New DJ nEr0 mix blending different styles of electro and house, both minimal and banging. It is a slight change of pace from what I have been mixing lately and was quite an enjoyable foray into the stuff I’ve been hearing from other djs around town. Check it…

Hot Chip - Touch Too Much (Fake Blood Remix)

By boylostinmusic | November 14, 2008

I haven’t been playing much Hot Chip lately, despite a flurry or remixes that I felt were lackluster. London-based Fake Blood seemed to come out of nowhere with their remix of Little Boots “Stuck on Repeat,” which garnered critical music blog review. I’ve posted that mp3 below, but my favorite remix to come from Fake Blood thus far is their recent work with Hot Chip’s “Touch Too Much.” The whole song manages to be both floaty and danceable, with the perfect punch of electro synth. They also included a nice rework of the Amen Break, with metronome and laughter echoing over a scratch recording. Breaks lovers will appreciate it. Interesting video on the Amen Break is below. Enjoy.

When you said it’s a touch too much I knew, I knew
That I’d be walking home again

Roots Manuva - Slime & Reason

Whenever there is a new post, you will receive an email so that you are on top of the newest tunes.

I wasn’t a big fan of the early Roots Manuva sound. But lately, his releases have been consistently blowing me way and keeping my head nodding. His sound encompasses dub, ragga, funk and hip hop, with a gritty sensibility. It works equally well while relaxing and sparking a spliff as it does to a packed dance floor.

Hailing from poor areas in South London with clear Jamaican roots, Rodney Smith has really stepped it up with his latest album release, Slime & Reason. It is solid from start to finish and has been on heavy rotation not only in my headphones, but in my club sets. It is warm, rich and makes you want to move, without being too overwhelming or repetitive. Zane Lowe on Radio One has declared it the hottest album in the world and I can’t disagree.

Roots Manuva has worked with Cut Copy, Amon Tobin, DJ Shadow, Freq Nasty, Chali 2Na and Herbaliser. Check out his Myspace page and go out and buy the album. You won’t be disappointed. In the meantime, here are a few choice tracks, including a few really dope remixes…
