In blog world we’re a bit late on this one but none the less it’s still good for glory. New from UK producer duo, SuperMal – whose tracks and remixes are regularly supported by the likes of Grum, Fear of Tigers and Russ Chimes – is this super-synth Frenchfest remix of Dada ft. The Other ‘Majestic’. Frenchmen take cover, this one’s incoming straight from across the channel and it’s gonna blow!
We of course first came across the pair when they asked to collaborate with Phonat on the now widely favoured ‘Pixelated‘.

Mofo Hifi label buddy and fellow fan of all things filthy and electronic, Sharooz, ain’t one to stay still for very long. Evident in this, the latest from his vaults, somewhere mid-London via Miami.
As the debut for his new label, La Bombe, Sharroz has demonstrated how firmly his ear is stuck to the (dance)floor. Getting much-hyped Miami wunderkind, SonicC, to give his forthcoming cut, ‘Saccharin‘, a damn good roughing-up is a touch. And one that hasn’t gone unnoticed in blogspehere. With the likes of Discodust, GottaDanceDirty, and Louis Louis all chomping at the bit to post the remix ahead of the game, this ‘high-rising’ sonic punch in the face gives La Bombe it’s first point on the score-card.

When we ain’t busting it hard with a fat bassline, we like things a bit deeper here at TYP HQ. Surfacing towards the end of last year and already boasting an array of taste-maker DJ/blog support, dadahack is a new cross-country production duo made up from 1-part James Banbury (based in UK) and 1-part Pete Davis (based in Sweden). The first material they have teased out under their dadahack moniker is a 5-track EP called ‘Hellos’; a heady mix of house, nu-disco, electro and sleaze.
The lead track ‘Hello Dust’ features vocals from Hannah Robinson, but for me it’s all about the sensational 11-minute gritty electro workout from Freelance Hellraiser that never ceases to tires my ears.

The ‘Hellos’ EP drops ahead of a clutch of forthcoming remixes and new tracks from the duo, paving the way for a dadahack album due for release in the next coming months. The full ‘Hellos’ EP bundled with alternative remixes by håkan lidbo and Tranquility Bass can be purchased in high quality via the dadahack homepage.
And now for something new from a man that need no introduction.. oh, except to say that his eponymous debut album is due for release in September and this is the lead.. Ladies and Gentlemen, i give you the MIGHTY Phonat!

‘Set Me Free’ is a brilliant fusion of the loveliest elements in both french house and the more melodic variations of current big room sound, combining huge riffs reminiscent of pryda or (gasp) deadmau5 with the edgey disco roots of daft punk and the soulful warmth of a fred falke production, in short: phonat delivers this season’s perfect peaktime anthem. check out the official video and the extended mix right here.

In order to reach out to an even greater audience, ‘Set Me Free’ has been remixed by Avicii, the latest ‘made man’ in the orbit of the Swedish House Mafia, mosh-pit dubstep terrorist High Rankin and the UKs hardest working french revolutionist and personal friend/peer of Phonat, Louis la Roche. The single with remixes just dropped on beatport today but you can preview all tunes in 192 kbps right here.

Following on from the success of the Sidechains remix of Blue Pearl’s ‘Naked In The Rain 2009’, UK based Big Life Records continue to revisit their extensive back catalogue. Now back for 2009, Yazz’s ‘The Only Way Is Up’ has been bought back to life by Goshi Goshi. An ever-rising space-bass glitch affair that nods less than gracefully to the chopped-up work of Coldcut who were responsible for producing the original 1980’s classic.

Discovered by Mofo Hifi Records, Goshi Goshi’s debut, ‘Lock Shot’ was massively hyped across blogspehere as well picking up support from Kissy Sellout, Andy George & Jaymo and The Loose Cannons. ‘Lock Shot’ went on to be signed to Norman Cook’s Southern Fried label and Goshi Goshi continued to make their mark with remixes of The Young Punx and Autokratz for the mighty Kitsune.
This brand new Sidechains remix takes a once pretty tired, has-been track and gives it the full 10-years younger treatment.
New teeth, polished skin and an coiffe to die for, Sidechains have totally restyled an ageing Blue Pearl record, dressed it to the nines with old-skool references and vintage flavourings and made it hot property, superb!
now… where’s manhood (ahem).. must watch football, must drink beer..

I first came across Don Diablo some time around 2004 – 2005 when we collaborated on the production of a fairly commercial track, that went out under a different name. Back then he was something of a mystery in that he had achieved some kind of superstar status in his native Holland, whilst being pretty much unknown just a couple of hundred miles away in the UK. The situation was pretty much the same in 2007 when we commissioned this remix of Your Music Is Killing Me from him. We thought he was a great artist, who we had mutual respect with, who seemed to operate in the same musical world as us – we both had our feet firmly in the world of European club / house music, yet found that niche rather too cliquey and restrictive. We both wanted to add more to the mix : Rock, rap, pop – MUSIC goddammit! Yet if you mentioned him to most UK clubbers they would still have no idea who he was, despite being on the cover of glossy magazines at home.
Don Diablo and a furry friend.
The past 12 months has seen all that turn around. With numerous plays on the likes of Pete Tong, CD cover mounts in the UK, and a worldwide blog mp3 hypemachine drive for glory, he is now one of the most blogged and well known electronic artists around.
And last week we noticed a new phenomenon of people blogging his mix of us. Simply put, if other people are blogging our track, then we may as well too! So, from 2007, but still sounding pretty fresh now, here’s The Young Punx with “Your music is killing me” as remixed by Don Diablo!
Praise be! The long awaited Episode 24 of The Young Punx FM podcast is now available for your enjoyment.

This is a remix I did of Seven Nation Army in 2005 I think. It seems to have started bubbling up on a number of cool blogs over the past few weeks, usually in a pretty lofi form, and since it is next to impossible to buy, I thought I would post a better quality version here.
People are seeming to think it is a remix of the White Stripes original, but actually it is a remix of a cover version done by Openair, for release on Skint records. The record seemed to disappear into development hell, and to the best of my knowledge never really got released properly despite being quite popular.
For reasons best known to me at the time I decided to make the track into some kind of disco meets basement jaxx party number, and I recorded a whole disco track on bass, guitar, 70s synths, drums and live brass, in my bedroom, mixed it down, then sampled it and cut it up to make this mix. That was really at the tail end of the “Room 5 Make Luv” era disco house and was probably kind of going out of fashion. in 2009 however, with disco making a big resergence in London, the track seems to have a bit of relevence again, though I wouldn’t make it sound exactly like this if I were making it today.
Anyway, its something of a lost classic, that people seem to like, so have a listen.
