Oh yeah! Oh yeah!

In honour of the release of their remix album Most of the remixes we've made over the years except for the one for Einstürzende Neubauten because we lost it* and a few we didn't think sounded good enough or just didn't fill in lenght-wise. But including some that are hard to find because either people forgot about them or simply because they haven't been released yet. A few we really love. One we think is just OK. Some we did for free. Some we did for money. Some just for ourselves without permission and some for friends as swaps but never on time and always at our studio in Ghent, the Soulwax bros sampled almost an entire day's worth of broadcasting by Belgian's finest radio station, Studio Brussel.

The result? A one-hour promotional mix punctuated with the presenters' cut-up quotes. Nothing surprising if you're familiar with their stuff, but there was one track that caught my attention: an edit of Daft Punk's Oh Yeah intermezzo (featured on Homework) mixed with "Oh Yeah" vocals from by Blur, Prince, Madonna, Mick Jagger, O.D.B. and many others (tell us in the comments!). I know they've done a somewhat similar thing with Daft Punk Is Playing At My House by LCD Soundsystem, but I hadn't heard this version before. Correct me if this is old school.

>> Daft Punk - Oh Yeah (Soulwax Edit) (radio rip).

>> Download the entire Soulwax vs StuBru mix.

* = Einstürzende Neubauten - Stella Maris (Soulwax remix) is a hidden track on CD #2.

Coca Cola is pop, Madonna is not.

I can't really explain why the hell I love this track so much, but damn, this tune was banging away in my head all of yesterday. Gotta love those lyrics.. Money on this being a big one..

From Siberia: Eclier

Eclier has been making soulful, melodic and spacey electronic music by the likes of Proxy, Midnight Juggernauts, Riot in Belgium and ourselves. Eyes opened for this guy - check the melodies!

Eclier - Expedition To Another Galaxy (zshare)
Eclier - Plexiglass Dream (zshare)

Was ist loss?

Well well.
The 21th of september we went to bar Apollo in Aachen,Germany for a litte bit of live trashing. Mission accomplished, and we also got to know some very friendly german colleagues like MaxCherry, Phil, and the guy I want to talk about : DJ Brian Lindsay. He's an American from NYC who is living for like 11 years in Germany. That should leave some marks you think, and yes, he always plays live in lederhosen, starts to shine when it's the oktoberfesten and loves german dubbed movies (buuuhuhu)
So far for bad taste. He's a resident in the airport club (one of the 10 biggest clubs in Germany) and he does a great job live. We find it totally amazing how he can mix with cdj's and keep his body almost horizontal in a 90° bend.
Here's a song made by MR. Lindsay called Step By Step!
