wow this weather is making me tired....... so tired.
the thought of staying in bed on a rainy day is so compelling.. i dont know why i never do it.
thank god y'all arent sitting near me today- i think my tiredness and general boredom is starting to filter through to the people sitting near me..

anyhoozz.. weve had some pretty cool stuff sent to us recently here at blouse..

Patrick L threw through his NEWNEWNEW remix of Eric Prydz's Pjanoo as well as a LIVE DJ mix (always more impressive) from Gothenburg in Sweden..

Eric Prydz - Pjanoo (Patrick L Remix)

Patrick L LIVE @ Gothenburg

the Eric Prydz remix is pretty radtastic.. in a very euro-house rave sort of way. very uplifting but also one of those diverse tracks that you can not only listen to on your 'pod but also bang away at in some form of night club. LOVE the one minute halftone chord ending.. very mooooody.. makes me wanna start singing "I WANT MY... I WANT MY MTV.."
his DJ mix was a bit unusual.. literally mixing funky and more commercial sounding house in with hard electro and fidget.. not an easy thing to do but somehow mr pat L made it work..

im not sure if many of you have this but its a bit different and so i guess ill share..

Mystery Jets - Hideaway (Home Demo)

apparently this is a bit of an early days demo of Hideaway.. i like it, its a bit rough and raw and has cool computery drums.. the vox are brought out heaps by the rougher sounding beats. such a good thing.

chris from spank rock also recently finished a DJ mix for Shilo's "We Make It Good" series..

Shilo presents We Make It Good Vol 2 mixed by Chris Devlin

this mix is PERFECT for working/listening & chilling to.. it really reminds me of the so cosmic mix that Cut Copy did.. i love it when people that are bigger music nerds than me show all their beats off..

finalllly.. the ocelot remix of robyn's track 'be mine' was brought to my attention by BlakeLight earlier this week.. man this track is awesome!

Robyn - Be Mine (Ocelot Mthfkrs Remix)

Robyn - Be Mine

sure, it is very commercial and almost MOS sounding but it is sooo catchy.. keep coming back to it.
and it is a totally perfect song for the end of a set.. if youre playing in that sort of a club. totes.
this song also sent me on a bit of a girl power mish. and for that i thank it because i found this song.

Kleerup - Until We Bleed (feat Lykke Li)

pure chilled bliss.
which is good for my ears when im this tired

lads and lads

im not really sure that it would be fair to do a 'ladies and ladies' post without doing a 'boys and boys' post.. we try not to be sexist here at blouse...... and luckily there have been some seriously good tracks that i have come across to balance shit up yo..

ok lets organise these tracks according to how this weekend will hopefully go for me..

buzz (pumped for weekend- tracks to start exciting me)

The Mystery Jets - Girl Shaped Gun

The Mystery Jets - Two Doors Down

VHS or BETA - We Could Be One

VHS or BETA - Burn It All Down (Fred Falke Remix) cheers Waves at Night!

i love these bands to listen to whilst drinking or inflating my excitement- so happy, so disco-ee but still with plenty of edge.. i first heard of the Mystery Jets about 2 years ago on the Bang Gang mix 'cum and sweat'.. i couldnt find anything about them back then and im really stoked that they have finally made it big..
the apparent first single off their album 'Twenty One" is the Erol Alkan produced 'Two Doors Down' and while it isnt the most intelligent song it sure is funky and how good are the drums in it? possibly a dark horse club banger??
the best thing about the Mystery Jets (and the thing that seperates them from other SHITE brit-pop groups) is the way that they have embraced the whole disco thing.. synths and dance beats really complete their sound.
and what needs to be said about VHS or BETA?? disco rock at its finest. cant wait to see them.

reason why we buzz in the first place

Wolfgang Gartner - Montezuma

Classixx - Cold Act III (Wolfgang Gartner Mix)

Tim Phinn, Midnight Youth - Supernatural (Kam Denny & Paul Zala Remix)

Alex Metric - Pins

not exactly subtle or particularly edgy but what the hey.. catchy tunes are always good.. i dont know very much about any of these producers.. what i do know is that Wolfgang Gartner is BLOWING UP beatport at the moment- everything he touches seems to turns to gold.. im not exactly sure what makes his brand of electro house so much better than everyone elses but it really is. i think he must have nailed that whole hard distorted electro with a heavy dose of melodious house thing right on the head.
and despite the fact that i dont know who he is, Alex Metric really makes some tight electro rock house.. again not sure who he is but he has pumped out some pretty rad tunes.

struggles dealing with afterwards

ahh have found so much cool chilled electronic beats by the lads recently... so good.. so good to not only come down with at the beach but also to work to.

Adam K, Soha - Twilight

Kaskade - 4AM (Adam K, Soha Mix)

Junior Boys - Double Shadow

Junior Boys - Count Souvenirs

hmmm on second thoughts i think these beats would actually be good to fall asleep to after the struggle has been completed but whatevs- theyre still quality tracks..
i have heard about the junior boys around the traps now for a while without knowing who they were.. apparently the review of their last album 'So This Is Goodbye' (9/10) got posted twice on Pitchfork to emphasis how GOOD it is.. so yeah.

anyway thats all from me.. enjoy the weekend- hopefully my musical weekend will fall somewhere along these lines.

The Videodrome mk VI

yeeeahhhh i love the videodrome.....!

i also LOVE the mystery jets.. ever since i heard 'You Cant Fool Me Dennis' at the end of of Bang Gang mixtape i have been in love.
Ive just checked out their new clip and you should too. f**king wicked mate.


Mystery Jets - Two Doors Down

such a good track- how good is the solid/tough drumbeat and synthie chorus?? as teengirlsquad out of homestarrunner would say-- SO GOOD! and such a cool 80's themed clip. all round quality.

The Mystery Jets - You Can't Fool Me Dennis (Justice Mix)

The Mystery Jets - Hideaway (Switch Mix)

The Mystery Jets - The Boy Who Ran Away (Riton Rerub)

In other news my man brenton just sent this mad old school shit through- seriously off the hook.
doesnt everyone wish that we could have lived back in these days?
