I was listening to Don Rimini’s October mix when I heard a bangin remix of the Rocky theme song. I always love remixes that incorporate bits of the original, but still make it distinctly different.
Bill Conti – Gonna Fly Now (Rocky Theme Song) (DJ Barletta vs. Rocky Remix)
Also, Off Herve’s “Cheap Thrills” EP.
What is it that makes a rave.. a rave? Is it the alcohol, drugs, overdrive, noise, neon lights or party people? Everyone probably has a different opinion but for me you can’t beat that loud noise. And while you can pick up the official remixes on beatport, this remix by Le Castle Vania delivers the goods all the same.
FUKKK OFFF – Rave Is King (Le Castle Vania Remix)

So Christmas is right around the corner and what better time to post some holiday songs!
First off we have a little diddy that Bloody Beetroots producer Bob Rifo did last year. I can’t remember for the life of me where I got it, but it definitely has bob’s touch.
and a great track from now deceased electronic pop group Girlsareshort. For those of you know don’t know, Girlsareshort was made up of one half of MSTRKRFT (AL-P).
I haven’t really been following Acid Girls much since they stopped posting on their blog about a year ago, but this brand spankin new mix from them warms my heart with some classic oldies from wayy before my time.

My dear dear friend Teo will be playing The Key Club in hollywood on January 9th. Doors open at 8pm and it’s 15+ (underage can buy tickets at the door). Tickets will be avaliable soon on ticketmaster. He’ll also be djing the after party so this will definitely be something you won’t want to miss. And since I know people like to get a taste of what they’ll be seeing live I’ve got a single from his first record do out in 09 and a 30 minute mix he put together not too long ago.
In some ways Designer Drugs reminds me a lot of The Bloody Beetroots. They’ve been cranking out remix after remix and for the most part just giving them away for free. THESE ARE THE DJS I LIKE. The Bloody Beetroots started out doing this and now remixes are few and far between. Granted they DJ practically every night, but it always saddens me when DJs start doing more live gigs and stop producing those epic remixes. Thankfully these guys aren’t there yet and we have a remix of a Velvet Code song to grace our ears with.
Velvet Code – Say You Love Me (Designer Drugs Remix)
Bonus: My favorite Designer Drugs remix
IAMX – Spit It Out (Designer Drugs Remix)
I’ve heard this song in so many sets and never bothered to download it. I now realize my ignorance! LA Riots Remix N.A.S.A.‘s “Music” into nothing short of a banger.
N.A.S.A. – Music (LA Riots Remix) feat. Method Man, E40 & DJ Swamp
Also check out another amazing N.A.S.A. track remixed by The Count (AKA Herve) over at RCRDLBL
N.A.S.A. – Money (The Count Of Monte Cristal ‘Dungeon’ Remix)
I have to admit I’m not a big fan of rock anymore, but once in a blue moon a song will catch my ears that I’ll just have to listen to over and over again. This one happens to be from Kings Of Leon. What really got me hooked was listening to Dolby Anol‘s edit, which I’m definitely putting in a future set.
Kings Of Leon – Use Somebody (Dolby Anol Edit)
The Bloody Beetroots have just unleashed their new Cornelius EP but for me it doesn’t quite live up to the hype. After listening to the song a few times I began to long for more hardness. It does have its crazy times, but its nothing compaired to the daLa edit.
The Bloody Beetroots – Cornelius (Radio Oi!)
The Bloody Beetroots – Cornelius (daLa Edit)
Also, check out the epic teaser video for Cornelius after the break.
I post shit that I like.
I don’t write a lot so don’t expect any long posts.
I enjoy sushi.
That is all..
