Pussy Pop

After living like monks for a month, gn? is back and kicking.
We proudly present : the lovely chords remix of pussy pop by kid rolex.
Smashing stuff, a distorted 90s cutted up melody, strange vocals but still dancefloor minded (yes yes MR. Horacio never thought he would make a dance floor track)

He's a wizard, horacio, let's all save money to buy him a plane ticket from Argentina.

ZZT - Lower State Of Conciousness

Well there's not much I can really say about this track except for the fact that you need to listen to it in a club environment to do it any justice. Zombie Nation and Tiga have joined up to create a banger that sounds like someone is playing an atari 2600 and pissing about with an 808 loop on redrum - loud!. At 3am in a club with a proper soundsystem though, it sounds......well you gotta experience it.

Play hard.

Sub That Shit!

Following ‘2 Many Dj’s’ and ‘The Glimmers’, Starski & Tonic were the third resident-duo of Belgium’s finest, Ghent-based, club: the infamous Culture Club. They started their Culture Club-residency in 2002; one year later they were offered a new residency at Belgium’s second biggest eclectic/electro-ish club: Dirty Dancing in Brussels. During that same year ‘5voor12’ (the guys behind the “10 days off…”-festival) opened their club in Antwerp: Petrol. Again Starski & Tonic were asked to play on a regular basis in Antwerp’s biggest club.

Due to these 3 residencies Starski & Tonic are playing all over Belgium and already played in countries like France, England, Germany, Poland, Holland and Scotland. The basis of their success is that Starski & Tonic are always pushing their musical limits! Combine that with their ‘no-nonsense’ attitude and you won’t be surprised that they’ve already established a very good reputation in the eclectic/electro-scene of today.This has even led to a prestigious gig at London’s finest: FABRIC (july 2006); which confirms once more that these lads got their fingers on the boogie button!

At the end of 2005 Starski & Tonic teamed up with fellow townsman and multi-instrumentalist Papillon (Bolchi, Foxylane) to start a new project called “The Subs”: making twisted dirty, funky music for open-minded people is what they have in mind! Papillon has been making music for as long as he can remember. Keyboards, programming & songwriting are his main thing, but he's a bit of a multi-instrumentalist. He also plays & writes for "Foxylane", a dirty RaveRock band with Stefan Poplife and DJ Thang.

The Subs have already made a few tracks and remixes and their first release (“You make me spill”) was featured on the "Dirty Dancing Compilation vol.2" (march 2006) and had a lot of airplay on national radio in Belgium (Studio Brussels). After this unforeseen success The Subs signed a deal with record company N.E.W.S.: “You make me Spill” was picked up by Geoffroy’s label Suicide recordings and a few months later Dr. Lektroluv released “Substracktion” on his own label. In the meanwhile The Subs made remixes for bands and artists like Telex, Sharam Jay, Mason, The Lotterboys, Acid Jacks, Shameboy, Foxylane, Pacjam, Javelo,…And more Substrax will be released on Dr. Lektroluv recordings. Live, The Subs use a laptop, a few analogue synths and some crazyness behind the mic to get the crowd dancin'. Their debut was at 10 days off 2006. Lowlands, Pukkelpop, Dirty Dancing followed ... to be continued ...

New Touché Remix!

After waiting for months, I was gladly surpised finding this remix of Kissy's Sell Out's "Her" appearing on Touché's ( AKA Theo Keating ) myspace today.
Probably the most of you might know Touché from tracks like "Command me", "The Paddle" and the awesome remix of "Skid" he did for Wekan.(AKA Mock and Toof)

What some of might not know, is that Theo is in fact one half of dance production duo "The Black Ghosts" alongside with Simian singer Simon Lord, and are both getting recognized for tracks such as "Anyway You Choose To Give It" and "Face". For live gigs, the pair are getting help from producer/remix artist Boy 8-Bit, who we're interviewing soon for a new PTNOTR article!.

Anyway.. this is fresh. Or just.. "ptnotrly";

Niguiri MixTape

Got this one sent through our myspace..

Niguiri Beats - April 2007 Mixtape (zshare link)

60 minute mix including tracks by - Justice, Sebastien Leger, Gabriel Ananda, Does It Offend You Yeah?, Soulwax, Queens Of The Stone Age, White Noise, House Of Pain, Nirvana, Monster Magnet, Pharell, Thomas Schumacher, Gui Boratto, Mr. Oizo, LCD Soundsystem, Oliver Koletzki and many more!

NiguiriBeats are a D.J team born out of years of fervent record collecting, clubbing and, above all, listening.
Their passion for dj’ing is an old one, both members of NiguiriBeats have been spinning records for many years, however the idea of working together didn’t come up for a while. Martim bided his time singing, playing guitar and writing songs with several alternative rock bands while Chico dedicated himself to Public Relations and Bar work in several big clubs, playing the occasional D.J set in the Lisbon area.
NiguiriBeats have played in such places as Souk and Velvet (in the “Bairro Alto” area of Lisbon), Sushimoto (in Estoril where they have a bi-weekly residence) and in large clubs such as Tamariz, Coconuts Club and Paradise Garage. They also recently joined the roster of artists represented by the new production agency Smash and the future looks to be even brighter.

A tracklist can be found in the comments for this post..

And DVNO stands for...

Obviously, Justice is getting attention now in every self-respecting music publication and broadcast. Last night for instance, the lovely Annie Mac had Xavier and Gaspard (only the pictures prove his presence) over for a short interview. It's not our goal to link, post or quote every "Justicism" but I'm making an exception for this one because it solved the question that was on the tip of my tongue for the last few weeks: what the hell does "DVNO" mean. Well, nothing profound according to Xavier. It just stands for "Divino".

"In every suburb of the world, in every city, there's always a nightclub called El Divino (...) Clubs where you have to wear like a white shirt to get in."

With the Ibiza season kicking off as we speak, maybe it'd be good timing to release "DVNO" as a second single then?

Mutya Buena + Groove Armada + Kissy = Ace

One of the best tunes from Groove Armada's new album titled Soundboy Rock. Vocals are done by ex-sugababe Mutya Buena.

This remix is done by the world's greatest producer/remixer at the moment: The Amazing Kissy Sell Out !

By the way.. Groove Armada will come to "A Campingflight To Lowlands 2007". I hope Kissy's coming too.. and MSTRKRFT and Boys Noize.. and Punks Jump Up.. and Erol and Digitalism, Simian Mobile Disco, The Ed Banger Crew... etc.. Any people from Mojo are reading this blog? Well.. just do it!

For some reason the original track kinda reminds me to Gary Numan:

Breakbot breaks out!

Breakbot has his first offical release on the cooler-than-cool Moshi Moshi label. Moshi Moshi has released early records of Hot Chip and Lo-Fi-Fnk and clearly has a nose for quality music. The Breakbot remix of Let there be light, that was only included on the Japan release, drew a lot of attention but his own work is great too. His crazy crossover nostalgic sound is unique. Make sure you get your hands on these daftpunk-esque get-yo-funk on tunes.

Loose Cannons' Spanish Freak.

Zo. Na een paar dagen relaxen in het gezellige "Sport Huis Centrum", weer terug van weggeweest en klaar om weer wat te bloggen. Na Annie Mac op de vrijdag heb ik tegenwoordig een nieuw favo radio programma; Loose Cannons op woensdagnacht. De afgelopen 5/6 uitzendingen zat deze track er steeds weer in en IMHO is het weer een klapperrrrrrr van de week (eek!) (eek!)

Oordeel zelf:
