A bit weary from last nights Smuts party at Babel where Solo flexed his skills and made the Malmö crowd dance like there was no tomorrow.
Anyway, just yesterday we gave you the Harvard Bass remix of new single “Set Me Free” from Brooklyn bass guru Drop The Lime and today we’e able to hand you the remix from the Zombie Disco Squad boys. Whilst the original is a big room monster complete with house diva vocals from new talent Carrie Wilds (she’ll also be featured on the Crookers record), the Zombies turn it down a notch for more of that funky techhousey sound.
Tomorrow night sees the third edition of Smuts, the club night we run together with the WooBanger boys at Babel here in Malmö. Last time we had Bok Bok and Spoek who both did a mighty fine job of trying to turn the house upside down, wednesday sees Italian gone Londoner Solo try to outdo them with his midget house sound. This remix of dynamic Milan duo Crookers track “Put Your Hands On Me” (released on Southern Fried Records a while ago) is his first offical one and for this occasion he decided to just use the accapella, transforming the track into a pure banger which has been a highlight in our sets lately.
Solo has been hard at work in the studio lately not just producing his own tracks or remixes but also producing beats. In the near future, we can expect an EP for Sound Pellegrino + a remix for Wiley and also remixes for some bigger names across the pond.
American/Swedish trio Thieves Like Us met in Berlin, discovered a mutual interest in Hot Chip meets New Order type electropop, released the single “Drugs In My Body” on Kitsuné and then toured all over the world. Tonight, they’ll be at Babel here in Malmö for the second edition of the Tricks/Tricks/Tricks club night. This remix of the Miss Kittin track “Party In My Head” will give you an idea of what to expect.
Some shameless selfpromotion again, tomorrow night plays host for the second edition of Smuts at Babel right here in Malmö where yours truly together with Woobanger proudly presents fellow Grinder and producer/dj extraordinaire Bok Bok along with rapper Spoek Mathambo (of Sweat X fame).
Join us for what promises to be one of the best club nights this year in Malmö!
This is for our local peeps: This fall we’re joining the dj crew Woobanger as residents for the monthly club Smuts at Babel in Malmö. Tonight is the first night and to make it even bigger we invited local dj hero Jonas Arbsjö and Malmö bass producer 2c-t-7. All kinds of bass music is promised and I have a real good feeling about this!

Simian Mobile Disco hits Sweden this weekend for the five year anniversary of Sommarfesten. The party is at a great location called Luftkastellet just below the mighty Öresundsbron. SMD is about to release their second full length album “Temporary Pleasure” in a couple of weeks and you have already heard the massive “Synthesise”, “10,000 Horses Can’t Be Wrong” and the latest single “Audacity Of Huge”.
Together with Mattias at Babel we get to hand out four signed promo EPs of “Audacity Of Huge”. The EPs will be handed out at the party and you also get free entrance! All you have to win is answer the following question:
Who Sings on Audacity of Huge?
And send the answers to: kristofer.elofsson@cooperativemusic.se
The rest of the lineup is not bad either with the top of the crop of the local Malmø DJ scene.

The last twelve months have seen Londoner James Yuill make the journey from self-releasing records from his suburban bedroom studio to signing with Moshi Moshi Records, gigging everywhere from the Radio One Big Weekend to a beach in the Bahamas, and releasing his debut album “Turning Down Water For Air”. He also managed to squeeze in a Mixin’ It Up for us here at Discobelle.
“No Surprise” (a recent iTunes single of the week) originally comes in a choice of three flavours: the original album version, where James’s songwriting and electronic wizardry are in perfect balance or in brand new ‘Earth’ and ‘Fire’ versions where James takes the song for inspired diversions down acoustic and dancefloor routes respectively. But now we’ve got the acappella for you to play around with. The prize for the best remix is that it will released in some way by Moshi Moshi/James Yuill and the winner will also get the Moshi Moshi back catalogue and James Yuill goodies. Get cracking and send your remixes this way (end date is June 6th)!
We are going to celebrate our 3 year anniversary at Kärleksklubben this coming Friday (we’ll be back with more info about that). Will Jam (Million Vibes) who is resident at the club and will be playing on the other floor sent over a promotion mix with the latest dancehall stuff for the night so I thought we would get that up to double promote ourself (and a reason to have some dancehall on here).
Green Room Sessions asked us if we could help them find an artist for their Green Room Sessions in Malmö this Friday at Babel. We then turned to one of our favorite labels New Judas, and if you heard the stuff they’ve been putting out then you know that’s a great choice.
So if you go to Babel this Friday you will be hearing a secret live gig from an artist on Finnish label New Judas.
