monday: new email address day

wow! happy mondays!

just thought i would drop a quick line to let everyone know that the blouse email address has changed to blouseclub{at}gmail{dot}com.. we became a little irresponsible with our previous addy and weren't monitoring it nearly as much as we should have been.
this new email address is like a fresh start - please send us music and other misc goodies!

to celebrate, here are two tight, monday brightening disco jams:

you can always trust the prolific toby tobias to be the creator of swanky, strutty glam disco like this. it might take a couple of minutes to find it's feet, but when that extra bit of snare slips in, 'crocodile slippers' really comes to life. very classy, classic sounding disco.

Toby Tobias - Crocodile Slippers

'crocodile slippers' is the b-side to the excellent 'macasu' from earlier in the year. grab it here. the motor city drum ensemble remix is worth the price by itself..

this is another cut from luke vibert's 'kerrier district' project from '04.. this one has been a favourite of mine since hearing a snippet of it in one of the old, old bang gang podcasts. this full version really covers a lot of ground and visits many different areas, but that makes it all the more charming. especially with a slap bassline/piano foundation like this:

Kerrier District - Disco Bus

so in summary, please send stuff to us via our new email addy. we promise to be more diligent in our checking.

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..

Space Ranger - Phase Fever

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:

Sebastien Tellier - Divine (Midnight Juggernauts Remix)

hope to see you out in melbourne this weekend
