No real Mixin’ It Up today but the peeps over at Mad Decent dropped a podcast/mix filled with early Chicago house/ghetto tech etc from one of our favorite dj duos, Flosstradamus. Here’s an excerpt from the blog post:

“Curt from Flosstradamus here. Just giving you the low down on this podcast. The boy Diplo asked us to do a Dancemania pod cast. If you don’t know about it Dancemania is a label out of Chicago that started in the mid 80’s with some pretty known anthems and artists. It wasn’t till the early 90’s when the more known names such as: DJ Funk, Paul Johnson, DJ Deeon, etc. were putting out heaters on DM, with ghetto and disco sounds. Within a few years the label put out more songs than you could download in one day off of hype machine. By 2001 they put out the DM 300 12″!! Over 300 songs on a single independent label out of Chicago! Pretty cool if ya ask me? That being said we had to choose from a nice handful of songs for a 30 minute mix. Also, the original approach for this mix tape was “ghetto house” also known as juke, ghetto tech, jit, among others. So we tried to merge a few of our favorite (I’m sure you have a handful too) Dancemania “Ghetto House” tunes with some new & exclusive Ghetto House tunes of today. I hope you like the lil mix we whipped up.”

We just posted the Mad Decent remix of the Metronomy track “A Thing For Me” that was made for the Bacardi/ B-Live project. We also got our hands on the remix by Swedish duo Fontän and they turn the track into what sounds like a drugged out progdisco jam.

British trio Metronomy are on the verge of releasing their second album “Nights Out” and they also have a bunch of other projects in the works. One of them is their involvement with the BAT Project, which is done in collaboration with Bacardi. The first release is “A Thing For Me” by Metronomy who contributed a track with the same name to a film commissioned by Bacardi to coincide with an event in Miami. The film was directed by Nima Nourizadeh (Flight Of The Conchords, Hot Chip, CSS) and it’s accompanied by remixes of the track from Mad Decent, Fontän, Friend and Breakbot.

The Mad Decent peeps gives the original version a shuffling, hazy sound that makes it kind of hard to dance to but that’s not necessarily a bad thing.
