Frankie Says....
Slow is the new fast I hear. I can't remember where. Perhaps one of my underground moles let it slip.
Those D*I*R*T*Y boys can be relied upon for some quality slow jams, and their new 'Dirty Space Disco' compilation is packed full of 'em. This awesome compilation is out next week by the look of it, and is well worth checking out. Hell i've posted something from every D*I*R*T*Y release in recent times.
JOHN MILES - STRANGER IN THE CITY (PILOOSKI EDIT)
YELLOW POWER - HAI SAMURAI
Both these tracks are superb, but be sure to also check 'Undisputed' by Undisputed Truth... which got dropped to the bench at the last moment!
The main man at D*I*R*T*Y is Pilooski of course, and his fantastic re-edit of Frankie Valli's 'Beggin' (which naturally you heard here first), is as we speak headed for the higher reaches of the hit parade. Not sure if this is the official video or not, but it's reeet good! I'm particularly taken by the finger clicking trees.
The last I heard of Poni Hoax was their brilliant single 'Budapest' - which, backed with a Joakim remix, made me dance a lot a couple of years ago. Now they're back together with the French maestro for a new single. And once again it's an unqualified success. Disco, Indie, Acid & Cowbells combine and make scary good.
PONI HOAX - INVOLUTIVE STAR (JOAKIM REMIX)
Pilooski, Poni Hoax & Joakim are all playing together at The Egg in a couple of weeks. Optimo as well. Phwoar!
The latest limited single on IGetRVNG is a tasty little number by Mock & Toof. Coming as usual in a lovely screen printed sleeve, the most immediate track on the 12" is a remix of Wire's 'Three Girl Rhumba' (the track that Elastica nicked for 'Connection'), and the second track is pretty pop as well (in a kind of Map of Africa way). However since we're on a disco tip today, i'll post up the track that fills the b-side. An afro-tinged deep disco jam with guitars that go 'chugga chugga wah wah' and some afrobeat chanting. Well weapon.
MOCK & TOOF - DIGIT 3
Possibly the best thing i've ever had in the post came this week... a CD of new edits, mixes & mash-ups by DJ Greg Wilson, king of the re-edit. A CD-R with a hand written tracklist, I doubt that many of these will ever see the light of day. So you're in luck that i'll post up a couple here.
The CD kicks off with a real gem... Missy Eliott's 'Work It' placed over a slow but devastating bassline, which after a bit of digging I suspect may be by Imagination. Seems like this did get a vinyl release, so keep your eyes open...
YOUNG DOG ALIEN - GOTTA KEEP WORKIN' IT (DJ GREG WILSON RE-EDIT)
It's difficult to choose what else to post, but i'll go with this track by Teenage DJ - an ironic alias used by Greg, who's been spinning tunes since I was two feet tall. Spot the Daft Punk sample!
