SLAM: Positive Education / Intensities In-Ten-Cities

Barbra Streisand

Barbra Streisand. Nuff said.

The Electro Wars

Hrmmm.. a new documentary about the rise of electro, bloghause and the noughties club scene? Why not. Might seem a little bit outdated at some parts already, but still looks quite interesting.

Bubble Bath

Bubble baths are fun! So is this song! Hooray! Out now on the mighty Modular label!

Manhooker

Here it is - the new Azari & III single. And what a great title it has: "Manhooker". In finnish we have the expression "mihu", which pretty much describes a manhooker. So this goes out to all them mihus all around the the globe!

BTW: this song is so much darker and moodier stuff than what the previous Azari singles Reckless (For Your Love) and Hungry For The Power led us to expect from them. Awesome, claustrophobic stuff for the darkroom parties, full of mihus.

So Smooth, So Deep

Freestyle Track of the Day // Bettina: Destiny

Like whoa!

From the comments section:

"I love how you put together these videos. I wrote, arranged & produced "Destiny" I'm also the "Ah Shut Up" voice in the Loqueria mix, my friend does the Fix The House voice. We were actually fixing a house before we got to the studio. LOL That's how we came up with that."

At 1.13: 'Everybody in the house...'

After Alppila's 1980s Classic of the Day it's my turn.

The 1990s House Classic of the day: The Tinmen: 18 Strings. THE ORIGINAL VERSION, not the later official single version which had the guitar chords altered, mind you. This was the track to rip your shirt off, jump on to the podium stage thingy and Party Like a Rockstar at Botta in 1994, yeah I know... LOL!

Eli's Glass House

Eli Escobar is a way good dj and a friend of Finland who remembers to visit Helsinki often enough. He's also got the coolest music blog and he's a sought-after remixer, putting out official remixes as well as nice bootles (like this one on a Top Billin EP, for example). But the man is a renaissance hero: he's even done some tracks of his own. Like this new one called Glass House. And it has a really nice throwback video.

Kriton At Fillarikorjaamo Club

All right, us Kriton Boys have been booked to spin dem funky rekkids at the Fillarikorjaamo Club in the Korjaamo in Töölö every first Friday of the summer months, starting this week. First at the terrace, then later inside the club. The sound selection will be eclectic to the max and it'll be hot & sweaty fo'sho. We'll be there in different constellations with some others kids spinning vinyl too. There'll be plenty of other cycling-related activities there too, read more here and see yo'all out there! 

Danger Danger

I was really into some crappy hair metal bands back in the 80's when i was a school kid. Like not even just Poison, Winger, Ratt, Warrant and Dokken, but even ones that weren't as popular, but still equally crappy. Like Danger Danger from New York. They looked (and sounded) like bunch of little girls, but i didn't care. And at least their first album cover was pretty cool - in a geeky airbrush way (see above).

And all this blabbering leads me to this: last friday i met this nice dude named Jan at the Cocomotion club and he said that he has a blog called Danger Danger. And not just any old blog, but actually a really cool one. A music one. So unless you're still into crap hair metal, go check it out!

KWAITO! Sghubu sa Pitori // DJ Mujava: Township Funk

The sound of NOW!

Deep from the townships of South Africa. Tropical bloghouse, anyone?

Thomas Bangalter Knows Savate!

Daft Punk Thomas Bangalter getting it on in da club, with his Ed Banger electro warriors! 

Kicking some nasty bouncer's ass because someone of their gang was not let into the V.I.P, apparently. And probably all coked-up for good measure. 

Vive La France! 

FYI: Savate is mad french O.G. kick-boxing type of skill for kicking some ass.

A True Classic: Ten City - That's The Way Love Is (Acieed Mix)

Can I Get A Club RMX Of This?

Tallinn Junkie Goes Wild! Raving w/ Ass-slapping Routine!

The capital city of our southern neighbor Estonia, Tallinn, is a very very beautiful town but it also still has some pretty rough Soviet-era pre-fabricated housing estates with some serious social problems. Lasnamäe and Mustamäe being two of these. 

Well, check out the videos above and see a Lasnamäe local getting it on. I'd say after enjoyinga pretty health dose some amphetamines. In fact it's a well known fact how back in the Soviet times many east European countries, especially Poland, produced lots of really strong amphetamines and other similar chemicals, sometimes know as 'Polish Soup'. 

And below here's the freestyle version of the same guy, this time with some music, ie. even better. The dude knows how to 'move his body'. 

Swedish Disco Love. From Me 2 You.

New weeks, new tricks. And I'm not meaning those freestyle bike tricks Kanye is probably right now working hard to perfect on his Vigorelli track bike for his next video.

Anyhow, for some strange reason I'm really feeling THIS SONG right now: 
The Sounds - Tony the Beat (Rex the Dog Remix)

Of course it's good only because Rex The Dog remixed the original boring-ish power pop fake punk track into nice bouncy electro disco version.

And yeah, the singer chick sounds pretty hot too, in that special nasty way, with the heavy swedish accent, dirty voice, provocative lyrics and all. 

'Uuuuh baby, ja, ja, hej vill du festa med mig, vad, eller hur?'. She sounds like the type of chick you'd like to meet, yet be scared of meeting, in trendy bar at Södermalm when you're already drunk on mellan öl and in high on party mood. Don't even try to deny you wouldn't...

(FYI: Maybe I need to point out here that the singer is actually -unfortunately- neither of the girls on the cover of The Sounds' album  above. In fact, I remember reading somewhere that those lovely ladies on the cover shot are some fab real-life NYC scenesters...)
