ALLO. The summer weather in LA is uncharacteristic, for the lack of a better word. June is here and thunderstorms, lightning bolts, and rain loom in the skies.
To continue with my series of summer music, Miami Horror will be the first in line for this post. (These) Guys aren’t strangers in blogdom, nor are they strangers here. I don’t remember ever posting any of their original productions, but let me preface this and say, it’s ALL GOOD HOMIE. All you need to do is close your eyes and pick any track he’s ever made and it will be gold.
Summer sounds its best with Miami Horror’s ‘Make You Mine’ off of the Bravado EP. Hand claps, bongos, SUPER FLUTE, summer, summer, summer. I hear some ‘Music Sounds Better with You’ filtered guitar riffs in there too. A healthy addition to any throwback. Can you hear it?

On the topic of gloomy skies in LA, remember back to the last post in which I mentioned Breakbot being signed to Ed Banger. There was a remix I completely forgot about and it would have been quite fitting for the situation. Unholy matrimony at its best.
Breakbot remixed Ed Banger poster boys, Justice ‘Let There Be Light’. It is SO Breakbot, SO good. Have your drink in hand by the pool and let this ride.

My trusty steed of 4+ years has finally failed me. The backlight or inverter on my 17″ Powerbook finally gave out and I’m left with a gimpy computer through which I cannot see the cyber world. I have finally gotten around to hooking up an external monitor and getting back to my normal daily grind.
This happened just after vacation which would explain the insane delay in content between now and my last post.
Hello everyone, I’m still here.
Lately I’ve been getting down to fat and funky basslines and Lovelock from NY has been kicking out the jams. Word up to Aleks from the discodust for uncovering this gem. (ps: let’s start more mailing lists please)
listen for the awesome synth keyboarding:
Lovelock – Maybe Tonight

Speaking of funky bass lines, Fred Falke has been making his rounds in the blog world lately. This balding, stiff looking french man may be awkward in real life, but he brings the funk. The collaboration of Fred Falke’s fret burning bass skills and Miami Horror’s nostalgic synth stabs is heaven when added to Pnau’s “Embrace”.

Finally what post on this website would be complete without a track by Midnight Juggernauts? Arguably one of my favorite bands in Australia (possibly the world) right now.
Gearing up for their new single release, come a slew of remixes for “Into the Galaxy”. Also a really dope dope dope dope (more dope) video:
It has been established that the “big gay australian circle jerk” phenomenon exists, however, Paris is destined to break the trend. Chateau Marmont (not to be confused with Chateau Marmont –my new residence) added a much needed parisian twist to this track (next next level blog music inbreeding). Anyway, fuck typing all this, just listen.

I just finished sifting through a shit ton of emails, and I’m pleased to say that quite a few things made my ears and eyes happy. Stay tuned.
ps: does anyone out there at Apple want to gift me a macbook pro? I’d really like that.
pps: i heard you can get free and steezy sunglasses that will instantly increase your street cred at glahsez.
more ‘australia on australia’ love making

So I’m over here in the United States, totally not having an awesome time, because the Australians are hogging all the good artists and hoarding them!!
It’s like those old fucking vietnamese ladies at the super market hoarding all the 50 pound bags of rice because of the ‘rice shortage‘
But whatever, thank GOD Al Gore invented the internet, because without it, I wouldn’t be able to feast my ears on this sinfully delicious audio porno as soon as I would like to.
Harking back to my (unnoticed) return to blogville where I outlined why I love australia; I mentioned only a fraction of what completes the awesomeness that is Australia. The other parts to that pie are still waiting to be blogged, but here’s another tiny slice.
For some reason, I’ve never mentioned Miami Horror. Probably cause everyone else blew their wads over them for the last 5 months….non stop. Quite unnecessary to add to the sludge fest… so I’ll just go ahead and assume that you know the know.
And here they are, once again, adding to the ‘big gay circle jerk‘, remixing Midnight Juggernauts – Road To Recovery.
Miami Horror knows what’s good. Don’t fuck with a masterpiece. So they didn’t. They threw some clean synths, some tasty bridge edits, some cuts here, some cuts there, added a sample or two, and DESTROYED THE FUCK out of it.

thank you, may I have another?
…why YES YOU CERTAINLY MAY
This time, Miami Horror’s victim is Datarock who strangely isn’t from australia??? WTF>>> Nope. Norway. Fuckin norway..

thanks, Miami Horror, for breaking the incestuous australian circle jerk and branching out to Norway. The future of the world is probably safe now.
PS: I’m pitching a tent in my pants over the new Presets LP, Apocalypso. Buy it as soon as humanly possible. On amazon if you want.
PPS: Does anyone know Lang Lang personally? Does anyone know what makes him so bad ass? Does anyone know why he can levitate? Does anyone know why Lang Lang has a name, then another name?
