i dont know why ive held onto these songs for so long. maybe i was waiting for the right moment or something. anyway, today is saturday and it really feels like a good time to unleash duncan dcup's brand new songs- which i must say are as impressive as ever.

Crazy P - Stop Space Return (DCup Remix)

the thing that impresses me most about this bunch of tracks is the growing individuality and identity that duncan is finding. i think he is really establishing his own sound and feel, and that's an exciting something indeed.

Teenagers In Tokyo - Death Rides A Horse (DCup Remix)

after playing around a little bit last year with harder forms of house, he's embraced this glamourous, classy, disco-tinged electro-funk which is seems to come a lot more naturally and definitely works amazingly well.
here also is his first solo outing, which typifies this new funky direction

DCup - Walking Away

so yeah. five stars mister cup. bravo sir- i cant wait to hear what pops out next.

and in case you missed it, here is his remix of the heat's 'the celebration' which is a bit more straight-up electro housey but is defs sure to fill dancefloors

The Heat - The Celebration (DCup Remix)

well its been nothing but blue skies now for this whole week.. whoooo! summer here we come!
if summer means anything it means rooftop parties!
and everyone knows that the only rooftop party to go in sydney to is the one at the eastern hosted by the classy boys from the heat!

its been a bit quiet from the hot boys of late but thankfully our very own dcup has brought their track 'The Celebration' up to date with an awesome twist of his own brand of electro funk..

The Heat - The Celebration (dCup Remix)

i think in this case dCup has outdone himself. although the original had a pretty rockin tune it did get a bit repetitive after 7 minutes..
with this remix, duncs has taken the original melody and rhythm, and somehow made it throb with wicked syncopation. i seriously cant help but nod my head when listening to this.. he has also added a heap of depth to the song with lush synths, little vocal stabs and a rad treble melody that ties it all together.. the climax of the track at 4 minutes is awesome- i think id melt into the ground if i heard it out.

and in case you missed them:

now its a lot later on friday and i want my bangers..

here are two WICKED remixes off the 'one pure thought' single by the effervescent hot chip.. truly banging.

Hot Chip - Ready For The Floor (Hot Chip VIP Remix)

Hot Chip - Wrestlers (Sticky Dirty Pop Remix)

the ready for the floor remix is exactly my kind of fidgety banger- not too stupid or wobbly, has wicked b'more-ish drums and is intense as hell. epicly awesome.
the wrestlers remix is fucking rad as well but is a more by the numbers fidget jam.. perfect for fri night!!

to last to you out the weekend, here are two DJ mixes done by two awesome sydney DJs/producers.
sorry for the zshare guys but dj mixes take up toooo much room on our lovely new server..

The Gameboys 60.30 Mix

the gameboys have become local fixtures in recent times, playing heaps at places like candys and qbar.. they have built up quite the fanbase with their sweeeet skills and sweeet tracks.. haha but seriously we love the gameboys up in here- make sure you catch them soon (sosueme tonight or sounds on sunday).
The title of their mix '60.30' is actually very smart because on it they mash sixty songs (yes 6-0) into 30 mins. thats like 2 songs every minute.
AMAZING- make sure you check this out (tracklisting in comments.) very clever mixing of indie/electro.. kind of makes you listen in the same way as girl talks new mix.

Jeepers (aka John Paul from the Heat) has also recently thrown around a mix to get us all excited for summer and the excellent rooftop parties @ the eastern..

Jeepers Rooftop Mix

have a good weekend everyone!

ps for anyone going/wants to go, the Van She show at the Spanish Club has had to be pushed back to next week and will now be at the Cross (above the Bourbon).. buy tickets here
