Flight Facilities - Crave You

This is no doubt one of the songs of the year and finally it has a cool video to go with it. Its a song that really makes you long for summer days again and the video is just as refreshing as the track. Also being posted today is my favorite remix of the track, namely the Bxentric one, which keeps the vibe of the track while adding a few handy bongos which play up the summery vibe and make it DJ appropriate. Flight Facilities themselevs seem to be on a bit of a roll of late, putting out numerous quality remixes and I can't wait to see what original they'll come up with next.

In other news, by tommorow, I should have enough money for my new turntables. Since my current numark ones seem to have finally kicked the bucket, I figured now was a good a time as any to upgrade from my entry level ones to some Technics (probably a pair of 1210 MK5's). Finally I'll be able to start making more mixes to put up here and hopefully get myself some more gigs.* However I will be very very very poor.

Also for the record, despite my previous mix going up under the name 72, I've revived my old name Sleepyhead for that style of disco and hip hop. I think I'll keep 72 for more uptempo bassy music though. Anyways, enough about me, stay tuned for more blogging goodness in the days to come.

*Speaking of summer, can we get some pool parties going in Perth? And if so, can I DJ at them? Please?

Miami

God I love this track. Foals are a pretty good band, Tim Fuchs I don't know, but Flight Facilities are always good. Supposed to be out now but unfortunately only in the UK can one get this track. Patience they tell me is a virtue.

In other news, got my first DMCA complaint today, hence all the Lemonade links have been taken down. Cept for the Yelawolf one, that links to the Smoking Section. Good news I guess is that someone has actually read the blog....

Cassian

Despite the my constant bitching about the loud, noisy, steaming-pile of shit electro that is the screen door to my submarine, I will always love the electro of the Australian variety. The sort of electro that is done oh-so-well by acts like Cut Copy, Shazam, DCUP and Miami Horror. That melodic and funky variety, closer to disco than anything else, that makes fans of it around the world believe that life in Australia is a permanent beach party.

Add to that list a Sydney kid by the name of Cassian. His tracks as I’ve found are insanely dope. Descended directly from that tradition of worshipping Daft Punk’s Discovery (his bootleg of High Life is especially sweet), he creates tracks and remixes that are catchy, memorable and very fun to DJ with. He’s a member of the Bang Gang roster, but mark my words, if he keeps up this run of form he’ll be getting that Modular Money in no time.* However in trying to find any more information about the guy, no bio seems to exist beyond a press release for his first EP describing him as “the original fuuuuuunky-fresh zulu synth warrior”.

Grab some tracks from him, they’re well worth it and don’t forget to head over to beatport to buy the rest, they are well worth your hard earned simleons.

*I’ve always been under the impression that the way Modular works is that it takes its revenue from lesser acts like Wolfmother and The Presets and uses it to fund promotion of more awesome music, eg. Tame Impala, Canyons, The Swiss. (Cut Copy and Bag Raiders are self sufficient)

PS WHERE THE FUCK IS THE NEW AVALANCHES ALBUM? ITS BEEN TEN FUCKING YEARS!
