& It Was You Bootleg Remix

posted by • October 15, 2013 • Leave a comment

howtodresswell-cover

Another remix by yours truly! I swear this is the last one for a little while at least. Once again, I took a track that I was really feeling, but didn’t have a version that would fit into my dj sets, then added some boogie juice so that I could play it out. This one will be featured on the mixtape I’m wrapping up with my comrade in crime, Canyon Cody, to celebrate one year of our weekly Saturday night ‘Planet Rock’ party at The Virgil. If you are in the LA area, definitely swing through this weekend… it’s gonna get extra grimey! The mixtape should be done and posted by the end of the week, so stay tuned.

Tounkan Remix

Been patiently waiting to release this one on the public, and the day has finally arrived! This is an official remix I did for Stronghold Sound – a DJ/producer crew/record label based out of San Francisco, Beirut & Conakry (Guinea, West Africa). The original recording was part of a collection of Guinean folk recordings made by the Stronghold crew, featuring singer ‘Sara’. This remix is now available on 7″ vinyl along with remixes from J-Boogie, Chief Boima + Ciku, and Dub Snakkr. Any purchase of 7″ gets you access to the MP3 download. West African folk meets electro-disco future-funk… aka Good Music. Go get it here.

    I am so, so, so stoked to have discovered you. I have loved African music since 18 – fell in love with a man who was a fanatic collector. When we parted (heartbreak) he kept the collection (irreplaceable vynil collected from all over Africa by motorbike)… but I still have the love and now at 42 it seems even bigger. It is an inexplicable spell and I see that you have it.. Thank you for introducing me to Uproot Andy. Where can I listen to the stuff you did Thomas Mapfumo? (Saw him live!)

  • Chuck Wild • October 13, 2013

    Thanks Dawn, I do share the bug indeed. The collabo with Mapfumo will be on my next album… working on it now! Stay tuned.

The Only Thing That’s Real

Just brought a new bundle of joy into my life in the form of a 5-month old puppy. Been a pretty busy week of dog treats, pet shops, rabies vaccines, and chew toys, but it’s all more than worth it to have this lil guy smiling and prancing around in the backyard. Lots of new tunes this week, but I think the Aloe Blacc / Pharrell collabo sums up most accurately where I’m at. Love is a real thing, that much I know. More of a mellow, late night, moody playlist overall this week, but it could also be a very appropriate soundtrack to lovemaking… so have fun.

Aloe Blacc :       Love Is The Answer collabo with the perpetually funky Pharrell from his new EP (Avicii smash notably absent).

Victor Démé :       Djon Maya (Synapson Remix) mid-tempo soulful french folk house. Check more of his work here.

Sango ft. SPZRKT :       Middle Of Things (J Boogie Edit) Sango been killin lately, but my homie J Boogie just took this tune right into the pocket.

Phenomenal Handclap Band :       The Written Word (Dee & Kenan's TBA Remix) nice psyched out head nod version from this NYC crew

John Wizards :       Lusaka By Night South African lo-fi trippiness gets a double thumbs up from me

MØ Ft. Diplo :       XXX 88 interesting foray into triumphant dark pop hop. Kinda sounds like a mix of Santigold & Lykke Li over a trap beat. Not mad at this.

Autre Ne Veut :       Counting pretty out there, hazy white-boy crooning over jittery electronic beats

Banks :       This Is What It Feels Like loving everything I hear from this girl right now, especially this one produced by Jamie Woon.

London Grammar :       Stay Awake &       High Life discovered this group on the Disclosure album, can’t say I’m crazy about their whole debut album, but these tunes an a few others are definitely doin it for me.

Dirg Gerner :       Before It's Over &       Got Your Back more soulful slinky beat insanity from the highly reliable Eglo label.

Myron & E :       I Can't Let You Get Away new retro soul duo on the Stonesthrow label comes super correct on this one which I discovered when they played it live on KCRW

Lorde – Royals Bootleg Remix

posted by • September 24, 2013 • Leave a comment

lorde remix

Without further ado, I’d like to present my latest remix. The 16-year-old Kiwi pop sensation gets a touch of grime added to her big single for all my DJ’s and bass fiends out there. Kinda in line with the Banks remix I dropped a lil while back, this is a tune that I wanted to mix into my sets, but didn’t have a version with enough umpf (although the Lazerdisk take is nice on the slow funk tip). Mixed in some heavy 808’s and a touch of twerk to keep the kids bouncing. This is another one that will be featured on the upcoming Planet Rock Mixtape that I’m working on with Canyon Cody to celebrate one year of our weekly Saturday Night party at The Virgil. Press play and bump loudly.

  • Maria MARR • October 14, 2013

    It’s crazy what we can do with music, definitely limitless freedom! I love the gospel sound of the backing vocals, it gives you goose bumps. This is definitely an amazing remix!

The House That Funk Built

Coming at you all the way live from Oakland, CA, where the candy painted cars roll slow past local organic non-GMO everything. Had the extreme pleasure of hanging out with my best friend’s new baby (the same elusive Ixley who designed this site, and is currently working on the re-design). Feel free to congratulate the new papa in the comments if you care to, I’ll make sure he reads em. Not a lot of time to go into descriptions on all these tracks today, but trust me that they are winners! Mostly brand new tunes with a few older joints that I’ve just discovered with a lil help from my friends (Canyon Cody, DJ Just, Audiomoe, Shrimp Scampi– I SEE YOU). If you get inspiration from looking at pictures of funky-as-hell refurbished condemned buildings (like the one above), then take a heads up from my brother DJO and check out more about the Heidelberg Project in Detroit. And finally, all you people in the LA area, come through the new weeknight party that I’m doing in Hollywood with a great line-up of deejays and a beautiful spacious dancefloor: STACKED.

The Internet :       Dont'cha

Zero 7 :       Don't Call It Love

Boom Clap Bachelors :       L-O-V-E

Capital Cities :       Safe & Sound (RAC Remix)

Hot Natured :       Reverse Skydiving (ft. Anabel Englund)

Wankelmut & Emma-Louise :       My head Is A Jungle (Gui Borrato Remix)

Fantastic Mr. Fox :       The Trap

The Presets :       Girl And The Sea

Stevie Wonder :       Superstition (The Flexican & SirOJ Moom Remix)

Drake ft. Majid Jordan :       Hold On We're Going Home

Jordan Bratton :       Midnight Rage

    I don’t think the title of your article matches the content lol. Just kidding, mainly because I had some doubts after reading the article.

  • Roseanna Heiman • September 27, 2024

    My site QN7 covers a lot of topics about Car Purchase and I thought we could greatly benefit from each other. Awesome posts by the way!

Regularly Scheduled Daydreaming

posted by • September 3, 2013 • Leave a comment

A long hot weekend up in the mountains, meant a very very long hot road trip getting there and back. Truth is, you can’t be mad when you’ve got good company and new music to listen to. I like to think of my extended daydreams on planes, trains & highways as an essential part of the creative process. Maybe I wasn’t scheming a global takeover, so much as how to pass the slow RV pulling a boat on a trailer, but I know there’s some head-clearing benefit nonetheless.

Sola Rosa :       Promise (ft. Oliver Daysoul)
great single from Sola’s latest album. Check the top notch Tall Black Guy remix as well

Booker T. Jones :       Sound The Alarm (ft. Mayer Hawthorne) &       All Over The Place (ft. Luke James)
The legendary organ maestro is back on STAX, and sounding surprisingly fresh (with help from the superproducer Avila Bros). The whole album is worth a listen, but the title track with Mayer is the standout for sure.

Superhumanoids :       So Strange
fans of Little Dragon will find lots to like on this new album.

GANZ :       Can't Stop
definitely taking cues from Hudson Mohawk, but I’m not mad at the epic-ness.

Atropolis :       Reza Por Mi (ft. Lido Pimienta)
my Cumba Mela homie has come supremely correct with this excellent full-length. The whole record is great, but this song (and the accompanying video directed by another old friend) makes me smile every time.

Kon :       Blow Me A Kiss (ft. Amy Douglas)
Very glad to see this legendary NYC crate digger and DJ step up as a producer. Deep disco is the name of the game on this one.

Franz Ferdinand :       Stand On The Horizon (Todd Terje Extended Mix)
for me the song starts at 5:30, but there’s a lot of cool moments throughout, as you’d expect from this cool collabo.

LBCK :       Call My Name
mid-tempo slinky funk thats perfect for early evening head bobbing. More from these Long Beach kids.

FKJ :       So Much To Me &       Instant Need
a couple new disco-fied winners from French Kiwi Juice.

Lorde :       Bravado &       Biting Down
it’s hard to be mad at this 16-yr-old chantuese when she’s putting out songs this good. I’m sure there’s some producer big wig mastermind behind a lot of the material, but her voice remains kinda undeniable.

Shigeto :       Miss U &       Detroit Part 1
deep organic spacey beats from this Midwest Ghostly dude.
