Another week of a full inbox and fun! This is rick re:action once again. I hope you enjoy my second of three weeks here picking through the Discobelle flood of mail:

Man, I wish I had a copy of “The Manual.” Thankfully with tracks like this first one I can reach some understanding of it without actually having it in front of me. B.G. The Prince Of Rap aka Bernard Greene’s “This Beat Is Hot” remixed by Toronto’s DJ Matt Medley (The man behind Remix This!). A little somethin’ somethin’ for all you old school b-boys & b-girls out there.

And the video for the original for those feeling nostalgic

Next Massive Face comes with a nice remix including some Splack Pack on there (hard to refute the use of that):

Le Matos were featured in one of our We Got Mail editions a few months ago and they got some good response. The first official remix by Le Matos popped up in our mailbox yesterday. They’ve remixed the track “Prends Une Photo Avec Moi” from fellow Montrealians in rap group Omnikrom (famous for their ode to Quebecois fast food “Danse La Poutine”). Le Matos turns the track into some synthy futuristic electro/hip hop which is undeniably perfect for the club.

Hey Discobelle readers - this is rick re:action from Redscroll Records in Wallingford, CT, USA. I’ve been a loyal reader of Discobelle for quite a while and an electronic music fan for much longer. I’ve done stints as Music Director and Program Director at a few local college stations (currently at WESU). I hope you enjoy my picks for you. It’s been a pleasure going through the incredible amount of tracks that have come through.

First up, Jupiters Heroes with what they self-describe (quite accurately) as “neo italo cosmic techno”:

This next mix was a promotional mix for an event (with Shir Khan, Juiceboxxx, Dre Skull, Acid Girls, Fluokids, Krames, Egyptrixx, my!gay!husband!, DJ Orion, Iggy baby + Culnsweet djs) that happened this past weekend at SXSW. From this mix I can only assume it was a blast:
