Treasure Fingers -

Lifelike seems to be dominating my blog, he just released his new remix of Treasure Fingers.

This DJ has been all the rage with his funky disco mixes. Lifelike adds the French touch with the remix, making this song a must have. His most recent single 'Cross the Dancefloor' is a banger


Treasure Fingers - Cross the Dancefloor (Lifelike Remix)

Keedz - Stand on the Word

*now which choir looks more likely to have sung this song?

I'm sure you all remember and maybe still be a big fan of D.A.N.C.E by Justice. Well I recently discovered a song that a lot of uniformed bloggers were saying was a new song leaked by Justice. They later learned that they made a big mistake. The song, even though some say it very much resembles D.A.N.C.E (which is true) is still really damn good, a soulful electro, deep bass line, makes it a song that worth having for that dance party, even if they did jack justice's sound...

Nonetheless, you don't see the millions of indie or pop groups complaining over nearly identical songs (or if they do we don't listen)....so I dunno, its pretty damn close but hell, Justice hasn't had a new song in forever, so I'll take what I can get.

The song "Stand on the Word" is performed by Celestial Choir and is full of religious rigamaroo and mixed by Keedz.

Get on this hot gem,

Keedz - Stand on the Word

So continuing to search for songs by remixers that we never seem to know about .. I came across another Freemasons remix. After hearing the first 5 seconds of the song, its obvious that the Freemasons have their hands in the song. You know the traditional piano chords and retro sound that their are famous for mixed with Xavier italo disco synth pop to make a real hot song. It's a cover of George Benson Classic Anthem (fyi)



Xavier is a male house vocalist from New York. Full of soul, this artist released his first single Give Me Tonight in 2005 on Virgin and was produced by Baggydaddy of the Scissor Sisters. He has later gone to release an EP titled XXX.

It's late babe, on a lonely Sunday Night

Your home alone, drinkin a glass of wine in your room, maybe listening to music on the computer, our lounging on your bed... you don't really have anyone to talk to ...the next thing you know, you hear this infectuous funky anthem and you swear that your "music is talking" to you, literally, its speaking to you. And once again you wish it was the weekend, a night out....

* replace wine with a bowl of cereal and a friendly penguin

Roland Clarke (male vocals) has teamed up with the rather well known Danish group Morjac or AKA the Montanas. This infectuous disco house soon to be anthem is remixed by the talented French Disco DJ/Producer Fred Falke who began as a bassist and who later has remixed a shitload of songs and worked with the likes of Alan Braxe, Daft Punk etc

Roland Clarke & The Montanas - Music Talking (Fred Falke Remix)

Bonus Fred Falke gem, less vocal but very your french house disco bumpin' song that everyone will want to dance to (Pjaano watch the f*ck out!- and yes I like it better )

Fred Falke - Sanctuary

Digitalism - Pogo (Shinichi Osawa Full Vocal Remix)

The electro-indie duo, Digitalism, is made up of Jence Moelle and Isi Tüfekçi. Bouncin out from Hamburg Germany, this group produces deep thumping electro beats that has been blowing away crowds at festivals like South by Southwest and Coachella. They are signed to French label Kitsuné.

Their fourth single Pogo was released in 2008. Some of you electro fans might have this song but unless you have the Moshi Moshi Ep (which was only released in Japan) you probably don't have the full vocal version with the amazing remix by Shinichi Osawa, Japanese DJ.

*bad ass pogo stick

Digitalism - Pogo (Shinichi Osawa Remix)

New Change!

I have decided to change things up a bit on the blog, while hopefully making you more happy and me more happy. So what does that mean I'm doing? I am hoping to post a song a day which will allow you to get a fresh song every day instead of 5 once every once in awhile. It makes the task of updating the blog (even though I do love doing it) less time consuming for me each day as well. Somedays I add a bonus song if I have time. Granted I might miss a day here and there as well, but I'll make it up to you. promise!


So for this Friday your tune is not a recent song in comparison to most of the things I post but its a remix I have never heard by the Freemasons (maybe I'm just lost) This song is a real summer anthem

my legs, my nose, my back, my toes, my arms, my eyes, my breasts, my thighs

The Beach Feat. Tia - Suntan (Freemasons Ext. Remix)

Finally a new post......

Okay sorry to all, I've been outta control busy, but things are calming down (for the moment)

Not to worry though, cause I've been listening to music like crazy still and have a bunch songs for you all to sample. And these songs aren't your average dance songs, to be honest I've become somewhat tired of a lot of house/dance music that sounds soooo similar. This blog is all about different kinds of good groovin music, cause hell, we need cutting edge music no?

I'm really on this French disco house kick right now, you know the whole Alan Braxe Fred Falke, thing...

Another Dj who just keeps producing damn good remixes is Lifelike (another Parisien)

Bio:
Name: Laurent Ash
Age : 30s
Location : Paris
Sex Appeal : HOT


I'm nearing the point that I might just want to tattoo his name on my ass, really....so this first post will be all about that..getting you to want to tattoo his name on your ass too

First up is a blazin remix that has been on repeat on my ipod for a couple days now, about time you do it too

Farley 'Jackmaster' Funk & Jessie Saunders - Love Can't Turn Around (Lifelike Remix)

An older remix by Lifelike and in my opinion one of his best titled "This Boys In Love" is a necessary addition to your music library. The Presets with the help of Lifelike have an electronic 80's gem rolled up and ready for the dancefloor. The beat is hypnotic..
The Presets - The Boy's In Love (Lifelike Remix)


You all know Supermal and their recent song with Luciana (Bigger Than Big). A recent song of their's recently caught my eye and again remixed by the lovely Lifelike, this song fits right into your collection of electronic french house..


Super Mal - Light Years (Lifelike Remix)

Another classic which is actually produced by Lifelike and Kris Menace (and probably Lifelike's biggest commercial success) is Discopolis. The best remix by far is by A Hundred Birds. The song was featured a year or two ago on the Hed-Kandi Nu Cool album. Hot disco beats and with a bit of classic music, somehow they found a way to put the 2 together to make in my opinion one of the best house tracks around.

Lifelike & Kris Menace - Discopolis (A Hundreds Birds Remix)

Last up on the Lifelike kick (for the moment) is remix of a song by the group Demon. I know very little about this group except that they are on one of the same labels as Lifelike. Nonetheless this is another Lifelike gem, so if you like any of the other songs, you'll be sure to like this one.

Demon - Happy Therapy (Lifelike Remix)

Chercher la Baditude

The next electro bomb is here. . . this is an essential tune you all better get your hands on! A literally it is was crowned one of the best singles of 2008. Of course it is to be expected when you have Dave Spoon, Paul Harris and Sam Obernik. I've listened to the remixes and nothing compares to the original.

Baditude is described as .... a ballsy, sexy, white-hot hymn to hedonism. A hyperactive whirlwind of driving bass, pulsing beats and streaks of sun-lit guitar, the track bounces like a 10 ton baby under Sam Obernik's raw, sassy vocals.

Dave Spoon & Paul Harris Feat. Sam Obernik - Baditude

More for your Wednesday

Lenny Bertoldo aka Lenny B. who I am sure at least most of you are familiar with for his remixes of generally commercial pop hasrecently has released a single. It is titled Radical coming of his new label Volume 11. Sensual vocals mixed with powerful beats leads me to believe Lenny has finally progressed outside of just remixing silly pop songs (and yes some of them I like too). Lenny plans to release another single in August and many more following that. So be prepared to see more of Lenny B on this blog.

Also I cant seem find who is doing the vocals..its weird it isn't listed anywhere on the net.

Lenny B. - Radical (Radio Edit)

I've been a fan of Amanda Wilson since I heard her voice in Love On My Mind she has continued to amaze her fans. She has a 4 octive vocal range and is one of the most sought after vocalist in house music. She's also known for her vocals in Gusto's Disco's Revenge 2008. Another great track she has recently released with the help of A. Lee aka Anthony Lee (German DJ and Music Producer) Check this one out!

A. Lee Feat. Amanda Wilson - Gotta Let Go (Original Mix)

If you follow this blog you will know that I LOVE Wez (Warren) Clarke. Probably my favorite DJ as he embodies my absolute favorite type of house music. Disco House with strong piano vibes. Well I've got 2 songs for you with his name on it. The first song is titled I've got you the instrumental version (amazing beats to be rivaled with Pjanoo). The 2nd song is a remix of the British group Sunset Strippers. They are fairly new to the House music scene and their most recent funky-disco release Step Right Up proves to be a real winner! This remix by Wez Clarke and Jack McCord adds Wez Clarke's amazing touch to make you wish you never had to leave the club.

Wez Clarke - Someday (Instrumental Mix)

Sunset Strippers - Step Right Up (Wez Clarke & Jack McCord Remix)

Ain't Nothin Goin' On But the Rent

Katherine Ellis has long been one of my favorite vocal artists in the house music scene. She recently was featured by the Freemasons When You Touch Me. This song that I'm posting has already been promoted via various clubs and now has appeared on Clubbers Guide America 2008. Katherine Ellis powerful vocals never seem to stop amazing me. The song is titled Ain't Nothin' Goin' On but the Rent. This is actually a remake of Gwen Guthrie's 1986 dance anthem. 7th Heaven with the help of Fonzerelli have recreated this blazin' track for 2008. Destined to be a key summer anthem, you can't afford to miss it!

7th Heaven Feat. Katherine Ellis - Ain't Nothin' Goin' On But the Rent (Fonzerelli Remix)

House Bombs

You may have these songs, as they not all of these songs are the "freshest" but if you don't, well damn it, telecharge the bitch. First up is a tune that I blew off a long time ago has I have become frustrated with Eric Prydz style. I loved his early stuff such as Call On Me but he's lately changed to a much heavier electro beat that in my opinion is really repetitive, nonetheless, I listened to his song Pjanoo and even though it doesn't have any vocals, this a definite winner. It has been recently been placed on the compliation the Clubbers Guide Summer 2008.

Eric Prydz - Pjanoo (Original Mix)

Next is another techno/electro bomb that most of you Europeans already know but I have a feeling it is less well known in the US and elsewhere. Mondotek (French Band) has released asong and a video that has been tearing up the dancefloors in France. It has created a cult following with the techtonic form of dancing (see the video). It seems everyone is now trying to imitate it where it should be probably be left to the professionals. That being said, the video does show some people who get it and its fucking cool. I feel like this song is the French version of Something Good by Utah Saints.

Mondotek - Alive! (Original Club Mix)

Mondotek - Alive! (PH Electro Mix)

Mondotek - Alive! (2-4 Grooves Remix)

Moving to a definite vocal house group Booty Luv who I absolutely love have released many singles and 1 album on Hed Kandi. This sexy British duo (Cherise Roberts and Nadia Shepherd) has had tons of success and with reason. Their first four singles have scorching the charts.

Their powerful voices were first heard in the R&B group Big Brovaz. Booty Luv was later formed in 2006. My favorite song for their album Boogie 2nite (other than Boogie 2nite) is Some Kinda Rush. I got my hands on a new remix by 7th Heaven definitetly fufills the title, no worries you'll get a rush.

Booty Luv - Some Kinda Rush (7th Heaven Remix)

New Music

Electropop singer Isabel Guzman has been making strides in becoming well-known, not in just her native country of Sweden but in Europe as well. Off her upcoming debut album she has released the single Mysterious which I have found a fabulous remix for you to feast your little electro-disco hearts on. Remixed by to me a completely unknown Swedish DJ Lilla Björn. Watch out Robyn, you've got some competition!

Isabel Guzman - Mysterious (Lilla Björn Remix)

Brighton boys Phil Faversham and Jim Breese make up the group My Digital Enemy. These self crafted tunes started with the release of Runaway (Feel the Love) which was included in Ministry of Sound Clubbers Guide Summer 2006. They have continued to remix many songs. And have finally released a new song titled Take Me With You which is also featured on the upcoming CD by Ministry of Sound Clubbers Guide America 2008. Full of funky electric beats this band is definitely a new group to get to know.

Take Me With You is a great electronic track to get a party started while the great vocals of Runaway is the winning element with a smokin' remix by Flash Brothers.

My Digital Enemy - Take Me With You

Thunderheist

Introducing: THUNDERHEIST

Moving a bit away from dance music to a bit more electronic rap group. Now, I'm not a huge fan of rap but this genre style of Missy Elliot with better lyrics and a better beat. This duo is called Thunderheist made up of vocalist Isis (who voice you might know from MSTKRFT's single Bounce) and Grahmzilla who gives us his killer electronic sound. They have been blowing up Montreal with their recently released singles Jerk It, Bubblegum, and Suenos Ducles. This dirty electro is made for the party. I definetly recommend you download these three songs. Definitely take time to listen to Suenos Ducles a couple times as this song is serious genius!!!

New Remake

In 1976 John Miles reached number 3 on the UK singles chart with his song Music. Not much has been done with this disco gem. That is until Jaybee and DJ Lovemaker came up with a remix. Now most blogs haven't caught wind of this new remake, so hop on it here! Jaybee and DJ Lovehouse reorient this song into electronc disco bliss. A mix of classical music, heavy disco beats remade for today. This song is hot. You gotta blast this...

Minitel Rose - Business Woman

Coming off their EP The French Machine, this electronic, french house band has become a real favorite in France. Rolling out from Nantes, France, this 80's influenced band is something fresh.

Minitel Rose - Business Woman

Kansas City

Now its going to be hard to recover with such a good song like MGMT remixed by Justice, but I might have found just the thing. I am also obligated to put up this song given that I am from Kansas City and where I will be returning in a little over a month to go back to school. Sneaky Sound System has just released a new single off their upcoming second album titled Kansas City. It's been remixed by noneother than the talented Lifelike. This song is hot, a little pop sounding yes but nice electro chords for you electrofreaks. By the way, I think its real funny how they pronounce Kansas City, its clear they aren't from there, and have never been there. They pronounce "Kan" like the british pronounce can't (less nasal sounding) and yes I know the Sneaky Sound System band members are Australian, but still......just so you know

Sneaky Sound System - Kansas City (Lifelike Mix)

ELECTRO BOMB!!!!!!!!!

The Best Electro Song of 2008, hands down! This song is so fucking cool...the beat is huge..I don't know if you know the group MGMT (Management) made up Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden from Brooklyn, but this group has amazing vocals which are intertwined with Justice's beat to lead to an electromagnetic explosion. This is song that you just have to blast. The song is titled Electric Feel and damn right you are going to be getting that feel. It is the second single released from their debut album Oracular Spectacular. Rolling Stone has dubbed this group one of the top 10 artists to watch.


Now I know I did post this song before, but that was just a radio rip. I know have the full remix by Justice is blazin! I can't stop listening to it. I devoted a whole post just to this song and therefore If I was to encourage to download a song..this is it..serious hot shit!

MGMT - Electric Feel (Justice Original Remix)

I hoping you all have already downloaded this song and I'm just posting this for nothing...but if you haven't...Katy Perry I've kissed a Girl is worth a listen. This American singer who's debut album One of the Boys was released on June 17th is actually daughter of 2 preachers..Her first album released in 2001 titled Katy Hudson was a Christian gospel album...Now thats what you call a good lesbian Christian. I got the best remix to the song for you...so check it out

Katy Perry - I Kissed A Girl (Jason Nevins Rock The Club Edit)

Christian George's debut single "Strangers" is described as a percolating, sultry shot of infectious R&B pop. A newcomer to the music scene, he enlisted the help of Thomas Gold to remix his debut single and its hot (and so is he and yeah that is him).

Christan George - Strangers (Thomas Gold Radio Mix)

Christian George- Strangers (Thomas Gold Remix)

A bit of everything

First I'm starting you off with a track that doesn't have any vocals...but! its an amazing electric track with the PIANO...maybe it's because I play the piano that I love it so much..I dunno..but this song is hot. Rising up from down under, this DJ is shattering dancefloors from Sydney to London...Get on this hot tune.

Redial- Overdrive 45

Next up is a hot tune from an up and coming band Heads We Dance, this group from Leeds (UK) has given new life to the song "My Heart Is Set On You". They are described as "custom chromed aerodynamic pop". Knowing me, of course there is a remix and by one of my favorite remixers Louis La Roche, which has featured on this blog already. He adds a little smooth electro flavor.

Heads We Dance - My Heart Is Set On You (Louis La Roche Remix)

The Last few tracks have a more underground/indie feel, but this next track departs from that. I have recently discovered a new track by 2 Djs from Germany calling themselves Phonjaxx. I really like this song because the beat is really heavy but doesn't drown out the vocals of Cosi Costi who is completely unknown to me. Nonetheless this song is hot. A must!

Phonjaxx Feat. Cosi Costi - Sensual (Original Mix)

So I'm sure you've heard of the Belgian group Ian Van Dahl made up of singer/songwriter Annemie Coenen, Peter Luts, Dave McCullen and producers Christophe Chantzis and Erik Vanspauwen have been quite popular in past years. Recently Annemie Coenen decided to release a track on her own under the name Anna Grace. This is for sure to be a smash and in my opinion diverges from a lot Ian Van Dahl's stuff as it has a much stronger house feel to a trance feel of Ian Van Dahl.

AnnaGrace - You Make Me Feel (Radio Edit)

Next is up is from a DJ hailing from Rotterdam in the Netherlands. Lucien Foort has recently released a track titled Sound of Love featuring the vocals of Mitch Crown. Seasmus Haji, British Producer and DJ, who always has amazing remixes has delivered again. I have 2 remixes for you by Seamus, check them out..
