Just when I’m about to forget about Paris being awesome, 25 Hours a Day (25HAD) womps me in the face. Now I’m fully aware that this track isn’t 0-day cutting edge, just released 23 seconds ago, so don’t get all elitist/new rave on me.
The fact of the matter is, Phoenix is awesome and will murder you with sound in your sleep. The same can and will be said of 25HAD. (awesome, murder, sound). For the uninformed, 25HAD is comprised of member(s) from the absolutely amazing parisian band, Fortune (awesome, murder, sound–play ‘bully’ on myspace)
So, finally onto the track previously mentioned. It’s a remix of Phoenix’ “Long Distance Call” from their most recent album, “It’s Never Been Like That” and 25HAD puts their spin on it. Making sure not to destroy the integrity of the original track, samples and cuts from the original track were repeated, sliced, and extended to make a crisp and lighter, danceable track. All the good riffs are intact from the original track, and you won’t miss a thing.
holy shit, did I just write that? wtf!!!! just listen you shits!!
Phoenix - It’s Never Been Like That (25HAD RMX)(right click, save as)
summary: Paris is awesome again, 25 Hours a Day, Fortune (listen on myspace), Phoenix, sound, murder, sleep.

Thank god it’s the end of the week and the beginning of a lonnnngg 3 day weekend. (for those of you in the United States)
I just heard a little snippet preview of your favorite Belgiumians Soulwax‘ remix of LCD Soundsystem’s “Get Innocuous” and it’s SOO DISCO ACE!! I’ll post it as soon as I can get my slimy fingers on that wax goodness.
But right now I’m packing for a short little flight up to Sacramento for a nice weekend alas no worrriiiez, daddy tuftsmania is gonna leave you guys with a little some’some.
Here’s a track…. something that you’ll just have to embrace. It’s part of life.
Supermayer, hailing from Germany, really bleeds a Deutsche sound… I don’t know why but it’s very quirky a’la Stereo Total.
Supermayer - The Art of Letting Go
Kris Menace is my new hero. I had heard his tracks in the past, but he really blew my mind on the Lumberjack track with Alan Braxe (which I was totally psyched over). And now here we have an awesome remix of the Midnight Juggernauts that fluokids recently dropped on my ass. Bring the electro house!! Also check that fluokids link for more disco than your little pacemaker-aided heart can handle (ladyhawke!!)
Midnight Juggernauts - Out of the Storm (Kris Menace Magic Touch)
Lastly, what do we have here? WTF!PARIS. That’s right, another killer track from fucking parisians. I don’t know what it is, but for some reason, french bands that sing in english just get me hooked. Stuck in Sound aren’t quite electro/techno, but follow more closely along the lines of heavy disco/punk. The pulsating bass line and piercing/stabbing high-overdrive guitars hit it so well in this track. BEASTTTLY FRENCH.
boooyaa.
paris.
(ps: remix? is anybody there?)

I have this problem with beatmashing glitches and spin down pitch bending. Something Xavier from JUSTICE does all too much. This post is going to be long, so get ready.
First off, the tracklist for the JUSTICE LP has been released and it follows as such:
01 Genesis
02 Let There Be Light
03 D.A.N.C.E.
04 New Jack
05 Phantom
06 Phantom pt. II
07 Valentine
08 The Party
09 DVNO
10 Stress
11 Waters of Nazareth
12 One Minute to Midnight
Some tracks we’ve all heard, and the rest most of us haven’t :). ANYWAY, expect the tracks you heard already to be remastered and and generally more awesome than they already are.
second on the list,
This is the final version of the D.A.N.C.E. video, and to my dismay, the gunshot scene is missing. It is certainly more polished than the rough cut, and the SFX in the door open/close scene is there… but… the drama of that amazing gunshot scene is forever lost. can someone please rip the old video from youtube and send it to me?(click)
Finally, here’s a new remix from TEPR, they’re not Justice…but
…FUCK JUSTICE!!
new? uffie

So I stumbled around the internet tonight…and France has shown me the light! hahah uhhh… I guess you’ll get the joke after you listen to the track.
Anyway, this seems to be yet another demo from Uffie, and it sounds like a radio rip. Let me know what you think. I guess I’m still hyped on the girl/hip-hop/electro/uff scene.
…the first step is admitting you have a problem.
uffie - first love (no official title)
sometimes things go unnoticed.

paris paris france france blah blah blah blah.
By now I have learned to live with being screwed by nikeID Paris, and can’t stop praising Paris. You’ve heard me mention datA a teeny bit in other posts, but let me tell you again… those dirty frenchies know how to grow thin moustaches AND know how to make music of ALL kinds.
here’s a track from TEPR that was remixed and completely changed by datA. The original was just as good and I now have double trouble freaking my mind out.
TEPR - minuit jacuzzi (datA remix)
