I have a separate email for the myspace account, it’s ‘discojockeys [at] tuftsmania [dot] com’ and I thought I might just check it for fun. (prior to this, I didn’t even think of forwarding it to my main address, chris@tuftsmania.com) –speaking of social networking.. I’ve been stepping my game up! If you haven’t added me on facebook, twitter, myspace….. you’re missing out on some sweet memes.
Anyway, I found some awesome gems in there. Another mass CC message which I promptly replied to. This time it was a ‘what are you eating right now’ meme. The music blogging community has some definitely stellar taste in food. Especially MAD DECENT (not sure which blogger), rocking it downtown chinatown style with the vietnamese classic, “Banh Mi“. Word up to mad decent.
The original promo email that had us all on the same list was of an artist I’d never heard of. ChicandtheTramp rocks it daily over in Switzerland and I’m impressed. The heavy banger………STILL BURNS IN MY HEART…. or maybe it’s the Pink’s Chili Dogs.

Also I recently got my hands on the recent bootleg production of The Beach Boys – Locals Only. It was put together by the Black Lights and features remixes from Johnatron, bulimiatron, black lights, thavius (what’s up fellow CCer), ricky dollars, futuristic prince, and subtitle (what’s his myspace?).
Going through this album, most of the remixes are somewhat more abstract with core beats other than the standard 4/4… and that is awesome, but this is what immediately caught my attention. Definite crowd pleaser… so accessible.

If you’re interested, download it for FREE at the Black Lights Blog, leave a comment and show them some love for their hard work.
This is a similar project to what Buffet Libre is doing with their ’80’s rewind project’ and I would love to see more of this kind of stuff in the future.
Lemme know what you think. If any links are dead… lemme know. The heat in LA is warping my mind.

Oh, that Roxanne remix is hot! Isn’t there an extended remix or something? That’d be awesome.
This is all going down well with my Gazpacho.
long live the meme
Wow, what a post. Absolutely love 3 out of the 4 tracks. Not a big fan of the johnatron remix, though. Sounds really “forced”. Dunno, just cant get into it. But all the others are absolutely fabulous. Great work (you got some serious photgraphy skills by the way)
PS. Why isnt there more hype around Touché (http://www.myspace.com/touchelondon) ? His tunes are so wicked. (Would love to find a free full version of “command me”)
@tyson, haven’t heard an ‘official’ extended mix of that track.
@andrew i hope your gazpacho was nice and cool on this hot summer day
@jason good seeing you today <3
@alec thanks, i heard similar things from some friends about the johnatron remix.
Yeah dude. I’ll be the first one to admit that I feel like I can’t really play it out. I like it and I stand by it but I realize its pretty poppy. Please check out more of my edits at http://www.discoworkout.com though for sureeee.
@alec – What do you mean about touche? I think he has helllla hype surrounding him (well deserved), but I think its dissapated a little these past few years.
@johnatron i am feeling the pop. anyway, I never realized you ran discoworkout. sweet
@Johnatron cool to see you here. I started listening to electro music about a year ago. So thats why I ddidnt know that there actually was a hype surrounding him at some stage. I just went by accident on his myspace page and really liked his sound. I tryd to find him on hypemachine etc. but didnt have any success. Thats why I thought that he might have been overlooked. So people actually know “touché”? I have never seen any blog mentioning him.
