Bring The House Down

I'm going for a more multimedia feel (if you can't tell) to keep up the pace of the postings, given that I can't put up as many songs as before. That and making posts a little shorter (though apparently not this one). Still should be good though.

First up, something different and completely unrelated to the feel of the post:

Ministry of Sound - Clubbers Guide to 2009 (Australian Version?)
I normally don't get entire CD's but the Ministry of Sound series always seem to be worth it even if I get rid of over half the songs. Kind of a guilty pleasure? The songs are too big already to post, but here are some of the highlights for me on the CD (YouTube links). Huge range of style even outside of the ones included here (Fake Blood, Inpetto, Bag Raiders, etc.), check it out for yourself even if its just to see a few songs you missed out on (every song is definitely not going to be for everyone).
Human (Ocelot Remix) - The Killers
Everytime We Touch (Extended Mix) - David Guetta, Steve Angello, Jaochim Garraud, Sebastian Ingrosso, Chris Willis
Everything (Magik Johnson Vocal Mix) - P-Money feat. Vince Harder
Come Fly Away (Soha & Adam K Remix) - Benny Benassi
Need Me To Stay - Tommy Trash feat. Mr. Wilson

My genre of the day: D-Town Boogie (not a wiki)

On to the tracks.

What you need to be listening to:

If U Seek Amy (Crookers Toy Soldier Remix) - Britney Spears
This is the Milan boys' (see pic above) re-tool of Ms. Spears' new jam. Big bass and kicks add up to a slower version of the original.

Throwbackkk:

Promised Land - Joe Smooth

Classic, classic house tune. All the hallmarks of early house, it's straight up happy. 'Nuff said.

NEXT POST: Another Britney remix?

Re: Sweden Post

So my previous post on the Swedish House Mafia disappeared, and I have no idea why. If anyone knows anything about this, please let me know. UPDATE: I was able to recover all of the links, so enjoy. Sorry that the formatting is not as nice as usual.

TEXT OF POST (thanks to the e-mail subscription):

Vlkomnande till... Sweden

A little bit of explanation: the Swedish House Mafia is not post-minimal-breakbeat music from Sweden. I promise. It's actually a group of Swedish house DJ's: Sebastian Ingrosso, Steve Angello, and Axwell. It also used to include Eric Prydz (AKA Pryda. Don't worry, he's also going to be in this post) until he moved to London. All of their productions are upbeat house tracks - Eric Prydz was the one who dropped Call On Me - and they all have a similar style. Oh and they also love to get together in pairs and name themselves something else.

Also, keep up spreading the word. Interest in the blog is definitely picking up thanks to you guys. UPDATE: I fixed commenting so you don't need to be registered somehow to leave one.

My genre of the day: Swedish House Mafia

What you need to be listening to:

I have to admit, this might as well be a Know Your Genre because all of these songs are older, but whatever, it's all good.

Tell Me Why - Supermode
A remix of Smalltown Boy by Bronski Beat by Steve Angello and Axwell (Supermode). No way I could do a post on these guys and not include it, this song is huge. Think Call On Me with 80's vocals.
Tell Me Why - YouTube

Breathe (Instrumental) - Mode Hookers
A tune from Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso (Mode Hookers). Starts off with a repetitive beat, but quickly drops off into sweeping strings. Worth it just for that bit.

Breathe - Download

Nice (Eric Prydz Radio Mix) - Duran Duran
A great remix from Prydz that injects a ton of energy into Duran Duran's original. Another note: all four of the Mafia are amazing remixers (just check out Axwell's remix of Hard-Fi's Hard To Beat or Steve Angello and Sebastian Ingrosso's remix of Hard-Fi's Suburban Knights).
Nice - YouTube

Feel The Vibe (Instrumental Mix) - Axwell
Super house tune from Axwell, who probably makes the brightest sounding songs of the four. Made for clubbing on a beach.

AND

Nothing to do with the Swedish House Mafia, but...

I'm Not Alone (Extended Mix) - Calvin Harris
The real version of I'm Not Alone finally dropped. If you haven't heard it or downloaded it yet (see Fancy Some Euphoric? post in Feb.), do it now.

NEXT POST: May be a little more of a wait then usual. Maybe a normal post?
