Sure, we threw away the genre constraints that we so openly admit limit Fridgejet's broad minded constraints, but Shazam is just too feel good not to! Like always In The Mix dropped their weekly free download fresh out every monday and this week it was from Perth producer Shazam. With his 'Pool Party' EP just dropped via the very popular Bang Gang 12 Inches label, it was just too hard to pass up. Pool Party was one of our favorite songs to drink a Corona by the pool in late 2008 and with its official release passing now, this had to grab a mention! 'Luckier' is a very downtempo feel good, disco styled song, and its evident that Shazam has had plenty of practice in his producing efforts, having spent the past year remixing the likes of Muscles (which made it onto Digitalism's Kitsune Tabloid mix back in '08) and obviously working on his production, its good to see the EP drop! Check it out and jump on and buy the EP HERE.

A Rare Occurrence
Yep, thats right, its on time. This week In the Mix provided one of the best, all round impressive download links to ever grace their page. Showcasing Sia's original 'Buttons' would have been enough to wow the crowds, but they decided to throw up Chris Lakes very catchy spin on the song. In The Mix summed up Sia's success and all its drivers perfectly, so check out the page to get the lowdown on why many will be excited when she makes the trek to Australia later this month. But what about Chris Lake? He's got a bunch of relaxing, melodic house hits including 'If You Knew' (featuring vocals from Nastala) and 'Only One', all of which provide his big room house followers the opportunity to jive to his eclectic live sets. Use this track as an example of what the British DJ/producer can do.

Out Of The Shadows
Their remixing is worldwide and has been recognised and encorperated by the likes of A-trak, The Ed Banger Crew, Chromeo and Mr Oize, finally the debut album for Shadow Dancer drops and trust me - its a treat! The Manchester boys have just dropped 'Golden Traxe' via the highly popular Boys Noize label and success is imminent. Described by our favorites over at In The Mix, the album encorporates their sound of electronica, acid house and space disco - and it all busts through on the complimentry track for this week (In the Mix are great arn't they?) Jump the links and say hi to them on their Myspace before the tune dominates your I-pod.

Heavy ITM
This week ITM delved deep into Freq Nasty's world and dropped 'Peacemaker', a track from his new album. Incase you don't know, Freq Nasty is dropping some mean underground stuff over in London and it's no surprise he's gained the attention of our switched on Australian nightlife experts. I find the mix heavy and almost cluttered at times, but regardless its a technical mix executed very well. Check out the track (this week only) and jump on the links!
P.S - Incase you were wondering, each week, In The Mix (Australia's leading nightlife and dance music guide) offer a complimentary download. Hopefully, on every given Monday, we provide a link to their page here. Cool?
ITM brings Buraka Som Sistema?
Buraka Som Sistema fuse native Angolan Kuduro sounds with electro orientated beats. They are very good but are not like the typical Fridgejet DJ's - but hey, its always good to try something new.
While their sound puts out a very unique feeling, Buraka Som Sistema ARE like some artists you may have heard before. They share a similar sound with the always daring M.I.A (Steve Aoki labeled their set at Coachella one of the pinnacle moments of 2008) and has roots that must have stemmed from artists like Diplo and Bondo De Role. Their sound was enough to (albeit perhaps only for one post) break away from the fidgety, sweat driven dance tracks that usually arrive in my inbox. Fridgejet feels proud in having the chance (via the help of In The Mix) to bring you this international flavored electro ghetto funk - fresh from the trio's debut album 'Black Diamond'. Enjoy and appreciate a sound that tears away from musical genre's and the constraints that come with them.
Buraka Som Sistema - Work it Rewire (one week only!)
Ps - the boys are on their Australian tour, doing various stops including the Laneway Festivals in Perth, Adelaide and Sydney.
InTheMix with Gang Bangers
Not quite, but definitely in the hood considering Melbourne's Damn Arms are pushing nice tracks out on Bang Gang 12 Inches. January marks the release of their first single on the label and its looking to be good. Like always, In The Mix has the hook ups and throws it up for everyone exclusively for one week only. Check out what they have to say and snap it up ASAP!
Vacations in Sydney
I wish.
Vacations Records (home to many of Bass Kleph and Stupid Fresh's releases) have teamed up with Sydney local fRew and his one off vocalist, Jess Higgs, to pump out a pretty nice house tune. I was happy to see fRew featuring on the In The Mix this week and 'I Got Something' is exactly what you would expect from the hot shot. Nice underlying bass line that Jess Higgs smashes vocals all over has a pretty good effect on the ears, so jump on In The Mix, check out the artists and download the track!
Diversity
Last week, In The Mix gave a visual offering of American trio N*E*R*D performing live and while it was very different to the usual, it was enjoyable none the less. This week, In The Mix proves their a diverse lot by providing a song on the outskirts of the genre set they usually play. Kid Sister (remember her single 'Pro Nails' with Kanye?) teams up with David Banner to push out the sort of song that will be on 2 hour rotation on all the local radio stations within the month. While its certainly going to get flogged (obviously not in clubs), the song is a good piece of production and worth a listen. Thanks In The Mix!
Ps - If you like Kid Sisters style, check out her single 'Pro Nails' and all the remixes available:
Kid Sister - Pro Nails (Bag Raiders Remix)
Kid Sister - Pro Nails (Simian Mobile Disco Remix)
Kid Sister - Pro Nails (Chico Love Remix)
BONUS:
The Outrunners/Kid Sister - Pro Nails vs Cool Feeling (Them Jeans Blend)
ITM Weekly Remixed
This week, In the Mix provided a free download link of a different kind. Filling the lucky 'inthemix.com/freedownload' slot was not a fresh club track or dirty Bass Kleph mix but rather a video of American trio N*E*R*D. The short film showcases the rehearsals and antics before the show, the live performance and everything in between. Definitely different to the usual offering you would find in The Fridge but change is good. Check out the video, if you like it fork out some money for the 2009 Future Music Festival which the American boys are headlining. Check it out!
Wake Up - It's here!
This week, In The Mix gave the royalities to Melbourne boyfriend/girlfriend duo ZZZ. Somehow, their catchy music is described as a mix of shoegaze, live electronics and melodramatic pop song - but it just turns out to be all fun. Very different to the usual Fridge Jet material, but worth a shout out, especially considering it came out on Bang Gang Inches! Jump on ZZZ's myspace and if you like the track, snap up their EP out now.
Extra Bass by Bass Kleph
As per usual, monday morning right on time In The Mix provided readers with a download link to a fresh track and as per usual, its a keeper. Vacation records most recent signing Ben Colin gave them something to cheer about with his latest release, Doov. More so, Bass Kleph and Northie did their thing on the track making the release look pretty tempting. ITM decided to go with Bass Kleph's remix of the song (Check out Northie's remix here) and it definitely goes down a treat. The 'extra bass edit' suggests typical Bass Kleph and while its obvious he's laid down plenty of low EQ, the song never goes too crazy. Check out the In The Mix article and download the song!
100% Home Grown
Apparently this track makes history as it becomes the first three-way collaboration from our very own nations capital, Canberra. Sweet. Anyway, D'Opus & Roshambo's brand new single caught the sights of Karton Radio, who pumped up the indie sounds into a pretty charged dancefloor track. It's a good collective effort (although not my favoured style) and impressive to see it all straight from Canberra. Check the link this week only.
ITM - Swing and a Miss
There wont be an In the Mix post this week within the Fridge. The free download is still available at this location. Sometimes two tastes just don't go together however many of you are sure to enjoy Girl Talk. New Brissy local stuff coming soon so check back.
Don Diablo and Noisia Mixing
This week In The Mix got in the Queensland spirit of Stereosonic and shouted out to one of the many international visitors making the trek to the sunny state. Don Diablo makes the journey from Holland to tear up the decks at all the stops of Stereosonic 2008 and with his big room bass style and constant fan appeal it looks like he will get a few people sweating. The song ITM pumped out is Mr Diablo's fairly well played banger, 'Hooligans Never Surrender'. Noisia's remix is slightly shy of the original, but turns out its favored over at In The Mix, with the static heavy beat making its way in as the weekly download over the original... controversial but enjoy :)
P.S - as I was writing this, I noticed a mini mix that Don threw up from Winter 2008 and it was not to bad, snap that link up and jump on his myspace for more music!
A Few Days Late For Brisbane
Just days after Knife Machine tore up the decks at GPO, In the Mix posted a sweet remix of theirs very worth a listen. Knife Machine worked their magic on 'The Bismark', a track off the very anticipated debut album from the Lost Valentino's. Of course, the track holds all the reason Knife Machine are shooting upwards and was pumped out on Bang Gang 12'' - giving it all the more 'class' if your tossing up a listen :) Oh, and make sure you check out the sidebar for everything Knife Machine and Gang Bang 12''s related!
More Bangin' (ITM)
Who can deny the forward momentum the Bang Gang Deejays are rolling with at the moment. While I'm not here to reword what i said only a few weeks ago about the energetic crew, I will throw some more of their goodness down your throat, just as ITM managed to do to me with their weekly offering. Don't worry, the boys and girls over at ITM still have spark and they picked a goody to lend us for the week :) Bang Gangs 'E is for Edit' on the Presets popular single 'Kicking and Screaming' adds a nice dirty aftertaste, perfect to get the big room going. Oh, and yeh i know, stoney roads and deckhead got it out before me.
Malente Goodness (ITM)
Each week, In The Mix (ITM) happily provides a temporary download link to consistently promising offerings from selected Australian and international DJ's. In turn, I will funnel all the 'goodys' out and present them here. I previously made a post on Bag Raiders which provided a link to 'Shooting Stars', a track available via the ITM download feature. Just remember, I use the ITM link, so the links will be consistent and only last for one week, aka be quick and check back.
ITM Weekly Offering - Malente Goodness
This week, ITM gave a shout out to German producer/DJ Malente by showcasing his latest electro-tech touch up on the already established Stupid Fresh hit, 'Get the Fuck up'. Malente (named after the small German town he was born in), via Unique Records, has managed to push out 5 albums while maintaining a noteworthy international touring schedule. His remix of 'Get the Fuck up' proves his fan base has a reason to be loyal, with all the dirty electro he has developed nicely panned out through the song (yeh... wait for the edgy climax). While Stupid Fresh did no wrong in their original masterpiece, Malente adds some electronic attitude to the song, just perfect for the dancefloor. Check that shit and click on the pictures for their respective pages.
P.s - on the topic of Stupid Fresh, check out 'Spam Javelin'... here, its worth it!
Hurry.
Bag Raiders Are In the Mix
Be sure to jump on In The Mix this week to download Shooting Stars, taken straight from the new 'Turbo Love' EP
Bag Raiders are planning to top the charts with. Not my usual style of track, however the vocals are impressive and the song is defiantly of a happy nature - a feature not uncommon to Bag Raiders tracks.
