All tracks posted are for promotional use only. So I suggest that after listening to the tracks you buy them, because artists need coke too (both the sniffing and drinking kind.)
Hey Digikid 84 you’re pretty awesome. Oh and hey Bestrack I think you’re remixes are dope – can you make babies and then upload them onto soundcloud for me because I spend most of my Internet life there? You will? Nice.
So this song is a product of that ^^ And it is amazing and will make you want to take your pants of and rub on some velvet. It sounds like Danger but not so Danger-y. You’ll get it when you listen to it. All that amazing crap is accompanied by delcious vocals and stomp worthy drums. Heaven is a remix by Bestrack…

I don’t think Free Tunes Tuesday will continue, but hey, today I have found a fat stash of awesome tracks that are being given away for free, so why not share?
SBTRKT – Hold On (Them Jeans) free download
I saw Them Jeans play in Melbourne a fair few months ago and he was pretty banging and so so tall. This mix is a great take on SBTRKT’s amazing sound (which has a crazy cult-like following). I made the mistake of ignoring SBTRKT for as long as I could because I thought ‘SBTRKT’ sounded like a dubstep producer. Yeah I know… mistakes.
Sandra – Maria Magdalena (Satin Jackets & Chris Jylkke Krautrock Edition) free download
So don’t let the first 5 seconds of this track throw you off – it almost did the same for me, but I have faith the Satin Jackets outfit (lol pun) and knew this would be a deep groover and I was correct.
Azari & III – Reckless With Your Love – Pscyhemagik Remix free download
So Psychemagik makes this remix er well, magical. The best way to describe this track is that it’s a dark 3am tune that you would find yourself singing along to – yes even the chopped vocals. I love the way it eases into the track, starting off slowly with the drum beat and delicately adding all the different elements of the track – it just builds like a dream. Hold out until 3:05 
Riva Starr & Fat Boy Slim – Get Naked (Louis La Roche ‘Is It Summer Yet’ Remix) free download
Well yes Louis, it is Summer in Australia so come here… But this is a summery remix that turns this track into a stringy masterpiece. I just want to take off my clothes and dance on a beach drinking really aesthetically pleasing cocktails. Cannot fathom why this is free…
So that is the free tune roundup for today. Get on it and click the download button before they attempt to snatch back the gifts they offered us so tantalizingly.

Tonight I am going to see Justice’s new live show. ‘Excited’ doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of the feelings that are buzzing about inside me right now. This will be Justice’s first solo live show. They premiered their live show at Field Day. Yeah Australia got something before EVERYONE else for once – ha and it’s awesome.
I know a few people who went to Field Day and are coming back down for tonight; apparently seeing it is highly addictive (which i completely understand). Check out the footage from Field Day here and get jealous/excited:
If that isn’t exciting enough, throw on Audio, Video, Disco and have a practice run, because you will have to be prepared for the mammoth occasion that will be JUSTICE LIVE (how dramatique of me). So besides old classics (what a stupid thing to say – they’re all classix) like Stress, Genesis and We Are Your Friends, what tracks are you busting to see live? Mine are…
Justice – Horsepower
Justice – DVNO
And here’s something to dance to before you head out
Justice – On’n'On (Brodinski Remix)
See you at Festival hall

Let me start by apologizing for being so late on realizing the existence of this magnificent EP. James Curd has always been a favorite of mine and I don’t even know where to begin to explain why, but if I must let’s do it with just random words (it’s more fun this way): uh Greenskeepers, Defected, awesome, Chi Town, has cool glasses, that remix of Juan Maclean, ridiculously awesome. That isn’t all of it, but I’m sure you get the jist.
So I’m on Beatport going through Bang Gang’s latest releases and I see a James Curd one I haven’t heard before. I pause, share some self deprecating comments with myself for not having heard it before, press play, check the month, omgomg it was released in October?! Surely it can’t be good if it slipped through my fingers like this, nope, pretty sure it’s fucking excellent, I just suck. After doing a quick search, turns out this EP hasn’t gotten as much love as I thought it would? Not to worry, Futuristic de Silencio is on it!
James Curd – Man vs Machine
This is a funky track that will undoubtedly leave everyone bopping up and down at least one part of their body (lol seksual innuendo). It has a real discotheque vibe to it, leaving me imagining hot vintage ladies in gold jumpsuits and rollerblades cutely seducing men just by mouthing the “ooh oooohs”.
James Curd – Moon
So this is the track that had me sold. Surely the first 5 seconds will do the same for you. It is a deep drivey track which is really catchy and has a great hook.
James Curd – Decadence
This has a bit of a different vibe to the other two tracks. Lots of piano and the bells give it a slight midnight tropical vibe. For some reason, this track leaves me a little poignant… delicious nonetheless.
James Curd – Moon (Luke Solomon’s Mega Mix)
While the other remix in this EP doesn’t really do much different to the track, the Luke Solomon Mega Mix is bangin. It adds an extra dimension, drums, bells and whistles which make it a great summer track – timely considering it is sa hot here right now.

We’re all pretty familiar with Tyson’s Die On The Dancefloor, no? With rad remixes from Mickey and Headman we were all pretty content and chuffed to shuffle our feet to that beat. Well happiness can only ensure with a Round Table Knights remix because quite frankly, when you see a remix by these guys you have a pretty good idea that it will be something special. And special it is. It is uplifting, deep and funky, bringing a fresh new take on the classic Tyson track. So get it here while it’s still as hot as your ex girlfriend’s new boyfriend.

If you’re super keen to get your hands on this audible gold, you’ll have to wait until January 16th but until then Soundcloud has you covered

You may or may not have heard of a guy going by the name of Sam Padrul but if you haven’t you are surely missing out. With an alluring track safely tucked away in his arsenal, Sam Padrul has a sound that is funky, tantalizingly fun and more than anything he will have you hooked. If you’re intrigued, check out his music and read my conversation with Chicago’s newest talent. We talk being forward with the ladies, Oprah’s lusty figure and Chicago house.
Q Congratulations on your amazing song, All I Do. It is wonderfully addictive and has great lyrics. Are you usually that forward with the ladies?
SAM Thank you, I am really pleased with the result, and I am grateful for the wonderful feedback! I love that you used the word “addictive” because I feel like I’m ready to release a song to the public when I myself can’t stop listening to it!
With regards to lyrics, I’ve never been much of a poetic person. When I listen to music, I rarely pay attention to the lyrics, but rather, the voice to me is another instrument in the band, and so the rhythm and melody of the vocals are what matter. So, while I don’t want to undermine the time spent on them, the lyrics were really a practical means to a musical end, to achieve the rhythm and melody of the vocals that I was humming to myself awkwardly while waiting for the bus. To answer your question, I suppose I’ve said some pretty forward things to a few ladies in my day. Not sure whether I’ve actually told a girl “I want you in my bed” but I wouldn’t put it past myself!

SAM I often begin a day in the studio with a brief prayer to Oprah to seek her guidance, asking humbly of her to bestow upon me inspiration and creative juices to produce funky and catchy music. I have a shrine of her overseeing my studio.
Apart from Chicago’s chocolatey talk show queen, Chicago has been chock-full of inspiration for me as a growing musician and music fan. I’ve been listening to Chicago House music since I was about 12 years old, and I’ve been a big Derrick Carter fan for ages! I’ve always been fascinated by Chicago’s house music history, and not long ago I went to go see CZR and Paul Johnson at a Chicago lounge. What I love about house music is how unifying it is. It has a mesage of peace and unity, not agression, bling, and ho’s (sorry to offend any ho’s). When I was in high school, my friends and I would go to these DJ sets hosted by the City of Chicago in our main park downtown, and the diversity was really amazing. Race, background, age, orientation, none of it really matters with house music.
Apart from Chicago House, I have always been a fan of Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney, etc. Their music has so much beauty in them! Just recently, I’ve been listening to Bill Wither’s “’Bout Love” album, which gave me some inspiration in my next track, which I’ll release soon.
SAM No, but I’ve spent many nights perched in trees outside of her home hoping to see her!
Q When I think Chicago I think Chicago house. Was it difficult to break away from that or is there a different, less documented side to the Chicago music scene?
SAM Chicago doesn’t have such a bustling music scene. What it does have, for better or worse, is an abundance of DJ’s. I think our city is a little over saturated with DJ’s, and I would love to see some more incubation of local artists and producers. Who knows, maybe I can change that? But, we have great talent such as Gemini Club and Hey Champ out here, all of whom are awesome guys and make amazing music.
SAM Indeed, I did the vocals and chord arrangement myself. I played piano for several years, but I certainly didn’t take any sort of vocal lessons (autotune can help with that!). I also was dragged to alot of classical music concerts as a kid, so I was exposed to a lot of classical music in that respect too. It gave me a great sense for true musicality. After listening to a lot of music from a young age, I’ve concluded that there is an objective truth to music, and that humans are wired to react positively to correctly structured music, which maybe can be called “catchiness”. So, I’ve sat at my keyboard for a long time trying to understand what true catchiness is. Hopefully I’ve gotten to the bottom of it!
Q I consider you an expert in what you do. So as an expert, do you think Oprah and Stedman have the staying power to last as a couple?
SAM If they can’t last, is there any hope for any of us?
SAM Hm, Mark comes off as a nice guy but is actually an asshole and an idiot. Jeremy comes off as a prick but is actually kind of sweet and innocent. Aren’t we all a little bit Mark, and a little bit Jeremy?
SAM My desires are simply to make music. It is my calling in life, and I could ask nothing more than to make good music for people. When I say that I want to make money off of it, I mean that I want to be able to sustain myself while doing what I love, not to live an extravagant pretentious lifestyle that probably most aspiring musicians dream of. Its just a true passion of mine.
Currently, I’m not really too interested in signing with any labels (unless its Fool’s Gold, Ed Banger, or any major record labels, of course!). Right now, I just want to get my music out there, and spread the joy! If I could choose any producers to work with, it would definitely be Breakbot or Philippe Zdar. I just feel like we would get eachother!
