World’s End Press – Faithful G.L.O.V.E.S ‘China White’ Club Mix

GLOVES has traveled the world, and is slowly remixing his way into the hearts and minds of millions by infusing whatever he touches with dance floor drama. I’m told he’s an “Ausie Disco Prince”, and that seems plausible after hearing his remix of “Faithfull” by World’s End Press.

I really enjoyed what he did with Miami Horror’s “Sometimes”, and his effervescent remix of Bag Raider’s “Sunlight” on Modular is all over the place, but in terms of sheer dancablity, “Faithfull” is something potent. From the shimmering piano breaks that catch you off guard as the track begins to overheat, to the vocals being nearly overpowered by bass, this is everything you can ask for in a high-energy dance song.  I have a weakness for the soaring discotheque banger, and GLOVES captures the theatrics of a congested night at Studio 54, without the face control, and after a while you’ll be looking out for anything he’s had his gloved hands on. A US tour for late March / early April is in the works so save a date….

Bag Raiders

It has been a long time since Bag Raiders came across A/N but thankfully that time has ended. The duo from Sydney, Australia exploded out of the gate early on with Shooting Starts, but took their time releasing their first self-titled record and it sure paid off. The sound is polished and perfect. Great for just about any occasion.

Chris Stracey and Jack Glass showcase a lot of their work over on bagraiders.com. It’s the site to check. They also just finished their national album tour Dec 5, but most likely won’t be sitting still for long. For all future tour dates check their site!

The Bag Raiders album released October 10.2010 off Modular Records. Get yourself a copy today!

GLOVES [Saturday Night]

Saturday Night has me feeling for the weekend.  Another classic GLOVES mix has hit our radar and we think the Melbourne crew have hit it big here. GLOVES are great at producing fresh playful sounds.  They currently have a few local shows in Australia (Dates), but nothing exciting for us westerners unfortunately.

Also!, I also recently heard for the first time the GLOVES mix to This Moment.  It’s real gritty funk disco with some great synthesizer for your ears. There’s lots of different elements for you to dig so I thought I would include it.

Giftwrapped Weekend Fillers

I am about to take off to the cottage for the weekend but before I do I wanted to post up a few tracks that I’ve been digging this past week…

Grum made his way back to me with this heavy take on Tommy Sparks’ Miracle.  This track is terrific. The combination of the chorus with Grum’s talented ability to provide a fitting backdrop speaks for itself.  I love the bassline.  This will be played a few times at the cottage I’m sure.  The producer/remixer kicks off an Australian tour just after Christmas so if you’re in the area hit it up.

The latest from Gloves was worth the wait.  Too Much To Dream is a b-side brought to us by Discodust and hones the dreamy synth filter sound that I love so much.  Soft and sensual, kick back and easily relax to this beauty.

Gloves – Too Much To Dream

sonixx

This next track caught me off guard.  The SONIXX lightened up the hard hitting Bloody Beetroots for four minutes to make one stellar combination of traditional Beetroot mashing and light innovative music.  The vocals pop out the song a bit and help it reach that dreamy atmosphere I seem to be in for these last two songs.  It’s not your usual mix which is why I think I like it so much.

This one’s for the cottage.  Maybe a little too melodic for some but I really dig it.  Love the vocals.

The XX – Shelter (Them Jeans Drum Edit)

Anyway, off to celebrate the 23rd in style.
