MIXTAPE: S.P.F (Super Pacific Frequencies)

S.P.F. is my latest mixtape bringing it back to basics on the disco tip + classic house vibes. It is in part inspired by the persistently awesome weather in California, as well as by everyone's need for a little SPF when summer rolls around. Though in my world, SPF means "Super Pacific Frequencies" :-).

The mix opens with a tropical toe-tapper from Count Jackula (aka Moullinex) and leads into sunblockers like a b-side from Todd Terje's superb It's The Arps EP, a Bottin edit of Lio's "Sage Comme Une Image", a cut from Session Victim's excellent debut full-length The Haunted House Of House, my current Kraak & Smaak song obsession, and Turbotito's fantastic twist on a new Bonde de Role single.

Protect yourself this summer, grab some S.P.F. below!

Tracklist:

1. Count Jackula - Slowburner

2. U-Tern - You Don't Know Me

3. Perseus - Russian Girlfriends

4. Moon Boots - Got Somebody

5. Joakim - Nothing Gold (Todd Terje Remix)

MIXTAPE: Moustache

With a pile of tracks sitting around my hard drive and a free night to piece things together on the fly, I finally decided it was time for a heavy 2011 kick-off (after the three months of mixtape silence) with this retro-future blast of indie disco/italo/house.

This mix could fall under the Disco Desire series, but with the indie & house elements I wanted it to stand on its own. By the way, if you haven't heard the A-Trak's Robyn remix, wait 'til your ears get blown away.

Made in the night, Moustache was made for your night. The title of the mixtape memorializes the shaving of my mustache and, additionally, I visualize it as a soundtrack for a mustache'd dude (or chick, I'm not gender-biased), time-traveling between the last three decades to all the hippest, legendary underground clubs. Cheers!

Tracklist
1. Nicolas Jaar - Come N' Get It
2. Linkwood Family - Piece Of Mind
3. Apiento & Co. - She Walks (Pete Herbert Remix)
4. Domeyko/Gonzalez - Eschatol (Rio Lobotomy Remix)
5. Johnwaynes - Get Up (Just John Mix)
6. Aeroplane - Without Lies (Breakbot Remix)
7. Discodeine - Synchronize (Feat. Jarvis Cocker)
8. Tensnake - In The End (I Want To Cry)
9. Cut Copy - Take Me Over (Midnight Magic Remix)
10. The C90s - Shine A Light
11. Bot'Ox - Blue Steel (Still Going Remix)
12. Hercules & Love Affair - My House
13. Azari & III - Into The Night (Prince Language Remix)
14. Scissor Sisters - Invisible Light (Siriusmo Remix)
15. Grum - Through The Night (The Swiss Menergy Remix)
16. Robyn - Indestructible (A-Trak Remix)

MIXTAPE: Woo! Yeah!

This mixtape is named after the "Woo! Yeah!" James Brown sample, made infamous on Rob Base & DJ E-Z Rock's hip-hop classic "It Takes Two" from the '90s (and sampled in countless other songs). Although this mixtape doesn't contain a single instance of the sample, the Tensnake remix of Azari & III featured actually samples "It Takes Two" (although the remix also lacks the presence of the actual "Woo! Yeah!" clip, in continuation with my theme of contradictions).

Anyways, my Woo! Yeah! mixtape includes some funk (Change, High Fashion) sprinkled throughout for good measure to accent the rest of the set: everything obscure post-disco (Connie Case) to nu disco warriors (Midnight Magic, Aeroplane, Voltage, The C90s, The Swiss), indie rock (Tortoiseshell) to indie house (Miami Horror, Fabian, Moullinex) and on. A little bit of everything for the (adventurous music) lover in you...

Tracklist
1. Chɐngǝ - Got To Gǝt Up
2. Midnight Magic - Beam Me Up
3. Shine 2009 - New Rules
4. Azari & III - Reckless For Your Love (Tensnake Remix)
5. Discodeine - Singular
6. Miami Horror - I Look To You ft. Kimbra
7. Connie Case - Get Down
8. Tortoiseshell - This Girl (Canyons Dub)
9. Aeroplane - My Enemy
10. Mogi Grumbles - Disco Belafonte
11. Reboot - Enjoy Music (Crazy P Remix)
12. Fabian - Heatwave
13. High Fashion - Hold On
14. Voltage - All Night
15. Headman - Dirt (The C90s Remix)
16. Annie - Songs Remind Me Of You (The Swiss & Donnie Sloan Remix)
17. Monarchy - Love Get Out Of My Way (Tim Goldsworthy Remix)

There's a couple of DFA tracks (Walter Jones, James Curd) and Morgan Geist-related cuts (Margueritas, Metro Area), some newer finds (The Revenge, Tensnake, 40 Thieves, Ilija Rudman), and of course I couldn't forget the classic jams (Chic, Kitty Grant's Chas Jankel cover, Was Not Was, Space, Boney M).

The second installment of Disco Desire is here, embodied in a mélange of vintage & nu disco, house, funk, and old-school electro. If Vol. 1 was the ying, Vol. 2 is the yang.

A couple of tracks have been stuck in my head for days now, including the spacey Al Usher jam, the groovy Sammy Bardot edit, and Canyon's shoulder-shaking "Apples & Pears" track. Hopefully they will become cosmically etched into your minds as well... See you on the dancefloor.
