To help bring in MSTRKRFT right, it’s time to throw down some Death From Above 1979. For those of you who are not in the know -which is hope is a small fraction- DFA79 was the group that JFK of the ‘KRFT & Sebastian Grainger came together to form. Elephant noses and all, they turned heads the world over before the electro-punk duo kicked the bucket and each went on to continue to alter the face of music seperately.

Johnatron, from over at DiscoWorkout, dropped (always droppin’ the hot shit) a Squarepusher remix the other day with his “My Red Hot Car” edit. It’s nice to see people referring back to the classics, I don’t know where my head would be without Squarepusher banging in my headphones my entire highschool career. Some of the most influential music that I listened to when I was younger came from his direction.

Another track that I’ve been chilling on, zoning out to in a nostalgic daze, is Solid Gold’s “Who You Gonna Run To?”, off of their self titled EP. I’m really vibing to it, and though it is such a nice piece with it’s casual tone, I do like what Woltie did with it. Love the brass. I know that I’ve said it before, but I always feel that the best electronic music is sad.

John from Neon Coyote turned me on to this Yeasayer remix by local Chicago artists Hey Champ DJ’s. Its hard to even explain how much I like this song. I’ve been told numerous times to peep the Yeasayer album, this is now repositioning it on my priorities, for sure. Spending a majority of their time as Hey Champ, every now and then Jonathan Marks, Saam Hagshenas, Pete Dougherty find time to whip up some killer electronic jems, as Hey Champ DJ’s, that I hope to feature more of in the near future. Hey Champ recently released a live EP that you can cop on iTunes as well, so go do that.

Time for a fat throwback for all y’all this weekend. What’s solid about this tune is that all you neon hipster kids won’t have to change gear to rock out to it, these fools pioneered that shit. LA LA LA LA LA LA LA! Who wants to remix this one for me? Toss some bass on it and let ‘er rip. Give it a shot, eh?

Kim Wilde - Kids In America

To top this all off, we have Roccanova dropping in to throw a “NYC Beat” remix at all y’all. If there’s a better track to drop on a crowd of kids in this city, let me know. Every time I see a DJ play this for a crowd in my city the dancefloor sets on fire. I’m glad we have Rocc on top of things, ready to show us another side of the classic. And just for tonight, to further amp myself up, i gotta toss on the MSTRKRFT remix one more time, right??
