the NFT as part of the Resfest (film?) festival. I'll no doubt be playing the records above. And be trying my utmost not to trainwreck them too much!
