(NOTE: fileden is a piece of shit. i definitely regret buying the space. anyway, i have moved the files to mediafire. apologies, but ive got a little bit of thinking to do about hosting and the like. if anyone has any advice, please give us a shout)

so its spring now. can you believe that it is going to be 20 degrees here on the weekend? (cant believe im getting excited over a 20 degree day.)
i cant wait for the day when ill be chilling at the beach on phillip island. shouldnt be too long right?

while i wait for some sun, it is my good fortune that there is plenty of excellent music to keep me occupied.

sydney label future classic is incessantly impressive. in many ways, they are really are the tastemakers of sydney. or at least the electronica part of it.
their latest release is one by sydney-siders loin brothers and as expected, it is superb. the original is a dense, smoky, bass driven affair with a slightly mysterious middle eastern twang to it. really really good.
when woolfy/projections grabbed the wheel though, they really pulled their feet off the accelerator and started burning some incense.. a great slow, slow burner with plenty of layers and textures. and when the vox pop their head in at around 4 minutes, it really does get blissful up in here.

Loin Brothers - Garden of Vargulf (Woolfy vs Projections Top Sirloin) (mediafire link)

all star duo voltage have been making a good number of waves recently with their first release 'all night'. despite the quality of the original and remixes (put forward by the heavy hitting ilija rudman and azari & iii), it was the b-side of this release that impressed me the most.
'qe2' is more along the lines of a great cut copy remix with its driving, swirling synths and angelic keys. a d-floor disco bomb cunningly veiled in prettiness.

ok so ive been a little slack in getting this out, but nicolas jaar's collection of edits from a few weeks ago has been doing some serious rotation in my headphones. such a diverse range of sounds, and all executed so well. 'come n get it' is perhaps my pick of the bunch with it's thick 90's funk and solemnly ethereal keys. truly magnificent.

Nicolas Jaar - Come N Get It (mediafire link)

i have been totally sold on jaar since 'time for us' and if he keeps on releasing slow jams that are as excellent as that and 'come n get it', ill probably start sweating.
in case you havent already, head over to residentadvisor to pick up the full collection.

aarrgghh pt 2

while i wait for the blouse system to sort its fuckin' life out (mate) i thought i would regale you with an interesting tale.
this tale involves a certain mr knightlife and his return to the fold. are you getting excited yet? you damn well should be.

knightlife II comes out on may 22 and i am being led to believe that a giant release party (featuring cut copy djs and a certain dj dreamtime) is being held at oxford art factory on june 12. tickets here
snippets of said release can be heard on the cutters website and you should immediately go and treat your ears:

Treat Your Ears

with 'crusader' and 'discotirso', knightlife has taken another confident step in sunny discoland.. while the bouncy bass of 'discotirso' will defs get butts a'wigglin', the cut copy/whitford fingerprints all over 'crusader' particularly get me all red and blushy. equally good is the nile delta (aka dj belgium) remix of 'all systems' which features as part of the b side.. a new sound for him as well: breezy nudisco for miles. so good.
