FridgeJet's Monthly Top 3

Hangovers (and the resulting lack of posts) aside, bring on the best three songs sourced via Hype Machine in the month of January - via the ears of FridgeJet.

1. Electric Soulside - Boccaccio (clip sourced via Hot Biscuits)

and

2. Electric Soulside - Insane Inside (clip sourced via Hot Biscuits)

Maybe we are just biased towards Potty Mouth Records, but these two brothers (Patrick and Steve Hoody) are just too good! Electric Soulside put together one of the best produced Potty Mouth EP's ever, complete with a Kelevra appearance. The EP had the two tracks showcased here in the Beatport top 3 downloads for January 2009 and is getting dropped by the biggest names in the business coming into the new year. No doubt the boys are smiling with their already successful string of releases continuing to make people jump - with the EP proving big things are still to come. The synthy electro glitch that the boys base a trademark upon will become increasingly recognisable in 2009, as more and more start to jump on the Electric Soulside bandwagon.

3. AC Slater - Party Like Us (Bulgarian Remix) (sourced via Palms Out Sounds)

Despite containing what I consider to be one of the more annoying vocal snippets ever created, this song is a switchboard of beats that just keeps dropping new ones as the song builds. The transitions are brilliant and just when you think the songs done and dusted it comes out with another drop! If this track is any demo of what the boys at 'Party Like Us Records' can do, its looking promising for the team. Check out all the appropriate paraphernalia below and get the tracks!

FridgeJet's December Christmas 3!

This months top three, while still delivering excellent performances by outstanding artists, may have been a little rushed due to Christmas commitments. That aside, it became evident that artists and producers may have the smallest holidays bar none, considering some of the EP work the UK fidget boys have got coming up (see what Calvertron and Heavyfeet are up to). Heavyfeet claim they are 'entering studio hibernation soon' which is a prize for all of us in the new year. Aside from that, Kelevra (UK again) is also throwing out Christmas cheer having just recently released his Clean Jeans EP via FridgeJets favourite label - Potty Mouth Records. Forget that, more about Kelevra later, here's the top three!

1. The Snipplers - All Around (Supabeatz Remix) (Thanks VoulesRandom)

From VoulesRandom

The Italian boys have been throwing together mixes for awhile and have plenty more to come, but this one caught my ear pretty well. Its racy like a Superbeatz song, its got a catchy sound and never shows any signs of weakness. What's more, the almighty (in my mind) Bloody Beetroots remixed 'Sexo Perfecto', the Supabeatz original - which makes them even better somehow!

2. The Bloody Beetroots - Cornelius (thanks !Tashed)

From !Tashed

Favorite DJ's therefore minimal description required. The Bloody Beetroots distinctive, hard charged sound skyrocketed their worldwide popularity, further enhance by the release of their highly anticipated EP, 'Rombo'. Pushing out remixes of The Kills, Robyn, MSTRKFT and The Crookers scribbled their distinctive style all over the scene and forced people to love them. 'Cornelius' is just what you would expect from a late 2008 EP offering from some of the best DJ's out of Italy (tied with Crookers?). To top it off, Bob Rifo compiled 'The Death of Cornelius', a musical reflection on the creation of the relatively mysteriously produced track (which Techijo went on to remix!). Check out what AsianDan had to say and listen to the overture here.

3. Kelevra & Nathan Boon - Like To Freak (Thanks Redthreat)

From Redthreat

Kelevra is absolutely killing it at the moment. I pulled this one from Redthreat after they were kind enough to throw Kelevra's EP up earlier in the month. The EP features remixes from DJ BamBam and Kyle Watson and is a full banger. Not only that, but the UK madman put together an excellent Potty Mouth mixtape, 'Midnight - 6am' (Dec 2008). Killer track selection and Kelevras 'cant fake it' style makes it worth the transfer to CD for a residency in your car.

Track Listing somewhere around here <--

Honourable Mention:

A mention must go to just one more UK killer, Hijack, who as promised has completed weekly mixes for the last three weeks. His third installment came through two days ago and is one of the better mixtapes I have set on repeat. Surprising considering he's doing them weekly. Check out the original post here and grab the mixtape if you haven't already! 

... once again the FridgeJet Monthly Top Three was sourced via Hype Machine entries.

Fridgejet's November Top 3 - #2

Well here we are, the second time around this month, throwing up the three best tracks of the month disregarding the fact that the claim has already been laid right here. While the previous three tracks are in no way overshadowed by the slightly late tracks below this text, I am digging the latter of the two posts. In finding issue two of the top three this month, I snapped up some goodies from Data Sapiens, Penned Madness and Discobelle respectively. No worries - the tracks were good and I couldn't find competition that had been posted within this month (and had not already appeared in my previous post).

Ps - to be honest, some of the production dates on these tracks are from other months, but the top 3 is based on Hype Machine aggregation.

1. Boys Noize - Lava Lava (Dada Life Guerilla Fart Edit #6) (Alt Link)

From Data Sapiens 

To be honest, it was all Boys Noize and very little Dada Life that made me have a listen to this song for the first time. Lucky I like Boys Noize, because it turns out Dada Life's got a lot of things going for them. Their remix does all the right things, amps the song up and makes you wanna pump it through the biggest speakers you can find. Dada Life have also thrown up an october mixtape (feat Crookers, MSTRKRFT, D.I.M etc) which is worth a look - check out the song and jump on their website (both the links are below).

2. DaTsu - Gnration909

From Penned Madness

Considering all three tracks in the first installment of Fridge Jets november top three were sourced from Penned Madness, I guess this fourth showing is considered an addiction. Oh well, DaTsu did some really nice work with the French producer/DJ mixing the best yet and Penned Madness did well to get a hold of it. Click on Datsu to worship and chant at the official website.

3. Verb Ft Don Rimini - Psssy Mind (Don Rimini Remix)

From Discobelle.net

Don Rimini - just typical Don Rimini. I guess you wouldnt go changing a good thing and with the French madman holding such a catchy and distinctive sound - the fan base is busting outwards. Well known for his heavy involvement, its never hard to find a new peice of work or a fresh mixtape from the Paris local. Oh look... there's one. Be sure to jump on his myspace too, with his involvement evident in the number of mixes, interviews, pictures and tour information. Click on the picture of Mr Rimini above to check it out.

FridgeJet's Top 3 - November #1

Woah - the guys and girls over at penned madness have managed to produce a triple threat this early in the month! 

What do I do....

... hold out in anticipation for the Crookers to magically twist out a mash up of Sawtooth Sucka and Foamo, or throw it all on the line and make the call for the three best songs of November only four days into the journey? Fine Penned Madness, i'll do six this month! So what's so great about these three I hear you ask. Well the Bloody Beetroots twist out a relaxing, down tempo and lyrical 'butter' styled track while Misio puts his twist on the decibel blaring DJ Barletta. Finally, neOn smashes 'Fukt' to a pretty impressive dimension.

Wait, where is all this goodness from? Penned Madness!

Robyn - Cobrastyle (Bloody Beetroots Remix)

DJ Barletta - Bass Live (Misio Bootleg)

Teenwolf - Fukt (neOn Remix)

Fridgejet's Top 3 - October

Each month i'll search around for music goodness and come the closing days of the month, I will collaborate and summarise - putting the best three tracks into a post and ready for you. The top three will be a combined effort, which is brought to you by the artist for completing the track, the source from which I found the song (blog/CD/release) and myself - responsible for the reincarnation of the song, right here. 

Enough of the technicalities! This month 'DJ Lobsterdust' starred on White Folks Get Crunk for his Goin' Down mash up which took out first place respectively for its smooth lyrics and catchy beat. Second place, regardless of how long it takes before you consider a song old, goes to Adam Bozzetto for 'Disco' - a true Monastery beat! Pryda managed to snatch up third, throwing themselves on Penned Madness for their consistent and simple 'Rakfunk' offering. The repetitive track provides a beat that impresses for the duration of the song without needing any significant sound edits - nice!

1. DJ Lobsterdust - Goin' Down (Young Joc vs Elite Force) (White Folks Get Crunk)

2. Adam Bozzetto - Disco (Promo)

3. Pryda - Rakfunk (Penned Madness)
