Pick Up the Phone

21-Oct-09

I love the new Dragonette album. I’ve had it on repeat the past few days — my favorite track off the album has to be “Pick Up the Phone” with “Easy” being a close second.

I really needed a better mix of “Pick Up the Phone” to play at the clubs, however. Here’s my best attempt at one, fully unsanctioned and bootleg because that’s how I roll.

Pick Up the Phone (DJ Matt Hite Remix) / Dragonette
D Major, 124 bpm

If you like it, spread the word. Tweets (I’m @matthite on Twitter) and comments appreciated! Also, if you have a Hype Machine account, I would certainly appreciate you ‘hearting’ the track — here’s the direct Hype Machine link.

Funky Cold Medina/Wild Thing: Same Song?

12-Aug-09

This is what happens when you lay “Funky Cold Medina” and “Wild Thing” on top of each other in a DAW. Why reinvent the wheel, right?

The Homewrecker is quite possibly the strangest music-related weekend project I’ve ever seen.

The History of House Music

02-Jun-09

“Pump Up the Volume: The History of House Music” is a film that “follows the evolution of house music from its birth in Chicago to the myriad of diverse music it has since spawned.” It’s absolutely fantastic and ironically impossible to purchase a legitimate copy from what I can tell! It was originally broadcast on BBC Channel 4 and has not made it to DVD for a proper release, unfortunately.

Thanks to the wonders of technology, a very kind soul has made it available for viewing on YouTube. Check out the videos after the jump.

Little Secrets

24-May-09

Last month, Passion Pit announced a remix contest for the track “Little Secrets” from their recently released (5/19/2009) album Manners. The interesting — but also irritating — thing about the remix contest is that they don’t actually give you all the parts. In fact, when you sign up for the contest, you are given one single random sample. You are then supposed to go and swap samples with other remixers. I don’t mean to sound like a jerk, but really, who has time for a freakin’ scavenger hunt?

The contest is over, but I did manage to track down someone who has posted up all the parts for download. If you’re a Passion Pit fan and potential remixer, download and rejoice!

Kick Drum

My friends over at Nettwerk tell me that Felix da Housecat’s new album “He Was King’ is due out 7/28/09. Here’s a sneak peak of the first single, “Kick Drum.” It’s dope electro-goodness — I’m definitely dropping it into my set tonight.

Electro-Bootie Time!
