so apparently we only get friday once a week

ray mang has been on the radar for some time now after a few quality remixes- including a couple for friendly fires and chaz jankel.
his track 'look into my eyes' may have been doing the rounds for a little while but its soft, ethereal feel is still ticking all my love boxes.

Ray Mang - Look Into My Eyes

do you think it sounds a bit like the awesome severed head's opus 'dead eyes opened'? i know i certainly had to slam the cut copy fabriclive on immediately after first hearing it. a good thing. anyway, it is lifted from his bullet proof ep, which you can pick up here.

this next track by danton eeprom might initially seem like a bit of a backwards step in friday-danceability, but the subtle yet expansive composition and all-encompassing bass somehow have my feet tapping.

Danton Eeprom - Stilettos Rising

grab his latest album 'yes is more' here.

pete herbert's recent mix of golden bug will finish up my friday afternoon pretty nicely i think. converting golden bug's original tech-disco number into a glamourous, funk-fuelled, d-floor burner was a masterstroke by p-herb.. i need a french martini now.

Golden Bug - Flamingo (Pete Herbert Remix)

weekend ahoy!

sickest day

ahhh the fabled sick day.. a time for laziness in the sun.. seriously who can be bothered to move on a day like this.. even considering what music to put on requires too much effort. thank god for dj mixes huh?

these first two have a distinct disco/funk/yacht-rock flavour.. i have a strong feeling that these genres should be the only ones playing when youre enjoying sick-day sun in your backyard.

Tensnake Summer Mix

this live set by golden bug was a lot different to what i thought it would be.. sure, i expected it to be flat out awesome, but i figured that it would be awesomeness of the lively techy/electro kind.. instead, they busted out a crazy collection of disco flavoured tech-funk and quirky indie-dance with a wide-eyed twist of sweaty fun.. seriously amazing.

Golden Bug - Live In Kiev

in other news, dcup is playing at fringe bar tonight.. if youre around and feel like you want to go and dance your ass right off, then maybe you should drop in and say hi.
if you live at coolangatta and are frustrated that dcup never seems to leave sydney, then your frustrations are unfounded. check this link here and i think you will find that he is indeed playing up there this weekend. lucky queenslanders!

BONUS SELF-PROMOTION:

ok i just thought that i would indulge my ego for two secs and post an uber chilled mix that i recently completed..

Steve's Rug Mix

im hoping that if you find yourself sick and stretched out in your sunny backyard tomorrow, that this mix makes you feel a little better.
it might also be nice on a sunday afternoon with pimms. maybe.

slightly obvious?
