Would you like bangers with that MASH??

Not too much needs to be said about Gregg Gillis aka Girl Talk/ Mashtastic/ Mr Mash/ King of Mash/ Sampleton Mashington III. His ingenious blending and overlaying of pop, hip hop and retro tracks holds a crowd like none other. With worldwide touring Girl Talk reels in the dough for his highly demanded live show that many of us may have been witness to at last years Big Day Out festival... and thankfully he acknowledges that he is only reproducing and crafting existing tunes into something brilliant - hence why his album is for free download (also he avoids many legal dilemma's through this). Anyway judicial stipulations aside, my poverty stricken, schoolies-saving self is very thankful for this. Ultimately he is a wicked dude with ripping tunes and if you do not like this album then you are a festy douche.

Head over to Illegal Art for the free hookups and to wikipedia for the tracklisting

A Fair Solid Centurion

So 'drunkfunk' has reached 100 and along the way many musical, cultural and social developments have been made - one being that NuDisco is alive, cranking and taking over the music scene like a relentless zombie army (more producers are infected by the curse of the disco ball ha). Minus the 'beyond the grave' analogies such is true about this modern musical development... And for the 100 club I thought it would be best to run with the drunkfunk trend of tune sharing and general uncovering. Propping up the leaning tower of fading Italo-Disco are 'Fare Soldi' - who are the new age Mario and Luigi behind the decks. They succeed in conquering a fast paced and acid infused style of 'porno-bass' heavy Italo-Disco. Fuck-clustering of music genre's aside these dudes are funky as their main aim is to induce "smiling whilst dancing" and props to those who have survived the Italian Fidget/Cranking onslaught of mega-producers like Crookers and The Bloody Beetroots.With their name translating to 'make money', this ambition seems inevitable and i am tipping a trip down under in the next 6 months!!

So at the moment the drunkfunk contributors and many readers are in no position to party because of three ominous letters (H.S.C), however post exam riot's loom and we welcome all to join for messy mayhem and support of the scene. Particularly for two events. Firstly young-gun Louis La Roche is playing Candy's for only 18 slices of bread (2bucks cheaper than an average night at Candy's) on the 5th of November. Secondly a party of a bigger scale (Summer Seasons) is going down at Greenwood on the 13th of November to welcome in summer and the partying that comes with it. As Van She Tech, Dangerous Dan, Wax Motif and Jimmy Disco will be playing i have dropped a fresh tune for this below and if you like it or just want to go a tad wild on the 13th - email me for tickets (nick.saw@hotmail.com)...

peace!

(and hopefully another 100 or two to come)

p.s. Also drunkfunk recommends you less electro/disco cats and dogs to check out some of the leaked tracks from Kings of Leon's new album 'Come Around Sundown' - which you can stream here.

Barbara Streisand (Fare Soldi Remix) - Duck Sauce

Survivor (Keenhouse Remix) - Fare Soldi

Master & Slave (Van She Tech Remix) - Vandroid

I am Pro Procrastinating

It's open season for students, and the Board of Studies hunters are prowling. For any that have been seeking a study escape via tunage, I apologise. Cutting the balderdash lets get back on into it! So since a while back there has been various developments on the scene:

Pioneers of pop-disco chart-toppers and outrageous head accessories Jamiroquai made a return.

The Big Day Out 2011 lineup landed.

Good weather has given birth to beach visits

In The Mix ran a house party in Potts Point which the likes of Busy P, Brodinski, DJ Medhi, Jack Beats and AC Slater attended.

And Parklife + the long weekend draw ever closer

As arguably one of Australia's best music festivals Parklife nears a combination of warming up tunes and chilled study beats have occupied my ears of late. And so for those who are gearing up for yet another great festival, or to the geeks, nerds and brainiacs alike who are trying to do well in that 'little quiz before schoolies' (HSC) then hopefully these two artists can help.

Already strongly featured on drunkfunk! and a fixture of disco and electro world-wide acclaim is the UK bopper Grum. He is on his way down-under to bust out his 80's inspired set on the Parklife tour. With a highly successful album ('Heartbeats') released earlier this year and a remix list worthy of a royal scroll, Graeme Shepherd [aka Grum] deserves all the worldwide acclaim he is receiving. I suggest to anyone in need of some fresh new music or artist to get right into that they go out and grab his album as many are comparing it to electro avant-garde releases such as Daft Punk's 'Discovery' and Mylo's 'Destroy Rock & Roll'. Here is his latest retouch of Parklife compatriots plus a mint tune of his own - also i suggest to anyone who loves the idea of an 80's police/melodramatic/homo moustache inspired video clip check it out here.

Tokyo (Vampires & Wolves)(Grum Remix) - The Wombats

Through The Night - Grum

Now heading back into the archives comes one of my all time favourite albums. Infamous French duo Air's 'Talkie Walkie' for me is the ultimate study-to-good-music-without-jumping-on-your-chair-and-doing-hanky-panky album. It blends very chilled and minimal beats with a dreamy layered sound that reeks of the artistic French. It is not everyone's cup of jaffa but it certainly has its great moments as tracks like 'Surfing on Rockets', 'Alpha Beta Gaga' and 'Cherry Blossom Girl' are timeless and unmistakable. Adding to the beauty of the album is how 'Alone In Kyoto' one of my all time favourite tracks puts me right in the shoes of Scarlett Johansson in 'Lost In Translation' - creeping and peering around Tokyo. I highly recommend purchase and don't condone but would understand illegal acquiring of this album as it is just musical bliss.

peace!
