Best Flight Ever

I'm sorry Mark but I had to steal this from you, and post it up on the blog.

Sand Eaters

First off , I made this screen saver for all the PennedMadness lovers! Click the animation to download the screensaver (pc only).


I'm feeling spooky these days. All the new tracks I've been making and playing have all been sounding like Cousin It and Unkle Fester threw a rave. So I figured I'd share some of my friends tracks that are leaning on the same pole with me waiting for the Halloween bus to arrive.

First up, a newish track from my man Dskotek. With vocals from the sexiest voice ever 'A Girl and A gun,' hard synths, and stuttered everything, this track is a good one to listen to while you tighten the bolts in your neck.







Dskotek - Like a Vampire ft. A Girl and A Gun

Now we have the track that last Halloween, I got so much love for. I really only spent 30 min on this edit, but it works perfect. The Munsters theme song remix!







Figure - The Munsters Theme song B-More Halloween

Bul!m!atron is so ill to me, he gave me this a while ago to remix, I tried.
When I heard Dskoteks remix, I decided not to try. This is on some layer shit.







BUL!M!ATRON! - Stab Attack (Dskotek's Woooo!!! remix

Code from American Dream Team is on his game 247. He sent me this last Halloween, it worked very well. I haven't seen it out there that much. So Here! Big up Code







TADT - NIGHTMARE DISCO

I want to post all the huge scary bangers , like Mustard Pimps - Beetle Gum , Designer Drugs - Zombies! , and Felix Cartels - Skeleton...but those are all out there already. Get them if you don't have them already!

Black Magic Woman Remix


So I wanted to post this last minute before I left to Miami for WMC!
This is straight out the studio, and for those of you who follow me on twitter or on facebook - you already know I'm super excited about it! It's already getting huge support and it's only been finished for 12 hours.

World, I give you my remix of Santan's Black Magic Woman. I hope you enjoy it, and see you in miami!

Mike Goston/Sketch



It's rather hard to believe, but you simply must believe me when I say that here in Gainesville there are a few living remnants of the fabled band wars-era homeboyhood, that kicking and screaming creative spirit which brought the world a lot of gritty, angry music about drinking, struggle, brotherhood, a deep love of the city, and drinking. also drinking.

It's true, though. Even in such a seriously disjointed music scene as the one here today, new forces are stretching their tender roots into the soil, filling the vacuum left by the previous generation. Dance music is back on a somewhat steady upward stroke in this city, and while it ain't what it used to be right now, it's going to be banging as hard as anyone can remember soon enough.

Mike Goston is a pristine example of how great sounds will always find a way to materialize from the ether in this odd little city. It just needs the appropriate vessel. A regular DJ at the saturday night Neon Liger parties under the name Sketch, Mike has managed to produce a fiendishly solid EP between bouts of Katamari Damacy, rave-hut misadventures, and other similar party-dependent diversions. The resulting sound is unpretentious, very original, and obscenely clever. Titled "Select/Start", the four track EP in full will be available for digital download or CD right on tax day, April 15. Highly recco'd, unless you're not 110% awesome.








Mike Goston - Put That Thang On 'Em (320)
Equally at home warming up the nice room vibes early in the evening or warming up your inner thighs at the 4am afterparty.








Mike Goston - Select/Start (320)
A choice heater with plenty of FM synths and enough reverb/delay to make Sonic Youth's genitals shrivel into their bodies until the song has been over for at least three minutes.

Manley and I were earlier discussing the distilled sound of these songs, and we both agreed on the prospects of great remixes coming from these (PROTIP - email him). But the true beauty of this release is that Mike will be hand-crafting the disc packaging himself in a limited number... this is something I personally cannot wait to see in my hands. For your own copy, get a hold of the man via email or his myspace.

See you in Miami.

They Are What Porno Should Be


Just when you thought it was safe to get back onto the dancefloor... Little over a week ago the boys of Hot Pink Delorean released a follow up to their recent EP "I am What Porno Should Be..." The new release, aptly titled "I am What Porno Should Be Part 2," is the continuation of there previous installment of dance gems...

In addition to a preview of the HPD tracks, we also have a remix of Hot Pink's other hit "Party Favour" by Knowlton Walsh... Taking what was already there, Knowlton then distorts and rearranges the song creating a even harder incarnation...or something like that :) this Frankenstiened Beast, which will roam through the land and devour all in it's path...

Check out Hot Pink Delorean and Knowlton Walsh in Miami next week if you happen to be there, they are each playing a shit-ton of shows up and down the beach...

ALSO, grab your copy of "I am What Porno Should Be Part 2" from Beatport for higher quality files!








Hot Pink Delorean - Blaze It








Hot Pink Delorean - Bonobo Ballet








Hot Pink Delorean - Molester Francais








Hot Pink Delorean - Get It Girl

Scratchophone!

How fuckin' sick is this!? From our friends of the great white north, Canadia, comes this - The Scratchophone. An Ultra-Portable Turntable/Mixer/Djembe "Device" that allows you to...
what for it...
Scratch on the go...

Again, I ask you, how fuckin' sick is this?

here's what the Scratchophone people have to say...

"The Scratchophone is a portable Scratch instrument, featuring a turntable, tonearm, mixer, a pair of speakers and a rechargeable battery. It is an ”instrumental unity” for scratching: all in one, portable and autonomous! The Scratchophone can be carried and used virtually anywhere in a wide variety of applications: jamming with friends, playing live on stage and even scratching outdoors... Professsional features like the exclusive tangential micro-tonearm for non-skipping scratching, the unique rotary fader box to play in any posture and an ultra-high torque direct drive set it apart from other products for Scratch DJ’s."

Here's the Scratchophone in action - Fade Wizard @ DMC Canadian final 2008

Tasty Tuesday!




Hey everyone, Mark Starr here dropping by for a quick second to deliver you some new goods from electro-madman Hatiras. First off is an original that essentially is my new weapon whenever some etarded/wasted skanktastic clubgoer decides to get all up in my shit when I'm DJing :)








Hatiras - Out My Face feat. We Don't Sleep (Original Mix)

Next up is the tasty wompwompbassline dancefloor destroyer, Tim Healey and Marc Adamo - Ghetto Blaster (Hatiras Remix). Excellent thick wobbly basslines, massive buildups and bodyshakin' groundbreak' beats make this a tune fresh enough for WMC and for all you electro DJs out there.

WMC, Yipee!


Well, that special event of the year is almost upon us - The Winter Music Conference is only weeks away!

Just like every year in Miami for this monumental event, there is a shit-ton of events planned. All of which I am sadly missing this year. I had to cancel our trip and an event that Team Jaguar (Andrea and I) were playing at WMC. We did this because we are hosting and performing at our party with the phenomenal Kraak and Smaak before they themselves head down to tear Miami a new one, so I think it's worth it.

Though I am not making the several hour long trip down to Miami, many of our other Penned Madness brethern and extended family are. And I would like to take this time to promote some of their individual events and showcase occuring during this, the Conference of Winter Music.

To do that, we have some special treats for you - Mini-Mixes!



Brought to you by the Awesomest of Agencies, Awesome Agency - Comes "AWESOME"


Ok, admittedly this is a bit before WMC (like tomorrow) and not even in Miami (more like Berlin) but the collection of mini-mixes of other artists set to perform throughout the conference is too good not to post.

All the artists below will be appearing SOMEWHERE in Miami during WMC - grab a copy of these mixes and get pumped and/or stoked. And if you happen to be in Berlin tomorrow, go get yourself some Awesome.

Big Thanks to Leo with Awesome Agency hooking us up with these mixes and Chris at Hot Pink Delorean for hooking us with Leo! More mixes to come!








Discobelle - Sell Out Mix - Sal Kirdkin








Hot Pink Delorean - WMC Minimix








Cobra Krames - 10 Minutes of Mayhem








ARVEENE & MISK - ATL 10 MIN MIX (192br)

Also during WMC (actually during WMC) and in Miami (where WMC happens) is Red Bull's "ONES 2 WATCH" party...

Featuring one other than two of our Penned Madness Writers - Mark Starr and DC/Glowtape! - and Hot Pink Delorean as well.



THIS is going to be a event to behold - truly a place where you know everyone performing will be giving it their all and blowing people's expectations away!

Cheers to you all - I wish you the best!

More mixes soon to come!

Dont step to me

Photobucket
Christian Bale flipped out,so my good friend Flufftronix made a remix of it!
Even sampled that old school Batman theme song.This song has been posted many other places , but this is pretty much the coolest song any of you have at 150 bpm.







Flufftronix - Bale Throwback mix

Here is a track I just finished up. "Harm" is a song for after 2 am , when things are kind of heavy and ..thick??? Long intro and outro for mixing , violent vocal samples , but still with my bassline sound Ive been working with..GET ER!
Photobucket







Figure - Harm(original mix)

I really don't have to tell you about this track, you can see that 'Wonk' is a part of it , so you know you have to get it. Full of bass and wobbles for days!







Frederik Mooij - Werd(Wonk Remix)

Now we got one from my good friend 'Teen Wolf'. This kid is playing out so much in L.A and the surrounding areas , and getting mad attention for his production and remix works! Here is a brand new one with a happy indy rock vibe to it!







Love You Long Time - All Night (Teen Wolf remix)

I've had this track for awhile now , 4 different people sent it to me and told me..no matter what..DONT SHARE IT. That was 3 months ago , and just now I found 7 different links to it on goggle , so I'm posting it. ITS SO GOOD! I'm pretty sure its sampling a scene from 'Bang Bus'. Need I say more??







Blatta & Inesha - Where is it?(original mix)

Same Bat time .. Same Bat channel

"Joke" Remixes Worth Blogging About...

Just as I get done questioning myself, blogs and the current state of remixable affairs...

I am saved by some of our favs, le Mustard Pimps.

With two remixes which they posted via a myspace bulletin, my faith in remixes has been restored...








Motorhead - Ace Of Spades (Mustard Pimp Remix)








Will Smith - Fresh Prince Of Bel Air (Mustard Pimp Remix)

Now, some may argue that these tracks are too "joke" remixes, but the artists being remixed here have had very successful careers in their music genre of choice - careers spanning decades not one-shot record deal, Goodwill bargain bin fodder...

You can clearly see the difference I am sure...

Thanks Mustard Pimps!

Peter Bjorn & John Have Something To Worry About


Peter Bjorn And John - Nothing To Worry About (Official Music Video) - More free videos are here

I'm not really quite sure what to think about this. I get the idea of the song, but it's not great. I also think that watching Japanese biker dudes dance like dumb asses is pretty great. But I feel like this might be the end of Peter Bjorn and John. If it hasn't already happened already.

- DC/GlowTape!

Another Shot at Something...


Seems like Don Diablo is everywhere nowadays, and with good reason. He's making fuckin' killer tracks, no question about that. Today, I opened an email containing a new Don Diablo remix - a remix of a Tila Tequila "song," "I Love You." and, I gotta tell you, it set me back...

Now we are not the only ones that got this email, oh no. Many, many bloggers across the sphere have received this track and if I know Hype Machine like I think I do - this will end up Number 1 on the popular page sometime within the next 13 and half minutes...








Tila Tequila - I love you (Don Diablo Remix)

Not that there's anything wrong with the remix, it is what it is... or anything wrong with Mr. Diablo himself, he's quite good at what he does...

My real question is; is this remix of fading star Tila Tequila worth posting or not?

I bet all the money in my pockets against all the money in your pockets that 99% of the readers of this blog (or any of the blogs that frequent blogrolls across the globe for that matter) would never play this song out in its original format normally... I certainly wouldn't and I am known for playing some off-the-wall, "did he really do that" shit in my sets...

Leads me to believe this is a "joke" remix... but is it a good joke?

There's joke tracks like Ludachrist's MARTA Girl number or Disco D's "Hug it Out Bitch" Bmore Edit...

But when does the line get crossed from "funny thing I saw on youtube" or "favorite catch-phrase" remixes which get a laugh for a little while to remixes of people, like Tequila, that actually think they have a shot (not pun intended) at being a music star. Ex: Paris Hilton, Brooke Hogan, either of Ozzy Osbourne's sons...

I mean, these people actually think that they can break out into the world of pop stardom -
Do remixes like these help or hurt them and their musical aspirations?
Is this an unofficial remix or did the Tequila camp contact Diablo for the mix?

Is it worth blogging about for the fact that one of the hardest working people in the remix scene did the mix?

Or is it postable simply for the fact that there are people like me asking, "why?"

I just don't know...

Build!


So I might be late on this dude - or right on time.... Anyway I was on twitter (sigh) and The Teenagers twitted (sigh) about this dude from London, Build, who did a remix of their track Feeling Better. And I loved it! It's like Fred Falke meets Miami Horror. Very dancey and pretty. I'm digging it. Nice of all - all the tracks on his myspace were up for free to download from his soundcloud page!!!!!








The Teenagers - Feeling Better (Build Remix)








Ladyhawke - Back of the Van (Build Remix)

Kentucky Smuggling


So, this is my first posting on Penned Madness, but not my first time being posted on here. Greeting P.M readers I'm Figure. For times sake, lets get the "who am I" thing out of the way with ease, through a interview! My friend Hugo at Smile For Camera gave me a great interview the other day, so if you want to know about me check it out here or my myspace

First we have UK head Coin Operated Boys remix of one of my own tracks 'Volume Pals.' I've played this track out many of times and it always seems to work. Out of all the remixes I had sent to me for my EP remix project,this one is one of my favorites!







Figure - Volume Pals(Coin Operated Boy Remix)
Bul!m!atron is one of my good friends, He hands me anything and everything he does, it's all quality work with a dirty punk feel to it. In my opinion this remix he did for Acid Jacks is one of his best remixes hands down. Good intro for mixing and a nice build up in the middle to get right into a nonstop synth fest.







Acid Jacks - Brains(Bul!m!atron Bmore remix)
Next, Ive been bumping this track for a hot minute now, BlackFinger is on point, but this remix from UMF by HeavyFeet just makes his banger of a track even harder.
16 in and 16 out, just the way I like it.







Blackfinger-UMF(HeavyFeet remx)

I'm going to say that's the end of my first post, expect every post of mine to have some new, hard, and always at 320.
