Rufus have come out with a club effort of New Navy’s summer hit “Zimbabwe”.
Both bands rummage around Sydney so it makes sense for the tropi-cool elements yet slight club edge they’ve thrown down. It’s got the build and that awfully fun guitar break-down and whistles that the original shines on.
Need a room warmer or a euph-ro touchdown, this is it!
A total forgotten classic New Wave/Post-Punk-Pop club gem. Wide Boy Awake was Kevin Mooney, bassist for Adam and the Ants on his iconic ‘Kings of the Wild Frontier’ album. They only released a few EP’s and 12″s but never an album before dissolving.
Slang Teacher was the B-Side to the cheeseball track ‘Chicken Outlaw’ and god only knows why they didnt just stick to this style.
Next to impossible to find in a digital format, the other Wide Boy Awake track that I could never tire of is ‘Billy Hyena’, released in 1984 and still sounds completely fresh.
Wide Boy Awake need to be known by everyone.
How legendary is the Legendary Long Weekend series?
Well, Vancouver promotion crew Intimate Productions have been throwing the first rate bashes for 8 years. And while they usually try to showcase local Vancouver DJs and artists, they’re occasionally tempted with truly international acts they can’t refuse.

This Thursday, Nov.10th the party is LAST CALL FOR 2011 and is hosted at the spectacular Waldorf Hotel which is easily the best venue I’ve been too since moving here in July. It allows for 4 separate rooms with different vibes in each. Here’s rundown of what each room with be offering this Thurday:

TIKI BAR (Whatever / Mash-Up) NEON STEVE • ABASI vs. Glyn • VINNIE THE SQUID

Here’s one special club version for you. The remix of Beyonce’s ‘Countdown’ by Jack Beats is a major one but it needed a little Top Billin touch with some island horns, drums and whatnot. Here then is the party version from Finland’s TOP BILLIN.
