TV Friend (Hot Chip Remix)
Who Made Who [Gomma]
- Section: Music Recommendations Topics: DJ Gossip
Who Made Who, those maniac Danish characters who like to dress up in the oddest outfits and do covers of Benny Benassi are back with a new album and super Hot Chip remix.
Hot Chip, as you may well have accurately noted, seem to have remixed literally everyone recently; they hear a track, they remix it, that’s how they roll.

Technicolour
Metrik [Viper Recordings]
- Section: Music Recommendations Topics: DJ Gossip
Sounding familiar already? Yes Metrik has taken the same Nina Simone sample as used by Layo & Bushwacka on their massive ‘Love Story’ record and used it in this futuristic, up-beat drum & bass anthem.
Metrik joins the long list of artists this year to have taken the wonderful vocal talents of Nina and this time we see ‘Rags & Old Iron’ used on a high energy, techy drum & bass tune.

Empire In Decline / Third Piece
Peter Van Hoesen [Time To Express]
- Section: Music Recommendations Topics: DJ Gossip
It’s been a good year for Brussels-based Peter Van Hoesen, whose gritty, abstract approach to dancefloor techno has won him plaudits from across the techno spectrum.
This third outing on his own Time To Express imprint sees Van Hoesen doing what he does best - no-nonsense, gimmick-free gear that’s ominously sinister and deeply alluring in equal measure.
The New World
Markus Schulz [Coldharbour Recordin...
- Section: Music Recommendations Topics: DJ Gossip
This week’s trance recommendation was a toss up between DJ Preach’s ‘The Bailout’ and Markus Schulz’ ‘The New World’. However, it was ‘The Bailout’s’ similarity to Energy 52’s ‘Café del Mar’ that swung the vote in Schulz’ favour.

Plastic Dreams (Audion Can't Go Home Mix)
Jaydee [R&S]
- Section: Music Recommendations Topics: DJ Gossip
If you see the world in keywords, like I do, then this release is one heck of a search. Jaydee. ‘Plastic Dreams.’ Audion. Whoa.
It’s hard to touch 1993’s original ‘Plastic Dreams’: That simple little chord, riff, and rollicking breakbeat still does dastardly things to dancefloors; an evergreen energy-booster.

Where Were U in 92?
Zomby [Werk Discs]
- Section: Music Recommendations Topics: DJ Gossip
The sleeve notes to this album say it all: ‘Dedicated to 2BadMice, Shut Up & Dance, Lennie De Ice, Slipmatt...’, the list goes on, but you get the point: this is an homage to the early nineties rave movement in the UK.
With Zomby’s previous hits on Hyperdub and Ramp you might have been expecting a dark, chunky dubstep offering. Well don’t.

Pac Man
John Keys [Triebstoff]
- Section: Music Recommendations Topics: DJ Gossip
Triebstoff has long held a reputation for high-quality, groove-heavy techno and tech-house - indeed, the label was the first to be distributed by electronic behemoth Kompakt, nearly ten years ago.
This new outing from ‘John Keys’ is in fact the work of Chilean masters Dandy Jack and Andre Garcia, who last popped up together on Crosstown Rebels with the excellent ‘Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Tsedong?’.

Coco Brown / La Riddum
Scott Grooves [Clone Records]
- Section: Music Recommendations Topics: Beatport Blog
Coming from Detroit and having hung out at the legendary Music Institute club, one would expect the music of Scott Grooves to be techno, but he chose a more soulful, musical path to that of his local clinical contemporaries.
Having played the keyboards for Kevin Saunderson’s Inner City back in the day, Scott Grooves’ love for musicality shines through once again on his new 12-inch on Clone Records, ‘Coco Brown / La Riddum’.
RobertaFlack (Martyn’s Heart Beat Mix)
Flying Lotus [Warp Records]
- Section: Music Recommendations Topics: DJ Gossip
To start off with, ‘RobertaFlack’ had to be the stand out track from Flying Lotus’s phenomenal ‘Los Angeles’ album - its stunning ambience and soothing vocals took me back to my ‘Blue Lines’ days.
To then have this track remixed by Martyn, the king of everything that is heavenly and deep, is like pairing up the wonders of John and Paul, Kris and Kross, or Marmite with toast.
Forty Winks
Ada [IRR (International Records Rec...
- Section: Music Recommendations Topics: DJ Gossip
It’s only three releases in, but the Areal sister label IRR has delivered nothing but quality so far, with the likes of DJ Koze and Jon Daly offering up a distinctly leftfield slant on the prevalent deep house moods of the moment.
Ada’s first release for the label continues the form, with two tracks of sweet, soothing electronics.

A To B
Miwon [City Centre Offices]
- Section: Music Recommendations Topics: DJ Gossip
City Centre Offices, the German and English collaboration label, puts out another world class electronica album with Miwon’s stunning ‘A To B’ LP.
With some ideas no doubt borrowed from the Boards Of Canada camp, the projects sees pop meet shoegaze-influenced Ulrich Schnauss atmospherics and Japanese-inspired indie.

Vices
The Rogue Element [Exceptional Reco...
- Section: Music Recommendations Topics: DJ Gossip
The Rogue Element used to be the guy on speed dial for top of the range remixes, so much so that he even vocally expressed his anxiety towards making his own productions.
Once the winner of such accolades as ‘Best Breakthrough Producer’, ‘Best Album’ and ‘Best Remix’ at successive Breakspoll Awards, The Rogue Element has returned to the fold in 2009 to make his mark as much more than a breaks producer and hot remixer.

Great Matters EP

- Section: Music Recommendations Topics: DJ Gossip
Italian producer His Majesty Andre has dropped a couple of interesting house bangers this year, but the claims that he’s the next big Italian star are a little premature.
His new ‘Great Matters’ EP on Herve’s hot new label Cheaper Thrills however does show a high level of consistency and an exciting and varied approach to house music that suggests a bright future may lay ahead - all four tracks on the EP are certainly accomplished.

Breakage [Digital Soundboy Recordin...
- Section: Music Recommendations Topics: DJ Gossip
This year has definitely been a ‘feeeeeling good’ one; what with Johnny D taking the Nina Simone track and turning it into a massive minimal anthem, and Dutch d&b duo CLS and Wax rinsing their liquid homage to the soul legend later on in the summer.
Nina now gets the dubstep treatment, courtesy of Breakage (what old Simone would have made of it, no one will ever know).

Buttons (Markus Schulz Coldharbour Remix) (Markus Schulz Coldharbour Remix)
Sia [Ultra]
- Section: Music Recommendations Topics: DJ Gossip
As well as compiling a remix album of his ‘Progression 2007’ release, Markus Schulz has also found the time to remix Sia’s track ‘Buttons’.
Following on from Sander van Doorn’s massive remix of Sia’s ‘The Girl You Lost to Cocaine’, Schulz gives the record that similar tech-inspired edge, with loads of huge riffs and breaks.
