We Play The Pipe

Wednesday, February 2nd, 2011

Disco Rapido – We Play The Pipe

“Will Pipe For Food” claim this silly duo who seem to be confusing the populace of a Northern town centre with an irritatingly catchy Eurocheese slice aimed squarely at the contintental dancefloor.  A suspected Ricardo Autobahn production.

File under “so bad it’s good” and “why am I listening to this for the 17th time?”

Rik’s Most Played, January 2011

Tuesday, February 1st, 2011

Thought it may be of mild interest to see what the last month’s most played tunes were my mp3 player, and provide some listening links.  As it turns out, they’re an odder bunch than I expected:

1. Everything Everything – MY KZ, UR BF (Grum Remix)

2. Pacific! – Narcissus (Jagz Kooner Remix)

3. Greg Lake – I Believe In Father Christmas (Yes, really)

4. Adam Freeland – Mancry

5. Probspot – God Shaped Hole

6. Von Haze – Outsyd Tha Nite (White Car Edit) [Salem Remix]

7. Binary Finary – 1998/99 (Eufeion Remix)

8. DJ Fade, X-Cess & G’Netic – Dreamworld

9. Rock Sugar – Don’t Stop The Sandman

10.  DJ Deluxe – Venga Conmigo (Spanish Mix)

Make whatever you like out of that lot!

Rumbly and Exciting

Thursday, January 27th, 2011

…is exactly how I describe this epic piece of haunting dubstep-lite thwobbing that Treblekicker punted my way the other day.  It’s hovered around the top of my Most Played list ever since.

It sounds a bit like being in an abandoned cathedral with a broken torch would feel at 2:35am after 11 cans of Red Bull.  If that interests you, you should press Play below.

Friday Tune: Narcissus

Friday, January 21st, 2011

Ran across this yesterday and it’s well worth sharing.  I loved the original but it was a tad short, so this stretched-out dancefloor-friendly remix is just the ticket.

No high concepts here, just some Ronseal hands-in-the-air clubbery.  Last one to the podium is a Coldplay fan.

Hardcore Energy 2 Storms the Charts

Tuesday, January 18th, 2011

Just a quick one for fans of the old-skool vibe.  The latest Hardcore Lives mega-compilation (featuring a smattering of the best bits from their last few releases) has stormed into the Trackitdown Breaks chart; its highest position so far has been 2, pipped to the post by the Plump DJs (well, fair enough then.)

Congratulations to the HCL guys for their hard work!  (And yours truly for the lovely cover, natch.)
