Yes, it’s been a while… again. Four posts in April is pretty lame, and I could bore you with shitty excuses, but instead I’ll get right to making up for it with this bunch of unreal tracks, some of my definite favourites right now.

Ratatat - Germany to Germany [MediaFire]

Notorious B.I.G. - Party & Bullshit (Ratatat Remix) [MediaFire]

An old classic and great remix from, in my opinion, the best American electronic act around right now. Saw them last weekend at the Tivoli, and although some could say their music is “chilled out”, they rocked the place to its foundations. Most punters left right after them, not bothering with Regurgitator, poor guys.

Van She - Strangers [MediaFire]

Saw these guys recently as well, around the start of March. This was one of the standout “new” tracks they played from their upcoming “V” LP which should be out in June/August. Having never heard it and not knowing its name, it still stuck with me after the show, a few parts of it are really memorable.

Spencer Parker - Open Your Eyes (Surkin Remix) [MediaFire]

If you want to know what all the fuss regarding Surkin is about, cop this track. It has all the classic elements of any tune by the young French producer, the chopped vocals, driving keyboard loops and general “rave” feel make it a dance floor killer.

Roisin Murphy - Overpowered (Kris Menace Remix) [MediaFire]

Slowing things right down, Kris Menace delivers another trademark French touch track, the lovely airy synths compliment Ms. Murphy’s beautiful voice tremendously. Shit, it’s like I’m writing an English essay on adjectives here. Nonetheless it’s a nice cool alternative to the hectic Herve remix, which frankly leaves me feeling rather trepidatious.

South Rakkas Crew - Mad Again (Boy 8-Bit Remix) [MediaFire]

Something about a Jamaican(ish) fellah spittin’ on a bmore/electro beat makes me want to move. Much better musical output from the island nation than say, The Baha Men, or even Supafly.

Danger - 11h30 (Kurtech Remix) [MediaFire]

Probably my favourite Danger track gets the rework from Aussie youngster Kurtech, give him some myspace love for this terrific edit.

Feadz - Hawaian Smut [MediaFire]

Another fun track from Feadz, with some awesome vocal loops. dododo do that stuff that ya mumma calls smut!

Mr. Flash - Over The Top [MediaFire]

Uffie - Robot Oeuf [MediaFire]

Two tracks off the third Ed Banger Records Compilation, due out May 26th. The Mr. Flash track is like any other of his great tunes, just maybe a bit more “beefed up” and faster. On Robot Oeuf, Uffie churns out an atypical rhyme about mothafucka’s, partying, and generally being a scrubber, but the beat is where the money is. Not sure who produced it but sounds to me like Oizo or Feadz, very nice stuff.

So there you are, hopefully it’s not another fortnight til we next meet, I’d hate to have to do one of these huge fuckers again.

PS. If you’re from Brissy and looking for something to do on Saturday night, pop into the Valley Studios on Ann St (Next to Birdee Num Num’s). I’m support DJ for a night of local live music featuring a few stellar young Brisbane bands. And best of all, it’s BYO. Yep, for $12 entry you can bring in as much piss as you wish, even eski’s of it. Night kicks off at 7:30. More details on my myspace.
