It's the Supersound

Dutchman FEDDE LE GRAND shouldn’t need an introduction, afterall he released “Put Your Hands Up For Detroit,” one of my all time favourite tunes. Since that single dropped, his profile has been growing bigger and bigger and well, bigger.

I was pretty excited to see his latest appear in the inbox but had a huge amount of skepticism with BENNY BENASSI attached to it. Let’s just say NICKY ROMERO‘s remix, full of it’s 21st Century tribal-like drums makes up for everything.

Kelis has definitely dived headfirst into this mirror ball-tinged reinvention hasn’t she? With her own album, the acid-synth infused, Flesh Tone, finally seeing the official light of day just a couple of weeks ago and the deluge of impending remixes to follow you would think she had enough on her plate. Yet Kelis returns, albeit as a “featured vocalist”, for Benny Benassi’s new single, “Spaceship”, the debut track off his forthcoming album, due out this fall.

But this post isn’t really about Kelis, or Benny for that matter, it’s about Kris Menace. Namely, Kris’s distinct role in turning yet another Dave Guetta-esque thump-thump-bleep track into a shimmering, glossy, night under the swirling stars remix. And the dub version…well it’s even better. Kris wisely does away with Jean-Baptiste’s wannabe will.i.am rapping and also, boldly, strips Kelis’s vocals away leaving only a peppering of “yeah” and “get high”, transforming a grounded, stillborn, facsimile into something truly futuristic and worthy of the name “Spaceship”. I could picture Kelis walking down silver hallways, gazing out some glowing porthole at a far-off galaxy and uttering a very succinct, very deserved, “Yeah”.

This Saturday in San Francisco, I'll be headlining the dubstep brostep room upstairs from our good friends Pance Party and local DJ hero Sleazemore for the kickoff of a new monthly party called BPM. With a lineup like this, attendance is a no brainer. Be sure to check out the facebook event for more details.

This week saw the release of Pance Party's remix of Benny Benassi's new single; check it out below in addition to their remix of Paris' SomethingALaMode.

• SomethingALaMode - 5AM (Pance Party Remix)

¡BONUS!

Pance Party will be releasing the followup to their "Kim Jong Thrill" EP on June 9, entitled "Let's Get Invisible". They've uploaded teasers of two of the tracks to YouTube; Promo 1 will get your face dripping before Promo 2 melts the rest of it away, Care Bears-style.

Two thousand and ten. Otherwise known as the year of Kelis. No really…it is. This time, however, she’s joined up with Italian DJ extraordinaire, Benny Benassi, to provide the vocals on his upcoming single, Spaceship. Let’s get corny and just say it: this track is out of this world. Yep. Went there.

  

  

While we know that Benassi will release a new album this year, there is still no definiteive talk of an actual released date, album title or track list. What we do know, however, is that the first single will be Spaceship and features Kelis, Apl.de.ap and Jean Baptiste.

 

The BBC’s Pete Tong debuted the track this weekend and we know that a music video for the song has already been shot. 

 

Oh, and we know that this slice of radness is totally rocking our bodies.
