Britpop kings Oasis came out with ‘Dig Out Your Soul’, their seventh studio album today. (Pick it up at your local independent record store!)
Hardworking New York-based DJ/producer Chew Fu, who has remixed the likes of The Beastie Boys, Keyshia Cole, and even Frank Sinatra!?! decided to add Oasis to that diverse list of names, giving their track ‘The Turning’ the bumpin’ filtered house treatment…
MP3: Oasis- The Turning (Chew Fu Remix)
Removed at label’s request
For good measure and a change of pace, here’s ‘Wonderwall’, one of my personal favorite (and much older) classic tracks from Oasis…
Birmingham, UK has a powerhouse of sound in Will Bailey (a.k.a. Rudi Stakker). Formerly half of short-lived fidget outfit Twocker (with Calvertron), and owner of startup label Simma, Will Bailey makes world-renowned tracks in the emerging fidget house sub-genre. It’s something that sounds a bit of UK garage, electro house, drum’n'bass and breakbeat thrown in a martini shaker and poured over a 4/4 time signature (don’t forget the olive). Will Bailey shares the Fidget umbrella with the likes of Crookers, Stupid Fresh & Mickey Slim, just to name a few.
Just in, Will Bailey has shared with us his throbbing remix of Southside Queens hip-hop hero, Pharoahe Monch (who you know we got love for, peep the profile of Monch & his former group, Organized Konfusion in this post from last year). This is perhaps taking a cue from the electro-minded remix by Edinbergh’s Hostage. If you’ve heard ‘em all, how’s this compare? I think this is huge:
Here’s another Will Bailey banger with additional production from fellow Birmingham “producer/engineer/DJ” Mikey Hook, he’s not much older than seventeen and already smashing tracks with the big boys.
And for good measure, here’s that Twocker sound that you’ve grown to love (or you should have). It’s a remix of their only original single (with the exception of the ‘Chopper’ B-side) as remixed by other major fidget playboys, Sydney’s Bass Kleph. Love teh wonk:
And yo, we ain’t even finished yet! To match the exclusive remix at the top, here’s a mix to match. Recorded hot on the heels of Will Bailey’s recent gig trip to L.A. to play Nocturnal Wonderland. California love:

In the mix the Pharoahe Monch track is credited to both Will Bailey & Mikey Hook. I dunno what givz thurr. Whatevs! Twocker, although “broken up”, are going on a Australian tour through early October. Will Bailey goes on to Canadian dates late October through November 1st. Then it’s back to the home country for more UK TLC. Full dates and details on Will Bailey’s MySpace page.
Here’s a brand new mix full of UNRELEASED material straight from the man himself, legendary DJ/producer/promoter extraordinaire, Larry Tee. (You know, the guy responsible for coining the term ‘Electroclash‘ and helping launch the careers of artists like Fischerspooner and Peaches…)
N.Y. come L.A. DJ Reid Speed throws down a mean fidgety electro house mix for all you wayward back-to-schoolers to sneak into your iPods (pro tip: grow shaggy hair & you can wear headphones in class). The mix is ‘Back To School’. The sound is massive.
For a quick bio, know that Reid entered the drum’n'bass scene in the mid ’90s working raves & honing her DJ chops, shortly after, she securing a spot behind the scenes at heavyweight junglist Dara’s highly revered Breakbeat Science record shop (and label) in Manhattan. Her DJing has taken her physically to stages across the globe, and musically from drum’n'bass to UK garage to breakbeat to some fidget electro that you hear below.

Now, the Breakdown crew & I have been friend for several years, and we came to the realization that it’d be fun to throw a little party together. So, if you’re in Hollywood on a Tuesday and feelin’ like getting saucy & moving your ass around, check out BOOM ROOM, located in the Attic at Arena (we’re sharing the space with DANCE who majorly rave downstairs in the main room). It’s a party, yo! Free & easy!

Also fresh from the Kill The Noise vaults for your iPod pleasure is this favorite from ‘Volume 1′, a Kill The Noise original, ‘Pull My Strings’. An exclusive on Missingtoof, from him via usss, wit luv,
Kill The Noise has increased his celebrity to lots of int’l touring & top billing at raves (ahem, “music festivals”). This is after already having an establishing his name in drum & bass. In fact, under his Ewun moniker, he is touring down under right now with Lifted artist & Renegade Hardware alum, Spor. Australian dates run through September 13th.
Kill The Noise’s other project, Ludachrist, is also worth your attention (see here for more). The last time Ludachrist performed it was nothing short of hilarious & amazing—with a chrousline of Spongebob, Gene Simmons & Barney (the purple dinosaur) impersonators poppin’ & lockin’ on stage—with Kill The Noise & partner Knick (of Evol Intent fame) presiding over the decks & laptops in full black-magic regalia. Sound awesome, live vicariously through YouTube clips, one and two.
Not to be missed, Ludachrist returns to L.A. at the top of the bill under—just under London’s heavy-banger, Sinden—at the return of Club 1107 on Friday, September 26th.
And, as the DJ you’ve come to love, Kill The Noise performs this Wednesday in Perth, Australia. Also, for my L.A. peoples, at So. Cal. massive, Fuzzy Festival. Additional dates & locations including, Portland, Winnipeg, Edmonton & Rochester are available and always current at Kill The Noise’s MySpace tour page.
Seasoned Brimingham, Alabama producer, Computer Club got at us today with the MFin’ goods! Computer Club, or, sometimes, Gigantor of Evol Intent, has been keeping busy and getting quite major in the months since his introduction last April.
Now, Computer Club takes on glithcy frenchman, Mr. Oizo’s most popular, the 1999 track, ‘Flat Beat’. ‘Flat Beat’ gained notoriety as the jingle of Levis’ television campaigns, featuring one “Flat Eric” character. You might remember? Peep the video on YouTube. That beat is essential and set the stage for much electro-house today! Here’s the extra bang’d out remix. Flat Eric made “Fat”, get it?:
A ton of the finest dubstep around comes from UK’s Skream. Emerging in 2003 as an early teen with a fantastic knack for production, Skream not only built up his own rep, but along with folks like Kode 9, Benga, Hatcha and just a handful of others, crafted the foundation of dubstep genre, with the help of British pirate radio station, Rinse.fm.
Here are two from the Skream’s 2006 debut release, ‘Skream!’, released on Tempa.
Skream’s new stuff is remix work for London’s dub/electronica staple, The Bug featuring (frequent Skream collaborator), Warrior Queen. Also a recent remix of Nottingham dubstepper, Geiom.
Straight outta France and into your iPod is this killer Missingtoof exclusive in the slight 80’s vein courtesy of our boy Zingone with Nina Martine guesting on the vocal tip. As the title suggests, ‘Auto Remix Happy Face’ will indeed leave you with a happy face and a sudden urge to maybe wear some neon spandex fits…
Having played alongside French big timers like Yuksek, Stereoheroes, & The Micronauts, ‘Zingo le Cameleon’ is far from being new to the game, and his music is solid proof.
Peep his other tracks on his Myspace and see just what i’m talking about…
Now enjoy this Missingtoof Exclusive and get yr happy face dance on!
