Deko-ze's November Buzz Cutz!

DEKO-ZE’S NOVEMBER BUZZ CUTZ!

1. LAIDBACK LUKE – Rockin’ With The Best * Rene Amesz mix (Mixmash)
Now this is some funky shit!

2. BORIQUA TRIBEZ – Travolta * Cave remix (Adult)
When you see bouncing frantically in the booth, working the EQs like my life depended on it and shaking my ass, cuz its why my momma gave it to me, is because this techno stomper is raging through the woofers!!

3. KLEERUP FT ROBYN – With Every Heartbeat * Pete Tong & Dave Spoon remix (EMI)
WAIT!!!! Don’t run off! Yes, that is the same Robyn who did that wretched euro-cheese pile of plop “Do You Know What It Takes” from years back. “With Every Heartbeat” makes up for that disaster and SOOO much more!! This has been a favorite track of mine for months! And Yes, I do love the sound of her vocal (whereas Wade thinks it sounds like Kate Bush on acid. You decide...)

4. DEKO-ZE VS DJS RULE – Feel Love ‘ 07 (Hi-Bias)
Back in 1996, “Feel Love” was a huge underground hit for Canadian label Hi-Bias. So, as I dug through the Hi-Bias back catalogue and found this, I thought it would be suiting to bring this back for ‘07. This slow burner has been getting wicked reaction! Also, beware of a chunky and punky Deko-ze n’ Gavo mix, PLUS further remixes from Montreal’s Marco G and Toronto’s Cajjmere Wray!

5. SHAPESHIFTERS – A New Day * Nocturnel mix (Positiva)
One of the best uplifting house tracks in a while! It’s not quite “Lola’s Theme” but is a VERY close second!!

6. BJORK – Innocence * Simian Mobile Disco mix (Atlantic)
MAJOR! This remix injects Bjork’s already caustic beauty with some heavy punky and spiky drives. This is the sound of your computer beginning to turn against you.

7. RHTYHM CODE – Sing * Rene Amesz remix (Progresso)
“Tweedling Venutian Disco” from outer space! Now how’s that for a new sub-genre?!

8. MARK RONSON FT. AMY WINEHOUSE – Valerie * Count of Monte Cristal & Sinden / Andy Cato
The CMC & Sinden remix sounds like Ernie and Bert bouncing along Sesame Street on pogo sticks. Ernie is as happy as can be but Bert, because he didn’t get any the night before, is pissed. The Andy Cato mix is dark and seductive. In that case, “someone” obviously got some last night. Maybe it was Mr. Snuffleupagus.

9. ? – Beautiful & Horny
Butt-munchers and minge-eaters unite!! This is DIRTY!!!!!

10. KYLIE MINOGUE – 2 Hearts * Mark Brown Pacha Ibiza Upper Terrace remix (EMI)
Like Madonna, Kylie always gets hot producers and remixes to work on her goods. Scumfrog, Morales, Sanchez, Nalin & Kane, Quivver, Brothers In Rhythm and Saeed & Palash are just a few. The Original version of “2 Hearts” sounds suspiciously like Goldfrapp but it is Mark Brown who gives this track sass, mystery and after hours groove.


11. MURK – Reach For Me * TV Rock & Dirty South mix (CR2)
This makes me want to tear off my shirt, run to the dancefloor and wail along with the vocals like a large black woman. (Well.....)

12. DEPECHE MODE – Personal Jesus * Dirty South remixes (white)
In 1990, when Depeche Mode’s “Holier Than Thou” extended mix of the Original came out, it was the pre-cursor to showing the world how brilliant their soon to be released “Violater” album was going to be. No remix could touch what this version did. However, this Dirty South mix does a damn fine job!

13. LEFTFIELD – Song Of Life * Eric Estrada remix (Reticent)
WOW! Another classic given the 2007 touch! This will remind old schoolers why Leftfield were in the same running with Underworld, The Prodigy and Orbital. For those of you new to Leftfield, Estrada’s mix will give you a good taste!

14. PAGANO – My Religion (Iberican)
The formula is quite simple: steal a well known Dead Can Dance sample, put rumbling tribal beats behind it, have a hit and buy a swimming pool, house and car. Oh yeah, all of the mixes of this are stellar!

15. PIG & DAN – Sly Detector (Cocoon)
Brilliant nu-prog / tech house!

16. HOXTON WHORES – Fat Moment / Fusion (Hoxton Whores)
You know you have something special playing when the bass drops and simultaneously, a big beefy dude shouts “Fuck Yeah!”, a sunglasses wearing girl looks the crowd, points at her ‘No-no’ place and says gleefully “Oooh, I had an accident” and the bouncer looks at me with disgust because he knows the crowd isn’t leaving anytime soon!

17. GAT DÉCOR – Passion * Dave Spoon Electro remix (Addictive)
“Passion” was one of the Songs of the summer in 1997. Raves were huge, PLUR was the universal dance music lovers’ guideline and glow sticks were actually not entirely offensive (yes, really!) “Passion”, with its sexy summer vibe, united house, trance and prog heads worldwide. Thankfully, Dave Spoon pumps up the track without straying too far from the Original.

18. MOUSSA CLARKE – Regret * Daniel Lindberg remix (Dumb)
A fantastic cross between pumpin’ tech house and slightly melancholic progressive!

19. SLAM – Azure * Radioslave / Samuel L Sessions remixes (Soma)
After 15 years, Scottish techno duo, Slam, are still putting out quality choons. Their latest comes with a funky tech house mix from Samuel L Sessions and a drawn out, mind numbing mix from Radioslave.

20. DJ PLASMIC HONEY & DJ BORIS – Annihalating (Iberican!)
Deep, dark and menacing Tribalism. This on one of Chus & Ceballos’ labels, so you know this has the Seal of Approval!



BURIED TREASURE



DEAD OR ALIVE – You Spin Me Round (Like A Record) - 1984
Dead or Alive was the sound of sleazy hi-NRG disco. You can hear the influential growl of legendary drag performer Divine through Pete Burns vocals (and through his obscenely large lips!) They were loud, campy and relentless (Right Said Fred, please take note!). It also took things over the edge having the hit-production team Stock, Aitken and Waterman (Sique Sique Sputnik, Bananarama, Mel & Kim, Rick Astley) behind them and producing the second (and undoubtedly BEST album, “Youthquake”). This has been ripped off countless times (most recently by Daniie Minogue) but the Original is by far, still the best!
