The Dirt #49 : Sweet FA + Troy Kurtz
10 21 2011
What’s good dirty dancers? It’s Friday, and there are few better ways to soundtrack your weekend than with this latest helping of The Dirt! Troy Kurtz & Sweet FA have been hard at work, handpicking a few of their favorite tunes of the moment, so without further ado, we’re happy to present The Dirt #48…
• Casino Times – That’s The Truth (Original Mix)
Beautiful slow-burning house from a duo to watch closely in the coming months. This is a rework of the De La Soul and Chaka Khan track ‘All Good’. Vibes!
• Mercury – Sweetness (Original Mix) √+
Giving the nod to old school house with their combination of electronic piano and soulful vocal stabs, Mercury‘s new Sweetness release is an absolute gem. Can highly recommend the full EP, which also features a stellar remix from Catz N’ Dogz.
• Groove Armada – RJ’s Theme (Original Mix) √+
Progressive tech-house from Groove Armada‘s recent Red Light project. The synth build is pretty much identical to Danny Daze‘s summer smash ‘Fall Away From Love’ which is maybe why I dig it so much.
• Jack Dixon – Clear (Original Mix)
Awesome piece of uptempo house music from Londoner Jack Dixon. The percussion on this track is so crisp. Looking forward to checking out his Knowledge EP which drops next week on Losing Suki.
Eliphino – More Than Me by somethinksounds
Set for release on Halloween via Somethinksounds, Eliphino‘s new track ‘More Than Me’ has been on repeat for the past couple weeks. The versatile London-based producer has already had a release on Gilles Peterson‘s Brownswood imprint, and he’s bound to kick up a great deal more heat with this tune when it finally drops.
• Double 99 – RIP Groove √+
90s UK garage that obliterates a dancefloor. I saw Nic Fanciulli drop this at Sensation London in August and the place went nuts for it.
The new M83 album Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming was officially released earlier this week, and it sits comfortably atop the contenders for album of the year. This track is from one of Anthony Gonzalez’s earlier albums, and might be one of my favorite songs of all time.
• ASAP Rocky – Wassup
NY drug dealer turned man rapper ASAP Rocky is the truth. He’s got a promethazine infused swagger, and it slow-grinds all over this Clams Casino beat (same guy who produced the mesmerizing I’m God.)
• Bombay Bicycle Club – Lights Out Words Gone (Dark Sky Remix)
Dark Sky is back again with an extremely emotional mix of Bombay Bicycle Club. Never one to disappoint, a hypnotically deep groove bounces around crooning vocals. Buy the track here.
• 11:11 – Tourist Trap (Jamie Jones Remix)
If you haven’t heard, the consummate businessman that is one Sean Combs AKA genius has teamed up with Guy Gerber to form the 11:11 project. Even though it sounds a bit kooky, the likes of Jamie Jones, Soul Clap, and Renaissance Man have already been on the remix cartel.
• Solomun & Stimming – See You Everyday
I’ve been slamming this one in a lot of sets lately. I really dig the rain/thunder samples. Well played.
I’ll leave you with some witch†haus to get you in the mood for Halloween. And a birdy told me there is a /// Halloween mix dropping sooner than you can say, “OMG LOOK AT WHAT THAT GIRL IS WEARING I CAN SEE HER EVERYTHING!”

Winnie’s Top Albums Of 2010
12 31 2010
Here are our faves of 2010. IT WAS A GOOD YEAR ya?
Let us know yrs / wut we missed…
20.Crystal Castles “Crystal Castles II”
Still love you Crystie Castles.
19. Four Tet “There is Love Inside You”
Bleep beep herp derp. For what ever reason I always link this album with the Caribou album. They came out around the same time and both artists have both been ahead of their time coming perfectly into fruition in 2010. The prefect blend of lofi organic samples and dance’y beats
18. Javelin “No Mas”
Kinda reminds me of The Avalanches but way less annoying, maybe a dash of early cut copy too and some dj shadow. It makes me feel like im eating cotton candy.
Javelin – Vibrationz
17. How To Dress Well “Love Remains”
“Love Remains” sounds like it was recorded in the middle of the night underneath the bed to not wake sleeping parents upstairs. Faint Whisper’y threads of 90′s rnb-esque hooks over lofi riddims.
How To Dress Well – Mr. By & By
16. Drums (self titled)
Surfy / maybe a little bit of the Cure / the new romantics kinda sound. Drums opened for Surfer Blood at the Bilty and were by far the better act + the lead singers dancing is pretty great.
15. Earl Sweatshirt “EARL”
Free Earl. 16 year old from Cali. His Mom sent him off to boarding school after she heard this.
Earl Sweatshirt – Couch Featuring Ace Creator
14. Diamond Rings “Special Affections”
Epic pop anthems crafted on garage band.
Diamond Rings – Something Else
13. Caribou “Swim”
This album feels like it is tapping into old school house / rave music and makes me want to lose my shit.
Caribou – Odessa
12. Yeasayer “Odd Blood”
This was definately one of the songs of the year and one of those albums people who think about music too much start to hate after a while for being too poppy / accessible.
11. El Guincho “Pop Negro”
Can’t get enough of this Spanish isht. Oh and the music video… thank you for that.
10. Salem “King Night”
Rape Gaze / witch house #prayforjack. Lets get frickin dark.
9 Kanye “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy”
Kanye I forgive you for being a douchebag.
Kanye West – Lost In The World (feat. Bon Iver)
8. Harlem “Hippies”
Thissss
7.Surfer Blood “Astrocoast”
Yeah it’s super poppy and most people are over it because it came out at the start of the year or something. I say it rules. There was a reason it was one of the most anticipated albums of 2009 and it didn’t let down.
6. PS I love You “Meet Me At The Muster Station”
From Kingston Ontario. Stadium sized hooks / rock anthems.
5. Black Keys “Brothers”
There was a reason why Black Keys tickets were being scalped for $200 during their last visit to town and this is it.
4. Twin Shadow “Forget”
This album is pure sex. A little splash of Morissey / The Cure and some serious hits.
Twin Shadow – When Were Dancing
3. Arcade Fire “The Suburbs”
The Arcade Fires killed it this year. Their live show might be one of the best shows ive ever seen. This “concept” album is epic, full of solid hits that flow so seamlessly into one another.
2. LCD Soundsystem “This Is Really Happening”
Murph bro. I love you. Pls do not let this be the last Lcd Album. You never let me down. Yr like a role model and stuff. When ever I played this album out djing pretty much every time some1 would come and ask what it was. Oh and not to nerd out but the mixing on this album is really bold and amazing too. It pretty much deserves it’s own award. The way that synth comes in on “Dance YrSelf Clean” a minute and a half in or whatever it is. omigowd. I could go on….
Lcd Soundsystem – You Wanted A Hit
1. Best Coast – “Crazy For You”
Bethanies, sometimes people criticize your music and say it sounds real needy, all your songs are about being unhappy without boys ect ect. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with being needy. Feminsts and uptight a-holes who are uncomfortable with weakness r teh worst and are the actual weak ones. Sometimes I feel needy, then I play this album and feel better.

12 13 2010
2010 un año más y un año que nos dio mucho, musicalmente empezó con una corriente de Chillwave y terminó con Witch House, muchas bandas sacaron sus segundas producciones y como todo sabemos es muy dificil encontrar una segunda parte buena. Se nos va el 2010 pero siempre estará en nuestras mentes, ya que es el año en el que nace µ sique. Los dejo con la lista de los 20 mejores discos según µ sique:
20. MGMT - Congratulations - Una nueva propuesta en esta segunda producción muy bien lograda.
19. Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti - Before Today - Ariel Pink está loco.
♩ Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti - Round and Round

13. Yeasayer - Odd Blood - Después de un gran primer disco, Yeasayer lo vuelve a hacer.
12. The Black Keys - Brothers - Poder.
11. Tame Impala - Innerspeaker - Psicodelia que hacía falta en estos tiempos.
10. Maximum Balloon - Maximum Balloon - Dave Sitek y su proyecto de solista, tiene la misma cantidad de groove que de colaboradores.
♩ Maximum Balloon - If You Return (feat. Little Dragon)
9. The National - High Violet - Después de el gran Boxer los chavos de Ohio supieron perfecto como hacer las cosas.
♩ The National - Conversation 16
8. Deerhunter - Halcyon Digest - Quizá no tan bueno como Microcastle pero Bradford Cox sabe hacer unos discazos!
♩ Deerhunter - He Would Have Laughed
7. Owen Pallett - Heartland - Un disco lleno de mágia, fantasía y calidad.

6. Arcade Fire - The Suburbs - Disco tras disco, Arcade Fire nos demuestra porqué es una banda tan importante.
♩ Arcade Fire - We Used To Wait
5. LCD Soundsystem - This is Happening - Un disco que podría ser perfecto, pero una rola no tan mala pero no del nivel del resto del disco está ahi.
♩ LCD Soundsystem - You Wanted a Hit
4. Gorillaz - Plastic Beach - Damon Albarn es un genio.
3. Beach House - Teen Dream - La conexión que hay entre Victoria Legrand y Alex Scally es la culpable de la excelencia de Teen Dream. Todo lo necesario, donde debe de ir.
♩ Beach House - 10 Mile Stereo
2. Foals - Total Life Forever - Un gran segundo album con ese poder característico del Antidotes pero llevado a un paso más maduro, manejando las dinámicas musicales a la perfección.
1. Caribou - Swim - El mejor del 2010, de esos que escuchas una y otra vez y nunca te cansas. El nombre es tambien perfecto, todas las rolas cumplen su cometido y es que te hacen nadar.
