British electro duo The Black Ghosts have a new EP out, it’s entitled “Repetition Kills You” and that’s where this quite mellow and stripped down remix by Diplo is taken from.

It’s been a few weeks since Bristolian electro/house producer Plimsouls graced the pages of Discobelle. But now he’s back with a remix of the Mystery Jets single “Two Doors Down”. The Erol Alkan produced band made a wise decision when they gave remixing duties to Plimsouls, pure electro goodness and this will without a doubt make the dancefloor lose it.

Emynd keeps on cranking out some serious heat with his remixes and edits aswell as his original tracks. Let´s leave the description of these two remixes to the man himself:

“The first is this Club/Party Music track I made using elements from 2 Live Crews “Back At Your Ass” Megamix from their album “Back at Your Ass for the Nine-4″. It’s really simple track, but I think that’s part of what makes it so effective. The deep bass kicks work really well in the club and I really like the chopped melody. “

Then we have his second remix of the huge South Rakkas Crew track “Mad Again”.

“This is quite a bit different from my Bounce remix. For one, it’s much more obviously House inspired with the four on the floor drums and the reverbed House piano that adds the melody on top of the twirling “Automan” synth. It also just feels a whole lot different in mood and uses significantly more of the acapella. The Bounce remix is hard, aggressive, and energetic, while this has a bit more of a smooth and melancholy feel. I do really like the Bounce breakdown in this, but I also think Diplo was wise to advise me to get rid of the pianos and make a full on Bounce song out of it. That being said, I think this song is interesting in its own right…”

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!!

This is a sampler of the upcoming CD “Benzi & Diplo Presents: Paper Route Gangstaz - Fear & Loathing in Hunts Vegas” that’s due to be released in April. We know that this will kill it just by the looks of all the people involved. (Thanks to Benzi)
