Yeah, somehow peeps don’t know so much about the dynamic duo known as Smith N Hack and their various solo projects Soundhack, Soundstream, and Errorsmith. Well, they’ve been around in the Berlin techno scene for ages and ages, and while they DO play around still, people seem to have slept on them a bit.
So let’s take a flash back to the year 1997; Soundhack’s first 12″ came out, and over the next 4-5 years Error smith joined him also with some self-titled 12’s. Then in 2002 they united to form Smith N Hack with their break through album “Tribute”. So around this time as well, Minimal techno was known as this weird underground shit, where it wasn’t so easy to find the beat and people were experimenting waaaay too much with noise and weird sounds. Then, somehow, minimal techno flip-flopped into this mega-boring drug music where everything sounded the same. oh well. BUT- both Errorsmith and Soundhack are still super fucking waaaay-out there, as one can find in a great live-set clip on Errorsmith’s myspace page (link above) and with Soundhack’s new 10th Anniversary 12″. But as a primer to the dynamic duo, I uploaded a bunch of their tracks, a few recorded from vinyl. So DJ it out and spread the LUV! (track listing after the bump)
Oh yeah, I’m definitely feeling this Bmore mixtape by DJ Rampage which I found over at the killer Gutter Broadcast blog. Definitely feels more like “real” bmore rather than “hipster” bmore (trust me, I’m not pointing fingers!) but this one is def the real Bmore style brutality. I’d say it needs a few more gunshot sounds and a little less percolator, but let’s not split hairs. Track listing after the bump.
Fuck, yet one more French duo here to bring cool tracks. Douster’s myspace page is pretty much full of good tracks. I got 3 from around the blogiverse this past weekend. When just casually listening through my harvest I kept running over to the computer to see what it was when their tracks came on. When it happens once, that’s 1 thing. Twice, that’s something else. But 3 times in 1 day - OK, they guys are good! There’s a killer Brian Cox remix over at the mighty Palms Out Remix Sunday (What- you don’t know about remix sunday? Jeeze… just go there) which is all crazy warbly basslines and shit. But this track below is a cut-up of Three 6 Mafia gem. Not exactly G-rated though. I wouldn’t play this for Grandma.
That’s right peeps, a new uber-edited Dj mix from my own damn self. It covers a lot of ground really quickly with an almost all-new playlist from me (which is after the jump). I’d say overall it’s a sort of clash between Fidgety house, bangers, bassline, all set against some old-school rave. I spent some time making this, and almost ever song is chopped and spliced. Please, please, please feel free to spread it around, help spread the word!!

Damn it, the thing about getting all your tracks from Blogs, is that once you get them, you’re not sure where they came from. One such mystery is the case of “Who’s That”, by the new group Jack Beats. There’s a bit of back story about them over at the almighty Palms Out Blog. But yeah, a few searches around have found me almost nothing about where I got this track. It’s a mystery as big as Big Foot, Crop Circles, and the success of Uffie . But “Who’s That”, is - to me- a sort of musical accomplishment. It blends rock samples, fidgety bleeps, and kick-ass jaded UK lyrics (Scroobius Pip maybe?) into a pretty massive pile of party-awesome. If you haven’t heard of them, Jack Beats is gonna be huge.
yeah that’s right: there’s a tradition here in Berlin. Every year , we do riots the 1st of may.
Don’t ask me why , but it happens every single year. cops are there to beat up left wing rioters who are here to throw stone to anti riot squads. go figure.
To celebrate , here’s a track from Revolte - no disco soft rave sound here, just plain hard stuff… it’s riot day!
Oh thank GOD! The Lord of the Rave is back! Hostage has returned with a new track! Glory be to Rave in the highest! Those of your who’ve been round these parts know that I think Hostage is “the tits”. His tracks make you dance like that (above) and they pretty much are always hard, ravey, and uniquely his own… Long Live the Lord of Rave!
So my new “mate” Ralph does a Bassline night in London called Wifey. I wanted to hear some more tracks and he set over this link to “a mix or two”. Well, these aren’t just any mixes! There’s 1.21 GIGS of Mixes there! And what’s more, the mixes are sliced into tiny bits so you can isolate the actual tracks. All mixed up nice by Northernline Record’s own Dj Undecided; this is the real cool Bassline shit! Sure, maybe some of the tracks are a bit generic, but there’s some fucking KILLER tunes in there too! And with 1.21 GIGS of material, you gotta dig for it. It’s definitely worth the effort!

(And yes, Sly1, for the record, I’m officially reversing my biased opinions of this earlier blog post.)
Aww fuck. This dude Nick Supply is making bangin tracks, and is only 19 years old and lives in Cape Town. Fuck! I want more OLD dudes like Switch on the scene! But at least “the kids” are making some killer tunes, and seem to want to party with the “right intentions“. But I grabbed this from an the awesome blog run by the Zombie Disco Squad dudes in the UK. Tons of tracks I’ve not seen nor heard before, like this super-funky-weird-jackin-house number:
Well i just wanted to share with you this information.
SÉBASTIEN TELLIER (Record Makers - PARIS)
Friday.may.09th
9PM.
Cookies - Berlin
VVK - KOKA36
Sébastien Tellier is coming from the nice Parisian suburbs. Versaille is the place. Like some more french artists, AIR, DAFTPUNK…
Same generation. They must have been to the same school. Maybe. He shares with Quentin Dupieux (m.Oizo) the same bear and the same fine humor sense.
He will perform at the fuck**g Eurovision contest.
But wo cares?
Only the music is important.
Go see him LIVE. He’s a great performer and the only one who can sing having a cigaret in the nose without being stupid.
Go and enjoy his sweet melodies.
Go and taste him.
We will!

You’ve heard his awesome XXX-booty shit before, Dj Deeon’s the man who brought you “Gimme Head”, “Suck It”, “Ride This M.F.”, and of course his massive hit “Tear The Club Up”. But I came across this awesome version he did of the classic Percolator track. After wondering who actually made the original track, I stumbled upon this page that tells the whole story, but it’s written like a 7th grade book report. I also added a video below the bump showin’ how it’s done but back to DJ Deeon; his link above goes to his myspace page, definitely a funny read and listen, so jump strait to “GOUZ” to get your own damn party started.
Awww yeah son, It was a clash that was bound to happen eventually. With Bmore club getting more brutal and evil all the time, with beats made only from shotgun blasts and breaking glass, it was only a matter of time that one day- one day - shit would really start getting evil. That’s right son, DJ Sega hits the clubs with some metal shit on a new Mad Decent/Hollatronics 12″. It’s sort of weird emo-rock-grindy shit with real Bmore style claps and kicks. I posted the 2 hardest tracks on it below. If you dig these then grab the 12″. If you’re trendy, grab the T-shirt. But honestly, this shit is WAAAAAY out and I can’t really imagine too many normal parties rocking this shit, but I LOVE IT! Check the video after the bump.

OK, we know you want bangers, and quite frankly I never slept last night, so you get this one- and it’s a GREAT one too!. I’ve played this track a ton of times at the various Bday parties, and it just fucking slays! Thomas Bangalter is indeed the Mac
holy ****! Remember the song “the power” ?
“The Power” is a hit song for the group Snap!. The song went to number two on chart in the United States during the summer of 1990.
Dunno if because “snap!” seems to be THE buzzword right now (sorry folks, “smash!” is so last month, hahaha) but I re-discovered the remix Kanji Kinetic did a while ago, pure awesome-ness which you will probably hear TOMORROW at NBI. That’s right, tomorrow is the day!!
Check out the rest of his tracks, or how Bassline sounds when it’s original :)
OH! We can feel the excitement rising for Friday’s mega-party! Have you invited your friends yet?? If not YOU SHOULD! They like having fun too, right? So what’s the big deal then?
But we’re not just trying to hassle you today, we’re trying to give you ANOTHER BANGER! And here’s a killer track by (what I think) is a group/band/project/producer with the worst name in the world. ‘Silent Butt Deadly‘ (Get it? Get it? There’s 2 “T”s…) Groan. Looks like homeboy is from Toronto, and the rest of his myspace tracks are fucking cool, so maybe we’ll just have to live with the scat humor. Regardless, the sound is fucking killer- more in the Bloody Beetroot/ noisey vein, it’s like “noise-fidget-house”. Wait- Did I just invent a new genre?
And who is playing on FRIDAY? None other than DURAN DURAN DURAN playing a special tag-team dance set with our own Sly1 and our friends Printed Circuit special over from Leeds, UK! Party starts at 23:00 @ NBI!
And what are you gonna party TOO? Well, when it comes to BANGERS- look no further than our own resident Sly1- He sat down, drank some beers and made a killer mini-mix last night just for YOU, YOU and YOU! It’s 33 minutes of kick-ass slapped into one semi-drunken set! We know what you’re saying, is there a playlist? Fuck that! This is about bangers dude, and bangers can’t be caged!!!! SHARE IT! LOVE IT! SPREAD IT! TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT FRIDAY! PREPARE TO PARTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OH SHIT YEAH!!!! We’re EXCITED! Why? Because THIS FRIDAY is the next BIRTHDAY PARTY!!!! WHOOO!!! And to celebrate, we’re doing a whole week of BANGERS! YEAH YEAH YEAH! BANGERS!!
First out of the gate is Computer Club, which is the new electro project from Gigantor of Evol Intent! WHOA! Yeah, it seems like the Drum and Bass scene is also going wild for electro these days. Which is interesting, as it means they will (probably) be making a harder version of the party jams we hold so dear. Certainly Evol Intent paved the way for a new style of killer super-hard Drum and Bass, and they always have the best production around, so it means we get more bangers! HA! Here’s a track I grabbed from LA-based blog Missingtoof.
Today is the international Day of the Record Store. So before you go out to meet us at today´s Birthdayparty at Villa, stop blogging for a second and get yourself some music on Vinyl, CD or whatever at an independent Record Store!
The Boss ain´t talk no shit, dude:
“I buy CDs all the time. I’ll go into a record store and just buy $500 worth of CDs. I will! I am singlehandedly supporting what’s left of the record business. I hate to see record stores disappear, and I’m old-school in that I think you should pay for your music. But what my kids do is download a lot of things, pay for them, and then if they love something, they’ll get the CD. That may be the future.”
