TCHNCRCY Ten Tracks Pt. 1

So this is my attempt to create some kind of running post for every week or so. For those of you that have been following us, then you've noticed that I post 10 tracks about roughly every week containing my favorite songs that you might not have picked up throughout the past week. If you don't follow, then the general idea is that I'm gonna drop ten tracks for ya'll, give them a brief description, and point out the ones you should definitely pick up if you're too busy for some reason, like the your first child is being born. The hope is that we'll spread the music we don't have time to go in-depth on but still like and that this will run consistently. I'm aiming to get it up every wednesday or tuesday, the powers that be willing. So check out the official first edition with ten songs that I've been digging on.

Tim Berg - Alcoholic (Dada Life Remix) (192 kbps)*****
-Heard a different remix of the track and loved the sample, not so much the beat and bass behind it...and then there was Dada Life.

Electrixx vs. Alex Mind - No Discussion (Original Mix) (320 kbps)*****
-Just a really dope song. Production is tight, sample is sick, and the bassline is hard.

Art vs. Science - Magic Fountain (Kissy Sell Out's Dark Crystal Version) (320 kbps)
-I love Kissy Sell Out and this shit hits harder than a motherfucker. Give it till 1:39 to judge.

Dayn - Rocking Alive (320 kbps)
-Heavy dub-step. Need I say more?

Les Rhythmes Digitales - Sometimes (Computer Club's Front Room Edit) (320 kbps)
-Melodic vocals with a crunchy as fuck bassline. Another reason to like Computer Club.

Boy Crisis - Fountain Of Youth (Louis La Roche 'In The Discoteque' Remix) (224 kbps)***
-Disco style summer jam. for those of us that enjoy blasting tunage with windows down on the waterfront.

Ali Love - Smoke Mirrors (FuntCase Remix) (320 kbps)
-Wait till the track breaks at 0:50 into a creepy as hell dub-track. For those of us that like to kick it in the back of the abr with the lights low.

Reset! - If We Try (Steed Lord Remix) (320 kbps)****
-I'm used to Steed Lord being remixed into epicness, but the team has switched it up. Real melodic song with great drops. Listen to it to see what I mean.

Robot Love - Give It to Stupid (192 kbps)
-A great banger despite it's affiliation with MTV's guido crew. There's enough distortion and bass to be forgiven.

ULTRNX - Rockstr (GhettosexXx Remix) (320 kbps)***
-Really well done track built with more drive than a tubro V8.

Dirty, Dirty Italians

*"Get Your Kitty Right Up There Close" --- Blatta & Inesha from Pet Massage

After a string of great releases in the past week from some of the most talented producers Italia has to offer, I decided a post was well overdue. Check out the finest tracks the past week of Italian music has to offer.

Everything about Blatta & Inesha entertains me. From their blog blattainesha.com to their orginal productions and remixes, I can't get over their raw talent and fantastic sense of humor. Today they dropped "Pet Massage" on New York based label Crux Records and it is no exception, blending stiff drum rhythms with interesting leads and bridges and dropping some serious bassline synths, "Pet Massage" is not a track that you should miss.
Churning out bassline crushers for over 2 years now and Crux Records has really come into it's own in the past few months with a chain of releases from the likes of the Shaved Moneys, Oddword, DJ Antention and Sawgood and a slighter older catalog of releases for artists like Mustard Pimp, Gigi Barocco, Stereoheros and Ajapai, and many many more. This NY label has quickly become one of the most consistently bangin' record labels in the business. Check out the whole "Pet Massage EP" below and grab the Elektropusher Remix of the new track. Follow the links in the Soundcloud player to purchase these fantastic tracks


Blatta & Inesha - Pet Massage (Elektropusher Remix)

Milano locals Reset! get mad respect from all of us here at TCHNCRCY. From their disgustingly amazing O.G. track Gasa, to all of thier remixes, I have way too much love for this fantastically talented Italian Crew. They recently dropped a new remix of the colab between english big beat legend Fatboy Slim and Cheap Thrill's record mogul and multi-aliased producer best know as Hervé. This remix is a yet another banger form one of the few production trios in the business (Give Me A Kiss being the only other I really know). Also, If you are lucky enough to make it out the the dance capital of the world, Ibiza, Spain this October make sure you don't miss Reset! playing a set with the one and only Club 75 at Pachà on October 1st. Going to Ibiza has always been a dream of mine and seeing this much talent on one stage is more like a nightmare for all of those us that are not attending. Be sure to catch Reset! with Club 75 if you are anywhere near Ibiza in two months and see the most producers, let alone tallent, behind one CDJ of anywhere in the world.


Fatboy Slim & Hervé - Machines Can Do The Work (Reset! Remix)

Okay, so I feel like I probably should have done this a while as we have ago but due to the fact that these tracks haven't been leaked, blogged or hyped until very recently so I felt bad letting the public in on this little secret. Well here it is, the Verona duo The Mastertrons' new EP titled "Revenge Is Coming" and boy oh boy folks, THIS SHIT ROCKS. This debut EP from The Mastertrons dropped last Thursday and I am honestly shocked at the lack of exposure it has received. This EP is fucking fantastic! All of the original tracks are complete destroyers and highly, HIGHLY recomended by this blog. Also, I absolutely love the Remixes by Elektroy, Venooms, and Modek; though the mixes by Frag Maddin, Super Super, and Marvul are also very solid and definitely worth a listen. All in all this is a massive release from The Mastertrons and Traktor Records sub-label Mähtrasher. If you don't trust me give the tracks below a listen, they're my top picks off a fantastic EP and then pick them up for yourselves over at Gigacrate for less then $10 or your favorite digital music store (except for beatport which doesn't offer the EP for some strange reason).

Mähtrasher Bonus - Okay, so I know that Markus Lange and Stereofunk, and the label Mähtrasher that they released their new single "Dr. Manhattan" on are all German and not Italian. But when give this new track by these two hard working and hard hitting German producers a listen I am sure you will see some similarities between "Dr. Manhattan" and the filthy, durty Italian sound pioneered by producers like Sir Bob Cornelius Rifo. Markus Lange and Sterofunk's new dominating-synth driven anthem will surely draw comparison to the 2009 rave anthem Warp 1.9 by The Bloody Beetroots, so if you are a fan of fist pumping, rave-moshing and roaring synths then check out the new single "Dr. Manhattan". The single also comes with remixes by the likes of Traktor/Mähtrasher don, aUtOdiDakT who delivers a much darker yet still undeniably funky/dancey interpretation of the track, as well as SCNDL's old-school electro influenced rework and Prozac Polka's low-end dominating remix. Grab the original version of "Dr. Manhattan" below, kindly provided by Mähtrasher Records and then jump over to beatport to check out all the fantastic remixes of the massive new track.

Markus Lange & Stereofunk - Dr. Manhattan ≈Germanys answer to Sir Bob

Crux Bonus - Okay well, Shax isn't really from Italy either so they couldn't technically make the Italian post and get filed under the bonus section... But when you are from the smallest country in the world known as Vatican City: the Holy See. Since Shax is from a country that rests entirely within the Italian city of Rome and might even be from rome only claiming the Vatican as home (Please comment if you know) and the title of his new track is "I Get Dirty", I would say it is safe to include him in an Dirty Italia Post.
If you need more proof of my above statement that Crux Records has consistently churning out straight  bangers for the past few months look no further than Shax's new single "I Get Dirty" which Crux also released today on top of "Pet Massage". This new release from the fabulous NY Label is Electro Punk at it's very finest. Grab The Mastertrons remix of the new single "I Get Dirty" and make sure you swing by beatport at least to grab the phenomenal original but also to check out more remixes by the likes of Doc Trashz, The Boomzers, and Flatland Funk, all of which are great.
*Trust me, I saved the dirtiest, dirty (pseudo-)Italian for last.

Shax - I Get Dirty (The Mastertrons)

ReSet! and R3SET

Who knows when you first heard of ReSet!? It could've been when they got hyped for their massive remix of Cassius's "Youth, Speed, Trouble, Cigerettes", you know the same remix that made it into super-group Club 75 Mixmag Mix.  Maybe it was their remix of the Audiobullies that made "Only Man!" polished and sparkle like the sun. Or maybe you just don't know about the awesome 4 Dj/Producer combo that is the Milanese powerhouse of ReSet! It really doesn't matter, because the fact is they make great music and because that's what we're about here at TCHNCRCY it's all we really need to know. The reason I draw your attention to the fantastic stylings of some of Italy's finest is that they just dropped a remix of Graffiti 6's "Annie You Save Me" that is too hot to hold and I've been looking for any excuse to bring these boys up. Give the sample a chance and wait till the vocal chopping comes in because it will bring the house down. Also,  check out the remix of Cassius I was talking about (there's a reason it got so much hype) and get down to the fidgety remix of London legend Hervé's "Blaze It". And because nothing beats one-stop shopping, check out their original "Gasa" which is not only dirty, grimey, and downright fantastic but it's got some crazy carnival synth stuff I can really get behind. We've got love for ReSet!

Cassius - Youth, Speed, Trouble, Cigarettes (Reset! Trouble Remix) (320 kbps)
Hervé - Blaze It (Reset! Remix) (192 kbps)
Reset! - Gasa (320 kbps)

This is for clarification, but mostly because they drop some crazy beats, but R3SET is not ReSet! I was very lost for a little while, blogs keep mixing the two up so I finally buckled down and checked it out. Maybe you already knew, but R3SET is a filthy French duo (Lionel de Fontenoy and Gilles Chateaubriant) from Strasbourg that produce and DJ some hard fucking electro. While I'm tempted to say I favor the Italians, if you've listened to R3SET's remix of DATA's "Rapture" you know how hard it is to choose. That track is by far one of the best tracks out there period.  Makes me long for Death From Above...come on Sebastien Grainger, stop fucking around! So which of the two is better? Who the fuck cares! The beauty is that they are both making banging music that you can enjoy. If you do one thing today, grab their DATA remix. And if you do three, pick up R3SET's remix of "D.A.N.C.E." (one of the only remixes of that song I ever listen to) and grab the Redial remix as well.

Fresh Kicks

audiobullys - only man from EL NINO on Vimeo.

Check out this sick video from Jonas & Francois (The two directors responsible for Justice's D.A.N.C.E. video) of the Audio Bully's "Only Man". It's got that same vibe that their video for D.A.N.C.E. had and the track isn't half bad either. Pick it up, along with the  banging Reset! remix.
