At last, a version of that pointless song that I actually like
Fedde Le Grand - "Put Your Hands Up For Detroit" [TV Rock and Dirty South Remix] (Data Records)I've come across Dirty South before, and are highly recommended, but I'd not heard of TV Rock before, so I now have some homework to do this week!
I can't emphasise enough how much the original PYHUFD track just didn't do it for me. It was massive in the clubs, I know, but personally, it just didn't do anything for me. Subsequent releases have improved my opinion of Fedde Le Grand, and now finally, I have a version of the original that I do actually like, and all because the bassline is now a little more interesting than it was before. That's it. that's all that was missing. Now I'm happy and I can move on.
Norway makes great tunes!
Nils Noa & Rene Amesz - "Stereo Style" [Original Mix] (Lot49)
Not much I can say about this track really. It's on Meat Katie's Lot49 label, and is by Norwegian Nils Noa, in a collaboration with Rene Amesz. It's a meaty dirty house tune, with fx and vox glitched and distorted to perfection. Absolutely BANGIN!
ILTT goes Minimal
Loco Dice - "El Gallo Negro" (Ovum Recordings)
I'm not usually one for the deep minimal sound. This track is the B side on this release, with Flight FB7475 on the other side, but it's the b-side which is doing it for me.
I'm not really sure WHY I like this, there's just something about it. It takes a long time to build up before the deep bassline finally comes in, but it's one of those tracks that gets under your skin and can be on repeat for hours without you realising. At least for me anyway.
More of those noises that I like
An early morning one as I will be probably be having a few beers in the evening and won't be in a fit state to work the buttons to make a post, so here it is now instead.
Smike - "Housekutz" [Tony Arzadon Remix] (Juicy Traxx)Taking the cut up vocal from the original track, Tony opens with it and turns the original track on it's head to deliver a much harder thumping house track that makes all the right noises.
How the fuck haven't I heard this before!?
Benny Benassi Presents The Biz - "Satisfaction" [Steve Murano Remix] (Data Records)
The original is already 3 years old, and this remix came out in the same year, so I'm amazed I've only just heard it! It's a hefty 8 and a half minutes long, and sounds like 3 remixes in one.
The first 3 minutes of this track are great in it's own right, though doesn't sound much like the original but for the ghostly vocals from the original like you hear in poltergeist when the girl is trapped in the TV. That's the best I can describe it!
But then the breakdown comes along at 3:05, and by 3:37 you're thinking it's a different, though pretty boring, standard house remix because it sounds more like the original again but for some heavier beats.
But then at 4:34, just a minute later, it breaks down yet again, and this time when it kicks back in is where the real beauty of the track is. It's the best satisfaction remix ever, in my opinion! :)

One Motion - "Mercy" [Original] (Mena Music)
Being a Sunday, this is quite an apt choice!
Mena Music definitely put out some good stuff on their label, and this is no exception. I'm not normally one for the cheesy commercial house you get in the charts, but this is one I enjoyed. A memorable hook which you can't help but sing to yourself when you're out and about, along with a very complimentary bassline makes this one of my favourite tracks from a few months back. Simple yet effective.
