Deckhead 2.0

Caution, this post is going to contain a lot of name dropping of various blogs and artists.

Today I have some tunes from UK based babe Florrie, she started out as the drummer in UK drummer with the house band at Xenomania and now she is releasing tracks as a solo singer and has been creating some serious hype in the blogosphere.

Her debut single 911 was remixed by the king of cool Fred Falke with the remix being featured at the LG Toronto Fashion week. Ever since the original was released the hype for her has been building, some of the raddest blogs around have already featured her including Discodust, StoneyRoads and TooManySebastians have already fallen in love with this new queen of the pop world. Discodust have gone so far and labelled her as “one of the most promising upcoming female pop artists”.

Her latest single is called Panic Attack and comes with free remixes by Justin Faust, Bit Funk and of course Fred Falke, which you can get over at Discodust. South Australian boys Def Starr have also been charged with doing remix work for her and they have come up with a funky remix and a pretty cool dub version. Def Starr might not be the one of the biggest names in Australian dance music, but based on their recent production, 2010 could just be the year that they start to build a name and reputation for themselves and the tiny town of Radelaide. The boys have been doing some pretty big parties of late having already hosted Classixxx at their Def Starr & Friends party, and soon will be hosting Breakbot at their second installment and djing all over the trap in Radelaide.

*Note: its actually called Adelaide, and it isn’t that small

Props to Stoneyroads & Toomanysebastians for jumping on the bandwagon first with these two fantastic remixes.

I really wonder what a Boobmonster would look like? Is it some kind of wonderful monster which will make all the guys in the world happy, or is it a trick to lure people in before the monster destroys them? Anyway this boobmonster has done a pretty good job at remixing Oasis’s anthem Wonderwall, he has done this with Sydney boy Taras.

The Deckheads have started a new weekly residency playing on Thursday nights at The Rouge (AKA Moulin) in Kings Cross Sydney, I am pretty excited because next week Beni is playing and Def Starr have been flown in especially for the show from Radelaide. Here is their latest remix which is currently killing the blogosphere

The Killers are amongst the few mainstream bands that I can listen to and will enjoy their stuff no matter what, this obsession first started when I heard their tracks Mr Brightside & Somebody Told Me, and today I have a remix of Somebody Told Me. It is by Sydney producer Redial, this remix is another win from the boy after a series of strong tracks from him. Its a harder track by Redial compared to his recent works, its going back to the heavy hitting basslines that people throughout the world fell in love with.
