Coco



I just read wikipedia's blurbs about Coco Chanel after making sure that I was spelling haute couture correctly in an email. In the spirit of Coco's designs, and the last post with the basic structure, here's another one that was spared the virtual rubbish bin from my current mp3 darwinist actions due to too much blarghing.

Moby - Disco Lies (The Dusky Kid's Fears Remix)

Don't forget to throw some stuff on top of this in the 3:30 - 6:00 region, otherwise: repetition kills you.

Second Coming

K, more of The Rapture's !K7 Tapes. I think overall the mix is pretty good, but this song especially is tight. It's simple with two keyboards tops and a drum machine going. I feel like it's something akin to an Intro Body set. At 3:49, it is especially sweet with the driving keys on bass and just the kick. I wish I had more on the guys as their myspace page paints them as a really sweet dancefloor group.

Syclops - Where's Jason K

No joke, buy the mix. It's that good funk.

New (Rapture)



I haven't heard the mix at all, but Tapes by our favourite post-punk pals The Rapture looks to be quite intriguing. What's funny is that I haven't really read any buzz about it at all. I don't want to say that The Rapture is decaying, but hopefully they'll expand on their past success (man if I hear House of Jealous Lovers ever again...) By the way, it comes from this site K7. They've got some other guys in their DJ Kicks series i.e. Booka Shade, Hot Chip, Tiga, Annie, Erland Oye... oh my. Let's get it!

Here's a sample track via the hype:

Vaughan Mason And Crew - Bounce, Rock, Skate, Roll (Part1 & Part2)

If any of you folks know of other mixtape collections like this or Fabric's, let me know.

P.S. Here's another review of it.
