My Cousin Roy and Brennan Green pulled out the stops for a full Wurst night on Beats in Space Tuesday. 

Brennan gets nice and weird while Roy features a bunch of upcoming Wurst releases.  If you haven't had a chance to listen yet, I highly recommend it.  Brennan and Roy will be joining us for a freakout on a boat in July.

The Wurst Has Yet to Come...stay tuned.

I've been listening to Nottingham's Friendly Fires quite a bit recently and just got turned on to the record label behind them called PEOPLE IN THE SKY. The label is helmed by the guy who started Hooj Choons, but its more progressive rock than progressive house...

Among the Friendly Fires releases, People in the Sky is putting out an EP by Wax Stag called "Short Road". The title track from that EP was featured on the Hot Chip DJ Kicks and is a sublime piece of retro-futuristic bliss.

Friendly Fires have an EP coming out on Moshi Moshi in December and will be at Iceland Airwaves in October and some continental dates in November. Keep an eye on their space for details on a remix disc coming out soon with Nightmoves and Mock & Toof refixes!

Friendly Fires - On Board

Justice guested this weekend on BBC Radio 1's hallowed Essential Mix.

Justice - Essential Mix June 10, 2007 (MP3 via the homeboys of Filter27)

From the looks of the tracklist (below) its a pretty schizo affair.

I'm downloading it now. I'll get it up here asap...

For now, visit the BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix page and "listen again."

Vice hooked us up with a bangin Etienne De Crecy remix of Chromeo's Tenderoni jammy jam...

Chromeo - Tenderoni (Etienne De Crecy Remix)

Click through to Brooklyn Vegan for the Chromeo tour info!

Vice is giving away a shitload of Justice remix MP3s this week...head over there and snatch them.

You have one more chance to listen to my Sirius show tonight at Midnight Eastern time!

I love Shakes. No "the" bullshit, just SHAKES. These two brother dudes from the fuckin Isle of Wight make some strong electro rocking jams. No shortage of electro and definitely no shortage of rocktro. If you've seen me DJ, you've heard "Sister Self Doubt" more than a few times.

Bear with me here: Shakes remixed Datarock's "Fa Fa Fa", Datarock play NYC on Saturday night at my boys' CUT party at Studio B, Passions also debuts his live show at said party, and now I'll debut Passions' remix of Shakes.

Ah shit, I was dreaming. I think I'll have to make that happen though. Shakers, send through the tapes: Ben, get to work.

Datarock - Fa Fa Fa (Shakes Remix)

Shakes - Sister Self Doubt

Shakes' shit was very hard to comeby until the brilliant boys of IAMSOUND records picked up the Sister Self Doubt EP for the US. Meaning you can now download it on IDrones.

Claude Von Stroke and his Dirtybird crew roll into town Thursday night for the launch of the new Dirtybird residency at APT. CVS's wierd and wobbly beats have turned up in many a DJ set, from techno purists to hip hoppers to the super club set. Peanut Butter Jelly Time? The Whistler? You've heard the bird...check Hype Machine for a refresher...

APT has another killer night on Friday lined up for Max Pask's new residency.

Joining Max will be Andy Butler of Hercules and Love Affair. H&LA are one of the newest DFA signings and are putting out some very exciting music, including work with Antony (of ...and the Johnsons) just like Bjork.

Listen up to Andy's Beats in Space mix for a few Hercules tracks and a sampling of Andy's excellent taste...

People Don't Dance No More is looking forward to hosting Hercules and Love Affair on June 15th. Save the date for some disco freakouts this summer.

"When we play: you freak out."

!!! chk chk chk absolutely destroyed last night. It must've be the motherfuckin moon, but people were going apeshit. I went apeshit. The backup singer that !!! brought on tour with them went apeshit and then stage dove right on to the floor. Craziness.

If you have a chance, go freakout to !!! sometime soon. Thankfully, they are coming back to Studio B on May 30th.

I've been sitting on this one for a bit, but here's Hot Chips remix of !!!'s new single!

!!! (chk chk chk) - Must Be the Moon (Hot Chip Remix)

I can't reccomend !!!'s new album Myth Takes highly enough. Go. Buy. Now.

The remainder of !!!'s tourdates after the jump...

If I know you personally and you make music, I've probably said "Someone needs to make this track in to NEW YORK...man" while drunkenly pumping my fists to Fedde Le Grand's ode to Detroit.

My prayers have finally been answered and with extra speed garage bass to boot(leg).

I missed the world debut of this track at Masters of the Universe last weekend, but fear not. Curses! will be dropping the love bass on you this Friday at People Don't Dance No More: INSTITUBES PARIS TERROR CLUB!

Back.

Here are a few goodies to make up for the quiet week:

First off, our mate Arveene did us a super hot mix. Just for your ears, direct from Ireland:

MP3: Arveene Mix March 2007

This shit is white hot, lots of unreleased bangin' going on. Plug in.

Hopefully we'll get Arv and some of the Underwater crew across the pond this summer. The tracklisting is after the jump.

As usual, we had a blast at Happy Ending last week with Popstatic & ED UFO!.

Jarrett from Popstatic was kind enough to let us post up his blistering set from the night.

MP3: Popstatic Live at Happy Ending NYC March 21st 2007

Stay tuned for more news from the Popstatic crew. They are working on some original productions that will surely be next level.

Next Wednesday DJ Krames from Cobra Kai wrecks the Happy Ending massive. (His mix for Arveene's Radio Show is back here.)

Holy shit the weather was horrible last night. Snow, rain, sleet, high winds.

It wasn't easy for me to walk 2 blocks to Element, so I can imagine what everyone went through to get there.

Big thanks to everyone who made it out and danced with us last night!

As was expected, My Cousin Roy and Jacques Renault absolutely destroyed it.

For those of you that couldn't make it, here's a bit of their set from last night!

MP3: My Cousin Roy & Jacques Renault at People Don't Dance No More March 16, 2007

The next party is April 13th and will feature a special DJ set by ESCORTas well as a super special guest DJ that we will announce next week.

Escort is playing live with Fujiya & Miyagi on Monday night at Barnard College. Everything I've heard about Escort live has been amazing, so hop on the 1 train.
