More Mustard Pimp Please
For over a week now I have been meaning to share some tracks with you (as usual in case you haven't already) but couldn't think of a "reason" to. However, after coming to my senses I realized that "they are fucking sick tracks" is a pretty good reason. Besides, how can you have enough Mustard Pimp posts? Having said that, here are some tracks Mustard Pimp put out since their outstanding release: Rock Paper Scissors EP. They are all under a month old and reflect the direction they are taking as well as their harder characterizing sound:Designer Drugs - Riot (Mustard Pimp Remix) by mustard pimp
Fischerspooner - Infidels Of The World Unite (Mustard Pimp Remix) by mustard pimp
Bonus: A little trivia
With all the Crux Records releases posted on this blog it is worth mentioning that Mustard Pimp's debut single "Oh La La Satan" was released under the NY label back in 2008. Doesn't that make you want to follow Crux Records a little closer?
The French duo, Baron and eKa, come from very different backgrounds. Baron was a Dj that played acid and techno music, while eKa was a guitarist in a Metal band (check out the Mayhem t-shirt). This duo proved to be great and successful at combining the best of both worlds; the resulting sound was sought by many. We can see the moment at which theses two sides were perfectly matched in a track after which their second EP was named. Released all the way back in that remote and bizarre time that 2008 was, I cannot hype this track enough. Sorry if I am being redundant, but if you haven't, you MUST listen to Mustard Pimp's tribute to Slayer for which words like hard, banger, huge and massive seem to be too short:
Mustard Pimp-Raging Blood (320kbps)************(timeless, in my top 3 Mustard Pimp tracks for sure)Oh yeah, the other three tracks on the Raging Blood EP (Idiot House Records) are close competitors to this one, so if you are not familiar with them and want some more new-old music check them out in Beatport.

So Good! Whose Remix is This?
I guess the only thing these tracks have in common is that you have to listen to them if you haven't already. It has been a while since we mentioned Designer Drugs and their remix of We Never Close Our Eyes by Scanners is so good that it is necessary to post it. The vocals make for a very nice build up before the track drops on you. Next, Mustard Pimp's remix of I Know by The Willowz is also great, but you should decide for yourself (watch out for their Rock Paper Scissors Ep, we will keep you posted). And to wrap it up you should give Aeroplane's (a duo originally from Belgium with Eskimo Records) remix of Baby I'm Yours (we know is a Breakbot track right?) some attention; and keep in mind how big of a challenge it is to remix an already great track without making you feel like you wish you were listening to the original.Scanners-We Never Close Our Eyes (Designer Drugs Remix) (192kbps)
The Willowz-I Know (Mustard Pimp Remix) (320kbps)----just give it a sec it will get there.
Breakbot-Baby I'm Yours (Aeroplane Remix) (192kbps)----thanks to technocolorkids for putting it up.

The KRFTKDS put this up a few days ago; I am always ready for more tracks like this one:

Distortion
New heavy beats, no theme or story just great new music. First up we have a Banger from UK favorite RETZ, whose track "Am I Iron" is pure bassline glory for the last 2 minutes. I posted on RETZ a few weeks ago and discuss my love for his music in full detail here. Next, we have a new remix of Minitel Rose's track "Wild Birds" from long running TCHNCRCY favorite, Tuff Em Records' Barresto, who we posted on little while back, check it out here. Also, the new track from Teenage Bad Girl, "Tonton Funk" which is definitely a banger. Finally we have a newish Toxic Avenger Remix of the Saint Pauli track "I Need Rythm"... WARNING BASS OVERLOAD, full Saint Pauli post coming soon. Enjoy!RETZ - Am I Iron**** Massive Track
Bonus: Cause you can never have too much Toxic. Here is the Toxic Avenger's new colab with French rapper Orelsan, a Strait-Up Club Banger.

Let that Shit KNOCK
It is on boys and girls. I've been drowning in new music and I'm back from the depths with a treasure chest full of giant beats and the heaviest of bass. I apologize for the absence but I hope this makes up for it.
First up I want to talk about Circus Records's Flux Pavilion. I talked about him a bit ago saying I was going to give him a proper listen once I found some time. Well I found some time and let me tell you, this dude is ill. Though he may look a little goofy, dude has some crazy good vision for dub songs. Normalize is just plain brilliant, drivey, catchy, and fun as hell to listen to without losing it's grime. His more recent Got 2 Know is one of the best songs I've heard in a long time. Not only that, but his song with Datsik, another gifted dub-step dj, is just top notch. Really just destroys your head with some rhythmic, heavy, heavy bass. Honestly, I'm surprised there hasn't been more talk about him. Check out the tracks I mentioned and I'll even throw in my favorite Datsik track, working with Excision, just for you. Because I care.
Next up we have some tracks I picked up from a blog favorite, Atlanta's finest Le Castle Vania. Mnuel did a wonderful little post about him right before we saw his show here in Portland at the Whiskey Bar. He put on one of the most phenomenal shows I've seen here and Portland and if he's in your area I strongly suggest you get messed up and check it out. Super chill guy and one of the better dj's on the scene in the U.S. His remix of La Roux's In For The Kill is gracious and the remix collaboration he does with previously mentioned Computer Club, awesome L.A. Dj, and Atlanta's Rrrump is heavy and obviously helped by the underlying Designer Drugs track. Your ears will thank you.
La Roux - In For The Kill (Le Castle Vania Remix) (320kbps)
I picked up some tracks from Marine Parade's Marty Party. I'm impressed. Really great dub. I'm going to check him out further but here's a remix of The XX and an original to wet your appetite. Looks like he'll be working with Josh Mayer (Not John Mayer), better known as Glitch Mob's Ooah, to create PANTyRAiD. More on that to come.
Last up, for those of you who think the previous just wasn't quite cuttin' it on the filthiness, then these tracks should make you feel dirty enough to want a chemical bath. The dutch dj's Noisia are bringing it down and they aren't leaving till the building is decimated. Just tune in and you'll hear what I'm talking about. The 16bit remix is extra grimy.
Noisia - B.R.U.L. (320 kbps)
Noisia - Machine Gun (16Bit Remix) (128 kbps)♥
Bonus:
Didn't want to waste your time with getting in too deep for these songs but they're all phenomenal. I especially wanted to post the Owl City Fireflies remix by MightyFools. Anyone who can trade that trash in and come out with not only a decent song but actually a damn great one deserves some big ups.
DiscoTech - She's Devestating (320kbps)♥
Soft Toy Emergency - Critical (Last Japan Remix)
Owl City - Fireflies (Mighty Fools Remix) (320kbps)♥

Drop the Lime @ the Rotture!
It is almost here! Crooklyn's favorite son, Drop the Lime, is playing at Branx this Friday. Drop the Lime was one of first shows I ever saw in Portland and I saw him over Xmas at the Avalon in Hollywood with Designer Drugs, both were fucking epic, the latter more than the former slightly. Do not miss this show, Drop the Lime and the Trouble & Bass Crew from NYC are gonna be tearing the Rotture down with local support from Ryan Organ, Ben Tactic who's doing a set with LincolnUp and DJ Kellan who writes for FuckBadMusic.com, a super dank PDX based blog. Hope to see you all there. Check out Drop the Lime's stylo below.Drop the Lime - Set Me Free (Harvard Bass Remix)
Drop the Lime - Devils Eyes (Deathface's Son of Perdition Remix) *Illin' dubstep remix
Fabio Lendrum - Trouble (Drop The Lime Remix)
Cutting Crew - Died in Your Arms (Drop the Lime Remix)
Crookers - Tee-Pee Theme Ft. Drop The Lime *Off Crookers new LP, one of my favorite tracks.
BONUS: The Drop the Lime show with Designer Drugs I saw when I was down in L.A. over Xmas break was so sick that I couldn't resist throwing up some love to Designer Drugs. Designer Drugs is gonna do a show in SeaTown on 4/24, I definitely recommend making the drive if you live ANYWHERE in the Northwest.
Jupiter One - Countdown (Designer Drugs Remix) *No joke, one of my favorite remixes ever

Young Guns
Hello Comrades, since this is my first post on this brand spankin' new blog I thought I'd share with you my favorite new breakthrough producers who are sitting on some new material thats got a lot of people talking. First up, I somehow doubt it's not news to you that Breakbot has recently signed to Pedro Winter's (Busy P) very own record label Ed Banger. His Forthcoming EP "Baby I'm Yours" is scheduled to drop this Valentines day and is definitely going to be#1 on my "Funky Groove To Fuck To/Wake Up Alone With a Box of Sweethearts and a Champagne Hangover" Playlist this Valentines. The EP should include the title song "Baby I'm Yours" that features Irfane a parisian singer and 1/2 of the indie duo Outlines also hailing from the French Capital. The EP will also include remixes from German sensation Siriusmo and La Funk Mob the two fantastic Frenchmen, Philippe Zdar and Boom Bass that make up the über influential production duo Cassius in their spare time. Enjoy!
Up next we have have ANOTHER exiting new french duo BeatauCue who have been getting mad ups for a wave of new fantastic remixes over the past few months. With new remixs for Designer Drugs and SonicC due out on L.A. based labels iheartcomix and Dim Mak very soon it looks like we can expect much from these two in 2010.
Talking 'bout SonicC we have some new stuff from the young Miamian who was recently recruited by the one and only Steve Aoki, Producer/ Dim Mak Founder/ Designer/ Celebrity/ Korean BBQ Owner/ Women's Studies Major/Kid Millionaire. With a newly inked deal with Dim Mak it looks like SonicC's got a big year coming.
