Laidback Luke has been around for awhile now yet he has certainly made new leaps in 2009. I’m sure you’ve all heard his work with the Swedish House Mafia, most recently, Leave the World Behind. His work with Diplo and the track I’m stamping on this post is quite different than with the housey swedes sitting on the figgity side of things, check it out.
Diplo and Laidback Luke - Hey! (Original Mix)
MSTRKRFT (feat John Legend) - Heartbreaker (Laidback Luke Remix)
and a remix…
Nujax is my latest musical endeavor!
Here’s a write up about us by Culture Of Me: Super quality undiscovered acts are one of those things that we here just really beam about and we’re all aflutter about this new electro duo of bedroom producers/DJs called NUJAX. The boys up in Canada have gotten praise already, scoring a top ten reader’s pick for the Montreal Mirror’s “best of”s, and they’ve shared bills with one of our fave DJs, Cobra Krames. But now with these two tracks, one a tremendous remix of Major Lazer’s Andy Milonakis vehicle “Zumbi” and an original that is unfortunately named “Supa Dupa Fly” but redeems itself and employs a ton of dancefloor banger synths and breakneck drumming, we’re pretty sure these two young dudes will be jumping out front and center in the hearts and minds of those who really love to get sweaty wet and lose his/her shit. Adulation from the reckless youth, your time is now.

At just 18 years old the young one Louis la Roche from the UK is about to release his second EP ”Me and Her”. His first EP “The Peach” had a funk house sound to it that was remiscent of many French house artists. For instance, credit was mistakenly given to Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk for la Roche’s song “Love” which speaks volumes for his skill and the quality of the song itself. Although this style of music is a bit different than the usual head bangin electro we like to get down to it’ll still make you move.

Safely back from his tour of China & Thailand, Hatchmatik is truly on his 2 double O 9 grind, expanding his collection of highly blogged club bangers, and destroying stadium crowds at events such as the world famous Igloofest.
Hatches latest track is a bootleg of ‘The Girls’ by Animal Collective. In a nutshell he makes the original much more danceable and fist-pumpable. This track will surely get lots of playtime in my upcoming sets as it should in yours…

And here are a few of my hatch favs…
Calvin Harris is a musical mastermind for those of you who don’t know (though you should by this point). I Created Disco got some serious playtime last year and since then I’ve slowly been accumulating any remix he gets his hands on. SHIT IS FO REAL. He’s stated that he’s almost completed his sophomore album and released a first single, ‘I’m Not Alone’ that you can check out below (odd myspace version..apologies). Seems to have a different vibe compared to his original stuff but I’m sure the album will be bangin no matter what. I’ma toss up some remixes of his that I’ve really been vibing over the past while so ch ch ch check it outttttttt. The Hours remix is really chilled out, Rock and Roll Attitude is a funky little b side from his Colours single and Off and On is another pretty little ditty. I also threw in a Deadmau5 remix of Merrymaking At My Place if you’re looking for more of a banger. ENJOY!

So I’ve been very lazy on the posting and in order to redeem myself I’ve put together double post action. BOYS NOIZE on tour and… MSTRKRFT new album “Fist of God”.
MSTRKRFT
Nowwww I am aware that there was a recent MSTRKRFT post but it was before the news of a MSTRKRFT new album. Fuck yes. Not much else to say. For me the news is bigger than A-rod juicing and ruining his career. The reported set date for release is MARCH 17th 2009. They’ve been keeping the tracks under heavy security but leak leak CHECK IT. Oh and they will be back in MTL april 19th. ENJOY

If you’re an MTL resident like myself you’ll be happy to know boys noize is back MARCH 21st. For others if you haven’t caught Boys Noize live check out his myspace and get on it. The last show I went to I danced my face off and by the time it was all over I felt like I had been involved in a water balloon fight against the kid from rookie of the year before he slipped and fixed his improbable injury, Gross? Awesome? Grossome? Anyway, he has been dropping remix after remix of hardcore electro, softer shit, in between, in and around etc. Not to mention 3 albums. Basically anything to get the feet moving and head bobbing and he rarely misses. Check out these tracks:
Sebastien Tellier - Amour et Violence (Boys Noize remix)
Royksopp - Happy Noize (Boys Noize Remix)

If you don’t know already, you better read up on these guys… MSTRKRFT, the famed DJ duo from Toronto consistently releases crunchy dance floor bangers that are universally used by practically every frickkkin DJ I know.
Whenever I really want a crowd to go banana pancakes I throw on one of these tracks, sit back and enjoy the mayhem.
These tracks are very poppy but will bring girls to the dance floor like a free Sephora giveaway:
I like to play these tracks at the beginning of my sets to warm the crowd up:
