Erol Alkan Presents Disco 3000
Much love to Discodust for sharing this!
Special 80 minute mix of spaced out disco, bubbling synthesis and balearic gems. A tribute to the days of tape edits and letting a single track play for ages…Made on 2 turntables with the aid of a 1970’s Cat Octave synth and Korg Stage Echo.

Erol Alkan: “i’ve put together a 80 minute mix of some disco vibes which are lighting up my stratosphere. i began mixing it up just for my own selfish ipod needs during a day off i had at christmas and only recently got round to finishing due to album commitments. most of the tracks are re-edited in some form or over, and i splashed some moody synth drizzle over some of the beats. i got another hour of this mix sitting about, dunno, i maybe save it for another edition. would love to play club sets more like this, who knows, maybe i will… anyone wanna do a party?”

Erol is a man of music. He does it all from DJing to Producing, he just loves music. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was a piano virtuoso or is going to score a film soon.

August 10 in Toronto, Erol Alkan, Soulwax and A-Trak are spinning as part of the TIME Festival. I am so excited. Soulwax AND Erol Alkan, two groups of men that just love music 🙂

Xavier and Gaspard’s latest looks. Look at that hair and ‘stache. He looks like a 70s Asian Moviestar.
A compilation album from 2003 featuring early Justice tracks surfaced in the blogosphere a few weeks ago and the first ever Justice track “Sure You Will” made its way to the public. Apparently it is a track that Justice is not very proud about and they describe it is a tribute to the Buggles. The French band Poney Poney is also featured on this compilation.Musclorvision – Hits Up To You – Discogs.com
Microloisir is the moniker of Gaspard Auge when he was rolling solo. This is a very interesting track. I wonder if Gaspard is singing.
Mircoloisir – Back in Your Eyes
Once again hats off to Buzz en Direkt for this track.

Yo Gabba Gabba just upped their hipster cred by having Chromeo on their show. Anyone have any info about this collab?Chromeo Myspace

SymbolOne – Love Juice (Danger Remix) Link Removed
Sorry guys apparently this is a myspace rip according to SymbolOne himself, give it a listen at his myspace.
Once again Danger kills it with this remix, he is too good. His remix of We are Scientist has been on repeat on my ipod. Danger made his American debut this past Saturday in NYC with Crookers and is playing tonight in Brooklyn, so if you are in BK hit that up! Take some pics and give me a review!
Cheers, Buzz en Direkt

So this is So Me’s third stab at producing/remixing tracks. I have been impressed with his stuff and am excited to hear what other music he has created. This track is even Erol Alkan approved.
“I can vouch for So Me.. he has been sending me his music for a while now, some of it as work in progress stages.
The middle instrumental section of his Busy P remix is really, really good. Could be a seperate track in itself.”Erol Alkan Forum

This interview is genius. I love how Xavier explains their songwriting process. Sometimes I forget that these guys are pop music geniuses.

Here is a fantastic acoustic version of the Mystery Jets’ latest single “Two Doors Down”. The string section is a great touch, it shows how versatile their songs are as well as them as musicians. Unfortunately this is a rip from a webstream so there are a few computer beeps that interrupt the songs.Mystery Jets Live on BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge

Here is the Mystery Jets cover of the Jesse McCartney written tune, “Bleeding Love” by Leonia Lewis. It is a great arrangement of this hit song.Mystery Jets – Bleeding Love (Leonia Lewis Cover)
