Children + Boney M = 100% Italodisco Banger?!!!

(Click for Video)

What happens when you unleash Boney M on a bunch of cute kids?

Pure Electro Magic.

I recently picked up a CD of Italodisco hits in the bargain bin section of the internet and my favorite song by far is “Happy Song” by Baby’s Gang. This song was a number one hit in Europe twice! The first time in 1983 for Baby’s Gang in their native Italy, the second time as a cover by Boney M the following year.

Information on Baby’s Gang is scant on the internet, sources say they were on Memory Records, a minorly succesful Italo-disco label. But if Italodisco means nothing to you, think of Baby’s Gang as:

(Justice’s D.A.N.C.E. – Michael Jackson) x (Outrunners + Kavinsky + Muscles)

Which should equal EPIC in anyone’s book.

A truly happy song for the weekend.

Here is the “Extended Dancefloor Version” in 320 for you DJ’s/mp3 hustlers, I guarantee it will bring the heat at your local party.

Few of you know that St. Juice is a ham radio enthusiast, you’ll be even more amazed to find out that last weekend, extreme sunspot activity allowed the Juice to communicate instantaneously with an adolescent boy living in 1983 called Johnny Moroser.

When asked by St. Juice what kind of music he listened to, Moroser simply put his Polysix up to the microphone and played the bassline that would drive “Cruising for Girls By the Neon Cactus”.

My Pleasure, Miss! bring you the completed version, a sound that is as sexy as it is violent.

The Party Ends/Mayowa + SX70

“The party ended in 2003.”,

She said, with all her fingers pressed to her temples.

Even in this disheveled state, she still looked beautiful in the half morning light. I knew it would be the last time our shadows would dance together.

‘Seven Deadly Wins’ Mixtape Series: More Envy

I blended some of my favorite new sounds into a mixtape for your pleasure. Its pretty heavy on the indie sweetness and like Volume One is efficient and beautiful, seven enviably gorgeous tracks in less than fifteen minutes – Perfect for trips to the store, walks around the block, getting dressed to etc.

Drums Please!

Volume 2 starts with the minor key, pop-twee stylings of The Pains of Being Pure At Heart, who try to shake something loose from your heart and hips before handing the baton to Los Campesinos!.  Los Campesinos! are all class! Perfect synth melodies layered over guitars, layered over glockenspiel, layered over witty, passionate lyrics and sick beats. Whitest Boy Alive takes over with one of the best tracks off their recent release, “Gravity”;  their laid-back soulfulness folds into into the complex, rhythmic sounds of Emilíana Torrini’s “Dead Duck” off her excellent 2008 release, “Me and Armini”. The Hoosiers then inject some beautiful, stirring melodies into the mix before melting into a surprising remix of Cazals‘ hit, “To Cut the Long Story Short”; A tight orchestral arrangement with lush strings, wind instruments and delicate harps.

What are you waiting for?

Tracklist:

Mixtape Monday: St. Juice Round One (Sexclusive)

St Juice Round 1, some shitty tracks I made over the last year or so…

And by shitty, I mean EPIC, of course!

At least when I’m referring to the St Juice Parts, there are a few donations from MeMinor, Mayowa and SynWav, who are completely different entities from the ‘Juice and not nearly as awesome.

Anyway, 4 Tracks, 4 tracks are all I need…

Spazzy 808 Claps will introduce you to Sexual Chocolate, the kind that melts in your mouth, not in your hands ;) .

Arpeggiate, instigate and copulate on the dancefloor with Rapostle Hustle.

You can’t get the sax from Orni4 out of your head? Well, maybe the talking drums, congas and huge analog synth in the chorus will rattle something loose!!!

You’ll wanna turn Trials way up, you’ve never heard one boy, one guitar and robot backing band rock so hard.

Get Juiced. (~7 Minutes/ 7mb)

Tracklist:

Sexual Chocolate (Myspace page anthem) – Syn Wav
Rapostle Hustle (rough)– St Juice of DOB infamy
Orni4 – St Juice
Trials (rough instrumental) – Mayowa

p.s. The horns from Orni4 are not stolen from ‘Heartbeat’ by the Pyschedelic Furs, really. Tout’s Honor!

Mixtape Monday 2: Yr Invited!!!

My main man, Bradley D, is supplying the heat for this week with an awesome 2hr+ mix of roller rink jams. To be honest, I haven’t listened to it as it’s a pretty big file, but as soon as I download it, I’ll upload a compressed version for all the cheap whores, like me, who still have dial-up!

If you don’t know Bradley D, you’d better recognize! Head over to his myspace and pledge your allegiance to his beats, then book a flight to NY/LA and get ready to sweat/f*ck/cry/love/dance all night.

Hear Bradley D’s Skate Jam gospel here (in glorious, uncompressed technicolor)

Tracklist coming soon!
