Noodleman

Continuing on a disco path here’s  Noodleman, a deep disco dj/producer from our close neighbor to the north. Reworked, reedited and heavily buttered, I’m really liking his stuff. He’s signed to the Toronto label, Vibing Records, who’s motto is cooking deepness and enjoying serving it to people. The Noodleworks 001 EP will be released this Thursday, February 11th.

Stomp

It’s Saturday Night Fever over here. Only Children are back with another signature disco house gem- the kind Chicago is getting to be for in some circles.

Bothers Johnson – Stomp (Only Children Remix)

You can catch Only Children live here in Chicago the next two Fridays. First at One Night Stand’s Heart Attack! with Moneypenny, Kid Color & Team Bayside High. Next Friday at Trick Disco with Ghosts Of Venice, Le Principle & OCD Automatic.

Donut Video

video: Booka Shade vs. M.A.N.D.Y. – Donut [buy]

Here’s the latest video from two of Living The Dream’s finest. The Donut EP contains stellar remixes by the likes of James Talk, Ben Hoo, Logistics, Bearweasel, a wildly popular Gui Boratto remix and the much anticipated Boy 8-Bit version featured below. What’s not to love, really?

John Dahlback @ Spybar

John Dahlback, Sweedish DJ/Producer and owner of Pickadoll Records will be at Spybar tonight! I can’t put in words how amazing his last gig was in July. If you were there you know what I’m talking about. Oh, and the cover is free if you mention you’re with ‘ego‘ at the door, courtesy of my fine friend John.

Here’s a a little bit of motivation for you, an original kicked around a bit by one of my favorite techno giants, Sebo K. Not necessarily new, but it certainly hasn’t gotten old yet. Where’s that Sebo K tour already!?

Delorean Nights Launch

Delorean Nites (rsvp), a new monthly dance at Lincoln Hall is kicking off Saturday, February 6, 2010. Starting off strong, the headliner will be iheartcomix’ electro party killers, Designer Drugs. Backing them up with a serious roster, expect to see Skyler, Punky Fresh, Custom Vibe’s Broken Disco 1980 and Delorean Nites’ masterminds Midnight Conspiracy. Madness!

Designer Drugs – Drop Down

Rocket

Looks like we have us a new Grum piece. It’s one of several Goldfrapp “Rocket” remixes that are sure to emerge. I have to say- Alison’s vox and Grum’s glittery synths are pretty nice together. I’m really looking forward to hearing the Penguin Prison one. Hopefully we’ll see that sooner than later. For a sure bet, Head First, the next full length to come from Goldfrapp, will be out in early March.

Haitian Relief Party @ The Red Canary

Ladies Aiding Haiti in association with Save The Children will be hosting a fund raiser for Haitian Relief at The Red Canary (695 N. Milwaukee) on Thursday, February 4th. They’re asking for a (suggested) $20 at the door and all funds raised will be matched by The Red Canary. [details]

Thanks to the charity of several local businesses, there will be complimentary cocktails, hors d’oeurves, chair massages, gift bags, and so forth. Music will be provided by DJs Intel, Merk1 and myself so you know it will be awesome. Also- check out the flyer i designed- pretty nice, eh?

Ahhh

Sorry guys, kinda in a hurry here so I’ma be brief. Got quite a diverse selection today…

If you haven’t heard of Midnight Conspiracy and you live in the Chicago area, I’m willing to bet you don’t get out much. Here’s the trio’s debut remix of Chromeo’s “Night By Night.” Mmm. Sweaty synthesizers…

Chromeo – Night By Night (Midnight Conspiracy Remix)

Man, Beyonce cleaned up last night. Here’s the Major Lazer rendition of “Halo,” which is something a little more palatable for my tastes…

Major Lazer – Halo (Beyonce Cover)

Satoshi Tomiie is back with a new track under the guise of MES. There are also a few Motorcitysoul remixes on the single as well- well worth checking out, I always love their direction.

MES (Satoshi Tomiie) – Back To Basics

Got these new Edu K joints in the mail yesterday. Nothing to complain about there! Especially considering that it also included a Brodinski version! Yay!

Edu K – Flutesnoot

Edu K – Flutesnoot (Brodinski B-Live Remix)

Odessa

I’m really liking the new Caribou track. This one is taken from the upcoming Swim LP, the latest album since ’07’s Andorra. The goal is dance music that sounds like water. Interesting concept.

Expect the release to hit the shelves April 19th on City Slang. I’m hoping Dan Snaith make his rounds and hits Chicago sometime soon. Him and the ensemble, that is.

Caribou – Odessa

Blende

Received this Blende remix in my inbox the other day. It has been a while since he has graced my playlist, but that doesn’t mean I have forgotten about him. No sir, not after that awesome Adrian Lux remix that I was tripping over in ‘08. Keep an eye out for his new material, coming out on his own label, Teenage Riot.

MSTRKFT – Breakaway (Blende Remix)

Adrian Lux – Strawberry (Blende Remix)

Grace

It’s really too bad I have never been to San Francisco…

Pulled this one from As Heard From Mars, one of my more frequent reads in the blog world lately. It’s the Justin Martin remix of Mike Monday’s “Grace,” originally featured on Justin Martin’s Remake EP in November, re-released on Monday’s Remixes Without Words EP only about two weeks ago on OM.

Mike Monday – Grace (Justin Martin Remix)

Mas De Zombie

Further building on the breakthrough ‘09 release, Zombie Nation is set to release Zombilicious Remixes Part 2 today on Turbo. For a little taste, here’s the Rebolledo remix of “Mas De Todo.” Chugs along quite nicely, doesn’t it?

Zombie Nation – Mas De Todo (Robodello Remix)

And for good measure, why not include the classic Presets remix he whipped up a while back? Kinda slipped the radar for some after that Lifelike version hit the blogs.

Presets – This Boy’s In Love (Zombie Nation Remix)

Brooklyn Bridge

Saw this little gem Linked on GhostlyInt’s twitter. Posted on Michna’s Soundcloud. Here’s the Michna remix of Joy Orbison’s “Brklyn Clln.”

I haven’t heard much from Michna since he stepped in and took Benga’s spot at DEMF when he was caught up in airport nonsense. Was a great set.

Heading West

Ah yes. Just what the doctor ordered. Danger is back with “4h30,” another chronologically themed french electro gem that’s to be featured on 09/17 2007, set to be released on Ekleroshock in one week from today. If my predictions are correct, we’ll be seeing Danger in the Sahara Tent this year.  I could be wrong, but Goldenvoice has been sleepin’ on that crew for wayyy too long.

Danger – 4h30

Here’s another really solid reason why anything Matthew Dear (or Audion, if you prefer) touches is amazing. It seems like 2009 was just a warmup. I’m really excited to see what Dear’s got in store for us this decade, starting with that LP he’s been working on. Go pick up “Instant In You” if you’re getting a little impatient as well..  [thanks regnsky]

The XX – VCR (Matthew Dear Remix)

It’s been a while, probably since the Living Legends/Mystic Journeymen/3MG days since I’ve been this down with what comes out the West Coast. Big ups to Alpha Pup. Thank god Nosaj Thing will be on the scene when Daedalus comes back to Chicago. Feb 15th at Lincoln Hall for all y’all sleepin- don’t worry, I’ll remind you a few days before. That’s what I’m here for.
