Australian's are probably already sick of Ten's summer promotion song "Hot Summer" by So You Think You Can Dance contestant, Rhys. That means its time for the remixes to roll in. A little while back I already posted Trumpdisco's filthy remix of the track. This time around Australian producers, Hundreds and Thousands, have opted to remove some of the grime in order to achieve a more chilled and ...

Random Awesome Tracks Part 2
Random Awesome Tracks Part 1
Here a number of tracks i've simply been dying to post, so what better time than now; its late at night, I can't sleep, and there is absolutely nothing else to do... lucky you guys!Zoo Brazil is an artist I only discovered today and already his track "Technik" has grown on me severely, to the point where i'm thinking it may be in my top 10 tracks of this year at least. I don't know what it is ...

I Don't Want No Scrubs
A scrub is defined as "a guy that can't get no love from me", but in 2009 it may take on a new meaning. Goshi Goshi (which is Japanese for Scrub Scrub), could well become the next big mystery producers in 2009; producers who may in fact get their fair share of "love from me", and from various other sources i'm sure. In keeping with their mystery profile, not much is known about Goshi Goshi, but...

Ye Olde Bangers
In a time where music is distributed quite easily, listened to, then usually thrown aside, let us not forget where we came from. With songs like Mind Dimension coming out, its not hard to tell that styles are evolving. Although I am excited to see where these genres of dance/house music are going, I always like to indulge myself in the tunes that got me into them. Below is a list of tracks I h

Commercial House
So Tiga's "Mind Dimension" is actually slightly popular now, entering Aria's Top 50 Club Chart at number 35. Actually, upon further inspection Aria's chart is getting steadily more 'blog-house' (is there really such a thing?) oriented, with names like Soulwax, In Flagranti, Kelevra and D.I.M. cropping up on a much more regular occasion amongst the usual commercial house that the chart used to b...

Cornelius
I'm finally back after an insane week and surprise surprise, after just one week there is just so much music to catch up on. The Bloody Beetroots upcoming song, EP and documentary known as Cornelius is set for release on the 8th of December, and judging by the video above it looks to be some entertaining stuff. Right on schedule is this edit of Cornelius by DaLa who is not new to editing Bloody...

Here Comes the Bass
Although not as prolific as I would like(can't get enough of it!), Douster is and has always been in my mind one of the freshest producers. Every track has the signature heavy bassline, but maintains an element of fun. This classic, a remix of Crux legend Bryan Cox, can seriously get you going with its womp.Bryan Cox - Let's Go to Work (Douster 'Don't Go to Work' Remix)As put so brilliantly by ...

That New Sound
Lately I've been feeling some songs of a much different style. Although all of it is not necessarily new, I believe it has the potential to be huge. If you caught the 80Kidz remix of Cold Dust Girl last week, you'll know what I'm talking about. Solid disco vibes and impeccable vocal work. The cuts and chops in these songs really progress that sound of ultimate catchy-ness, something that always..

Lost in Music
Jean Nipon has been Institubes newest addition to the label and he'son fire. With a solid new EP, he seems to be on his way to great success. Crazy noizes, production value worthy of Institubes' recognition, and an overall badass attitude show he's truly Wild at Heart.Jean Nipon - National Kids

Flying Lotus
I first heard flying Lotus 2 years ago, back when I was way into hip hop(still kinda am) and found him through some connection to Dilla or Madlib. His style can be described as many things, but its trip -hop, sidechained beats, and sheer brilliance. To me, he is absolutely the freshest hip hop producer around, with a completely unconventional sound. Buy both of his cd's and EP's for the full pa...

Catching up
Sorry about the lack of posts readers, life has been a bit crazy lately. Anyway, here are the tunes that have kept me going in these past couple of weeks. Hey Champ is a Chicago band that has been recently signed to Lupe Fiasco's record label 1st and 15th. Cold Dust Girl is definitely one of the best pop songs I've heard all year, so I recommend a listen. Also, the 80Kidz remix is incredible. I..

Put Your Lighters Up
Always get a bit of a laugh out of the occasional email sent down by Mr Alan Parley, aka Hostage. Its probably because they aren't the usual ones that are sent to just about any half decent blog, they have a little bit of a personal touch and are always hilarious. On top of this, you can always count on big, jackin, fidget track attached and waiting to be added to your collection. I think you'l...

Trumpdisco!
This post is a little overdue but better late than never! Trumpdisco recently sent me all of their productions and remixes for blogging purposes. Trumpdisco are from Melbourne, which could be debated as being the centre of electronic music in Australia. They have been recieving increasing amounts of attention lately, especially with their remix of Boy 8-Bit's underground hit, "The Suspense Is K...

12 Songs Of Christmas
So its probably a little bit too early to be posting Christmas mixes but I ended up with a mix that had twelve tracks and that's the name of the mix that I came up with. Once again I was a little bit bored and decided to give Ableton a crack again. This mix is a little more experimental than the last as I tried to implement some of the many audio effect tools that are built into the program. Th...

Interview: Youth Attack!
Yay! FVCV has finally become sort of a legit blog so I thought it time to start doing some interviews. Lee Dunn and Chris Petty of Youth Attack! are two young blokes from Harrogate/Leeds who have really been getting some real attention of late with their very unique style and sound. So if you don't wanna get left behind I suggest you get familiar -- DJrad: From what I've heard, you guys are a...

Robot rock with a bit of human touch
Wow, I can't believe I simply sailed right over these tracks the first time I saw them in my inbox. Luckily, Pete from Heads We Dance sent me a follow up email inquiring about whether I had posted the tracks yet or listened to them. Well this time it worked and I gave the email a genuine read. Upon seeing lines like "5/5 in I-DJ" and "Popjustice Song Of The Day", I knew it was time to give the ...
