Next Friday will be my home boy Kevin’s birthday party and for the occasion, he got myself and DJ New Money to spin at the caribou Lounge in Mont Tremblant QC. Hopefully Kev makes it to the bar… Here are today’s musical arrangements I refer too as bangers…
Gladiator (Steve Aoki x DJ AM Remix) – AutoErotique
Life of the Party (Bastille’s Let’s Get Down Remix) – The Jackson 5
There have been many different reviews on the latest album from the Toronto based electro duo MSTRKRFT. Billboard said “The combination of old-school melody and post-mod dissonance is risky, bold, and one of the most exciting releases of the year so far.”, while PopMatters was less impressed saying “In a genre filled with faceless artists, MSTRKRFT only manage to stand out by being exceptionally faceless.” While RollingStone met them in the middle comically saying “MSTRKRFT keep things bouncing, but they never match Daft Punk or Justice on the hook or cleverness quotient. They’re like those drunk, loud dudes at a party: They’re having a good time, but you might not be.” – One thing that I enjoyed out of this album is the remixes that have been and continue to surface, the latest being Laidback Luke’s offering on Heartbreaker. It’s not 320kbps, ill update it as soon as I find it.

Jamming to the song from this posts title, I recently stumbled on this other track featuring our favorite 808, politically incorrect MC….Song is called Gifted, and the Steve Aoki rework is definatly just that. I must admit im prolly a lil newer to the electro scene than most people who follow this blog, but in the last couple months ive stepped my game up and applied myself fully to this energetic, youth scene…..songs like this make me wanna spin live in front of mad amounts of rowdy party goers….I hope it brings about the same energy in you….
