Johnny Jewel hits the books and hand picked 10 tracks from the italians do it better back catalog for the ‘Solid Gold’ compilation.

You can take your dabble into the battling bottin on ‘No Static’, the delish swed duo tiedye and ‘Nothing Else Matters’ or galatic ‘laid pop from Solange with ‘Robots are Dub American’.

If there was ever a soundtrack for a trip through the burbs and into the countryside (or just down for disco glory holes) then the ‘Solid Gold’ comp would have to saddle up there close to #1…

Bottin – No Static 192

Solange – Robots are Dub American 192

go buy the entire thing and feel good about yourself here.

The awesome Anton Qlint (one half of the Italians Do It Better affiliated Gothenburg based duo Tiedye) just sent over this new mix of hard to find Scandinavian disco/prog/pop etc. and also the unreleased Tiedye remix of a track from Swedish group Syket (second song in the mix).

Anton Qlint of Tiedye – Taximix

Wolfmothers ‘White Feather’ EP is filled with some highly unique and fascinating mixes. Featuring home grown hero’s Bang Gang, both Tiedye and summer synth master Burns they must have also shaken hands with the ‘Record Makers‘ Label having both Turzi and the boss man himself one time France Eurovision representative Sebastien Tellier all providing a range of mixes .

Sebastien uses some ominous building chimes and centered choir-itical vocals that sits somewhere around a hybrid of Birdy Nam Nam and your worst trip.

After a launch of launch of epic proportions, Controversy is back next week with a bigger badder line up. DJ KAOS (Rong/DFA) will be playing his only Melbourne show with local show stopper KNIGHTLIFE providing support.

ROXANNE & CONTROVERSY PRESENT:
DJ KAOS (DFA/BERLIN) & KNIGHTLIFE (CUTTERS RECORDS)

Roxane Parlour (Level 3, 2 Coverlid Place, Melb CBD)
17th July

DJ Kaos and Cutters flagship artist KNIGHTLIFE will be releasing savage beasts in the mainroom along side the Controversy resident line up – Chestwig, Otologic, Lewie Day and Luke Brown. The infamous ‘parlor room party’ will be in full swing with Jean Pierre, Superhandz v Francis Chang, Ronzel v Wolfgang, Waves at Night Djs, Flirt Cub Djs and Campfire.

DJ Kaos is an integral part of the Berlin underground scene, producing a variety of twisted dance music for a number of years now. He’s performed all over the Globe, from Europe, Japan to the US. He has released original music on such seminal dance labels as Eskimo, Kitsune, Playhouse, as well as Rong Music and DFA. His remixes have proven in demand, remixing everyone from !!! to Roxy Music to the New Young Pony Club.
My favourite is Italians’ Do It Better wondermites Tiedye’s magic touch to Kaos’ “Love the Nite Away” - purrs at me everytime I hear it.

Knightlife has just releases his second EP masterpiece titled “II” out on hip label Cutters which is a little moster and a half. You may all remember me posting the demo of “Crusader” a while ago (in 2007 ha!!!) but here is the real deal and I must say, I truely love cowbells!
