We were hoping on doing one t-shirt/month but logistic problems are going to make that impossible, so instead we’re going to try to make new t-shirts as often as we can. That being said, here is the new design!

It was designed by Hugo Sundkvist from Hitsville Graphics and it’s limited to 100 t-shirts. We will put around half of them up for sale.

The price is 250 sek (€30 or $45) including shipping.

They are white and we got t-shirts in S, M, L, XL and XXL.

You have to act fast and e-mail us with your order if you would like your own Discobelle t-shirt. First come, first served.

What up Discobelle people!?!? My name is Kyle Marxen aka VonMarxen aka I’ve got too many aliases to share. I was lucky enough to guest write We Got Mail this week. I’m supposed to write a little about myself…I’ll keep it short and sweet. I started off with dance music back in 2000 when I did some street teaming/learning the ropes with my DJ Pal/ Chicago house master (and best bro) Richie Heller, I got into concert promoting/ production in college, ended up as a touring bassist, and a tour manager all while dj’ing local college bars and parties. I now hold it down in Iowa doing two parties a week. I also drive a PIMP 1987 Ford Thunderbird.

So I had to pick some tracks and mixes from the Discobelle inbox.

To start we have a pretty dope remix from some dudes who call themselves Project Cyborg. I checked out their bio on their website and at their MySpace and all I can gather is that they like Batman and throwing parties (we have some stuff in common). They remixed the already killer track “Super Disco Breakin” by the Beastie Boys. Check it!

Next up we have a b-more track from EMYND. Heres what he has to say about it: “I’ve recently posted a new Bmore Club/Philly Party Music track that will be coming out on Emynd & Bo Bliz’s next EP on Flamin Hotz records this summer. It’s a club remix of the Blackbyrds “Rock Creek Park” and Diplo has been playing it a lot over the last 6 months. This version is mixed and mastered by DJA.”

Here´s a zShare to EMYND - Rock This Park

The dudes over at Souldrop sent over this mix of “A Milli” by Lil Wayne. I’m happy someone else out there is making a mix that isnt of “Lollipop” cause some of Lil Waynes lines in this song are PRICELESS. Dude cracks me right up! Also the production on this remix is top notch. Check it here!

**************
Okay, I know I just said I was happy to get a non “Lollipop” mix of Lil Wayne, but this one came in that I really liked from The Kickdrums out of Ohio. The guitar is what really sells this track for me.

**********************
Switching Gears away from Weezy to probably my favorite track that came through. Immuzikation from Atlanta, GA put together Santogolds “L.E.S. Artistes” with D.A.N.C.E. He says “it’s taken me forever to figure out the right song for d.a.n.c.e. it’s never too late… ”

Here is the zShare:

*************************************************
I´ll finish up with 2 mixes.

First one comes from DJ Mentalcut who is Polish and proud. Dude DEFINITELY won me over by starting off his mix with the audio of that australian party kid that got famous through his hilarious Youtube video. (link to video)

Here´s what Mentalcut has to say about the mix: “Hey guys, Here’s my latest mix I’ve done for DJ Beware’s Radio FM4 show. Its going to be on air soon. I posted it on my blog, more than 300 people downloaded it, so I decided to give it to more blogs and message boards. It contains mainly of my remixes and blends…Hope you like it!”

Sorry to ask you to take this again but the last time we did it with the wrong url, so it was only a test survey not the real one (yep, someone f***ed up).

Discobelle is always trying to make changes for the better for you guys and now we are working on some new features and would like your help. It would be great if you could help us out by taking this survey.

Thank you guys!

Take part in the survey

And to thank you all we will send this weeks Mixin’ It Up out to the newsletter tomorrow. So, if you want it before everyone else (up on the site on friday), just sign up for the newsletter too.

If you missed the opening of Clot’s new JUICE store in Hong Kong you probably missed the “goodie bag” they gave out to the people who were invited. So here we are without the special CLOT t-shirt and the Diplo mix that was inside it. At least we got hold of the Diplo mix for you.

Since I’m out of words on how to write another post about American Boy I’m going to leave it to the promo mail we got:

“Washington, DC figureheads Dave Nada and Matt Nordstrom first joined forces in the fall of 2007 for their weekly party “trap”. Every week after some heavy drinking, the two discussed the meaning of life and a few song ideas they had. Their initial tracks caught the attention of Dave “Switch” Taylor who immediately wanted them for his legendary Dubsided imprint. With tunes getting support from the likes of Diplo, A-trak, Tittsworth, The Rub, Craze, Klever, Drop the Lime, and Jokers of the Scene, these dudes look to set the game on fire. Here’s a preview…”

New NADASTROM EP coming soon on Dubsided! Stay tuned for an all new Dubsided website!!

P.S. I do love this remix

A Mixin’ It Up from Canada? You know that we can’t get enough of them. It’s Sta time!

Sta is Stu Freen, coming out of Toronto, Canada. After passing around some bootleg remixes in early 2007 (notably his rework of Timbaland’s “Give it to Me” and his take on the In Living Color theme song, aptly titled “In Living Colour”) he started getting some major attention. Since then he’s been hard at work in the lab, cranking out remixes for everyone from Hail Social to The Crystal Method. His first single for In Living Colour dropped in March on Adam Freeland’s label Marine Parade to good reviews and lots of plays. Check him out in Australia later this May, where he’s playing dates in Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.

TRACKLIST:

Fischerspooner - Danse En France
Love the intro in this track, but the rest of it is a bit slow for my tastes. The DIM remix is great.

Cut Copy - Lights and Music (Boys Noize remix)
The man kills it on this remix. He took the original which I liked a lot and made it perfect for the dance floor.

Boys Noize - Oh! (A-Trak remix)
I’m probably breaking some DJ rule by playing two Boys Noize tracks in a row but what can I say, they’re two of my favourite new tracks. I’m actually not too hot on a lot of his stuff but this remix is great.

Midfield General - Disco Sirens (Boy 8-Bit remix)
This remix has a great intro for mixing in, peaking with the sirens half a minute in. This whole remix is pretty sick actually, although the lyrics are a bit dumb.

Adam Freeland - Hate (Sta remix)
Working for the boss man on this one. This is a remix I’m doing for the Marine Parade guys and I’m really happy with how it came out.

Liquid - Sweet Harmony (Streetlife DJs mix)
I am in love with these guys right now. First got into their Cazals remix, and their Bodycrash mix is favourite of the bunch. Cut up, engergetic, attention-grabbing stuff. My only half-beef is that the tracks go so strong the whole way through that they’re hard to mix out of, so I have to make edits.

Poney Poney - Cross the Fader (Headman remix)
I don’t know what to say about this one, it’s just a solid track. Good vocals, nice beat, tight production etc.

Daisy Daisy - Michelle Plays Ping Pong (Vicarious Bliss remix)
This is a sexy song. It’s a couple of years old but I never heard it out much, which is a crime. The ping pong sound could be a bit cheesy but somehow it just makes things even better.

Underworld - Ring Road (Fake Blood remix)
I like how the intro of this fit into the last song, I use it kind of as a bridge here. Fake Blood is sick. Is he a famous producer’s pseudonym or some guy with a computer? Who cares.

Round Table Knights - Freak from Desire
My favourite track from the Eurogirls go to Baltimore comp. I’m a sucker for cheesy piano riffs, what can I say.

Kid Cudi - Day n’ Night (Jokers of the Scene remix)
My dudes from Ottawa. They’ve been KILLING it this past year. Go Jokers. People tend to play the Crookers remix of this song out because it’s more high energy, but this one is sick too.

Bitchee Bitchee Ya Ya Ya - Fuck Friend (Yuksek & Brodinski remix)
This is another under-played track. It’s super simple, but dope none the less. I like how the lyrics fit under the Kid Cudi track.

Ladyhawke - Back of the Van (Fred Falke remix)
Someone told me that Fred Falke and Alan Brax aren’t working together any more, which is too bad. But, if Falke is going to keep making tracks like this one and his last EP, I don’t really mind.

Sta - Stay
Here’s where I slow it down a bit. This is a new track I’m working on and am kind of feeling so far. Hip hop beats and big fat synths, how can you go wrong.

Les Rythmes Digital - About Funk
I had totally forgotten this song existed until I had a random brain flash last week. For some reason it just came into my head and I remembered how awesome it is. SDP doing his best Daft Punk impression, ’nuff
said.

Sebastian Tellier - Sexual Sportswear (SebastiAn remix)
I am feeling most of the new SebastiAn stuff a lot. “Dog” is the exception (it’s kind of shitty). I love that whole “Motor” EP though, and his Das Pop remix is really good too. This is really a SebastiAn song after he gets through with it, but I do like Sebastian Tellier a lot too.

Thanks Discobelle!

We posted a Cumbia mix by Chief Boima up on the site about a year ago. Now, he returns with an African Remix remix of “Love In This Club” by Usher. It has a Coupe Decale influence and he also did a mix with a bunch of original remixes in the same vein. Get them both and if you like the mixtape, go buy it here.!
