My song of the week: a genius bizarro electronic cutup tale about a very special time called “Peanut Butter Jelly Time”. Apparently this is a reference to some sort of Internet forwarding phenomenon that I am far too highbrow to understand. However I laughed out loud at about three different places in this mix by the always amazing Claude Von Stroke.

Palmsout (the amazing blog who also brought us the Daft Punk Sampling etymology a few weeks ago) has a regular remix exclusives feature on Sundays called, shockingly, “Remix Sundays.” This past week’s edition featured a few amazing ones, here are my favorites:
MP3: UFO (Van She Tech Remix) – Sneaky Soundsystem
MP3: Gravity’s Rainbow (Nightmoves Remix) – Klaxons
MP3: Around The World (Killdahype Remix) – Daft Punk

I used to subscribe to Tim Sweeney’s amazing Beats In Space weekly podcast until I noticed that it had eaten up half my laptop’s hard drive space! At 140 megs a week it’s a heavyweight workout, but worth the toll on your bytecount for an always amazing mix of disco, indie dance, electro house, with a lot of great vintage and obscure stuff. The show is mixed live on WNYU 89.1 FM on Tuesday nights and generally posted on the site the next day. He’s also got some sort of affiliation with DFA which I’m not too clear on, and I’ve seen him in Miami for WMC a few times. Ok, now I’m just stretching for material to write about. Check out the site to download a few episodes.
Speaking of mixes, go check Missing Toof today for a mix by All Night Dance Party, it’s slammin’ like Prince circa Lovesexy, in a white Canadian sorta way. (Look out for their remix of Luxxury’s “Sweet and Vicious” coming soon!). I’ll probably spin most of these tonight at Elbo Room. Come take a break from the dirty electro (we all need a sorbet in between meals sometimes) and check out the synthpop stylings of Freezepop along with Subimage, Sutro, and DJ Baron Von Luxxury in the DJ booth.

Tim Sweeney is half of DFA.
Close – you’re thinking of Tim Goldsworthy.
Gah! You are right! How does Tim Sweeney relate? I forgot what he is in.
Exactly my point! He’s always “around.” An affiliation makes sense, Beats in Space’s sonic tastes are right in line with DFA’s vintage postpunk no wave disco sound. Perhaps he is James Murphy’s muse. Not in a gay way, of course.
hmmm well he is on DFA and did mix that dfa compilation 3rd cd with Tim Goldsworthy
yeah, I just saw that too. interesting trivia: sweeney was the music supervisor on “grand theft auto”! and he played saxophone on the radio 4 track “dance to the underground.”
[...] heavy rotation). The fruits of Van She’s remixing division was never far from my ears, and their remix of Sneaky SoundSystem’s “UFO” was probably in all my DJ sets. I covered a few tracks by Bag Raiders and Valentinos, and [...]
