Hot Toddy

Hot Toddy is the guise of Nottingham-based musician Chris Todd, the guitarist and one half of Crazy P! His eclectic sound is a technicolour fusion of house, techno, acid, psychedelia and soulful 70’s disco. “I Need Love” featuring Ron Basejam is without a doubt one of the biggest tracks on the new “Cosmic Balearic Beats Vol. 2″ compilation and the 3rd single Eskimo have lifted off it. Next to the amazing original, you get a killer remix from the mighty Morgan Geist of Metro Area fame. Definitely a release you cannot miss out on!
Stream: Hot Toddy feat. Ron Basejam – “I Need Love” [Morgan Geist's Love dub]
Hot Toddy’s “I Need Love” is out now on Eskimo Recordings. Buy here.

Die Sterne vs. Munk



H Γερμανική Gomma Records του Munk (φώναξε με Mathias Modica) τρέχει με χίλια και τελευταία δεν αφήνει κανέναν αδιάφορο (δες φωτό 3). Τράβηξε μέχρι και την προσοχή των Die Sterne (δες φωτό 1), μιας φημισμένης Γερμανικής pop μπάντας των 90s, που ζήτησε από τον Mathias να κάνει παραγωγή στα νέα της τραγούδια. Έτσι κι έγινε. Το αποτέλεσμα αποτυπώνεται στα 3 κομμάτια του “Der Riss” EP που ήδη κάνει θραύση στην Γερμανία και αν εθιστείς (που θα εθιστείς – δες φωτό 2) θα αρχίσεις αμέσως μαθήματα Γερμανικών ή επιτέλους θα τα ολοκληρώσεις. Εμείς πάθαμε πλάκα με τις instumental εκδοχές των κομματιών που έχουν λιώσει στα ηχεία μας. Aρκετά, πάω να βάλω λιποζάν ή μήπως έληξε;
Die Sterne vs. Munk – “Deine Pläne” [Instrumental Mix]

Τest Drive: Αν δεν σου κάνει κόπο τσέκαρε το νέο video του “Deine Pläne” και βρες τις διαφορές με το “Pass This On” των The Knife. Βρήκες κάτι;

Richard X Saint Etienne

Disco dynamo Richard X has taken Saint Etienne’s “Foxbase Alpha” and re-arranged it into a brand new beast called FOXBASE BETA. Using the original masters, adding cellos, electrix, choirs, and the spirit of Brian Cant he has created something really special – spruced-up yet reverential, it is essentially a 2009 up-date of Foxbase Alpha, given a shot of vodka and a loving caress.
