Optimo (Espacio)

Enjoy some vocoder fun from 2003. Part of limited edition remix sampler that also included a Chicken Lips and Zongamin remix. My girlfriend at the time brought this record home from a trip she took to London. By no means was this souvenir part of a 'wish list' I sent with her across the pond. Knowing I love music, she decided to buy me a record and this is what she picked out.

How and why I screwed up that relationship is beyond my comprehension.

Overflow (Optimo remix) / Playgroup (YSI) - expired.

Detroit

A quick post before I hop on the road to DEMF, or Movement, or whatever the hell else people are calling it this year. If you are in the D this weekend – get at me. Parties and afterparties and after afterparties galore...

Today's track will definitely be played on the road trip this afternoon...and maybe even tonite.

The Boy's Doin' It (Carl Craig remix) / Hugh Masekela (YSI) - expired.

Change your heart. Look around you.

I am a huge fan of the original. So I'm sure you can imagine my excitement when I discovered that Axel Willner aka The Field had covered The Korgis 80's masterpiece Everybody's Got To Learn Sometime.

The Field's new album, Yesterday and Today, is out this week and is completely amazing. The title track Yesterday and Today...whoa. And I've only listened to it once. Already blown away. Real talk.

Oh, and Kompakt has brilliantly packaged a cd copy of the album within the vinyl release...how great is that?!?

Crossing the line?

A brilliantly balls out jam to get people ready for the floor.

Right Down The Line / Gerry Rafferty (YSI) - expired.

I like it sleazy.

Best Village People song ... ever.

It also accurately describes the majority of last night's activities.

Midweek Mix

PleasureCruise'n reader Nicolai V.K. sent over a mix earlier this week. Upon listening, I thought it would be fitting to share his mix with all. 

Why? Because it's fun. And isn't that what it's all about anyways?

La La Land (FK Dub) / Green Velvet (YSI) - expired.

p.s.

How can one not love Green Velvet/Cajmere/Curtis Alan Jones/Geo Vogt? Dude's been making dance music with conviction for close to 20 years now. Tough stuff. And FK – well, that's just a no brainer.

p.p.s.

I am on fire with the double entendres tonight!

Social Butterfly.

So I joined Facebook. It seems interesting...but really confusing to me right now. Like, what the hell is my Wall? Anywho – to all those readers on Facebook, you can find me here.

Night Dancer.

Roller disco madness from 1979. Things really start to get nuts around the eight minute mark.

The lucky ones who got their hands on the El Bum LP last year may also recall the smokin' hot Beat Broker dub of this track.

Night Dancer / Jeanne Shy (YSI) - expired.
