Obscure Video Game Character #2

+500 Bastille Love and Admiration points for whoever can tell me the name of this character from one of my all time favorite games.

-M

Machines Can Do The Work (Ado Done Most The Work Mix) - Fatboy Slim vs. Herve
That crazy ass Electro Techno that everyone's so keen on right now.  I've got to say, I'm a big fan of the stuff.

Jabba - Kane
Star Wars themed Dubstep anyone?  This song will melt your face off faster than Han Solo shot Greeto.

James Bond - HAEZER
The heavy Electro hero from South Africa.

Drumline (Original Mix) - gLAdiator
Mah boys from Los Angeles bringing the old school Rave feel with some great drum samples. 

Superman (Ajapai Remix) - Lee Mortimer, Foamo
Some evil Dubstep sounds for you.  Totally something The Motherfucking Gaslamp Killer would drop.

Kinder Surprise ft Tomba - Borgore
Yup, it's Borgore.

HotDogFace - Funtcase
Where is this sample from?  Who on earth would make something like that?  And in case you were wondering, crazy Dubstep track.

Oh, and a big cheers to DAFTWHO?, especially for this post.  Great source for heavy shit.

French House Arrest Episode XI: 98 Degrees

To finish up the year 1998, I figured that I'd put up some tracks that also came out that year to give a wider perspective on what was happening that year outside of French House in Electronic music. Pretty varied selection, let's do it, and get super pumped for 1999.

*Also note new poll on the right

-M

Renegade Master (Fatboy Slim Old Skool Edit) - Wild Child

Breakbeat was dominating British dance parties, and Fatboy Slim was killing it with his funky, Hip-hop inspired jams that pretty much everyone can instantly recognize and sing along to. This track is no exception. He's definitely one of the best samplers the world has ever seen.

Sexy Boy - Air

Though not French House, Air was right there this whole time helping to develop the French Touch sound. This song rules, you probably already have it.

Copa - DJ Hell

Meanwhile in Germany, DJ Hell was pushing the German Techno scene forward, and would eventually come up with the worst genre name ever, Electroclash. Despite that horrible name, he made some awesome tracks. Some of his tracks get WAY too repetitive for me (and I can handle really repetitive), but this one's very cool. Great sampling.

Cruel Summer - Ace Of Bass

When I think of Pop music, I usually think of Sweden (my glorious ancestry!). Fun Fact: The masterminds behind some of Britney Spears' early hits were random song writers from Sweden. Ace Of Bass, also Swedish, released this in 1998. No comment on my particular opinion of them, but once again this post is all about perspective, right?

*Note the expression of the dude in the top right

Find A Way - A Tribe Called Quest

A Tribe Called Quest are incredible, and have released some of the best produced Hip-hop tracks, ever. They released an album called The Love Movement in '98, and it has this amazing track on it.

Abel Ramos Part Duex

J already did a post on this dude (HERE), but I decided it was time for round two. Abel Ramos is a Progressive House DJ/producer from Spain that makes some really awesome tracks (although they all do kind of sound the same, but that hasn't stopped me from raving about a producer before (love you Fred Falke!)). Anyways, all you House heads should definitely grab these tracks, you won't be disappointed:

-M

Right Here, Right Now (Abel Ramos Brighton with love Remix) - Fatboy Slim
Still our favorite of his tracks. I got to hear Kaskade drop this at EDC, so epic.

When Love Takes Over (Abel Ramos Paris With Love Remix) - David Guetta
Once again, his tracks all sound very similar, but I like this one in particular. God she's got a great voice.

Push The Feeling On (Abel Ramos Mix) - Nightcrawlers
This one is especially prog, really like it.

Abel Ramos Collection (All In One Zip)

Abel Ramos Collection (By Track)

Also, does anyone have any idea why most of his remix go like (Abel Ramos 'insert random location' With Love Remix)? Really curious.

Abel Ramos, played by Swedish House Mafia

While watching videos of Swedish House Mafia's set at Ultra Music Festival, I came upon a video where they were playing a great song, and in the comments it said who it was by, so I proceeded to get as much Abel Ramos as I could. They're all pretty awesome, give em a chance it's definitely worth it.

Louver by Abel Ramos

Right Here, Right Now (Abel Ramos Brighton With Love Mix) by Fatboy Slim

(That song is the one Swedish House Mafia played, it's awesome)

Stay (Abel Ramos Paris with Love Mix) by David Guetta

A blog called City of Vinyls put up an EP with an Abel Ramos remix on it so go get it: Here
