Tommie Sunshine may look like you could buy weed and mushrooms from him on the corner of Haight and Asbury but don’t get it twisted. He’s one of the most prolific DJs/producers/remixers on the circuit right now. Releasing remixes from a wide selection of artist, his talents are sought from bands across all genres. Major Lazer’s 2009 hit “Hold The Line” has seen its fare share of knob tweekers, and Tommie adds his own voice in the form of the mighty 808.
I can’t believe Ratatat has released 4 LPs in 4 years. That’s an impressive amount of recorded material and often encompasses most bands complete discography. “Party With Children” sounds exactly how it sounds, a playful instrumental track that you can finger paint to, or listen during a play date, or have a tantrum to.
Here in the states we have MSTRKRFT. In Sweden the have BMK. This techno renegade outfit is making warehouse friendly bangers with electro overtones and floor stomping beats. Download “We Don’t Care,” cover your face with a cool bandana, and pump your blood stream with “party favors,” cause this one is going to get your night jumpin’.
Oakland’s NastyNasty takes Brooklyn’s The Knife song “Behind the Bushes” on a trip into space. With fluttering synthesizer and washed out bass, this songs original is almost unrecognizable. Peep more music from NastyNasty on their Myspace page.
