ddpesh has been on my radar for a few months since I came across their Chromeo remix one Sunday and used it in podcast #11. Mohan emailed me their latest remix yesterday, which is just as funky. Hip hop doesn’t get nearly enough love on here, and their take on the Jahcoozi hit is glitchy with a nice breakbeat. Keep ‘em coming, fellas.
Here are both tracks for your Friday listening pleasure…
Jahcoozi - Flatline (ddpesh remix)
Chromeo - Momma’s Boy (ddpesh remix)
This guy has been what I look forward to most every Sunday over at Palms Out Sounds for a while now. His tracks are technically remixes, but Chew Fu’s productions are way more than that. Turning well known songs like Sunglasses at Night and Wicked Games into banging hip hop/electro dancefloor killers is genius.
I threw his Jimmy Castor remix into the mix a few podcasts ago, and here are some more gems that I’ve picked up from previous Remix Sundays. Rock on.
Chris Isaak - Wicked Game (Chew Fu remix feat. Lee Majors)
Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams (Chew Fu remix feat. J-Cast & Substantial)
Corey Hart - Sunglasses at Night (Chew Fu remix feat. J-Cast, A-Clay, PVH)
Steppenwolff - Born to be Wild (Chew Fu remix feat. A-Clay & Lee Majors)
I have had the biggest man-crush on MSTRKRFT for so long now, and I’m finally seeing them for the first time on Friday at the Henry Fonda theater. I can’t wait!
It has been a few years since The Looks came out, and I am really excited to hear some stuff off their upcoming sophomore album. In the meantime, JFK and AL-P have been spitting out more awesome remixes than I can keep track of. Here are a few.
Chromeo - Tenderoni (MSTRKRFT remix)
Death from Above 1979 - Little Girl (MSTRKRFT remix)
Kylie Minogue - Wow (MSTRKRFT remix)
Metric - Monster Hospital (MSTRKRFT remix)
MSTRKRFT - Street Justice (MSTRKRFT edit)
Panthers - Thank Me with Your Hands (MSTRKRFT remix)
Services - Element of Danger (MSTRKRFT remix)
Wolfmother - Woman (MSTRKRFT remix)
