Website Maintenance

Hi.

I'd like to apologise if there are any problems accessing the blog over the next week or so, as we've just changed our hosting service. Many thanks to our previous webmaster who has had to put up with us and our bandwidth drain for over a year for FREE!!

The site has now been transferred over, along with 99% of the content to our own private hosting. There may be a few tweaks here and there, but generally things will be as normal (hopefully!), and the messageboard will be back one way or another very soon.

p.s. we can now also be accessed at www.ptnotr.com as well for people with lazy fingers!!

Bye for now

The Pointer Sisters - Send Him Back (Pilooski Re-Edit)

Done in a similar vein to Frankie Valli's 'Begging', Cédric Marszewski (A.K.A.) Pilooski understatedly whips up another northern soul talc-tastic edit, this time of The Pointer Sisters 'Send Him Back'. It has been floating about now for some time and is being released through Dirty Edits. Great feel-good late night music for the club, and probably soon, the radio (Oh NOES!!).

Anyway, enjoy if you haven't heard...

Mr. Oizo remixes a little bit of Jamie Lidell

Attending the Ed Banger Label Night in Leuven (Belgium) last weekend, I witnessed probably one of the first public playbacks of Mr. Oizo's latest remix job. This time for one of my top five artists, electronic funkster Jamie Lidell and his upcoming single Little bit of feel good (due for release April 14th). Oizo's signature stabs-and-tight-beat sound is instantly recognizable, if not becoming a bit predictable, but Lidell's vocals manage to keep the remix interesting. Here's a snippet:

I know many of our readers are not averse to some D-I-Y production, so I'd like to invite you all to remix "Little bit of feel good" yourselves shortly. Head over to this web page on the first of March for the samples. Not sure if the contest will be open to people outside of France, but that shouldn't stop you from creating a blaring stormer with the song's bits and pieces.

By the way, Jamie Lidell's next full album, Jim, will be released April 28th and I've heard from insiders it's catchy as hell. A certain robot friend of ours is a fan as well, as you can see at the end of this video.

UPDATE: As ultravid correctly commented, the remix has been added to Oizo's MySpace player.

“The Less Said (the) Better"

A new Paul "Phones" remix at last..

"The LSB" by Make Model originally came out as a limited single back in July but it's getting a re-release this April..

It's a fact.. Paul Epworth is incapable producing bad tunes.

Lights & Music

Germany remixes Australia and Boys Noize once again proves he can do about anything...including disco.

Check out those 'Aerodynamic' guitar-plucks!

Go Siriusmo!

His AllTheGirls EP [Exploited rec]is awesome (personal fav: Femuscle!) and his Diskoding mini-album [BoysNoize rec] will be even better.

Tracklist:
Side 1
- "Simple"
- "Too Simple"
- "Mein Neues Fahrrad (Boys Noize edit)"

Side 2
- "Schreitmaschine"
- "Diskoding"
- "Diskozinzin"
- "Lastdear"

He is an absolute producing genius at creating disco-inspired abstract or melodic electronics. One of his first releases was the superhappy feel-good song 'Meine Welt' which is available for you on PTNOTR.

We are not responsable for any addictions to this song.
