Grumpy Mondays

[Photo via Ultracity's Grum Runaway Remix cover]

To all who are suffering from the pain of monday-itis my Doctor (Pedro Winter) recommends a heavy dosage of good music. Thankfully to co-incide with my illness he prescribed me with the latest releases and remixes from UK groover Grum. This cat got a lot of attention in and outside of europe with releases of killer tracks such as 'Heartbeats', 'Runaway' and 'Woah' just to name a few. With his disco-funk retouch's and similar originals flooding the blogosphere they shall be hitting dance floors in no time. To make sure of this a drunkfunk favourite in DCUP has put an Aussie spin on one of his tracks below, this is joined by a classic and a simply rad remix of his as well as one of his newbies. Enjoy them all and if your monday-itis persists then seek further attention from Grum via the purchase of his new releases (iTunes or Beatport)
peace!

They Didn't Die




It almost seems like the Klaxons have after their super successful first album put a curse on themselves... waiting far to long to release a back up and even though it is not Rocky V and totally boring listeners i am not too sure how it will be received. From first look this fresh tune is not much new on their old stylings, which is good news for fans of old because if you are like me you are just glad to be listening to Klaxons stuff again. I Hope to see their album soon as i cannot grasp a real hold on what their new angle or wait was for.
peace y'all!

Citrus Beats

No stranger to the electro scene Germany's Alex Rihda (aka Boys Noize) paired up last year with Brit Erol Alkan to create some dope tracks such as 'Waves' and 'Death Suite'. Now in 2010 the partnership has continued producing a few more originals...most notably the track 'Lemonade'. The original itself is ok but in my opinion adopts a bit to much hard trash that is a somewhat signature of these two, However it has undergone a hand of remixes which have taken the hooks and melodies of the track and added a more concise beat and chilled rhythm. The two below are my favourite to emerge so far, however i have included the original so that you can make up your own mind.
peace!

Spooking the Disco!

The rad disco infused beats of Holy Ghost! first popped onto the scene with massive original's such as 'Hold On' and 'I Will Come Back' as well as a handful of dope remixes. Sticking to the word they promised on their second single they have come back and released a heavily anticipated EP Static On The Wire. Besides laying some wicked new tracks the NYC boys also have quite busy touring schedule coming u and will be playing with the likes of Hot Chip, Chromeo and LCD Soundsystem whom they have released a snazzy remix for ahead of their numerous US dates together. It is good to see these guys back after the tragic death of their drummer Jerry Fuchs who was also involved in bands; The Juan Maclean, !!! and Maserati. Due to that tragic loss they did cancel their tour down under but hopefully we shall see these dudes again killing the dancefloor like never before. Below are a couple of tracks, but i also urge you all to grab their EP which has just recently been released on DFA Records.
peace!
