Jim Starck is the Phillippe Starck of fucking dance music. What’s that mean? It means Jim Starck is a craftsman of sleek and fashionable EDM tunes. (But it doesn’t mean I think they’re related).

Jim Starck and his Electroluxe Family helping to usher in Quatre Records as a new favorite French techno/electro label. If you’ve been paying attention, we got excited when Quatre brought us, fellow Electrolux Fam., D*L*i*d’s remix of Kris Kross‘ classic, ‘Jump’ (get it here). But we were hooked from the first Fam. cut ‘Rock That Shit’ (which also had a hittin’ Vicarious Bliss remix you can grab right here).

Jim Starck’s ‘Gunman’ EP was released last week, and we caught the blast like a double barrel of buckshot.

And this one is for all the ladies in my neighborhood. Jim Starck bought the present—and the card—but I’m adding my name to it, with love.

MP3: Jim Starck - California Girls

Lastly, let’s bring this one back to life. It briefly appeared in our big ol’ Thieves Like Us ‘Drugs in My Body’ remix post (here), but we pulled it down so it might still have a go in the official remix contest by Kitsune. Now Rochelle has won the thing, but that doesn’t make this mix any less of a favorite.

Oh man, D*L*i*d sure knows how to get on our good side! Not only is he putting out wicked electro tracks with the Electroluxe Family on French label Quatre Records, but homeboy just did a little remix of Kris Kross‘ 1992 hit, ‘Jump’ that retains everything great about the original but adds just enough crunchy electro blips and beats. I love that it’s not overly done. J.U.M.P. for joy! Missingtoof will always have a soft-spot for those precocious little bastards! Kris Kross 4 ever. Another Bad Creation can suck an egg. Inside-out? What the hell is that?

And for any of you DJs that wanna get clever, here’s the O.G. instrumental with hooks:

Now we gave you a little info on the Electroluxe Family a few months back when we put up their superb ‘Rock that Shit’ track, as remixed by Ed Banger heads Vicarious Bliss. If you forgot, get rememberin’! Also, let’s add the original ’cause it was hot to begin with:
