Bambou Banga!

Okay, so I'm not, not currently loving this track! Yeah, yeah I know two of my last four posts have been about Sebastien Leger, but I don't even care...that's how good his music is. His newest Mistakes release, entitled Bambou does not disappoint. This beautiful, stripped-down track is so flowing and dancy. It pretty much sounds like someone is making love to a Marimba in a 4/4 beat. It's very terrace a-la 7 in the morning'esque. I highly recommend the A-side of the EP called Talisman as well. In typical Leger fashion, it takes a bit to build, but the payoff is well worth the wait....and I'm spent.

Felix's Revenge

Miami's great Latino hope, Lazaro Casanova released Venganza a few months back. After being championed by the likes of MSTRKRFT, you knew there were also some sick remixes about to drop, and drop they have. Venganza received the royal treatment from Acid Jacks, The House Moguls (who previously turned out a proper mix of One More Time), and Canadian face melter Felix Cartal. Cartal's remix recalls the old Klingon proverb, "revenge is a dish best served cold"...or in the club.

Shake it Down

"Holland's beloved house music-loving homeboy, Laidback Luke is on an international mission to rock clubs, win hearts, and top charts." I don't think that there could be a more fitting description for this red-hot Dutch DJ. I'm not sure if Laidback Luke doesn't sleep and makes music to regenerate, or if he bangs out a track in 45 minutes, but this guy's discography reads like a novel. With over 100 recordings in 2006 alone, he is on a breakneck pace to remix every artist...ever. All kidding aside, his talent shines on this number with help from A-Trak. It comes fresh out of the box ready for the dancefloor. A nice crescendo starts things off, and then the bottom falls out; leaving nothing but a well-constructed electro-house-tribal-tech jam. It's that simple. Check it.

Kissy Gets A Show!

I can't put my finger on why I like Kissy Sell Out so much. I'm not sure if its because he looks like a great guy to chill with, his own brand of electro-crunk party music, the fact that he wears tights, or plays the keytar. The last of which, being something that makes anybody as cool as Miles Davis to me. Well, either way, this UK raver has officially made it, landing his own Rock 'n Rave show on BBC Radio 1 Thursdays from midnight-2am.

Here's what Kissy has to say about his new gig:
"I've been teased most of my life for dressing differently and listening to strange records so when I was first signed by Radio 1 for a monthly slot I decided that I would work as hard as I could to transform those precious two hours into my own personal magical mystery tour of alternative dance music, a seamlessly mixed adventure to celebrate eclecticism, and where the music wasn't exclusively new or old, signed or unsigned but just good and daring to be different."

Cross the Dancefloor

I've been vibing off this track for the last couple of weeks and I thought, "better late than never." Fool's Gold artist Treasure Fingers released his Cross the Dancefloor EP with remixes by Laidback Luke, Chromeo, Curses!, and got the French touch from Lifelike.

I'm Sorry...

...for the lack of posting. But, I was movin on up, to the east side...literally. A move across town left me with no internet for a couple weeks. But fear not, party people! I am up and running and dropsicle will be unleashing an auditory assault, so turn on, tune in, and rock out!
