Oh and here is a bonus track and the video for Bounce
I found this the other day on Deckhead who found this on Asian Dan but really doesn’t matter where I found it cause its freakin awesome. Para One has remade some classic classical pieces into some electro BANGERZ!!! Well not quite but he has re written some classic pieces with the electronic/software assortment. I really only have one word for both these songs, and that word is EPIC!! Read over at Asian Dan for the background on both these pieces..
To post these tracks ages ago but it just never happened…
Any how. First up, is a track called Machine by Death+Taxes which is really dark with a strong rock influence. It reminds me of something to power on through a dark late night drive.
This next track is from a band out of San Francisco called Good Luck At The Gunfight really loving this track now. Lots and lots of floating apregiators. The have some other really cool tracks on their myspace as well.
Finally Gunstar… strings, apregiation and a bit of fuzz… I don’t why but i really like this one, I think it must be the heavy Disco Texas influence in it.
I’ve had this track for nearly two years now, and yet I think I heard it for the first time the other day whilst my itunes was on shuffle. I don’t know how I ever skimmed passed it. Bloody brilliant and super bouncy. Although I’d love to find a 320kbps version of It, I think the only place you can buy it is from Juno on vinyl.
I’ve praised this group once previously. Spook has done the same with the Fred Faulke remix of Golden Cage. I just can’t stop listening to this track, or indeed the new album ‘Rules’. It just grooves. Do yourself a favour and buy it.
So I may have got a little excited with that opening, but when possibly two of my favourite bands are playing in Wollongong, at my spiritual clubbing birthplace (yes, i was a long haired grom once who frequented that den of Top 40 hedonism every weekend for $1 drinks and the chance to grind on the dancefloor), I tend to get excited.
Ratatat. Tame Impala. The Vines DJ’s. Fait Accompli. Young & Restless plus more. Waves. Thursday May 7.
It’s a pretty epic lineup, and a big coup getting NY Hipster’s Ratatat down the F6 for the show. Throw in Tame Impala (listen to their track Half Glass Of Wine, huge Cream/Clapton sounding riff, really vibing on these guys at the moment), plus the supports, and it’s easily the best lineup for a live music gig i’ve seen in Wollongong for years.
It’s bought to you by those crazy cats over at Libertine Ranch, and My Sydney Riot. And we all know how most parties put on by the Libertine crew end up… this will be no exception.
One last thing… it’s a masquerade party. A mask is a must.
I know how much you guys loved the last CCC track I put up so I’ve got for you another. This one is off their forthcoming EP ‘Apocalypse’ which will be out on the 7th of April on Beatport. Lap it up
