I was drawn by the rollicking bassline, swift groove, and alluring vocals. The Gossip first came to my attention with some remixes of Listen Up a couple years ago. Not really a discovery so much as a re-discovery. The last track is what I’ll be playing tonight, it’s a remix of Spitifre by Kill The Noise that totally rips apart the beautiful music, shamelessly smashing the mix into gravelly mud before dragging it through a mine-field.
I played an awesome remix of Unison by Knife Party a couple weeks ago.
The second track on the album, Unison, is less dubstep, more prog house, but it’s nevertheless a great follow-up to Spitfire, and combined make the first ten minutes of a great album. It’s not a song so much as an experience. It needs to be on display in an art museum. Spitfire is as tender and brutal, it’s a masterpiece tapestry of light and dark. The original mix of the title track lulls you in to a rumbly build-up into truly filthy dubstep, some of the best production on an album I’ve heard in this genre. Porter Robinson – Spitfire (Kill The Noise Remix) – Porter Robinson has been sneaking in to my mix a lot lately, that’s because his new album Spitfire recently dropped (October 11th on iTunes) and I can’t turn it off for two minutes. Fantastic official video for the original mix. I’m playing Megastrom’s remix tonight which significantly enhances the depth of the beat, but it is by no means any better than the original mix. Though my wardrobe tends to be classic black and whites, I’m almost tempted to splash around in some pastels listening to F.ck Art, Let’s Dance. NME said this band is perfect “2-bit jerky dance pop for indie geeks with colorful knit-wear!” I couldn’t agree more. The Conqueror is sophisticated indie-pop perfection, with an irresistibly catchy beat and ultra-smooth vocals. The ‘u’ key got stuck earlier on and now my backspace button doesn’t work… You’ll love this, without a doubt. The Gossip – Dimestore Diamond (Gramatik Remix) – See this week’s “ Featured” below.į.ck Art, Let’s Dance – The Conqueror (Megastrom Remix). But before you do anything else, before you even finish reading this sentence, check out Nightspot on their website. If you in to softer jams, check out the video for Under The Sun. The B-side to Nightspot, Stephanie All Night, is more of a percolating rocker with an intense harmonized chorus. This New York trio blends modern electro with classy disco resulting in a sonically smooth audio milkshake.
This week’s show is so loud, it’s like catapulting goats into a trumpet factory on the Fourth of July!ģ3Hz – Nightspot – “Wow” pretty much sums up my reaction to Nightspot after like 45 seconds. Here’s what’s in the mix for this Saturday night’s Weekend Energy.
