DJ Shadow

Besides the fact that he goes to extreme lengths to prove his "street cred" (possibly see picture above for evidence *wink* *wink*), DJ Shadow is a fabulous dj and producer. Here is an extended version of Organ donor as well as his sound/city scape of San Francisco built up for an advertising campaign. Got this shit from missingtoof, but distinctly remember the extended version of organ donor from busy p's set at terminal 5 which was surprisingly good.

Poo Poo Platter

Some random stuff ive been listening to...give 'em a listen:

CLASSIC ROCK
Theme from the last waltz
Ophelia- The Band

CLASSIC HOUSE/BREAKBEAT
Bingo bango- Basement jaxx
Ganster Tripping- Fatboy Slim

CLASSIC 80's
Out of touch- Hall & oates

CLASSIC RAP
Death be the Penalty- Shabazz the disciple

CLASSIC ELECTRO
Love in this Club (mstrkrft rmx)- Usher
Radio Fireworks- Surkin

Basement Jaxx and Fatboy Slim

With the electro movement slowing down for myself, Ive been going back to get some of the more unknown songs from popular electronic artists, like Basement Jaxx and Fatboy Slim. I still love djs like mstrkrft, justice, etc. But, it seems as if the newer artists releases are all geared toward the semi-retarded hipster crowd which includes any kid who majors in anything artistic in college or is an asian. Everybody knows the weapon of choice, rockafeller skank, red alert, where's your head at, etc. However, these guys have a ton of gems in their discographies that are their lesser known singles and releases. If only I could be fucking in heaven like fatboy...

Basement Jaxx
Hush Boy
Do Your Thing

Fatboy Slim
Fucking in heaven
The Weekend Starts Here

Going back to the roots

Ive been watching some history of house/dance music videos as of late and these vids have really opened my eyes to this essential genre of dance music. Guys like Frankie Knuckles and Ron Hardy killed it back in the 80's mixing anything from classic soul disco tracks to the pop music of that time. You see these videos and realize how the whole dance movement is essentially about being yourself and having a good...er great time. Check out some movies on youtube and google video such as The History of House and Maestro are great.

Frankie Knuckles and Jamie Principle- Your Love
Talking Heads- Roots (Ron Hardy Mix)
