New choons 2.

It's been a bit since I've posted what I've been listening to lately, so I set the ipod on shuffle and here's what I got. Click the hyperlinks to check out the track...
1) House of House "Rushing To Paradise" An epic evolving house track that clocks in somewhere around fourteen minutes, but amazing from start to finish.
2) Holy Fuck "Lovely Allen" I caught these guys a few months back openning for Tricky and I have to say that I considered them just another squelchy indie band before they played this gem to finish the set. If I had to descibe it in words, I'd say that it'll probably be the song playing as the sun rises on our last day on earth.
3) Holliewood "No Sleep Til Brooklyn" This one's a bit harder, but you've gotta love how much New Yorkers love where they're from. This track was found on a Trouble & Bass mixtape with some heavy dubstep riding overtop, but the original is just as good.
4) Bingo Players "Get Up" (Diplo remix) Not much to say on this one, just Diplo destroying another track. Reminds me of an early 90's Long Island club track, this one sticks in my head for days.
5) Deadmau5 "Brazil" (second edit) First let me say that I'm not a huge fan of Deadmau5. It's just not the sort of stuff that I would typically listen to, but you've definately gotta respect what he's done this year alone, and this track is a great example. This one's a perfect sunrise track, and I've gotta give it to Deadmau5 for taking a bit of a chance on this B-side gem, nice work all around.
6) Dre Skull "I Want You" Honestly, I wasn't sure about this one at first because of the robot voice thing going on, but after a few listens I haven't taken it off repeat. The 12" features remixes by DJs du jour AC Slater and the young french buck Bobmo, but for my money it's definately the Dre Skull remix that is worth going right to. Yes, you read that right, Dre Skull remixes his own track and gives it sort of a jack feel, definately recommended for those times where you just need to get nutzo. Sorry no audio on this one, check it out at turntablelab though.
