DMZ Diary

This is the intro track we play at the start of every show.

A historic, *legal* remix of one of the greatest rock bands ever to take to the stage, Fatboy Slim turns in a reverent remix of the Stones classic.

Funky Breaks track from a few years ago, back when Big-Beat wall all the rage and Wall Of Sound had still to sign Royksopp.... still sounds good today.

Hooligan house continues to be something that journalists like to write about, while the real music fans just get down to it's dirty grooves. Don't read the articles, listen to the music.

More sex driven lyrics today.... on this moody progressive house number. It reminds me of Dirty Vegas, but it's yet to appear in a car ad.

Take an 80's electronic pop track and turn it into a progressive house record, the result is surprisingly catchy and enjoyable.

I mentioned Dirty Vegas earlier - well Hydrogen Rockers are basically Dirty Vegas minus their vocalist, instead they recruited Mayte, former wife of Prince or O{+> to fill in some breathy words over the top of this.

Monster breakbeat number championed by everyone from Adam Freeland to The Crystal Method, so shut you cakehole and listen to the music! ;-)

This weeks most overt appearance by a 303 comes from Lee Coombes reworking of this high profile collaboration between Faithless resident DJ and John Martyn.

Josh Wink applies his wierd techno noises, effects and lots of feedback to the immortal 'French Kiss' instead of a girl having an orgasm instead we're treated to ear bleeding feedback. It shouldn't work, but it does.

I borrowed this from DJ Gee's fantastic Bora Bora compilation from a few years back, one of the few summer albums that actually captures the feel of the place the record is named after. This is a silly little acid wibble, great fun.

Brazillian jazz remixed with a big room house feel, it's an average house record until you get to the breakdown and we're treated to a pretty clean version of the original balearic standard setter.

Wayne is of course the lead vocalist and writer for the Flaming Lips, if you think the lyrics in this track are kinda wierd you should check out the Flaming Lips when they don't have the Chem's on production to direct them towards the dancefloor.
