It's Friday. You need to listen to something to get you excited for the weekend. I stumbled across Light Year this morning. Of course, another amazing electronic act from Australia. Their bio says that Tiga drops this track sometimes, and I am no way surprised. Please check out Sex Education.

They've also got a mix that you can download here, featuring the following:
1. Switch & Trevor Loveys - Get Ya Dub On Part 2
2. Para One - Toadstool (Jesse Rose Made To Play Dub)
3. Ramon Tapia - This Groove
4. Shadow Dancer - Biscayne
5. Lemon Jaxx - Smok'n (Kenny Dope Edit)
6. Green Velvet - Cornucopia
7. Carte Blanch - Gare Du Nord
8. Etienne De Crecy - Hope (Alternate Studio Version)
9. Jan Driver - Tellyfoam
10. Surkin - Fan Out

Have a nice weekend!!

2010: The year of Tiga remixes

TIGA – VINYL RELEASES FOR “SEX O’CLOCK”, “OVERTIME”, “GENTLE GIANT” and “LOVE DON’T DANCE HERE ANYMORE”

Beginning January 18th, Tiga will release a series of remix 12”s for “Sex O’Clock”, “Overtime”, “Gentle Giant” and “Love Don’t Dance Here Anymore”, songs from his 2009 album Ciao! The ambitious project features some of the most respected and sought-after producers in dance music.

“For these remixes, I looked to Titans. Standing on the roof of my greenhouse, I called out, ‘Hey you, get off of that impossible cloud and into my car. We’re gonna drive all night ‘til we hit Remix City!’”


Sex O’Clock

Remixes by Matias Aguayo, Jamie Lidell and Trevor Jackson.

“I asked them, ‘When can you have the remixes ready by?’ They said, ‘About a month from now.’ I said, ‘Time. That’s precisely what the song is about. Use that.’”


Overtime

Remixes by Adam Beyer and Brodinski.

“These producers represent two sides of the Commemorative Dance Coin. To me, variety is that spicy element that seasons the living of our very lives.”


Gentle Giant

Remixes by Seth Troxler and Mathew Jonson

“When a song means a lot to you personally, having it remixed is a lot like sending your child to undergo plastic surgery. In this case, though, it was like having the surgery done by doctors you respect as musicians.”


Love Don’t Dance Here Anymore

Remix by Carl Craig. Instrumental version by Tiga

“It goes without saying that having Carl Craig remix my song is an honor. For the instrumental version, I removed all the vocals personally. It took nine hours. By the end, I was hysterical.”


Tiga could not be more excited about these vinyl releases, and wants nothing more than fans to share in his enthusiasm. “If you purchase all four, I will write your name and credit card information in a special leather-bound book. Also one copy will include a silver ticket, which you can trade in for a golden ticket. Which does nothing.”

“I’m a dreamer. I see the world through groove-colored glasses, ever watching the horizon for the whole world to come dancing into my arms.”

Film: Part of the Weekend Never Dies

There was obviously a blip in the space/time continuum. I'd never seen this trailer or heard of this doc before. Luckily for the internet, there should be a copy on its way to me now.

To get an idea of what will be contained in this DVD, besides appearances by Busy P, Justice, Tiga, Erol Alkan, among others. I can quote Soulwax as saying:

“Where the Beastie Boys filmed one gig with 50 cameras, we filmed 120 shows with one camera in Europe, Japan, US, Latin America and Australia”
