Depeche Mode – Lillian (NT89 Remix) (zshare)
I then stumbled upon Hey Champ DJs’ Retrosexual and Electrosexual mixes that they released sometime this time last year. I fell in love with one of their original tracks, “Sugar Daddy” which has this old school French Touch sound, something that Le Knight Club would produce. Great use of samples and filters.

Hey Champ DJs – Sugar Daddy
Here is another track by the band that has that Midnight Juggernauts synth feel but with a Depeche Mode/Duran Duran pop touch.

Hey Champ – Face Control
For all you Torontonians, this Thursday October 23, 2 Many DJ’s, Tiga, The Cool Kids, VNDLSM, Mario J and Nasty Nav will be killing it at the Toronto Island Airport as part of Fido’s Jet Session, a pretty crazy venue for a FREE show. Just text JET to 10987 and you are into the show.
Unfortunately I am stuck in Uhmericuh and will not be attending (But I will be seeing Soulwax/2 Many DJ’s and Late of the Pier on Fri in NYC). So everyone go for me and spread the Asian Dan love.
Here is a radio rip of Tiga’s latest track “The Future Mindimension” . This sounds so 90s UK Rave everything from the 303 basslines, 808 and 909 drum samples and the ridiculous vocal sample. I love it and am excited for his album.

Asian Dan Interview: Neon Coyote
1. Who is Neon Coyote?
Will: John, Noel aka Chico Love, and I. Three dudes born and raised on
the east coast. We started making music together last year, just for
shits and giggles.
2. What are your top 3 songs that make you dance?
Will: Fred Falke – 8:08 pm at the beach. Daft Punk – High Life. John
Dahlback- July First.
John: Surkin – White Knight Two, Daft Punk – One More Time, Congorock – Exodus
Chico – Louis La Roché – On The Floor, Best Fwends –
M.Y.S.E.L.F.(XXXchange Remix), Mylo – Otto’s Journey
3. What is your favorite remix ever?
Will:I have no idea where to begin thinking about a solid answer. My
favorite remixes right now are Bloody Beetroots vs. Wu Tang, Aeroplane
vs. Cut Copy, Fred Falke and Lifelike vs. anything, Fake Blood vs.
anything, Danger vs. SymbolOne, Anoraak Vs. College, and Shinichi
Osawa kills it.
John: Radiohead – Nude (HIPSTER RUNOFF Remix)
Chico – The Treaure Fingers remix of Snowden’s Anti-Anti was the
first remix I heard from this genre of music. I loved it then and I
could still listen to it now and have a good time.
4. What is your production style? What equipment do you use?
Will: Start with an idea, then try to make that kinda, and usually end
up with something completely different. Then figure out what I want to
do with the instrumental or whatever else I made. I use ableton,
logic, and a touch of micro korg.
John: Get stoned. I usually just roll it up in papers.
5. What is your DJ philosophy?
Will:Have fun and don’t take shit too seriously.
John: Make others dance as you would like to be made dance.
Chico: The Cool Kids said it best… Just keep them off the walls.
6. What are you listening to lately? What is the next big thing? What do
you think of the current electronic music scene?
Will:The heavy hitters on my shuffle are John Dahlback, Fred Falke,
Lifelike, Pacific!, Aeroplane, and Kopia as always. On that note I
think the next big things are Donovan, Damage, and The Franchising. As
for the music scene, S’all good as long as I keep getting sweet songs
to listen to all day.
John: I got that Machine’s Don’t Care 12 minute mix on repeat, they’re
definitely the next ‘big thing’. The current music scene is pretty
huge right now. There’s way too much shit, but there’s also way too
much good shit.
Chico: Lately I’ve been listening to a lot of rap, your Biggie’s,
Snoop, Outkast, Weezy, Clipse, Cool Kids, Juelz. But when I’m not
listening to rap it has to be Fake Blood or whatever I just
downloaded. The current electronic music scene is sounding real good
to me and the fact that the internet has a lot to do with it is cool.
The next big thing will be Damage, so good!
7. Future plans for Neon Coyote?
Will: We are doing a remix for Prairie Cartel’s single “Cracktown”. Then we are playing Whartscape in Baltimore on the 20th of this month and in August we are doing the Brooklyn Electronic Music Festival. Other than that we’re just gonna keep pluggin away and try to get some kind of a tour together.
John: Plus some side projects.

Asian Dan Interviews: Jean Nipon
1. Who is Jean Nipon? What is your background? What is it like to be part of the Institubes family?
I’m a DJ, producer, and omelette eater.
I used to be drummer for some straight edge bands, then more emo or noise.
Institubes is such a great team, cuz we’re all different but we share the same love for ghetto music and shitty F.M. music. Its like: we do mainstream music but for specific people 🙂
2. What are your influences, musical or otherwise?
My main influence is girls, how you get them and how they throw you away. Then its a mix between Descendents, Technotronic, Don Caballerro, Prince, Johnnie to, Minor threat, Knut Hamsun, Saul Steinberg, Céline, KRS one, Tyree Cooper and some Joe Walsh. The best if you want to do some house music its to listen the complete opposite; like this you have more chance to create something original.
3. What is your DJ philosophy? Your production style?
When I play I always try to avoid playing the obvious stuff. The challenge is to entertain the crowd with some obscure gems. Like an old piano house track or maybe throw some 70’s hard rock. Anyway if the girls keep jumpin’ its all good. So whatever I play I must please the ladies. When I produce I think “Can I play this tune without thinking” so its often a matter of reduction. Less hi hat, less synth, less breaks. Tryin’ to obtain the core of a good dance track. It never come easy.
4. What are your top 5 songs that make you want to dance?
Oh boy! Ok so for this moment it would be:
1-Gemini- Stand Up
2-Prince – Pop Life
3-Jess and Crabbe- In Your Ear
4-James Gang – Walk Away
5-Beatles- Twist and fuckin’ Shout
5. What are you listening to right now that you can’t get enough of? What is the next big thing?
Well right now I don’t know . Everyday I discover some old electro disco jams with some crazy sounds into, so I’m not excited about a lot of new things; but wait oh yeah I’m into hardhouse again !! Dudes like DJ Trajic or Less Furious CZR. For me this music from the past is still the next future. Now the glam electro pop and guitar stuff are on the top, but I think the answer will come from the ghetto music.
6. Future plans?
Next will be the “Eurogirls go Baltimore” Vol. 2 with DJ Orgasmic and many guests? It will be hugely stoopid? And on September my ep “Wild at Heart” on Institubes.
