It's always nice when things we like collide! This is like some MFin' rainbow sprinkles & butterscotch on my strawberry frogurt right here!

What it is, is, N.Y. posse, Leif (once PalmsOut representer) doing a workover of Glass Candy's homage to 5th Ward gangsters, Geto Boys, on the track, 'Geto Boys'. It's got that Geto Boys 'Mind Playin' Tricks on Me' sample that's forever fresh.

And since we haven't had a wholly Leif-centric post since his 'Flossy Bounce' EP years ago, let's keep good ch00nz coming with these: The track 'Black Magic' & remixes from last year's 'Black Magic Promo EP'. Nice work in the original & in the remixes from Swedish houser The Touch with the haunting vocals of Swedish singer Lina and the other from fellow New Yorkers, Stay High that takes a fidget/dubstepped approach.

Keeping the good stuff coming, I must say I'm quite partial to this cover of Stockholm's finest siren, Lykke Li. Leif's voice is so far apart from Lykke Li's—& the vibe is so different—yet it works just the same. An interesting take:

And finishing up with another gem that's been sitting on in the ol' inbox. One from Brooklyn's Neon Coyote, a remix of Leif's 'Timbs'.

Purchase last year's 'Black Magic EP', the sixth release on blog-gone-label, Palms Out Records, through Beatport.com. And sit tight for Leif's soon-to-be-released next solo EP, as well as and EP with his band Kids in the Garden, the reincarnation of the late, Aries Noise.

Mark your calendars for what will be a joyous day, when the forces of Frenchmen (and Frenchwoman) The Hacker and Miss Kittin come together once more! Collectively known as Miss Kittin & The Hacker, the pair have released EPs periodically since 1996, however it was their 2001 full length, the descriptively titled, 'First Album' that sank and arrow into the hearts of so many techno fans! That sexy techno record (which some even called 'electroclash', but, hey, what's in a name anyway?), released on DJ Hell's reputable International DJ Gigolos, held us over for years nearly a decade, with a support from new EP releases over the years, but now, yes now, we will finally have a second full length to adore! Following the trend, the new record is titled 'Two' and we can expect it to be on sale April 20th! This record will be released on Kittin's own fledgling imprint Nobody's Bizzness (which also released her solo 'Batbox' last year, blog 'd here). Yay! Here's a sample of what's in store!

Youv'e just heard 'PPPO' the first single from the record. Other notable excursions on the record are a cover of Elvis Presley's 'Suspicous Minds'. Yes, you heard right, bloody Elvis freakin' Presley meets techno diva. Holy smokes. Now while that's novel and good, this track other track gets stuck in my head a little more. Let's party, my skull or yours:

Now, here's a nice mix Miss Kittin recorded for French blog/label Phrench Phries last week. So far, I've listened to it about twice a day for a week. I'm a little obsessed. Please enjoy!

Tracklist:

1. Rude 66 – Paradox Lake
2. Miss Kittin & The Hacker – 1000 Dreams (Maxime Dangles Remix)
3. DHS – House of God (Martin Landsky Remix)
4. Chicks on Speed – Kaltes Klares Wasser
5. Miss Kittin & The Hacker – PPPO (Function’s Sandwell Mix)
6. Guy Gerber – Timing
7. Appaloosa – The Day (We Fell in Love) (Acid Girls Wept Remix)
8. Robert Calvin – Mummy wants some Eggs
9. Tommy Four Seven – Smoke
10. Surkin – Next of Kin (Todd Edwards Remix)
11. D.I.M. – Is you (Brodinski Remix)
12. Miss Kittin & The Hacker – Broken
13. Xenia Beliayeva – Analog Effekt
14. Miss Kittin & The Hacker – Ray Ban
15. Nathan Fake – Stops

Pre-order the new Miss Kittin & The Hacker record on Amazon, and browse for the rest of their collective works or solo Miss Kittin records and The Hacker records while you're at it.

We're fans and friends of L.A.'s After Midnight. They are house-rooted DJ Farron and former-Villain, Philthy B. We've had the pleasure of introducing them last year and are down for what they're cookin' up now.

What they're cookin' is an official remix for South Side Chicago's Club District Allstars' 'Change', released on Textrue Recordings. Club District Allstars is the collaborative forces of major house hero CZR, protégé Vince Melo & Malik (a.k.a. one-half of The Outhere Brothers. Wow. Boom Boom anyone?). This will house you!

Also on deck, we've got some tasty bootlegs. First up, Rockwell's 1984 spooky-yet-poppy r&b jam 'Somebody's Watching Me', featuring an at-prime Michael Jackson. Forever epic! Peep the original video on YouTube. The After Midnight boys give it that Jenny Jones makeover that take it from '80s electro-pop to to modern electro to dubstep and back again. This shit is 'ard.

Bootleg #2, is not second in quality or importance—it is an equally tasty remix of M.A.N.D.Y. vs Booka Shade's sensual, mnml, house track, 'Body Language'. Here After Midnight shows their diversity with a little excursion in dub.

See After Midnight doin' their thing at the Fresh Squeezed rave at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles last August on YouTube. Live vicariously lurkin' After Midnight's photostream of pics on Zannel.

BTW, Club District Allstars' CZR plays tonight in L.A. at House in Hollywood, alongside Palms Out crew's B.Rich. Boardners. 18+ Word!

Hot dang. Our most favoritest production duo on the come-up, Villains have made a massive tune in the form of this official remix for N.A.S.A.. N.A.S.A., which stands for North America South America, is the production duo of L.A.'s Squeak E. Clean and Sau Paulo's DJ Zegon. The tune is 'Whatchudoin" featuring the motherly MIA on the hook with Spank Rock on the verse. The track also features guitar-god Nick Zinner (most notably of Yeah Yeah Yeahs) and Santogold (who take a lesser or absent roles in this here remix):

'Whatchudoin" comes from N.A.S.A.'s debut release, 'Spirit of Apollo', which saw release yesterday. Amazon's has hard copies for you to get your mitts on for just $7.99. That's half what it costs to download, homeboy! For your money you get a supremely banging album featuring (take a deep breath): Chali 2na (of Jurassic 5), Gift Of Gab (of Blackalicious), Method Man, RZA, Ol' Dirty Bastard (R.I.P.) & Ghostface Killah (of Wu-Tang Clan), E-40, DJ Swamp, Barbie Hatch, John Frusciante, KRS-One, Fatlip & Slim Kid Tre (formerly of The Pharcyde), Karen O (of Yeah Yeah Yeahs), Kanye West, Lykke Li, George Clinton, The Cool Kids, Scarface, DJ AM, Del Tha Funkee Homosapien, DJ Qbert, Kool Kojak & DJ Babão, and (we're not done yet) even such interesting & unlikely combinations a such as Sizzla with Amanda Blank & Love Foxxx (of CSS), and (brilliantly) Tom Waits with Kool Keith and David Byrne joining Chuck D (of Public Enemy), Ras Congo, Seu Jorge & Z-Trip. Epic much?!

In other news, be on the lookout for Villains 'Birth EP'. True all the tracks on it have had their debut here in the past. But you should love to cop that hardcopy.

Oh, and did you hear about our new Monday night weekly at Cinespace in Hollywood. We've got these fantastic DJs called Villains playing alongside True Pseudo, Posso the DJ, myself and the Missingtoof crew, Josh David, 12th Planet, Handroids, Heavy Accents. We've also got Dirk Mai of BOXeight and Ceasar Sebastian taking pictures for your memories or for you to live vicariously! It's called 'Missingtoof Presents Sophisticated Clubbing' and you can stay up on all the happnings by adding the party's MySpace or Facebook pages.
