Philadelphia vagina rockers stab the American airwaves in the balls with their shit hot music

So tomorrow is yet another public holiday and I hope everyone enjoys as much sunshine as possible before the cold properly starts settling in.

The top rankin' crew at Mad Decent just might have the perfect soundtrack for you too - a whole remix album by Toy Selectah that Bersa Discos and them are giving away for FREE!



Now, if you don't know anything about Mad Decent, they represent in more ways than one, bringing you various releases from the likes of Boy 8-bit, Diplo, Crookers, DJ Blaqstarr and even some remixes of Of Montreal; and more recently, the sooper surf-riffing reggaeton vibes of Major Lazer's (Diplo & Switch) "Hold The Line" featuring Santigold and Mr. Lexx!

I'll be sure to drop at least one of these tracks in my set at the second !DIRTY!DIRTY! party (check out the first one dropping in 2 weeks hosted by b'day boi Spoek and co. here)

Toy Selectah has put something together that could easily have been conceived by Spoek if he got together with Manu Chao or (more likely) El Guincho and took a tropical Yacht Rock nu-rave coast to coast (from Rio to Madrid via Afrika, docking for two last dates in Miami and California).

Here on MexMore, besides the Justice and Boys Noize remixes, we have Devendra Banhart getting primed for the discoteca, Chromeo strutting their fancy footwork at parties in Cuba and Brazil; Argentinians Illya Kuriaki are suddenly dubbed an old-school disco Panico-esque Juan Maclean; while Air's "Sexy Boy" and Kissy Sell Out's Human League mash-up gets kuduro inspired dance-punk/rave-up treatments. Toy Selectah doesn't stop there though, giving Santigold a not too Shaggy cumbia reggaeton remix... and there's even some really smooth music with his production of The Outfield!

So make the tackiest tiki-bar setup you can muster, break out some Piña coladas, line this baby up - and remember to keep the fire:

Let's set sail!



"Get your dick out of your heart (do you even know what the kids on the street are listening to? Disco, motherfucker!") and download the complete Yacht Rock series here! It will fit nicely on your iPod and make it infinitely more smooothe.

Cosmic Disco Hero Makes Some Noize

Boredoms are a Japanes noise /avant-garde rock band who've been around since around 1986. They've collaborated with everyone from John Zorn to members of Sonic Youth and have influenced pretty much everyone from Oneida to Deerhoof, even South African  noizemakers The Sticky Antlers.

Their latest, Super Roots Volume 10, is comprised of 6 new tracks, 4 of which are remixes of “Ant 10”. The vinyl has been long sold out now and it's
proven rather difficult to find...



Lindstrøm's version is a cosmic workout that sounds something like if Stevie Wonder was pulled into a guest appearance against his shrooming will at a disco in Nigeria in the 70ies and "Superstition" turned into an epic jam with some added Moogs to his disposal.

(I've had this for a while now, since its release in fact, but after I found that gif out of a scene from an Asian movie I'm busy tracking down, it somehow reminded me and I couldn't resist doing this post.)

And in case you missed out, Lindstrøm's album Where You Go I Go Too is a mammoth of a disco masterpiece and one of my favourite releases of last year! I highly recommend tracking it down.

Bonus:

He also has a more recent album out - II - another collaboration with psychedelic partner and friend Prins Thomas (also a favourite producer of mine).

Balearic beach bliss, lost in translation...
