January Promo Mix

Something new in 2010. We've had a little idea at Staying Sick. We figure there's so much new and good music constantly coming out. We want to share all of our favourites with you but then you run into trouble for posting songs in full form, or mp3's in too high a quality or tracks which haven't been released and rightly so as the artist have the rights to these and should be pissed about everyone getting something for free, even though unfortunately it's inevitable.

What we have in mind is a monthly Promo mix for you all. The aim of these mixes will be to showcase a bunch of new stuff which were into while also throwing in a couple of old favourites to keep it interesting. Each of these mixes will be recorded live to add an additional element of excitement (cos lets face it, any prick can pluck a perfect mix together on Ableton etc). These mixes will cross many genre boundaries as we like many genres. However, at the same time we aim to have the mixes flowing and fun.

The first mix we've done is actually not full of new tunes at all. Quite the opposite, we decided to choose mainly old tracks which we've liked for a long time with the exception of a few newbies to give you guys an idea of what we like and where we're coming from. So enjoy the first in many monthly promos.

Mix Monday 37

Last year's Parklife festival in Australia was Aeroplane's debut appearance on the Australian scene and the lack of attention surrounding this Belgian duo was quickly turned around. What is remarkable about these guys is two things. Firstly, their production is amazing. Simple and not overdone their work is so powerful and musically sound. Their sound can be described as cosmic or balearic disco. This is the way forward in the electronic dance with the heavy, noisy, distorted beats becoming increasingly stale and repetitive. The second aspect which stood out to me was there live set. I was quite keen to catch these guys at Parklife and as equally excited to see what they'd play. The beauty of the music they play which obviously includes their own stuff is that although it may sound quite slow and subtle for dance music on your laptop speakers when heard in a club on a decent system and 10-20 bpm faster it suddenly turns into a very danceable vibe.

Now, for those of you who have somehow missed Aeroplane's Mix Charts over the last six months you are in for a royal treat. Back in August last year the boys released their first mix on Soundcloud. What these mixes aim to achieve is to showcase 10 songs each month that are new and obviously appeal to them. Through simple and long mixes these monthly mix charts do a fantastic job and showing new and well crafted tunes that fit into the Aeroplane style of music.

So here is the most recent mix in the collection. It's nothing short of amazing like the rest of them so enjoy.

Jacked

Last night I got to catch the Jacked Crew going around Oz at the moment, the two dutchies and the yank.... (We Cant Be Stopped). Saw them at family in Brisbane, which is a weapon of a club. Highly suggest a checkout, if in the area. Sound, lights and setup was massive.... Hardwell played a very commercial set which I was not expecting, however it seemed to be his role. He definately was not what I was expecting, he reminded me of LBL. The main event was afrojack, he started with Pon da Floor and pretty much played his stuff, including his ghettoblaster. He is a massive man, but turns out to be more than I expected. His Djing is all on the fly, just dropping bombs all over and probably was the most excited man in the place, really liked his mixing. Very much like his radio 1 mix, except more cut up.... he also played the nicest Guetta Memories bootleg or remix, keep an eye out. Familiar faces included Tom Piper and Bobby Burns.

Wolfgang Gartner plays so hard its not funny. He started with his 5th Symph.... but the crowd thinned as he went on.

I will leave you with afrojacks Ghettoblaster....

Mix Monday 36

This week we're back to some local talent. Local as in Sydney and talent as in the creative disco producer D CUP. This mix I heard on Canadian DJ U-Tern's radio show 'One Day Later'. It's a weekly show that the Vancouver based DJ hosts. This particular mix was from the tail end of last year. U-Tern invited D CUP to do a little guest mix. The mix starts off with some older, slower disco tracks and then moves on towards some slightly harder more contemporary stuff keeping it original and fresh. I think it's a great demonstration of how the current disco/nu disco scene is so heavily influenced by tracks made 20/30/40 years ago.
Anyway D CUP himself was kind enough to send me a copy of this so just have a listen and you'll see what I mean.

Mix Monday 35

It's back.

Welcome back to the mix monday series. 2009 saw a vast variety of sets, mixes and compilations brought to you by the Staying Sick team. Each week we will strive to bring you a broad spectrum of what is going on in the electronic world of music from techno to disco, house to electro, hip hop to breaks and everything in between. Most importantly, we will provide what we think is a cut above the rest, not just the latest and greatest but rather a selection of artists big and small, old and new and from all spectrums of the electronic realm that have created something different, special and worthwhile.

So to start off the year, or the decade for that matter I've chosen some big guns. This week we've got the two British lads Simian Mobile Disco and their Essential Mix. I figured if it was good enough for Pete Tong it's good enough for Staying Sick. It's quite a hard techno based mixed. The boys state that this is the direction they plan to take musically in 2010. So with out further delay, here it is...

People Get Real

PEOPLE GET REAL is the joint name for the DJ/production duo of Simon Lister and Peter Wilson. They hail from Newcastle, keen to write about these guys as their reviews and write ups seem to good to be true. They are residents at a night called Wax:On which is across various venues across the U.K. As a way of capturing the first 5-years as Wax:On residents, PEOPLE GET REAL were commissioned to put together a special CD to showcase a snapshot of their sets. Wax:On compilation series No1. comprises of two CDs compiled and mixed by Fake Blood and PEOPLE GET REAL which delves into the Wax:On warmup sound.

PEOPLE GET REAL are talked about by many:
"Resident DJ's are the backbone of any great club. Wax:On's PEOPLE GET REAL are just that and more. They understand how a club works, how to build a night, and know their music enough to shame many of the big hitters.”
Erol Alkan

The compilation is available on itunes and beatport, amongst others. However we love surprises too.....


Finally, all the remix's of this beast are readily available through certain enterprises. So here is another mix thats been up in the top play count for me. In spirit of the PEOPLE GET REAL continuous mix. A little tech house gem. Your probably thinking you already have it but you probably have Dj Pierre's acid reflux.

Simian Mobile Disco-Cruel Intentions(DJ Pierre Remix).mp3

Field Day Wrap

Sebastian leger

The Frenchman looked like he was still partying from the night before. He played one of his classic sets, really getting into that gypsy sound... At 2.30pm it was a good setting for his tunes.

Riton

Interesting choice of songs, all his tunes were chosen in threes and in the same key so his could quickly mash them. A couple of mistakes, but the main mistake caused by a Miami Horror bass player tuning his guitar over the top of the Riton s tune. Riton was so confused with what the hell the sound was until he realised. Played all the latest fat bass tunes, from Afrojack to Wolfgang Gartner.

Proxy

Only saw the start and got as far as Moby- I Love To Move In Here (Proxy Remix) which sounded sick. The crowd looked like they liked the sound. I heard Indian Film which I was happy about.

Dj Yoda

One of the reasons why I went... Very sick. Every 30 seconds he had a new snare or most of the time a whole new song in. Everything from Country Music to Hip Hop. Just one massive flow of tunes everyone knew.

Jack Beats

The crowd was seriously keen on these two. Jack Beats showed them their new aged fidget electro and the crowd responded. When Warp came on, the crowd thought they were in the Warp video.

Skream and Benga

Good intro, everyone knew what they were, but I thought it was good that Benga sort of MC'd at the beginning and warmed the crowd. Dubstep intro to Sydney was heavy, cool to see.

Fake Blood
Very Heavy set, after he finished so many people were mentioning their new favourite Dj is Fake Blood. If anyone is familiar with Fake Blood s new compilation ' Wax On Compilation Series', Vol.1 (Mixed By Fake Blood & People Get Real) then his Field Day Set reminded me of this compilation, a lot of tracks were played from here.

2manydjs Live
With a majestic Light show and Audio visual Component the guys played a standard 2manydjs Set, I think. Ticked all commercial boxes and hit a few deep sounds like desynchronised and Jack is Back, also the guys had just flown in from Melbourne. Within 20 minutes of their set Stef had already walked off the stage to sort out a sound problem, he loves to have perfect sound.
