Yazoo (or just 'Yaz' to us Yanks) was a British new wave group born in 1982 and laid to rest in '83—short lived, with only to albums, but with a lasting legacy. Built from equal parts of former Depeche Mode songwriter, Vince Clarke on keys and English singer Alison Moyet doing vocals, this group left their mark on many a band as well as young remixers, the L.A. to ATL transplants, Cory Nitta a.k.a. Cory Enemy of Pink Enemy and Skreach, who have taken the B-side, 'Situation' (a popular track in its own right), from Yaz's '82 single, 'Only You', have cut it up for the clubbbb. It's a little bit electro with with a dubstep break in the middle. Is this a new trend? Following the After Midnight tune posted earlier this week which also had the electro/dubstep/electro switch up. If that's the trend, I sure ain't mad at it!

Yazoo has remained current over the last three decades with remixes from a slew of producers and mash-up DJs. In addition to a notable remix from Hercules Love Affair last year, Yazoo found themselves on the 2006 Hollertronix (a.k.a. Diplo & Low Bee) release #6 with a 'Don't Go' Bmore cut redubbed 'Don't Go Snitchin". Also, the track above is gunning for my favorite mix of 'Situation', knocking this heavy house remix from a mysterious UK white label bootleg record, dubbed 'Housemaniac 2008 Remix' from #1:

Get a eyeful of Yazoo preforming 'Situations' live on YouTube. 2008 saw the release of their albums remastered and released through purveyors of cool, Mute Records, coinciding with a reunion tour (which rolled through Los Angeles last June). Shop for Yazoo on Amazon.

Wowee! Now, our Missingtoof archives are (still) down as of today, but perhaps you downloaded some Graveleaf from this post a while back. Graveleaf is the production outfit of Mike B and partner Omar Doom. Welp, a while back L.A. favorites Royal Rumble gave Graveleaf's track 'The Crusade' their remix treatment. Check it:

Just 'cause, here's some more anecdotal info on The Whooliganz. They are, teenage rapper Mudfoot, who would grow up to be hip-hop production genius The Alchemist and rapper Mad Skillz (but not the one from VA) who always has been, Scott Caan, son of actor James Caan, and who has since left the hip-hop business to join the family business, acting. Damn, little Alchemist got a awesome flow! Watch the little dudes, 'Put Ya Handz Up' video on YouTube. I dusted off my CD single for you. The original is straight Soul Assassain-ation by DJ Lethal. Bonus '93 era remix from QDIII, son of, Michael Jackson producer, Quincy Jones:

The featured mix above is the third Mike B has made for The Hundreds, the previous classic electro mix, 2007's 'Steady Dippin" is available on Mike B's great blog over at Mike B vs. Dickie G. 2006 saw the release of the original 'Drive-By Bangers'—all hip-hop—and also available on Mike B's blog.
