AMERICANO FEVER



Perhaps the most hyped song of 2010, Yolanda Be Cool & Dcups upbeat bonanza 'We No Speak Americano' looks like it's here to stay. Despite hitting the airwaves quite some time ago, you'd be hard pressed to take a radio aided car journey and NOT hear the track at least once. While we have never been fond of overkill on radio stations, the Fridgejet team are happy to admit that if 'catchyness' had a soundtrack, this would be the title track!  Incorporating elements of jazz, baile funk and all things jumpy, it ticks all the boxes for writing a modern day house track that appeals to the masses.

Not ones to let the hype die, Sweat It Out Records recently teamed up with Spank to run a promotional remix competition on the tune. Spanning a number of months, the competition is still live and will be closing on the 30th of May, with entries expected to be overflowing their inboxes. We've been thrown a number of these audible efforts over the past weeks and thought we'd pass a few on to your faithful readers. First up, we've got a remix from The Surecut Kids. It keeps a pretty similiar intro to the original, but the drop displays all the features you'd expect from the Gold Coast duo. Catchy drums, a gritty bassline and some cool wobbles make it a fun tune that keeps you guessing! Secondly, Sydney DJ and producer Tenzin has reworked the tune into a 3am stomper that could resemble something coming out of the Dada Life camp. It pushes, sucks and smashes your ears and boy, it's a highly creative take on the original version. Last but not least, local producer Wolfie riddles the tune with his minimalistic basslines, tight drums and crisp kicks, giving a tech house orientated take on the tune. I say enjoy!



Bowwwwnus!?

AJAX ROCKS FUTURE


Two things gave Brisbane festival goers a mighty beat down yesterday. The annoying persistent rain, and Sweat It Out head honcho Ajax. While the element's certainly didn't add joy to anyones day, the latter of the two really livened up the afternoon crowd with his eclectic style and fast as f#%k mixing. With at least a thousand hand's in the air, Mr Thomas bounced around the decks and did his thing, dropping a number of Ajax originals and everything from 'Bangkok' to the Law & Order official theme song. 

Despite a number of cancellations by the likes of 'Does It Offend You, Yeah' and so forth, the crowd laid witness to stellar performances by a massive selection of artist's. As the rain got heavier, punters found themselves hitting covered stages like the Pure Blonde Cube, the packed out Fuck Fluro stage and the rigged up Silent Disco, giving go-getters like Noy and Wolfie a solid selection of crowd to impress during their awesome sets. With locals like Danny T (Pink Flamingo) and Tim Fuchs (Pink Flamingo) also throwing down and showing their worth alongside the international heavy hitters, Brisbane punters had plenty to be proud of walking out after the 10 hour event. If your feeling up to listening to more music after yesterday, enjoy a few AJAX goodies and get your dancing shoes re-polished for March 11th when he rocks The Met with none other than Boys Noize and Housemeister! 

PS: These tunes and mixtapes are by no means new, but its impossible for AJAX to go stale, especially now that they have all been put in the Fridge.

'The Anti-King of Water Conservation?'



Contrasting the previous post on RDCTBR, the Melbourne young gun, it seems suitable to pay tribute to a more established Australian made DJ, especially considering his current production efforts. Over the past years, Ajax has become a household name in the Australian dance scene, with the established producer/DJ amounting masses of festival, club and concert appearances alongside a number of remixes and original releases. AJAX took out the In The Mix (ITM) Australian DJ Poll for two consecutive years, managing wins in 2006 and 2007, with a 3rd place finish in 2008. On top of that, Justice labeled AJAX as the one to watch in 2008 while Busy P and Digitalism gave him top honors for DJ's of 2007. The former Bang Gang DJ brought together his own efforts via his new label, Sweat It Out, which lead to the release of 'Sweat It Out - Volume 1' in conjunction with Miami Horror. Since then, the Sydney DJ is currently in works with his label alongside his own production efforts while still managing to show his stuff at all the best festivals and clubs throughout Australia. Be sure to check out the mixes ('Ain't lookin' for a Dime' recommended), its just a reminder (a relatively old one at that) of what AJAX is worth and hopefully a glimpse at what's coming up. Oh, and while your listening... jump on his myspace check out the tour dates, listen to some mixes and maybe even download a few? He's available everywhere.
