Some New DJ Barletta Tracks

DJ Barletta just released some new remixes which I'm digging quite a bit only after a few minutes. The first remix is one Barletta did of Blink 182's hit "Shut Up," which sounds like he was going for a different sound than he usually has. The second, a remix of "Boom Boom Boom" by The Outhere Brothers. Last but not least is a remix of a New York Hip Hop group by the name of Das Racist, this is probably my favorite among all of these new remixes. Definitely check out these remixes and if your in Los Angeles this Wednesday for Thanksgiving be sure to check out Hard Turkey Soup featuring Don Rimini, Guns N Bombs, Aaron Lacrate, Marshall Barnes, Destructo and my friend and my duo Good N' Plenty @ The Roxy.

Galactic Boys!

Galactic Boys of the Galaxy of Germany hit is up with some tracks the other day, and I thought I'd share them with you guys. Pretty cool electro/synth-pop stuff. I also wanted to share with you a fun little quote from their myspace to help describe them more.
"In 2086 two peaceful aliens journied to Earth, seeking our help. In return, they gave us the plans for our first hyperdrive, allowing mankind to open the doors to the stars.... We have assembled a team of four unique individuals to protect Earth and our allies, courageous pioneers committed to the highest ideals of justice and dedicated to preserving law and order across the new frontier. These are the adventures of the Galactic Boys!"
So there. Here's some tracks.

The extraordinary Binary crew recently sent over some of their latest work. This e-mail focused on members Fabian and NightWaves. Both make excellent music with very nice synth work. I'm especially diggin' Fabians latest original. Great track that keeps fans of dirty electro happy while keeping fans of poppy-synthy electro happy too. The entire Binary crew is great, and their stirring up big things.

Jean Nipon Interview

Hey, thanks again for the interview, how old were you when you started making music and what were the reasons?
13-
i loved the pink floyd
so i decided to become a drummer
What kind of music did you grow up listening to?
some commercial pop, then rock, then prince,then hip hop, then hardcore, then some experimental noise bands
What is it like being a member of Institubes and how did you get involved with them?
i did the second 12" just after the first of para one, with my previous band teamtendo, i know the boys since 2002 institubes is a family at war with the rest of the world, but we have also some love for a few , so its all good at least
When you make a track where do you usually start?
with the vocals, even if at the end ther's no vocals anymore. the voice is the skeleton of the track.
How did you transition over from being a full time Dj to producing as well?
by force, was bored to play other dudes 's music. wanna listen something i really wanna play. but before being a dj i was a musician. so it's always mixed, production or djaying. and every track i play i re-edit it before i spin it.
How would you describe your music?
pain in the ass music, but my goal is to make some real CRYDANCE music, a foggy concept
What do you use to make your tracks, and what do you use to DJ?
cubase, reason, and for djaying it s CDJ pioneer
I notice that you are a very eclectic Dj, do you usually know what to play in your set based on the reaction of your first couple songs or do you play off whichever mood your in?
i'm slave to my mood, i dont care where or when i got to play, i just play what i feel is right at the moment, i will not play super hits just because a girl asked me some. we dont care about which track we put on, the most important is the ambiance of the party; so i never know what i'm going to play.
Do you have any tracks that you love to play and know will really get the crowd going?
well everything with a fat kick or a fat bassline will do the job. people are just animals responding to some stimuli. at one point they're all drunk, so you can play anything loud they'll go " yeaaaaaaaah kiicck it "
The Lost In Music video looks like it pays homage to some great rap videos. Does rap and hip hop influence you musically or was that simply an awesome creative video? What are some of your other influences.
the point was to collide 2 universe. an average white geek loving black metal and playing with a sword vs r'n'b nastyness.the result is something completely stoopid, and i'm down with this, the r'n'b production style always keep me fascinate, its so much the music of the future
What are some of your favorite tracks at the moment?
"violator" by white williams, this guy is a genius
and the new track from joakim ( parisian dude from tigersushi rec) is amazing.
at the moment i'm so much into hardhouse, the old american one.
Are their any up and coming artists that you want to recommend?
the new dudes on institubes, "chateau marmont", "poney poney", "ROB" etc. they're more like pop bands, but pop is the supreme master of the world.
What's next for you?
doing eurogirls go baltimore vol 2 with orgasmic
hyper excited !
and run my club in paris called "le régine"
Are their any tours coming up?
maybe in march in USA
Will you be making an appearance in the next installment of One More Song?
we'll see
Thanks a lot, any last words?
we all gonna die, its fun
Here is the track 4WD from Jean Nipon's new ep, "Wild at Heart." If you like this track be sure to purchase the rest of it:

Trumpdisco

Really really feeling this "Suspense Is Killing Me" remix. Probably my favorite thing I've heard from them.
And an original... well sorta. They call it an original, and I probably would too, but there's certainly heavy use of another song in their. Extra points for anyone who knows the song they used (don't worry it's not too tough).
Bonus:
Ocelot Is Not Human
He simply cant be human. Well fine, if Ocelot is a human he's a damn talented one. Everything he does is simply amazing. His latest remix is no different. No doubt it is slightly commercial sounding, but when doing an official remix for a hugely successful, fairly commercial band I think it must be hard not to cave in a little and give the label what it wants. That is however beside the point. The remix is great. The robo-vocals work great and I get the feeling this one is going to be on repeat here for a while.

What's In Our Inbox?

Dishevelled Youth sent over his funky original "EVO" a little while ago, and it's a pretty cool track. No idea what EVO stands for. Let you guys ponder that one.
RiskoDisko are a name I would watch out for. They sent over some of their tracks, and they're just the type of thing everyone's looking for these days. Nice electro sound.
If you've been running out of that nice Bloc Party like indy/electro/rock lately I think I just might have the thing for you. Beautiful Balloon know how to make good fun indy-rock. Go check out their myspace, and pick up their entire "Lead By Example" EP for free.
It seems their is no one better to remix in the year 2008 than Cut Copy. The list of great remixes of their tracks is ridiculous. Now we can go ahead and add Hundreds and Thousands "Far Away" remix to that list.
After many exchanged e-mails I was finally able to give Gejius' music a listen. Really good stuff. It's got a very interesting sound that seems to pull me in. Even more interesting is hearing that sound backing vocals from Mariah Carey.
And even more Australian talent here for you with Smacktown. Another artist with a very interesting sound. Nice blend of electro and rap. Wanted to post their stuff cause it's got a very cool vibe to it, and I gotta give 'em props for remixing one of my all time favorite tracks.

DJ Barletta Interview

Hey my name is Jake and I just want to thank you for doing this interview with Fancy Sounds, how old were you when you started making music and what was the reason?
I first started making music in middle school. I was in a few rock bands, playing the guitar, drums, stuff like that. As far as electronic music is concerned i started in production about a year and a half ago. The shift from live to digital music was the result of me moving from living with my parents in an open house, to living in a condo, which prevented me from rocking out on the guitar/drums.
How did you come up with the name Dj Barletta?
It was actually a joke at first, taken from my favourite skater in High School "Louie Barletta". The myspace was purely an outlet for terrible mash ups i would do when i first started out, and i guess it just stuck!?
When you make a remix where do you usually start?
I look for a certain sound, hook, or vocal i can exploit or cut up. The song necesarrily doesnt have to be a dancefloor banger to be remixed properly, it just needs to have a catchy element that can be used to create something dope!
What do you use to make your music?
I use ableton live!
From a DJ standpoint do you intuitively know what songs to play to certain crowds based on the first song you play or does it take you time to really know what that crowd wants to hear?
I always try and start my sets off with super high energy songs, and do initially have a set planned out for my timeslot, but ususally after half an hour i abandon it and just play off the crowds reactions. i think thats the best way.
What is the electronic music scene like in Toronto, I know MSTRKRFT is from their, any Toronto based artists to look out for?
Yes! The scene in toronto is thriving with tons of talent. Thunderheist , Auto Erotique (formerly VND/LSM), Syntonics, Sta, Tmdp , Golden Girls, The 84.85 to name a few.
How did your group Mansion with Van Helder come about?
I met Violca at a party in the middle of the summer, and i gave her a demo cd of my remixes. She went on a tour across Canada shortly after and when she came back we made our first track "Stab" together.
Are you going to continue to remix and release singles yourself or are you fully focused on Mansion?
Both. We are always working on Mansion Tracks, and I am going to be releasing an E.P for my new (Barletta) single "Bass Live," which is going to include 6 remixes from all toronto talent.
A lot of people compare you to Crookers, Are they one of your influnces? and who are some of your other influnces?
Definetly. I love a lot of like UK fidget house that has somewhat of UK Garage influence. Guys like Kelevra and Heavyfeet i am super in to.
What are your top five favorite tracks at the moment?
No Order
Rye Rye - Hardcore Girls (Heavyfeet Remix)
Auto Erotique - Gladiator
TMDP - Running
In The Club - Turn U On (Mowgli Remix)
Roland Clark & The Montanas - Music Talking (Fred Falke Rmx)
Are their any tours coming up?
As of right now no, but we are definetly looking to that direction come the new year.
Alright thanks a lot, any last words?

Weekly Kanye Post
We're not really having a weekly Kanye post, but it's crazy how much he has ended up on this blog lately. This time I thought I'd show you guys his latest video. Took it straight from his blog. I really love that kind of animation. Also at his blog are two new masters of "Love Lockdown" and "Heartless" that he is asking all DJ's to download/play rather than the old versions.
And why you love us...

More Breakbot

Yet another Breakbot remix for you guys. He's putting out remixes like a mad man. We just got a hold of his latest remix, which is of Sebastien Tellier's Roche. The remix is great and definitely compares to the recently released remix Kavinsky did of it. It's really interesting too hear a mix of Breakbot's sound with Sebastien Tellier's.

Trash Yourself. Love This.
First thing I ever heard from Trash Yourself was there Song 2 cover/remix done with The Toxic Avenger, which was one of my favorite electronic songs for at least a year or so. After that The Toxic Avenger became a huge success in the electronic music world, and if you're reading this blog, chances are you have heard of him. Unfortunately the other end of the stick, Trash Yourself, has been a little harder to follow. They've only released a handful of singles/remixes but they're all great. Just got in their latest original and it fully stands up to what I had hoped for. Cool vocal sampling/usage with a pounding rough electronic beat behind it. Great stuff.
