Once again Melbourne artist are setting the standards in quality for Australian electronic music, today I have a killer promo on behalf of the X & Hell boys, they are a Melbourne based electronic/rap duo. For the past few years I have been slowly monitoring how the lyrics of X & Hell and the brilliant production of Styalz Fuego (aka the man who discovered of Bangs) would work, and too be honest I have yet to be disappointed.
Here is what the promo said about these tracks:
From the warm familiarity of the opening synth lines, borrowed from Real Life’s 1983 smash hit single Send Me An Angel, to the pounding drums and haunting vocals of X & Hell, the boys along with co-producer Styalz Fuego have delivered their most attention grabbing, memorable single yet..
Remix duties have gone to the self proclaimed King Of Pap and newly found Freshmaker Tom Piper who’s steered away from his more underground sound to deliver some peaktime fire and the Dublin Aunts who have smashed their mix and concocted some serious club food for your hungry punters..
Tom Piper’s remix is as fresh as ever, where the dublin aunts remix is almost a kind of nurave! Both brilliant examples of how to balance the original lyrics and sounds with their own adaptation.

One of the original site’s favorite sons were The Hump Day Project, the fascination started when I would often see them playing around Sydney dying to get my hands on their bootlegs and remixes, until one day the opportunity to interview them came my way. Their tracks were an instant success on Deckhead and the interweb, with their remix of Waters Of Nazareth getting to number 1 on hypem, and everytime I blogged their tracks they would frequent the hypem popular pages. In the year that has followed their reputation has exploded in Australia with them regularly booking gigs country wide and slowly started releasing official remixes including for Oh Snap!
The thing that has dissapointed me about the relaunch is that we have not yet blogged anything by the boys, after some discussion we decided that this was not good enough and this post is how we are going to change that. Today on offer I have three of their latest remixes, they are actually official releases for three different record labels so the tracks are in low quality.
Here is what Steve Lind said about the tracks:
“I just wanted to share some tunes we’ve done that push the tempo but I think are still accessible and nothin to be afraid of. I guess in posting these I hope other dj’s and producers will break out of the 130bpm bubble and have fun with this crazy shit called dance music.”
All these tracks are 128kbps

Don’t forget to support the artists and record labels by purchasing the full quality tracks on Beatport and you can catch THDP djing live at the Blog Party on November 13 at Moulin Rouge. Facebook Event. Their sets are a mixture of awesome, at times they are Baltimore inspired, other times electro, hip-hop or even ‘Ghetto Inspired Funk’ and more recently they have added a touch of dubstep to each set.
