SCHIZOFONICS 24/7

I found out about these guys a few months ago and was really impressed with what i heard. Schizofonics are Shortie & M, two Dublin-based DJs/Producers bound together by the love of all things BASS!!!
DJing together for over 10 years, the lads put their heads together in 2008 and began to make some tunes. It was the success of their first remix, Mustard Pimp’s ‘Zombie’s Revenge’ that inspired them to keep the remixes coming and also to try their hand at some original production. (Schizofonics’ remix is featured on the official release of Zombie’s Revenge)
Their production style is as diverse as their DJ sets, taking inspiration from Electropop to Global Bass and everything in between. This eclectic sound is most evident on ‘Break Free’ their first original production. Half chord based vocal track and half murky bassline banger it’s a tune that’s as at home in the club as it is on your iPod.

Check out this new track they just sent over....

LOLLAPOOLZA 2009

Its Finally here!! While you can't really see it on this poster....the madness begins and ends at Perry's in the park. I'm not diggin the Killers or Tool....kinda interested in seeing Depeche Mode but thats it. Check out the stacked lineup @ Perry's : MSTRKRFT, Bassnectar, Crookers, Bloody Beetroots, Deadmau5, Boys Noize, Simian Mobile Disco, A Trak and many many more.

On a side note, why in the world would they schedule Hard Summer 2009 on the same weekend as Lollapoolza?? Someone really fucked up there. I would have loved to have seen SebastiAn.

Grab tickets here : Lollapoolza 2009

BOYS NOIZE!!!!!!!!

Not really sure why i haven't seen this all over the blog scene here in Chicago??? Boys Noize is gonna be here on Monday....yes you heard it right....BOYS NOIZE WILL BE HERE ON MONDAY!!!!!!! The Abbey Pub, doors open at 8pm and the show starts at 9pm. Tickets are only 15 bucks and you can grab em here : Boys Noize @ Abbey Pub March 23rd.

From the Reader : "Alex Ridha doesn’t get the credit he deserves, probably because everyone who should be acknowledging him is too busy ripping him off. When the Berlin-based DJ and producer, better known as Boys Noize, self-released his game-changing debut album, Oi Oi Oi, in 2007, the ripple effect was instant and audible: suddenly everyone from techno wizards to house heads to third-grade remixers was aping his blown-out steamroller synths. That stylistic trick makes his hooks seem like diffuse explosions—huge blooms of disco dance-floor perfection, hanging on lean, gorgeous songs that combine techno’s pristine chill with juicy electro-house jubilation. As a DJ, he’s capricious, masterful, fond of obscurities, and respectful of his listeners’ intelligence—not what you’d expect from a dude who’s a fixture in the bloghouse scene. You won’t hear this week’s most busted Kanye/Hot Chip remix; it’s gonna be techno veering toward electro, it’s gonna be German, and you are gonna love it. Don Rimini, Designer Drugs, Jack Beats, and Gatekeeper (DJ set) open." —Jessica Hopper

Boys Noize - Shine Shine (Shadow Dancer Unreleased Mix)

Schizofonics - Schizobass

Mustard Pimp - Zombies Revenge (Schizofonics remix)

Disco Villains - Disco Jalisco

Well, I am very pleased and honored to announce that Bigelectro has been noticed by Louis Fresco. He sent over a sick new intro that the Disco Villains put together. Have a listen and you'll realize why i'm so excited!

Disco Villains - Disco Jalisco

****WARNING - THIS TRACK IS MASSIVE....YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO STOP****

Cat + Bread + Mau5 = Perfection

I really can't describe how excited I am to have this track. It's just.....perfect. All I can say is its only 82 more days until Coachella 2009. Lets just hope the rumors are true and he will be there.

EDIT: So he's not on the bill for Coachella but he is rumored to be in Chicago on April 11th with Crookers @ Congress Theater. I'll keep you posted as soon as I hear something.

Deadmau5 - Catbread

Fake Blood

Have you guys heard this yet??? Pure Insanity....

Fake Blood - Blood Splashing (Fake Blood Theme)

From myspace : "I AM FAKE BLOOD.
I MAKE MUSIC - AND I TAKE YOUR MUSIC AND DO WHAT I WANT WITH IT.
IF SWALLOWED SEEK MEDICAL ASSISTANCE.
WILL STAIN CLOTHES.
WILL SOUND SPECTACULAR."

Daft Punk/Supertraxxe

(From inside the pyramid @ Lollapolooza 07 - Chicago, IL)

Supertraxxe sent me another track today.....this guy must be hard at work! Love this one:

Daft Punk - Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger (Supertraxxe remix V.2)

Phantom

Got another track from Supertraxxe today in the inbox. Here is his take on the one and only Phantom.

Justice - Phantom (Supertraxxe remix)

2008 Album of the Year

And the winner is.....Mr. Oizo - Lambs Anger. No need for much explanation here. We were all waiting patiently for Oizo to release a full length album, and it was an absolute masterpiece. I really hope he comes to the states in 09 so we can experience this mad man live. Buy it (here).

Mr. Oizo - Gay Dentists (Lambs Anger)
Mr. Oizo - Positif (Lambs Anger)

runner up......

I know i'll get some shit for this one because it was really just"†" played out live, but whatever. What could be better than re-living the phenomenon that is Justice "Live". You have to admit that hearing "†" during the myspace music tour was really really amazing. I don't think i will ever get sick of this. Buy it (here).

Justice - Phantom 1.5 (A Cross the Universe)
Justice - Let there be light (A Cross the Universe)

Kanye/Supertraxxe

Let me start off by saying that I am not a big fan of Kanye's new album. I really thought he could have done a better job but i may be in the minority on this one?? This guy from New York, Supertraxxe, sent me over his remix of Love Lockdown. He makes it much easier to listen too!! I look forward to hearing more of his work in the future.



Kanye West - Love Lockdown (Supertraxxe remix) - Taken down via DMCA/IFPI (Sorry!!)

Proxy

If your into Justice, Boys Noize, Deadmau5, Crookers etc. etc. then this guy will blow you away! Have a listen....and good luck.

Proxy - Dance in dark

Digitalism - Home Zone (Proxy remix)

9.9.09

9.9.09 the anticipated release date of the new Daft Punk album. This is all speculation at this point but lets keep are fingers crossed and pray!!!

"The three prior albums were released four years apart and all in the month of March: Homework - March 25^th 1997, Discovery - March 13^rd 2001 and Human after all - March 14^th 2005. If the fourth album follows this pattern, then it may be expected to be released in March of 2009.

However, some speculated a September 9th 2009 release as it would have fit with Daft Punk's regular use of the number (as in the song: Revolution 909. They have also claimed to be turned into Robots by the 909 virus)."

Boys Noize/Discodust

What a bunch of bustouts Good Charlotte are.

Awesome interview here from Discodust . This guy always seems to be talking to/interviewing the top artists in the game. Map props to him and all the people that help make discodust the top blog out there(in my opinion). Please check them out if you haven't already.
