Mansion (comprised of Toronto talents DJ Barletta and Violca) take Swedish superstar DJ/Producer Eric Prydz‘ huge ‘Pjanoo’ track and give it a filtered, glitched out makeover ideal for peak-time club action. Shit bumps!
Visit Eric Prydz on Myspace for tour dates and such (he’ll be making big stops in Vegas, SF, and LA this week and then heading over to Europe & Australia until the end of January- check him out if he’s in your area!)
Hall & Oates‘ classic 80’s pop track ‘Out of Touch’ gets remixed by Indiana’s hardworking Action Jackson, giving it more of a ‘B-More’-style backbone. With its familiarity to the (general) public and overall catchiness of the tune itself, this should easily bring people on to the dance floor like bees on honey. On the rizzeal!
“Indianapolis born and raised, ACTION JACKSON has quickly established himself as one of the premier up and coming DJs in the country. Specializing in genre bending mixes that span multiple styles of music, he is equally comfortable spinning hip-hop, Baltimore club, electro, old school classics, dancehall, rock, and everything in between. His productions are diverse as well, having remixed artists such as Hall & Oates, Soulja Boy, and Treasure Fingers. In short, there’s not a crowd or party that he can’t rock. In 2007, he partnered with Flufftronix to form Rad Summer, a booking and promotions company, and has since been responsible for several succesfull events throughout the Midwest as well the first Indiana performances of Flosstradamus, DJ Assault, The Toxic Avenger, Scottie B., etc…”

A few posts back we featured the UK’s Futurecop! remixed by Cryptonites, but this time around we’re featuring a remix Futurecop! did for Florida party rappers Yo Majesty!
There’s not much I can say about Futurecop! other than they know what they’re doing and they do it well. Here’s the catchy-80’s-nostalgia-synth-loving Futurecop! take on Yo Majesty’s cut ‘Club Action’..
Grammy nominated producers Jean-Marie Moens and Luke Mourinet collectively know as Ruff and Jam have been in the game since 2002 and have done official remixes for the likes of Kylie Minogue, The Killers, Sia, Amy Winehouse, Tiga and more. The duo has now worked over blog towns favorite trio of ladies Au Revoir Simone’s ‘Lark’ which is off their 2007 album titled ‘The Bird Of Music’. The remix isn’t what you call a dancefloor banger but it’s just as sexy and sentimental as the original.
And whilst we’re on the subject of Au Revoir Simone and remixes, I know you all remember the rework of ‘Fallen Snow’ by The Teenangers. which we’ll post it again for nostalgia’s sake.
Please visit Au Revoir Simone on myspace or their own official site. If you have not picked up last years ‘Bird of Music’ album you can do that at Amazon, Insound or if you prefer digital, iTunes.
Ruff and Jam have a new official website that you should check out. They are also on the MySpace and new some friend love. Add them and check out the other awesome works they have available for stream.
Housse de Racket is a Parisian duo made of of too childhood friends who have a knack for making insanely catchy tunes. The bands outstanding single ‘Oh Yeah’ which sounds like an ode to musical maestros of past, has received the remix treatment from fellow Parisian electro purveyors Tepr, 25 Hours a Day & Gonzales. Partake.
Housse de Racket’s first album ‘Forty Love‘ is out October 13th. They are playing various dates in and around Paris. If you are in the area be sure to check them out.
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…
Swiss electro-rockers Cryptonites are back at it again and go new-wave-disco on us with a melodic remix of ‘NASA’ by the UK’s Futurecop!- this is on some serious Miami Vice shit right here!
ATL’s Rrrump come off like fun lovin’ party wreckers. This rawkus threesome are doing the darned thing on fellow ATLien Le Castle Vania’s new label, Always Never, part of the So Sweet Records fam.
Tonight Rrrump (and Le Castle Vania) supports indie/dance Aussies Cut Copy & The Presets on the Modular Peoples Atlanta tour date (Cut Copy’s full US tour can be seen here). This has epic potential, everybody that can go should make the move. I know I’d be there.

From the mix above TADT have hooked up the VIP remix of ‘Money’, you remember the track with the chant to be about (”money, bitches, cars, clothes & weed”)? Now with added flavor from MCs Whiskey Pete & Andre Parnel (a.k.a. MC Dre):
See TADT clown on the decks like damned Globetrotters or somethin’. Assorted dates in Brooklyn & Manhattan are on the books, including tonight, at Crooked Disco, where they share the night with other special ppls Streetlab. Always current dates & dets on TADT’s MySpace tour page.
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:
