A mix by Money vs. Soul Clap's Eli Gold


Double Standard Records is an extension of Wolf + Lamb. This is a mix looking back over 2 years and 10 releases, mixed by label founder Gadi Mizrahi (aka Money, aka Baby Prince) and Eli Gold from Soul Clap. I missed Soul Clap's gig the other night but this mix is helping me get over it. Some pretty smooth deep house here with the odd space laser noise thrown in for good measure:

Gadi Mizrahi, Soul Clap - Romantic Comedy
Greg Paulus - U R
Gadi Mizrahi, Soul Clap - Beautiful Thang
Gadi Mizrahi, Soul Clap - She's Bad

Perseus Dazed Digital Mix

I have just realised I don't have this mix on here yet, despite it being the thing I've listened to most the past few months. Get it in your ear boxes. The mixing at the end with 'Show Me Love' by Robin S going into 'Paris Is For Lovers' by Fet et Moi always makes me extremely happy:



The video for that Fet et Moi tune is also deadly:

Punks Jump Up with Dave1




Me: "His name is Dave One, he's in Chromeo and we love him."
Jessica: "You fancy a guy with a digit in his name? What the hell?!
What would you even call him in the bedroom?"

(pause in conversation)

Rachel and I, (in unison): "Here, YOU!"

Terrible robot waiters: not just for Rocky

Look at him.

1983, Pasadena. A Chinese restaurant called Two Panda had two robot waiters that weren't very good, but played disco music when they got confused. Yes, it sounds like something out of a wonderful dream: "They’re programmed to be nice to customers — 'Will there be anything else?' and 'See you tomorrow' — in Japanese, English and Spanish. Patrons whose commands confuse the pair get the response: 'That’s not my problem,' accompanied by a short blast of disco music to which the bubbleheads dance back and forth." - but I just read about it on the internet. So you know it's true. It was on the Smithsonian blog so it might actually be real.  Too bad they were totally rubbish, or we could all be getting our dinner from disco lovin' robots today. Read the whole article here

And I thought terrible/ unbelievably deadly robot waiters were just in the movies. Amazing movies such as Rocky IV. Embedding of the robot clip isn't allowed but click here to see it in action, with its amazing birthday theme tune.  

Robot: PLEASE MAKE A WISH / Paulie: I wish I wasn't in this nightmare.

John Talabot on Rinse fm

Underneath that tinfoil is more tinfoil, he's like a human pass the parcel.

John Talabot was on London's Rinse fm last month with Oneman. Here be the podcast. It just made my day. Huzzah! I love the DJs on Rinse fm - they say stuff like 'stric'ly the wickedest vibes' and can totally get away with it 'cause of their accents.



I have the mp3 of this for download, if you would like a link, just comment below and I will pass it on.

SWOON. It even has one of the best tunes ever, 'Goodbye Horses' by Lazarus on it, followed by some Chic. Roll on Body and Soul Festival.

Passions Rooftop Sunsets mix

race that evil twin to the rooftop

These guys hail from Sydney. They seem to have captured the sound of the summer right here with a mix including Perseus and Hot 8 Brass Band. It also has an inkling of the BEST SONG IN THE WORLD, 'This Must Be The Place' by Talking Heads, in case you haven't been convinced yet:


If you can't see the above box, click here.

Anyone down Sydney way would probably do well to go to their free daytime rooftop party on Sunday April 28th. Check https://www.facebook.com/danceclubsydney for more details; sounds like a buzz.

Solomun - Diynamic radio show

Pearl necklace not included

Solomun did a Diynamic radio show a few weeks ago, it's been in my ears the last while. Love his house sound: gorgeous, laid back and soulful. Soothing too, if you are hanging after a bold Good Friday... Download it, buy it a drink, it'll definitely put out:


Follow him on soundcloud.com/solomun for more sweet stuff.

Chromeo's first ever mix

I don't fancy yours much

Chromeo's first ever mix? Yes please.

Swiss Lips did a really quality mix for Dazed Digital, you can stream it here, it's got a lot of my favourite things in it - Gold Panda, Magician remix, Friendly Fires... no download as of yet but when I find one I'll stick it up.

UPDATE 15.4.12: You can download it now:



Tracklist:
1. Gabriel - Joe Goddard
2. I Follow Rivers (The Magician Remix) - Lykke Li
3. Forgive - Tourist
4. Vanilla Minus - Gold Panda
5. U Got The Power (Artigo Retro Remix) - Swiss Lips

Swiss Lips only have 3 songs so far but they are 3 pretty great songs. They just signed a 4 album deal with Sony so presumably they'll have to make lots more songs. Check out the three though, I think the last one 'Grow' is my favourite:

Weekend warm up with Rocky

Lazertits.com - a nice place to live


If, like me, you gave up disco and space laser noises for Lent, you are going to want to crack open these dance eggs and go to town on them with your greedy ear mouths. Or, craftily just eat the back out of them, then package them right back up and no one's any the wiser. I won't tell.

Also, this:


If you are even more greedy for laser noises, listen to Rocky's Sharon Street mix here.
