It's too late..it's

Robbie Rivera ft. Marnie - "Your Mistake" [Richard Dinsdale Remix] (Toolroom Records)

Well, we started off showing off an original Dinsdale track, so now let's highlight his remixing skills. This is essentially the track which led me to finding out just how good Dinsdale is. It's a piece of cut up quality, with a throbbing bassline and banging beats that had me quickly looking for my next fix to see if it was a one off or whether he really was that good. I'm glad to say that he is. :)

More from the man tommorow. Next up is:

Fireflies Ft Alexandria Prince - "I Cant Get Enough" [Richard F Spread Muzik 'Horns' Mix] (Data Records)

I couldn't actually decide whether to post this version or the equally brilliant Ian Carey mix, so I did a quick look on the excellent Hype Machine, and found that Digital Eargasm had recently posted the Ian Carey mix, so I thought it'd be more useful to post the other remix instead.

A whole week devoted to...

Richard Dinsdale is far and away my favourite producer. The guy just knows how to make a track pump in the right way. He is totally on fire right now and has knocked out a string of remixes and originals that make me want to jump around like a loon and wish I could emulate the sound he knocks out.

So, because I've got so many tracks I want to post about, I'm going to post a Dinsdale track each day along with the usual track, for the next week.

Today's track is the awesome "Wallop", which was on an AA release with "Code Red" back before the summer, it totally demonstrates the skills he has.

Richard Dinsdale - "Wallop" (Kinky Vinyl)

Second up today is:

Zen-Kei - "The Punisher" (Great Stuff Recordings)

Zen-Kei offer us a german EBM flavoured electro track which has all the bleeps, glitches and reverb that you can handle, as well as what sounds like a guitar riff that's been reversed and processed.

The tune everyone wants

Robbie Williams - "Lovelight" [Soulwax Ravelight Dub]

I finally got my hands on track everyone wants at the moment, as well as the vocal mix of it as well. The dubs where it's at though, and I thought I'd do the right thing by posting it for everyone else who wants it.

I'll admit it: I like Rogue Traders!

Rogue Traders - "Watching You" [Chris Lake Downtown Dub] (RCA)

Following on from yesterday's Aussie theme, we have the Rogue Traders. In fact, the guitarist in Rogue Traders was also in The Superjesus with Sarah Mcleod, who I posted about yesterday.

Rogue Traders made their breakthrough in the UK with "Voodoo Child", with remixes coming from Tom Neville, and Rogue Traders Member James Ash himself, the later of the two was the remix I preferred.

Their next big UK hit is Watching You, where they recorded the riff from The Knack's "My Sharona". I have to say that I find the original tracks catchy as hell anyway, but to make me posting about them on this blog a bit more credible I've gone for the Chris Lake Downtown Dub.

Can you feel it coming? Here it comes!

Sarah Mcleod - "He Doesnt Love You" [Hook n Sling Vocal Mix] (Renaissance)

Normally when there's a dub version of a track it's usually what I'll prefer playing most, especially when the vocal is female because they're usually so lovey dovey and shite (see most commercial house tracks for examples). But there's something about this one that makes the vocal track the one I prefer to play.

Maybe it's because the female singer concerned in this track is Sarah Mcleod, an Australian who was once the lead singer of a rock group called The Superjesus, which gives the vocal it's edge.

There are a few remixes of the track, but the Hook n Sling mix is definitely my favourite.

"The Botany Days"?

Les Rythmes Digitales - "Jacques your body (Make Me Sweat)" [Steve Mac's Squirrel Re-Edit] (Whitelabel?)

An interesting edit of a classic, nothing much more I can say about it. :)

Belgium's Best Export? (Yes, better than Soulwax!)

Actually that's probably too bold a statement right now given the Soulwax back catalogue, but definitely one to rival the Dewaele Brothers in the future I think.

Starski & Tonic, Resident DJs of Culture Club, Ghent where Soulwax themselves were once residents, and Dirty Dancing in Brussels, joined up this year with a third member in "Othello", to form The Subs.

The Subs - "Substracktion" (Lektroluv)

Substracktion is the latest release from the guys, and I look forward to hearing plenty more if it's anything to judge by. Starts off with a bassline that wobbles, squelches, distorts and generally creates havoc. It had already won me over on that alone, but then the breakdown comes along, and it has this nice little melody that comes in to add a new dimension to it.
