Sunday Sloth

It's Sunday again, and that means headaches all around. So I figured I slow things down and toss up some awesome tracks that all have those awesome middle sections where the track slows down to a hip-hop beat then speeds right back up. Basically, guaranteed bombs for your DJ sets. Also gonna start a new little convention, you'll probably catch it.

Play That Next Episode (Original Mix) - Avicii (The Golden Banana) (REMOVED)
I mean, you get both an awesome Avicii House track AND fuckin Dr. Dre in one. How could you possibly beat that...?

Jump Around (Deadmau5 Remix) - House Of Pain
Well, you could combine Deadmau5 with House Of Pain, pretty solid combo as well.

Bad Boy For Life (La Mode Remix) - P Diddy
Played this at a gig here recently, and my god everyone just freaked the fuck out. This is definitely one of my favorites to pull out.

Puah (Original Mix) - Gigi Barocco
Have yet to play this, I was thinking of pulling this one out next gig, but I'm probably gonna go with the Avicii, and you can't really play more than of these sorts of tracks at any gig.

Pump Pump (Aniki Edit) - Snoop Dogg
What's especially great about this Fidget banger is that it works great as an intro track to your set, especially if you want to go heavy all the way the through.

Oh Yeah - Spinstyles
This is the only track in this list to slow down to Dub, so if you're more into that then this one's for you.

Let Me Clear My Throat - DJ Kool vs Da Urban Outlaws
Classic. The voice on this would definitely get everyone cheering, but the sampling of the crowd cheering would probably help with that too. You could probably get away with playing this as your second slow down track since its a bit different.

Y'all Know the Name (Flosstradamus Remix) - Jokers of the Scene
Craziness, and it goes into Simon Says by the one and only Pharoahe Monch.

Ring Ring Ring (Club Mix) - Kurd Maverick
Not something I'd play live, a lot more corny. But since it fits the theme I thought I'd post it, still definitely a cool song. More for the Prog House fans.

Spencer and Hill Compilation best of part 1

I love Spencer and Hill, definitely top of the top electro-house producers. Wolfgang beats them, Dave Darrel sometimes does but isn't as consistent, and Dabruck and Klein have a bunch of amazing tracks but I don't think they beat Spencer and Hill. I would recommend going to that collection site if A. you're a dj, because you might want as much as you can get or if you have a bunch of their tracks that arent in 320 this collection was basically all 320. B. Because I said so. A lot of these tracks are not new, and I might have thrown in a few newer ones, not necessarily the newest.

Go here to go to that huge post full of Spencer And Hill, here and here are a few older posts of ours.

It's the weekend, which means I expect all you to at least be drunk one of those nights. Throw some of these tunes on if you so please, and see the desired effect, you'll understand.

The Girl and The Robot (Spencer And Hill Remix) by Royksopp, by far the best remix of this song I've heard, beating the Elan by a long shot. I've been listening to this track on repeat for like 2 weeks now, if you havn't already gotten it, this is the time. This will probably be in most of my sets for a little while.

Cry for you (Spencer and Hill Extended) by September, Michael showed me the original of this song a long time ago, and it's basically tell my why by supermode. However, this remix is really awesome. Sounds kind Swedish House Mafiaesque.

Pitchdown (Spencer and Hill Remix) by Lowrider, really really interesting track. At first the beginning kind of threw me off and I didn't like it, but I've changed my mind. Something really cool about it.

Get Up (Vocal Mix) by Spencer and Hill, Walking bassssssss line. Funny to see in this collection of all these tracks how Spencer and Hill used to make some more funky disco house like tracks (though Fred Falke would probably be a better description in some ways)

Some Kind of Rush (Spencer and Hill Remix) by Booty Luv, same style as the above track, still great.

So much Love to give (Spencer and Hill Remix) by Dj Tom and Bump N Grind, good ol Spencer and Hill. This is their very typical sound, but gotta love it.

Keep On (Spencer and Hill Remix) By Cezar Cunningham, kind of a progressive feel in an interesting way, even though it's an electro banger.

Think About the Way 2009 (Spencer and Hill Remix) by Gig Barocco and Ice MC, so much fun

Boys Noize: Realized

YES!

With new albums coming from Boys Noize, Simian Mobile Disco, Vitalic, and Daft Punk, I think 2009 is going to go down as a great fucking year.

Records Back (Gigi Barocco Remix) - HardWaks & Mr. X
Awesome

Barocco Bombah

Gigi Barocco is here to save electro. Hailing from Italy, he blends good ol' Italian electro like classic Bloody Beetroots and Crookers with Fidget House, resulting in fantastic bangers. This guy is seriously awesome, and I'm pretty sure he DJs in that green robe you see in the picture. He's released an EP on Hervé's label Cheaper Thrills, which is a sub label of his main label, Cheap Thrills (what's the deal with sublabels, Institubes has some too?). I was waiting for Jumpman to post on him, since he showed him to me and said he would, but I figured out that it'd be much easier to just do it myself, might do the same for Edu K, as we've been waiting over a week for that post (it'd be nice if Jumpman added that awesome mix to this post). For all of you who are fans of The Bloody Beetroots, Crookers, Don Rimini, Foamo, Herve, Jack Beats, et al, then Gigi Barocco is a MUST HAVE. He has yet to create an electro track that is beautiful in the way that BBR have, but he's got the insane electro style down.

I Hold The Crown (Gigi Barocco Remix) - Redman
Pure BBR and Crookers influence. This track in particular may not be his most original, but it fucking KILLS. It will make everyone smile and remember the good ol' days when you were first discovering electro. Currently on loop.

Puah (Original Mix) - Gigi Barocco
Great electro, and a fantastic hip-hop section in the middle. This will destroy the crowd. Taken from Puah EP (Cheaper Thrills)

Pumpin Up The Meter (Original Mix) - Gigi Barocco
Track #2 on Puah EP

The Rhythm (Original Mix) - Gigi Barocco
Gotta love those piano chords during the buildups. Track #3 on Puah EP.

My Baby (Gigi Barocco Remix) - Ninfa

Hold Mee (Gigi Barocco Remix) - KICK-OH!

Think AbOOt The Way - Gigi Barocco vs. Ice MC
Pure Fidget, he even uses that one breakbeat sample that every Fidget producer loves, but I still can't figure out what its from.

Where Is It? - Gigi Barocco and Blatta & Inesha
The samples they use are interesting, and I'll leave it at that. Just wait for the end... I feel like I should be checking out Blatta & Inesha too.

Play With It (Gigi Barocco Remix) - Breakdown
More awesome piano chords, and that fucking sample again, please someone remind what it is. Even Fake Blood uses that shit.

Chapa (Original Mix) - Gigi Barocco

Crack House Talk (Gigi Barocco Remix) - Jackmaster

Delorean (Gigi Barocco Remix) - Gooseflesh
I love the high sound he uses in this one.

Chapa (Timofey & Bartosz Brenes Remix) - Gigi Barocco

Chapa (Mario K Be Trash Remix) - Gigi Barocco
Woah...
