Virgin Megastore went belly up not too long ago. Naturally I was all over that shit like a fly. I originally rolled in expecting to find some awesome ICE AGE + SURF’S UP dvds for cheap as hell, but I didn’t find anything of the sort. Just a bunch of shit Sly Stallone movie sequels. As I was leaving something caught my eye: a blank white 12″ sleeve with grey lightning bolt center label. I knew could only come from one label house and that being DFA. Turned out to be a Panthers remix EP, and I copped that shit like it was peking duck sunday morning. FOR TWO DOLLARS. I also snapped up a Franz & Shape EP which you’ll hear from further down.
Dear Virgin, thanks for failing, so I could get this awesome 12″.
So here’s the Holy Ghost! remix of Goblin City and it is so disco it hurts (so good).

I would have ripped this for you, but I haven’t gotten around to getting an interface for my record player –> computer. who cares, this digital rip sounds better anyway.
—-breaktime for breakbot——\
I don’t believe I’ve ever posted any Breakbot before and I’m really sorry, I should have (I’m sorry to myself, not you. Sorry Chris). Pure negligence. All you need to know is that Breakbot is japanese magic.
Check out the mangy OOC bassline lead-in. MONEY IN DA BANK.

I couldn’t help myself with the title, but rest assured, I’m not posting a fucking pic of some shitty dude wearing a joker costume.
I’m just posting the new Lost Valentinos single. The original production is a trip through a psychedelic time where vocals actually have value and ethereal sounds trump 909 bass. Feast on the borderline tribal percussion and the galaxial keyboard synths 4ever and ever.

This remix is by Hollywood’s, Jump Jump Dance Dance. (check out ‘city on fire’ on myspace and hopefully more on them soon right here!)
To be honest at first I thought it was some new Van She Tech production. (where the hell has VST been anyway?) This is in no way a bad thing. It took me back to the golden days when VST made shameless poppy disco synthy freakouts.
enyoy.
seriously.

This EP featuring remixes from a gang of other high-credibility remixers is out sometime ’soon’, so keep on the lookout. (the Jacques Renault dub is monayyy) It’s also worth mentioning that Lost Valentinos always have STELLAR album art. always. hybrid battleships and shit.
Tufts’ notes: Lost Valentinos = the shit; Jump Jump Dance dance = the shit; where the fuck did Van She Tech go?
bring that funk back

Aside from looping 1901 all day, I’ve been listening to a lot of classics. Real classics. Not blog houze hits from 2005. I’m talking 1975 Lonnie Liston Smith. Unfortunately this isn’t what I’m posting today. I mention Lonnie because I just copped a fun ass track of The Constellations which Death Metal Disco Scene remixed and turned the mellow vibe into a FUNK BEAST. I know they dipped their fingers into the classic jazz/funk pool for this one.

I don’t know why this wasn’t ★★★★★’d in my iTunes library. Perhaps it was a casualty of my pre-starring days, but after I jumped back in time for a throwback to my +favs from the latter years, I immediately dropped the fist of stars on this gem.
IT IS SO HARRRDDD!!! (that’s what she said)
Please play this, 5 times, volume no less than maximum. blow speakers. break windows.
