…but now I’m hearing good things IN MY EARS FROM BARCELONA. I know you all have heard “The Boola” from Mendetz, or a variation of it (download: plus move remix). Well, here’s me presenting to you, The Requesters, hailing from Barcelona (as well as Mendetz)!! I effing love foreigners more than ever.
Their remix takes the track in a direction that I was pleased to see it transform into. Glitching the vocals, cueing “the boola”, and then an awesome compression buildup into the bridge. The track proceeds to build a somewhat new melody, and OMG I love the organ + hand claps into the chorus vocals.
oh hell. I’m going to have to make some changes to my best of 07 mixtape. wait. did I just let that slip?

well, not really the congo, but Milano….THAT IS FOR LATER. LISTEN NOW.
——-> Minor Apple Mail freakout session tonight. EVERYONE, IF YOU EMAILED ME AND I DID NOT RESPOND, HIT ME BACK AGAIN.
I am still getting used to how gmail is implementing their IMAP folders and apparently, to mark messages as ‘non spam’, you just delete it from the spam folder. DO NOT TRY TO MOVE THE NON-SPAM MESSAGE TO A DIFFERENT FOLDER. IT WILL BE LOST FOREVER IN THE INTERNETZ////.<--------
update: actually, just checking the proper gmail account helps. life: 999, this guy: 0. I still can’t get the messages back in apple mail though.

Anyway, I did get to snag a sweeeet message from my spam folder before I nuked everything. It was from Rocco of CONGOROCK in Milano. (Rocco, if you’re reading this, HIT ME BACK!) After dropping that massssssssive track with the Bloody Beetroots, which you heard here, Congorock is back at it with this MUST LISTEN track, “Exodus”. It has that signature hard-house Congorock sound that will make any party explode into head-banging, body-thrashing, convulsing dance.
drop it into the very start, dead middle, or grand finale of your set and PUMP YO’ FIST.

Some of my fav. LA locals, Royal Rumble just finished a sweeeeeezy remix of Soulwax - Miserable Girl.
I’ve always enjoyed RR’s edit work, but this is by far my favorite yet. They cut and cut and reloop and cut and cut at all the right spots.
glitch always finds that it has a special place in my heart.
There are a few other remixes in the works, so be on the lookout! Catch the Royal Rumble at very many places in LA this year. if you want specifics, peep the myspace.

ps: if you’re ever around Russ while he’s on stage, be careful or else you’ll end up with a handle of vodka in your BELLY.
looks like someone has a case of the mondays

I woke to a chilly morning and rode my bike through the dense layer of tingling moisture to school. Same as every Monday morning. This Monday was destined to be different I thought.
Lo and behold, when I come home, what’s waiting for me? DAFT PUNK‘S ALIVE2007!!! I was beyond excited.
So. After the 5 or so hours I’ve been home, I’ve given the album 3 complete run throughs, (yes, including the encore disc).
verdict: daft punk live is apocalypse. in a good way.
Sorry that I don’t have more to say on this matter. Just buy/preorder it depending on where you live.
I was so hyped on this that I made a headache-induced, really poorly mixed, minimix. say that 10 times fast.
listen to it.
