Old Skool nod...

Digging back to find to find tracks that I'd probably had on cassette in the eighties I pulled out three tracks that have got early electro flavours, but that are just plain good dance tracks. So I'll cut the chat and just offer up Joyce Sims, Shannon and Freeez...

Joyce Sims - All and All (File - Mediafire)

Shannon - Let The Music Play (File - Mediafire)

Freeez - I.O.U. (File - Mediafire)

Hope that this lot is at least worth a listen. As a small bonus (hopefully!), here's my Shannon remix that should be appearing on my MySpace player shortly (see menu bar above for links)...

4Watt a Year - 2 : Everyone Loves Fake Blood


I remember before going blog hunting crazy - the fault of Trash Menagerie setting me on the road to Hype Machine - that I came across 'Gasolina' and wondered who this Fake Blood was. I was blown away by the remix and invested via iTunes to get it into the podcasts.

Bondé Do Role - Marina Gasolina (Fake Blood Remix)

Next up was the appearance of Fake Blood's own 'Mars (edit)' on the Black Ghosts mixtape (funny that!) which appeared (albeit briefly early last year) on iTunes. With a bundle of Fake Blood and Crookers tracks I podcast (mix 28) at Easter (2008) more in the style or type of electro that predominates most of the 4Watt podcasts now. I've posted the Player's Player remix which works well in a mix.

Fake Blood - Mars (Player Player's 95 Jump Mix)

Finally, my overall favourite from my fake Blood remix files is his Dan Le Sac vs Scroobius Pip re-work of 'Look for the Woman'. This has all the classic Fake Blood breaks and bass, and the trademark 'Fake Blood' ident melded out of parts of the original vocal. Genius.

Fake Blood is Theo Keating. One half of The Wiseguys and The Black Ghosts.

He's a national treasure, so go buy Fake Blood on iTunes.

Back to bLEUET...


Having featured
bLEUET's remixes and his guest podcast (over 700 downloads!) in my first blog I thought a return to check out his first tracks was definitely called for.

> bLEUET - Boomstick (
File or Mediafire )

> bLEUET - Sinistre Beat (
File or Mediafire )

The exciting news is that according to the bLEUET MySpace page a remix for 'Boomstick' is forthcoming from
BSBTRGDCLUB, and TechJio will be on remix duty for his forthcoming 'Moskau'. I hope to persuade the busy Mr Paré to let us share them with you.

Download and play often...
