Bird Peterson‘s “Space Wizards (Of Moon Zero)” sounds like a rave on New Year’s Eve 1999 at the second in a parallel universe where the Y2K virus was real and computers suddenly gained sentience and unleashed an Armageddon with enough syncopated percussion to make your eyeballs roll into the back of your head. There’s a subtlety to the rising and falling percussion blasts that becomes more appreciated on repeat listens, but it’s mostly the kind of track that will have the club stomping enough to trick people outside into thinking that there’s square dancing going on inside.

Poupon follows his fly remix of Meati & Meech’s “Bock” with a remix of “Space Wizards” that goes for a long, rising arc instead of a series of frantic buildups and releases. It’s a bubbling choir of pitch shifted grunts and mutters, while the beat climbs to Mount Fuji-esque heights and then proceeds to fling itself off the edge without any thought of a parachute. Think 6am, mixing bottles of Nyquil with vodka in a parking lot outside the club, and a hands-in-the-air club jam that oscillates between spacy vocals and brisk, no nonsense meaty percussion.

California based Mom & Dad weave some vocal house magic in “This Joint”, which swaggers comfortably around the excellent employment of its sample into a whooping hollering summer beach party jam of undeniably catchy magnitude, darting into the shadows at times but never straying too far from its hip-house roots.

If “This Joint” were a person, then Panton & Cyron B would’ve layed it under an operating table, jacked it up on black market morphine, and performed some cybernetic plastic surgery on it, morphing it into a underground deep tech-house assassin that bears only the slightest resemblence to the original product. Clashing drums and brooding percolating blips do their thing overtop a vocal sample that could’ve been recorded in the bowels of the seventh layer of hell. Deconstructing the vibrant party vibe of the original turns this one into something darker, but nonetheless just as likely to make you reach on the dancefloor.

Astronomar‘s contribution to Turned On Volume 2 takes the cake in terms of the track most likely to make you drop whatever you’re doing and go “what am I listening to?” The sound of an MS-DOS program committing suicide or a coffee pot exploding on the kitchen stove are two descriptors that try to describe it, but probably the closest I can come is to say that it’s an utterly unique piece of infectious hiccuping house music, employing a vocal sample that sounds like it’s taken from a schoolyard chant or ancient curse that will stay locked in the inner regions of your eardrums for months to come.

Hijack‘s jacking bouncy electro shuffle funk feels well suited to remixing this gem, and he drizzles a healthy layer of Chicago style house syrup on this one. Chunky drums, spliced vocals, and an effect that sounds like it’s adding an electric saw to the mixdown all round out this crystallized beat.

Electro outfit Designer Drugs have steadily been cranking out quality tracks and remixes for quite some time now. Iheartcomix picked up on the hype surrounding the duo and here’s the debut single “Zombies!/Back Up In This” (it was released on April 14th). The vinyl version will be released in Europe only but the digital version can of course be found at your favorite online shop. This one packs quite a punch with remixes from Bird Peterson, Nadastrom, Don Rimini and on the digital release additional remixes courtesy of Michael Meds, Nrotb and B. Rich.

Dave Nada and Matt Nordstrom provides us with yet another of their top notch bangers, built up around the “Back Up In This” vocal sample and handclaps it manages to be dark and quite menacing but also a bit on the funky tip. Wait for those ravey synths!

Whoa! Texan extraordinaire remixing machine Bird Peterson gives us a flashback to the 90′s with his thumping take on that huge track “Crossroads” from Bone Thugs N Harmony.

Bird Peterson! Those two words are basically all you need to know before you press that link but if you want more info then this is what the track is about: stuttering Mobb Deep vocals, handclaps, synths galore, massive breakdowns + a bass that will punch you in the gut.

Our buddy DLake (previously mentioned here) just e-mailed us some new stuff.

Texan producer/dj Bird Peterson did this bouncy remix of the track “Holy Ghost In The Club” from DLakes live group Claire Hux (they just signed to Unruly Records). They call themselves a party rap group with a live show more resembling some of those early 90′s groups such as Bel Biv Divoe, Kid n Play, Fresh Prince of Bel Air but with more syncopated dances and goofy lyrics.

Claire Hux also have a brand new mixtape coming out in a few weeks, mixed by the one and only Scottie B.

The crazy Texan producer Bird Peterson – or Bird Heaterson as he should be called – put together a ravey breakfilled bass monster of a remix. It’s his take on the track “Hyperactive” from German duo Malente & Dex (the single was just released by Shir Khans label Exploited Records).
