Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs - Essential Mix 18.08.2012
Happy Friday! Are you getting ready for the weekend? Getting ready to hit “da club”? Where by “da club” that could either be an actual nightclub to party and relax or staying at home to party and relax. Let this Essential Mix from August by T.E.E.D get you amped for “da club”

シャルロ - Take Me Out To The Discotheque
An older release on the same netlabel as doremimate, シャルロ/Charlot makes some excellent house/electro jams, including a house track that samples Edward Meeker’s American classic, “Take Me Out to the Ball Game”.
Also check out their post-rock, shoegaze release from last year titled Out of Orbit. The mood is completely different but it is oh-so-lovely.
doremimate - Disco in the Dark EP
Happy Friday! Have a cool weekend :D
More listening: the doremimate remixes album
Here’s a cool idea from Bleep: they had their staff pick the 100 best tracks from the year 2012 and put them together in a compilation for you to buy in MP3/WAV/FLAC.
The team have picked the best in all styles of music, from house music and techno through to the the more experimental spheres of electronic music and indie / alternative rock.
I’m almost halfway through listening to the whole thing and there are some really excellent tracks in there, a lot of stuff that’s completely new to me. Wow, that was AMAZING. Highly, highly recommended.
Sure, it’s $45 for the MP3 version, but that’s half the price of an iTunes or Amazon download. HALF THE PRICE. Get on this, it’s a fascinating tour through 2012 in music and it’s only available until February 6th!
Minikomi - Morning Mix 31/12/12
HAPPY NEW YEAR! Enjoy this morning mix that Minikomi dropped on the last day of last year. Chill jams for yo bad self.
You may know Minikomi from the Metrodub microlabel, which provides all sorts of fine, dubby grooves.
Fukuyama - Maths (September Mix)
Congratulations! You’ve made it to Friday! Enjoy this excellent mix from Fukuyama and get hyped for the weekend. GET HYPED
Seriously fun EP from OVERWERK, it has all of the crunchiness that I want out of electro accompanied by small but awesome vocal samples,
OVERWERK has several more tracks and remixes over on his SoundCloud.
Start your Friday off proper with Unicorn Kid’s new music video for “Need U”. You can check out more of his tracks and remixes on his SoundCloud.
In case you missed it: The video for “Pure Space”
I would apologize for all these house/disco mixes if I didn’t love them so much. I don’t know much about the producers for this one other than they’re from Glasgow and they mix some fun music. Perfect for an afternoon stuck at work, at least you can dance in your chair!
Henry Homesweet - Live-Mode #2
It’s hard to think of a nicer, more soft-spoken, more talented individual than Henry Homesweet. For a while, he has been producing these videos of him playing around with an assortment of gear in his basement or in his out-house (does it mean something else across the pond? not sure), this latest series focuses on some experiments with hardware, I think he’s syncing the 2 GBAs to the Roland TR-808 via that box with the LEDs and 4 big blue buttons. Don’t miss anything Henry Homesweet does, the man is brilliant in the studio and on-stage. Oh, here’s the first video in the series.
Bonus: His latest full album “Enter 5D” is available to stream on his SoundCloud
