hello melbourne part 2

holy balls it is freeeezing in melbourne. i havent been this cold since i lived in canberra. and i got told today that "i ain't seen nothin' yet". a compelling reason not to move.

luke vibert has had so many alias and aka's that it all sometimes gets a little confusing. kerrier district was a little side project that he worked on a few years back to sate his disco inclinations.. while the project may have had a mixed reception, this track 'lets dance and freak' is a stone-cold classic.. any song that turns a bouncy, fun bassline like this into a serious, sophisticated affair gets major ticks from me.. (not the insect variety)

Kerrier District - Lets Dance and Freak

can you spot the metro area nod in the kerrier district name??

space ranger are a german trio that are really starting to get some serious traction in disco circles.. a lot of attention has been payed to their star wash ep from a couple of months back, and rightfully so. its deep, cosmic and thoroughly analogue vibe really seems to nail a sound that a lot of people are trying to achieve. 'phase fever' is the most upbeat off the ep, and what a shimmery banger it is.. a bassline as driving as this is sure to slay a few dancefloors out there..

we hadn't really heard any new business coming out of the tellier fortress for a while now, and to be honest, it was a little worrying. a sexuality remix cd was dropped recently, and while it may not exactly be 'new business', it is a sign that he is still alive.
with all this midnight juggernaut hysteria going around, it only seems fair that i look back on this remix that they made of 'divine' in '08. dramatic synths, resonant vocals and heavy drums make for a very classic sounding juggernauts mix:

hope to see you out in melbourne this weekend
