Here’s his take on “Everything Falls Apart” from L.A quartet The One Am Radio that focuses on the whisperlike vocals but injects the track with a steady beat for all you late night dancers.

Eli himself also took a go and did his own amazing rework of the track, sexy pianodriven disco/house at its finest with some sax business thrown in to take the sexiness up a notch.

You can always count on Mike Simonetti (dj extraordinaire and founder of labels Italians Do It Better and Troubleman Unlimited) to give us exquisite disco edits, this time he puts his magic touch on the new single “Million Dollar Bill” from Whitney Houston.

Aleks Discodust tipped off us Grindin peeps about Desire which is the new project from the now Montreal based producer Johnny Jewel (of Chromatics and Glass Candy fame) and it also consists of singstress Megan Louise. A day later we saw that the track “If I Can’t Hold You” was officially leaked by Mr Mike Simonetti over at Italians Do It Better. This is one of our favorite tracks at the moment. Cold yet at the same time light italodisco that will suck you in and leave you reeling for more…

Italians Do It Better head honcho Mike Simonetti gives us his latest mix entitled “African Connection”. Spring is in the air!

“…It is mostly African disco lps and 45′s mixed with some Caribbean and Jamaican tunes in there for good measure. No real mixing here, just kicking back and fading in and out for maximum early Spring vibes, so dont expect a dj spectacular here – it’s all about the selection. As a matter of fact, this mix was done while playing with the big man on the floor– true multitasking…”

Mike Simonetti of Troubleman Unlimited/Italians Do It Better fame just dropped this mix.

“OK, here’s the backstory. early in 2008 mike and johnny went into the studio to work on stuff, fuck around a little with edits, music etc… Mike brought a box of records into the studio, and they picked out some songs. We came up with an idea to collaborate on a mix of edits. We did a bunch of edits on the fly (no computers, just a few cdjs) and did a mix. At the time, Mike was staying at Adam and Natties house and as we all know he’s allergic to cats, and he was pretty fucked up the whole time he was there, in a constant state of “almost asthma attacks”…The typical Portland weather (DAMP RAIN) didnt help either. Plus we listened to chopped and screwed hip hop pretty much exclusively (as it is the shit Johnny listens to being from Houston and all). The mix you hear is the result of some of my time in Portland in early 2008…Pitched down tracks for your enjoyment…Done in a single take, Mike and Johnny knocked out some edits and tried to mix them. Some of these are proper “edits”, others are simple extensions of the good parts for djing purposes, and a few tracks were perfect the way they were. Shit, some are even edits of other edits!!! The original tape was all but lost, but i found this on my ipod on the plane and dumped it to my computer. I totally forgot about it. you may have heard some of these versions in a live nightclub setting when i was djing. small world, right? I am going to post a few edits for you all to download later this week if you want (let us know) …Can you guess which one of these songs on this mix is one of Mike’s favorite disco trax of all time?”
