Annie Mac’s show the other day had some pretty good tracks on, which I’ll be posting either tomorrow or Tuesday. Including a new Louis La Roche track, but more on that in my next post.
The first track of this post is by LMFAO and features ‘crunk’ artist Lil Jon. I like LMFAO (especially ‘La La La’) as they seem quite different but make some great stuff, though I’m not really sure about this track. Other blogs have called it ‘party track of the year’ etc, and i can see why, its just a bit of a trashy song overall though. Still, its catchy and you may as well listen if you like either artist.
Secondly a new Herve track called ‘Who Da Champ’. Its a more welcome return than his last song (‘Baseball Bat’, which everyone seemed to hate) and in fact features the melody of ‘The Champ’ by The Mohawks (song made famous by Soccer AM’s ‘Tramp’). Not his best work but its decent, only a 3 minute preview or so but still.
In other news I saw an ad for Little Boots‘ album ‘Hands’ yesterday. Probably signals the start of mainstreamship for her but regardless, hopefully she’ll do well with the album. A bonus track from it called ‘Not Now’ has surfaced and I’m not sure why it wasn’t included on the main release as I reckon it’d be one of the standout tracks. Retro but very good!
Now The Qemists‘ ‘Dem Na Like Me’ got a lot of attention in the blog world at the start of the year and its easy to see why. Anyhow yesterday I found a new remix of it, called the ‘VIP Mix’ (I dunno whether this means its by a guy called VIP or what), and its pretty sick. It focuses more on the drum’n'bass aspect than the original and less on the vocals and overall is a sick remix.

Lastly for today I have a couple of remixes of the fantastic P-Money’s ‘Everything’, which AK posted about not so long ago. The original is amazing and one of my favourites of 2009 also (even though it came out last year in NZ, but still) and these remixes are good also, but not as good as the original. The first one is a rap remix featuring Scribe (who P-Money’s worked with a lot before), and 2 other guys called David Dallas and PNC. Its pretty good overall, everything blends together pretty well. Secondly I have a mash-up of Everything with Deadmau5’s ‘Ghosts N Stuff’ (which seems to be popular for making mash-ups with!). The original Ghosts N Stuff is sublime, as is Everything, and the 2 fit together in an alright manner, its definitely not one of the worst mashups I’ve heard anyway.
