MONDAY MORNING


Like many of our posts, today's will follow very little structure, chopping and changing like a Surecut Kids set if you must. We like it that way, do you?


The reason rise of underground DJ's remixing commercial tunes is about as prominent as the increase in DJ/hip hop collaborations. Perhaps its the anti-mainstreams way of reaching a new target audience, or even just a way for lesser known producers to prove they can better what the 'stars' do. Either way, we feel its a very 'swing or miss' situation, so when Bassjackers and Apster took on the role of remixing NERD's highly popular 'Everyone Nose' tune, eagerness set in. Turns out they did it right. Should we be surprised? No.


Once again we bring you a few offerings from our good mates over at Brain Matters. Like always, we don't really care if its Brain Matters, Benson or Northie - you know anything thats sent from their neck of the woods oozes quality. This time we've got Bensons take on the very interesting and comical 'Men In Black' tune by Will Smith. It's a cool bootleg he knocked up for a set in Melbourne the other weekend, needless to say it would have gone down a treat! The latter of the two is a Brain Matters take on the highly popular 'Parlez Vou Francais' tune by Art vs Science. To be honest, while we love the Hey Now remix, it's pretty damn refreshing to hear an alternate version for once! You'll love both these tunes so hit download and thank the boys for providing you with yet another serving of audible goodness!

While these two tunes definitely don't fall under our usual style, we thought we should post them for all the tech and prog heads out there. They are both full, well produced tracks the incorporate a range of samples and synths - providing catchy and polished final production efforts. They were sent over to us by 'Its a promo thing' and we have to thank the guys for all the tracks they send us week in week out. Hope you enjoy the unique sound, and if your feeling it, be sure to nab the EP on Beatport!

Bonus?


Tracky Tuesday



Who cares about the lame name and no this is not a regular thing, but heres some tunes! They are a cross section of goodness from our inbox, new and old. Some of them you may have heard and some you may have not. More importantly though, you should thank B. Rich, UK Fidget Mafia and the Brain Matters DJ's for sending them threw to us. Nice guys hey?



B. Rich - February 2010 Promo Mix (tracklist in comments)
You all know what we think of B.Rich and his awesome production efforts so there isn't too much to say for this one. The friendly US DJ/Producer has given out a full EP to celebrate his upcoming UK tour plus a fresh 2010 mixtape for your car stereo. Hit him some thanks right here and be sure to follow his shit up on Beatport!

We don't know much about these boys and they really didn't tell us all that much, but we think if your into the heavy driving basslines that are constantly coming out of labels like Champion Beats, Flexual Records etc, your in for a treat with these two!

As you should already know, Northie + Benson = Brain Matters. They did a 10 minute mini mix late last year for Nova Radio and its quite a cool little mix. It includes a number of their own tunes, some offerings from the likes of Carl Tricks, Mstrkrft, Bingo Players, Dan Aux and a bunch more. Enjoy :)

DONE!

Brain Matters. It Does.


Well haven't we been shit lately. Don't worry, it's in our minds and its playing tricks on our heart, but uni finals sucked by the way. Consider this post the beginning of our 5 part reconciliation. With a tonne to catch up on and an overflowing inbox, ill give you a few tasters now to settler your stomach. Watch out for Adam Bozzetto's post, a bunch of sweet EP features, a few mixtapes and a bunch more, all very soon!


For now, let us chat about the Brain Matters DJ's. Legend has it they formed in a club when their output levels found a completely harmonic state - what's that even mean? Hmm maybe we made that up. Anyway, Northie and Benson make up the crazy duo, and you all know how much we love those guys. We raved about Northie a month or two ago and gave you a bunch of his tunes, but consider this post further insight into the crazy life that kid lives! This time round the two conjured up a crazy remix of Hey Now's tune 'Bring That' which can't go down anything other than a treat. The links to praise the two are scattered around the post so be a motivated citizen and following them up with some feedback!

Hey Now - Bring That (Brain Matters Remix)

Only the beginning. x

Northie YO!!


Having grown up spinning around a plethora of records and CDs, it's no surprise we find ourselves talking about this young chap come our pleasant, and dustless, Thursday evening. The kid does quite a bit more than your average 19 year old and he's not one to give himself a wrap, so let's sit here and do it for our friendly friend NORTHIE!

Having entered the game a year or two back from the Central Coast, Northie bumped his way into the scene before making it pretty damn obvious he should of been there a long time prior. Given that he has an unrivaled set of skills and determination that completely contradicts your average wigged-out teenage stereotype, it's pretty damn hard to find where Northie can go wrong! Bring on the modern day and the good kid from Sydney spends his time as the whole of Northie, half of the
Brain Matters DJ's and the spearhead of 'Heres Johnny Promotions', giving you three detrimental reasons to jump on the overflowing bandwagon and get your dose of this popular hot shot.

The ripper Sydney local and good friend of FridgeJet has sent through a few of his catch free offerings to which I have found myself a severe addiction to. Who gives a funk about nutritional value on these suckas, with how tasty Northie's tunes are, even if they are bad for you it's worth the crack! Snap up these three suckers, check him out when he headlines at the next
Disco Disco alongside Pablo Calamari and praise the cool kid at ALL the links below!

Northie - Looking Fresh (Fresh Prince Bootleg)
Northie - JSided (Jesse Rose, Justin Timberlake, Kelis Mashup)

Myspace, Facebook, Twitter, Beatport !!

Enjoy, Sammy.
