First off, we have an original track from Chubby Fingers with a bassline that I hope remains stuck in my head for another week. Great disco house–will definitely be included in my french house podcast if/when I ever get around to it…

Chubby Fingers - Into the Night

And speaking of basslines, I was frankly a little surprised to hear this groovy Cut Copy remix coming from Boys Noize. I know and love his harder stuff, so nice to enjoy the lighter side as well.

Cut Copy - Lights & Music (Boys Noize Happy Birthday remix)

I know Felix Da Housecat is a huge name in house music and started pushing things in the electro direction early on, but he isn’t really on my radar for whatever reason. But Shinichi Osawa sure is, with his awesome remixes of Pogo and Star Guitar in the past. More good stuff here.

If I’m going to “play to a crowd”, I’d much rather do it to indie rock than worthless Top 40 shit. I hadn’t heard of indie darlings Matt & Kim before finding a Flossy D remix, but here is another great remix by Radioclit, whose name I have been seeing more and more. Simplistic, like the drum fills.

Matt & Kim - No More Long Years (Radioclit remix)

Lifelike has been yet another Parisian that I have been following for a while now (well, me and everyone else). This track has quite the extended intro, but eventually builds to another pretty house track with warm synths ala my boy Falke.

DK7 - Fashion Feelings (Lifelike remix)

This synth house backdrop works really well with the classic Busta track. Probably because this is from back when rap was legit, and he can really flow. This one’s for you, The Steve. I’ve got my ears especially tuned for these tracks now.

Busta Rhymes - Dangerous (Night Facilities remix)

Villains are my electro sweet spot. Hard but not too hard (as much as I dig that too) and just plain fun. Here they work on a new one by up-and-coming hip hop artist Shwayze from Malibu. I don’t hear “representing the 310″ very often–hell yeah! I sure am going to miss you, 310.

Shwayze - Buzzin’ (Villains remix)

(a) I used to hear this track all the time in the 2 Many DJs sets that we used to listen to religously, and (b) I gotta represent the latest efforts by Chew Fu. Like the guitar riff addition.

Missy Elliot - Lick Shots (Chew Fu H=H fix)

Credit to Busy G for these next couple. My boy has been throwing lots of good stuff my way, and great to have more ears out there. This remix of the Midfield General hit downplays the siren clips; but the vocals are my favorite part anyway, and I like the added distortion.

Midfield General - Disco Sirens (Push Music Electro Rub)

Doesn’t have to be new to be good. Either Busy P or Kavinsky dropped this at Coachella, and I stumbled on a post with several SebastiAn tracks recently–so this one jumped out at me.

SebastiAn - Motor
