Samantha Fu - "Theme From Discotheque" (Play It Again Sam (PIAS))
(Note the change to YouSendIt due to download problems for visitors)

This old one (from 2001) was recently pointed out to me, and it's an absolutely banging track. With the intention of posting it up on here, I was doing some research I was shocked to find out it's origins. Apparently it's actually a production/remix made for a Ghent-based dance group, called Kung Fu, for a production they were performing called Discotheque.

If you didn't already know, it's origins in Ghent, Belgium, may have already given it away.

"Samantha Fu" are actually Soulwax's Dewaele brothers!

First God made heaven & earth

Jaytech - "Genesis" [Pablo La Rosa Remix] (Rapid Response Recordings)

Almost forgot about this one from Aussie, Jaytech, but recently caught onto it again, so I thought I'd post it. In fairness pretty much all of the remixes I've heard of this track are all damn good. They all feel different, but retain the feel of the original, which was pretty good in the first place.

I've gone for this one because it's got the right sort of sound that I personally like right now, but if you're not quite feeling this particular mix, have a look for any of the others such as the Christopher Lobsinger remix, Jimbo's Afterburner Remix (aka Jaytech himself), or even the original, because I reckon at least one of them will float your boat.

Booty Luv - "Boogie 2Nite" [Danny Freakazoid Remix] (Hed Kandi Records)

I had to check the blog to see if I've ever posted a Danny Freak track before, because I seriously rate him. Turns out I've never posted anything before, which is a bit of shock because I loved his collaborative remix with Elvis Benait on Fedde Le Grand's "Just Trippin", but maybe I'd started this blog later than I realised.

The fuss over Boogie 2Nite has largely passed me by, despite it being a rather big club track, and is due a chart release soon But Danny Freakazoid has stripped back the original, leaving just a small snippet of vocal, and building up an electro track that is probably a shade minimal. I still like it though, and I think is definitely my favourite of the remixes available.

Also, check out Danny Freakazoid's original tracks, such as "Discount", "Teken" and "Nasty". I've not heard his recent album yet but if it's anything like those 3 tracks I'll be happy.

Take Me.....Back To..........House...House...House...House

Basement Jaxx - "Take Me Back To Your House" [Speaker Junk Remix] (XL Recordings)

I FUCKING LOVE THIS. Dirty, filthy and nasty! Jaxx need no introduction, so I won't bother. This track is all about the remix anyway. Speaker Junk are new to me, and definitely loving what I'm hearing so far. Check out Speaker Junk's own original track, "Scratch Up The Music", which is also full of hard hitting beats and basslines that will mess up those speakers. It's just all so bloody great. More Speaker Junk coming soon I think. Definitely one to keep an eye on!

Edit: In fact, have a bonus track:

well I did say I'd post it...

Mark Knight & D. Ramirez - "Throb" (Toolroom Records)

This is another track from the upcoming Toolroom Allstars EP, from which I took the Dinsdale/Knight collaboration "Crunch", last week. This one isn't quite as good in my opinion, but still a great track. As with "Crunch", this track also has two great producers combining their talents to produce something that will take a hold of the dance floor and not let go till it's finished.

More norwegian tech house

Tronso and Stian Klo - "Subway Delight" (Invent Recordings)

More from the Norwegians Tronso and Klo, with this latest one on a release which has "Stuck With a Weirdo" on the A side. This is the better of the two though, and is no doubt getting the support it deserves by numerous DJs.

Watch Out !

Style Of Eye - "Watch Out!" (Eye Industries)

One from the summer, and what a thumping tune this is. Dirty Techy Electro at it's best. I found out about Sweden's Style Of Eye through their excellent Switch-like remix of Wekan - "Skid", that provided a great alternative to the brilliant DJ Touche Mix which I love. Well worth digging out both of those remixes if you can.
