This should have been up last week but Dreamhost kept me from posting it but here it is:

YO! This is VonMarxen back with my second week of WE GOT MAIL. Once again, a bunch of great stuff came through the mailbox, but first I’m gonna shove some of my crap at ya. I threw together a mix a while ago, it’s pretty energetic. I think you actually burn several hundred calories just sitting and listening to it.

Moving on to stuff that is actually GOOD now, James Pants is dropping his debut album “Welcome” on May 27th, till then he is cranking out a remix a week to set the mood. He sent over a really chill mix of Too $horts “I Ain’t Trippin”, this is perfect to throw on and chill on the warming spring nights.

Too Short- I Ain’t Trippin (James Pants Ruff Remix) (direct link)

DJ White Mike out of San Fran wins “best dj name of the day” and he also put together a really soulful mix. A little less for the dance floor and a little more for the kick it in the corner of the dark bar, but dope nonetheless.

Dj White Mike-Good Fun Mix (direct link)

Alan Astor from the action packed US State of Delaware sent over this pretty dope mix of “Just Fine” by Mary J Blige. He put together a really clean remix and I feel his pain of being from such a crappy place!

Mary J Blige – Just Fine (Alan Astor Remix) 320k (direct link)

I’m gonna wrap up today with a creepy remix of The Raveonettes “Aly Walk With Me.” I did a show with these guys in Iowa and they can agree it’s almost as bad as Delaware.

This remix was done by Obi Blanche and he has a new record out on New Judas records on May 24th called “RagTag Vagabonds”

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.

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.

It’s been a pleasure going through the incredible amount of tracks that have come through.

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:
