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.

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.

More of JCEDIT

Jack Carter aka JCEDIT just sent over his bass ridden, catchy remix of MSTRKRFT's highly popularised single 'Bounce'. In the middle of playing alongside Australia's biggest DJ's at Fuck Fluro (Knife Machine, Van She Tech etc), JCEDIT worked his style into the already catchy beat and produced his best remix yet. If his remix of Bounce is indicative of his current form, JCEDIT has only been on his way up since we last raved about him here on Fridge Jet. Check out the track and for more details, hit THIS!

RDCTBR (Why not MSTRKRFT?)

Although RDCTBR (Red October) doesn't quite share the popularity of his vowel removing counterparts, the 18 year old from Melbourne's happy to prove he's got big things coming. At such a young age, Rob has already managed to released five remixes, numerous edits and 'Don't Stop', his debut original. This successfully splashed RDCTBR across blogs, featuring on KissAtlanta alongside many other popular blogs, gaining the publicity RDCTBR is happy to admit he wants. The songs here are not brand new, and while the young gun still hunts for a place to sign, his announcement of two upcoming remixes proves he is still working some magic on the decks. Technicalities aside, RDCTBR's music is choppy, addictive and very worth a listen. Check out the tracks, visit the links and tell everyone about him!

While on the topic of vowel opposing DJ outfits, MSTRKRFT are currently on their 'Fist of God' tour, filling floors around America and giving everyone a reason to purchase their new album, expected January 2009. The Toronto duo, who have now amassed over 30 remixes, had me listening to them on repeat with their catchy release, 'Vuvuvu'. Click the poster for tour dates and information.
