6AM Shuffle

Fresh new music from our long time pal and part time Curb Crawlers contributer Secret Agent Gel. The NYC based producer flexes is muscles on a UK Funky tip here and with Pavlovian results, his milkshake is already bringing all the boys to the yard.

After being dropped on Marcus Nasty’s RiseFM show with devastating results, 6AM Shuffle is turning heads on both sides of the pond to this New Yorkers take on the rising genre.

Best Singles of 2008

On a Wednesday in December

Right down to the wire for our second best of 2008 post. This list of original music is a little longer than our best of remixes run down. There were just too many to widdle it down!

As with the previous list, all of these tunes are A1 quality bad ass shit and should be purchased. Bitrates have been dropped down to a level which comes across as decent for casual listening but will sound like complete ass when being played out. If you’re a DJ, please use the buy links provided and support these artists. They are the cream of the crop after all!

Without further adieu, the best original singles of 2008 (in no particular order).

 

• Jan Driver - Rat Alert

Lurking somewhere between face melting electro, uk funky and Berlin style house, Jan Driver hits the mark spot-on with this Made To Play heater. We posted this earlier in the year and generated some interesting comments. Maybe not everyone’s cup of tea but it stood out for us no question. [buy]

Jan Driver - Rat Alert

 

• Riva Starr - War Drums

With releases coming out almost every other week for twelve months straight, Riva Starr really did have an impressive year. Out of the mountains of music released this year, Riva’s Kindisch 12” really stuck out. The discombobulated rhythmic voodoo percussion creates so much tension and mood you literally feel like you’re in some Port-au-Prince back alley with Baron Samedi on your ass. [buy]

Riva Starr - War Drums

 

• Joker - Snake Eater

With all the focus on Dubstep’s future sound, there’s some likelihood that the genre can fall into a similar trap that Drum and Bass did, with people anally focusing on perceived originality over effectiveness. Thanks to Joker for injecting a bit of reality into things. Sometimes, all it takes is a big boy 808 and a killer hook to get the job done. [buy]

Joker - Snake Eater

 

• J. Phlip - Rumble Rumble

Not much of a surprise that we’d chart more Dirty Bird music. J. Phlip’s Rumble Rumble had the community a buzz since videos of Claude VonStroke’s live set at WMC started popping up online last spring. Massive subs and pop-n-click percussion here for the win. Please note, this was released as single song only (no b side). We’ve done some scissor work with the clip to ensure the label gets theirs. [buy]

J. Phlip - Rumble Rumble

 

• Christian Martin - Elephant Fight

This one really stood out for us. I know it’s labeled as house, the artist makes house and it’s played with other house music. But seriously, is this REALLY House? I’m convinced the Martin’s are so close to creating some new spin off genre with this sound. [buy]

Christian Martin - Elephant Fight

 

• Seth Troxler & Patrick Russell - Love Spray

The man of much hype in 2008 blessed us with the disjointed techno banger on the massively successful Circus Company imprint. Much like CVS’s rework of War Paint in our best of remixes list, this one takes a few listens to really understand how absolutely cool it really is. [buy]

Seth Troxler & Patrick Russell - Love Spray

 

• Hercules & Love Affair - You Belong

Hard to make a best of list without including anything form Hercules & Love Affair. Although many a lists are championing Blind and its remixes, we’ve opted for the original of You Belong. This one was responsible for a number of sing-a-longs on summer road trips this year. Call me sentimental but looking back at 2008, I’ll defiantly be remembering this one for years to come. [buy]

Hercules & Love Affair - You Belong

 

• The Juan Maclean - Happy House

Another official anthem for road trips, cottages and bon fires. Leave it to DFA to provide the soundtrack for my summer. You brought me home to this happy house, you’re the reason for the width of my smile… [buy]

The Juan Maclean - Happy House

 

• The Martin Brothers - Rocket Surgery

Yet another Dirty Bird listing. We made some bold claims about this Martin Brothers EP back in July and still stand by every word of it. Without a doubt, one of our favorite releases of the year by some of the most forward thinking artists in dance music today. [buy]

The Martin Brothers - Rocket Surgery

 

• Zomby  - Strange Fruit

A phenomenal year for Zomby wouldn’t you agree? The arp laden Strange Fruit shows us how diverse this artist really is. Up until the Ramp release, Zomby was traditionally known as a Dubstep artist (spliff dub anyone?). Strange Fruit showed the world the many layers to the mysterious producer only to be reinforced with the critically acclaimed Where were U in 92 LP. [buy]

Zomby - Strange Fruit

 

• D1  - Ongie Bongie

Wow do I love Tempa. Not only are they more or less responsible for Dubstep music’s massive world wide success, but they continuously up the ante with border defying releases. Nothing can be further from the truth with D1’s Ongie Bongie. Is it Dubstep? Is it Funky? Whatever it is, it’s incredible. [buy]

D1 - Ongie Bongie

 

• Math Head X Passions  - Turn The Music Up

The dread bass that destroyed dancefloors for the better part of 2008. Looking back on the year, this one really needs to be highlighted as both original and devastating on the crowd. I must have been asked at least three times per show what “the song with the big dread bass and rave pianos” was before this was released. Such a huge tune. [buy]

Math Head X Passions - Turn The Music Up

 

• Headhunter  - In Motion

More Tempa music here. Sadly, we ran out of time to post our “best albums” and “best artwork” lists before years end but let it be known, Headhunter’s releases on Tempa trumped them all. Nomad summarized the love affair between Dubstep and Techno with class and the artwork on his Initiate EP gave anyone familiar with the artists BMX background a chuckle. [buy]

Headhunter - In Motion

 

• Kode9 Vs. LD  - 2 Bad

As Kode9 began to explore funky house with his Frankie Solaar moniker, it was only a matter of time before releases on Hyperdub reflected this sound as well. Although in true Hyperdub form, 2 bad is a fusion of sounds with an end result being completely unique. [buy]

Kode9 Vs. LD - 2 Bad

 

• Mujava - Township Funk

Biggest tune of the year? It’s hard to imagine there’s anyone that hasn’t heard Township Funk or any of it’s remix spawn over the last year. When a tune gets this big, it must be built on a foundation of quality. Nothing is further from the truth with Mujava’s run away anthem. [buy]

Mujava - Township Funk

 

• Blackdown & Dusk - Focus

My personal favorite tune this year. Tucked away as the last song on Blackdown and Dusk’s Margins Music LP, this may be off the radar of a few people out there. Whatever you do, do not sleep on this! I must have listened to this five hundred times over since it’s been released. [buy]

Blackdown & Dusk - Focus

 

• Appleblim & Peverelist - Circling

Skull Disco, Skull Disco, Skull Disco, Skull Disco, Skull Disco, Skull Disco, Skull Disco, Skull Disco, Skull Disco, Skull Disco, Skull Disco, Skull Disco, Skull Disco, Skull Disco, Skull Disco, Skull Disco, Skull Disco, Skull Disco, Skull Disco, Skull Disco…. Nuff said. [buy]

Appleblim & Peverelist - Circling

 

• Martyn - Vancouver

With only a handful of releases, Martyn showed us why he’s the man to watch this year. That’s quality you just can’t fuck with. Pulsating bass, funky shakers, dub delays and haunting vocals. This one has it all. [buy]

Martyn - Vancouver

 

• Loco Dice - M Train To Brooklyn

It’s surprisingly difficult to pick one single song form Loco Dice’s debut LP 7 Dunham Place to include here. The release as a whole is jam packed with gems. M Train To Brooklyn stood out for us for many of the same reasons anything off Burials LP’s would. As a musical interpretation of an artist’s physical surroundings, it’s really quite amazing. [buy]

Loco Dice - M Train To Brooklyn

 

• Robert Dietz - Shunsower

Another personal favorite. Depending on what’s in your iTunes most played list, this may have been off radar for some. Class act deep house with a minimalist touch. Not sure what else sums up this year better to be honest. [buy]

Robert Dietz - Shunsower

Belated

On a Saturday in December

Week long holiday what! Here’s a little gift from my personal vinyl collection to you. I’ve looked around on the web for an MP3 version of this Relief Records classic for some time with limited results. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Despite being released in 95, this tune completely kills it in the dance to this day.

Enjoy

Toute une semaine de congé! Voici un petit cadeau pour vous, pigé de ma collection privée. J’ai cherché longtemps sur Internet pour une version MP3 de ce track classique de Relief Records sans trop de succès. J’espère qu’elle est à votre goût.

Malgré son lancement en ‘95, elle offre toujours le même ‘oomph’ ces jours-ci.

Au plaisir.

Best Remixes of 2008

On a Tuesday in December

Here’s the first in our best of 2008 posts. I’ve narrowed this down to a short list of fifteen remixes that we really fell in love with over the past year. Some were blogged on here, some where not.

All of these tunes are A1 quality bad ass shit and should be purchased. I’ve dropped down the bitrate on most of the tunes to a respectable level and also included buy links to ensure people support the artists. This is the cream of the crop after all!

Without further adieu, the best remixes of 2008 (in no particular order).

 

• Idiotproof - The Deacon (Duke Dumont ‘live From Brooklyn’ Remix)

There was a three month period when I’d hear Duke’s remix of Deepgroove and Jamie Anderson’s Made To Play banger everywhere I turned. In the club, in the bar, shopping for shoes, everyone was completely eating up Dukes old school rave stabs and loving every bit of it. [buy

Idiotproof - The Deacon (Duke Dumont ‘live From Brooklyn’ Remix)

 

• Poxymusic - War Paint (Claude Vonstroke Remix)

Without a doubt, the boys in San Francisco did an amazing job at defining their Hyphy Bass / Tech House sound this year. CVS’s rework of Poxymusic’s War Paint may seam like a bit of a sleeper upon first listen. However with the right set of subs and an ear open to detail, you’ll be finding yourself chanting soulja! in no time. [buy

Poxymusic - War Paint (Claude Vonstroke Remix)

 

• Nacho Lovers - Acidlife (Eli Escobar Remix)

I know I said that this list was in no particular order, but if I had to choose one to top them all, it would have to be Eli’s refix of Acid Life. Packed full of 303, nods to the old school and wrapped in modern day dancefloor attitude, Escobar’s rework is a recipe for a damn good time. [buy

Nacho Lovers - Acidlife (Eli Escobar Remix)

 

• Kevin Saunderson - World Of Deep (Jesse Rose Respect To Detroit Remix)

Found on the fourth installment in the History Elevate series. British born, Berlin bred Jesse Rose reworks a classic into modern day while respectfully staying true to the original. There’s not a soul alive that doesn’t react with a ear-to-ear grin when the strings drop in half way through. [buy

Kevin Saunderson - World Of Deep (Jesse Rose Respect To Detroit Remix)

 

• Late Of The Pier - Bathroom Gurgle (Duke Dumont Remix)

Duke Dumont at it again with a blindingly original remix. Instead of your run-of-the-mill drink-your-face-off club banger, Duke opts to go deep by paying homage to legends like Aux 88 and Drexciya with a Detroit Electro-Techno inspired chest rattler. Just the right amount of junk in the trunk to get the floor moving too. [buy

Late Of The Pier - Bathroom Gurgle (Duke Dumont Remix)

 

• Burial - Archangel (Boy 8-Bit Edit)

Technically released in the last week of 2007, we’ll let it this one as slide as a 2008 release as it didn’t really make the rounds online until January / February. Boy 8-Bit’s rework of Burial‘ s anthem Archangel was by far one of the better “edits” I’ve heard all year. To boot, tt and does wonders in the dance despite somewhat chilled-out origins.  

Burial - Archangel (Boy 8-Bit Edit)

 

• TRG - Broken Heart (Martyn’s DCM Remix)

You can’t really deny the huge push forward Dubstep music made this year. Leading that charge we find the Washington DC based Martyn. Banking on years of experience releasing soulful dnb and stripped down techno, Martyn is at the forefront of Dubstep’s next evolution in sound. I think you’d be hard pressed to find a best of 2008 remix anywhere that has not included this tune. [buy

TRG - Broken Heart (Martyn’s DCM Remix)

 

• DJ Technic - Gabryelle (D-Malice Refix)

Arguably one of the biggest tunes in the emerging UK Funky scene. Fueled on rolling bass, voodoo riddims and moody strings, Gabryelle certainly sticks out in the mix. Much like the early days of Grime, there’s some really raw and pissed off true emotions felt here. You can almost hear how disgruntled with life he was feeling when this was made. [buy

DJ Technic - Gabryelle (D-Malice Refix)

 

• Boy 8-Bit - Suspense is killing me (Drop The Lime Remix)

A monstrous sub bass stormer from the NYC heavy bass king. Aside from being one of my favorite remixes of 2008, this one might very well go down as one of my choice Drop the Lime tunes ever. The perfect balance between LFO warbble and electro beats. [buy

Boy 8-Bit - Suspense is killing me (Drop The Lime Remix)

 

• Curses! - What I Need (Dexplicit Remix)

When talking about 2008, it’s sort of necessary to bring up Bassline. Although our interest in the genre has fizzled a bit in recent months, Dexplicit’s remix of Curses epic What I Need still stands out as one of this years best productions. Sitting on a trailer load of subs and a vintage drum machine kit, this one still does damage in the dance. [buy

Curses! - What I Need (Dexplicit Remix)

 

• Water Lilly - Shake A Leg (Jokers Of The Scene Remix)

Somewhere between 90’s techstep drum and bass, thrash electro and 90’s Beltram Techno. That’s the only way I can describe the sound of JOTS massive hoover bass pressing over Water Lilly’s Mental Groove hit Shake A Leg. This one was a staple around CCHQ for months on end. [buy

Water Lilly - Shake A Leg (Jokers Of The Scene Remix)

 

• AC Slater - Jack Got Jacked (Jack Beats Remix)

The reaction that Jack Beats booming delayed tom toms gets in the beginning of this tune on a dancefloor is un-bloody-real. I honestly think that the remix would have been a charter with just the toms alone but nonono, Jack Beats take it one step further with some tweaked out wobble bass and shuffle drums. [buy

AC Slater - Jack Got Jacked (Jack Beats Remix)

 

• Nina Simone - Sinnerman (Luciano Edit)

Although it wasn’t technically “released” this year, Luciano’s edit of Sinnerman (long kept under lock and key) made it’s appearance online in 2008 and we couldn’t be happier. I must have listened to this tune a thousand times over this year. It’s dripping sex appeal in the most hypnotizing way possible. 

Nina Simone - Sinnerman (Luciano Edit)

 

• Kid Sister - Pro Nails (SMD Remix)

Definitely one of our favorites that found it’s way into a few mixes thought the year. I’m surprised more people didn’t give this remix the love it deserves when it was released (especially the Dubstep heads). Fans of Skull Disco, Apple Pips and Hessle Audio take note, this one should be right up your alley (surprisingly). [buy

Kid Sister - Pro Nails (SMD Remix)

 

• Paleface & Kyla - Do You Mind (Crazy Cousins Remix)

UK Funky’s anthem of the year. Do You Mind moving butts in the dance, did more for popularizing Funky in 2008 than any PR, blog coverage, etc etc ever could. There’s still many in North America unaware of the popular UK sound. This will surely change in 2009 and without a doubt;  Crazy Cousins can be thanked for laying the foundation. [buy

Paleface & Kyla - Do You Mind (Crazy Cousins Remix)

A new look (blog v2.0)

On a Sunday in December

After a few weeks of css by trial and error, sore eyes and coffee headaches, I’m happy to finally launch version 2 of Curb Crawlers today.

A number of people have expressed their fondness for the original layout so I tried my best to keep v2 as true to it’s roots as possible. Here’s a short rundown of some of the improvements / adjustments found in todays launch.

New Layout: Ditched the old left aligned style for a more traditional centered layout. The post areas have been increased in size to allow for larger photos and videos also. The sidebar length has been reduced in size by incorporating the archives, about and contact sections into expandable dropdown thingys. 

Categories: We’ve added categories, still working on assigning all past posts a category. 

Search: Search results are now live. Type something in the search field and the results will automatically pop up right below the search field. No more new windows.

Comments: You can now use Facebook connect to log into the site when commenting. Once you log into the blog with Facebook, a small profile page is automatically created for you with your photo, last Facebook status update and your “about me” section. You can use this to meet / stalk other people that have similar taste.

iPhone: If you use an iPhone, there’s a super fast, sexy stripped-down version of the blog for you too. go check it out.

Twitter: We’re now updating our Twitter with new posts. Come follow us on Twitter and get all sorts of updates on new blog posts, bangin’ new music, hot shit parties in the city and other random shit. twitter.com/CurbCrawlers

 

- Let us know what you think about the new look. Only if you like it though! I’m not a website designer and probably fucked up a bunch of stuff. The new layout was written in Safari and tested in both Firefox and Chrome. I’d imagine everything looks like total ass in IE but whatever them the breaks. I’ll get around to fine tuning those things after our best of 2008 posts.

Dirty Bird Party Tonight

On a Saturday in December

We’ve teamed up with our pals at Wrongbar to give away a handful free tickets for tonight’s much anticipated Dirty Bird Volume 2 Party.

To win a pair of free tickets through this blog, simply email us at curbcrawlers@gmail.com before 8:00 PM EST today and we’ll hook you up.

Speaking of Dirty Bird, here’s the recent mix mini mix by label head honcho Claude VonStroke appearance on Dj Heidi’s Radio One show. Props to Solo and Zombie Disco Squad for signing! Tunes sounds deadly guys!

Flat Tour

On a Thursday in December

Just picked up this bangin’ rework that our friends at The Heatwave dugg up from their vaults and decided to share.  Although this edit is well over four years in age, it’s surprising how relevant the sound is today.

Oizo’s Flat Beat laid the groundwork for years of wonky, bass-fueled floor steppers and given that 2008’s popular sound often incorporated elements of Dancehall or Reggae, it seams all too fitting to unleash Capleton’s lyrical spit over the bubbly bass classic as this year comes to a close.

Capleton & Mr Oizo - Flat Tour (The Heatwave Refix)

Birds The Word

On a Thursday in December

Stumbled across the backdrop for this picture in a pretty interesting way. After hours spent scouring the net for a decent photo, I came across this little birdie wall sketch someone had posted on flickr, taken on recent summer vacation. Somewhere in the photo’s description was the word “worthy” (in the dictionary sense). Kismet? perhaps.

Worthy most recent release entitled Madcap is out now on the SF based Anabatic Records.

Anabatic, formally Katabatic, was recently forced to change their name after an Oakland based “death shite, weirdcore, abandoned house, zombient and queasy listening” label using the name Katabatik slapped them with a cease and desist letter for trade mark infringement.

With bangers like Madcap, I highly doubt the change in identity will do much to effect the success of the imprint. Here’s a taste of Worthy’s title track to wet your whistle. Please excuse the pissy bitrate. If you’re into this, please support the label and buy the EP.

Worthy - Madcap

For our pals local to Toronto, Worthy alongside Curb Crawlers favorite Christian Martin will be djing live for Embraces’ second installment in Dirty Bird events at Wrongbar. Sadly, I missed the last event due to an event we were throwing with Rusko on the same night. Not a chance in hell I’ll miss this one though!

Worthy’s most recent Situation Grape mixtape will give people just getting hip to the Worthy sound an idea of what to expect.

Worthy - Situation Grape Mixtape

View Mixtape Tracklist Here

Speaking of Christian Martin (1/2 of The Martin Brothers), We almost forgot to post this bangin’ Hookerz & Blow refix of The Martin Brothers’ Dub we snatched up from the Fluo Kids page a while back. Keeping true to the original, the rework relies heavily on a big boy 808 kit and 303 acid yelps. Thought it would finnish up this post nicely!

The Martin Brothers - Dum (Hookerz & Blow Short Bus Acid Mix)

Floating On Air

On a Tuesday in December

Sorry for the lack of posts recently. I’ve been keeping hella busy working up some neato best of 2008 lists that will make their way online very shortly.

Going to make a honest effort to add a few lists that offer something a bit different from the run-of-the mill “best tunes” or “best remixes” run downs. Keep an eye for the first of the series soon!

Also been hard at work coding the new version of the blogs theme. Only ironing out a few gremlins at this point so expect v2.0 to go live around the first week of January.

Have a mushroom!

Marshall Jefferson - Mushrooms (Meat Vs Einzelkind Remix)

Thanks Rory!

Sounds Of The Ghostman

On a Tuesday in December

Been sitting on this one for a few weeks now. With Voodoo riddims unearthed from the bone yard, Ghostman slays the dance with this sinister sounding floor slammer. Chalk full of rattling percussion and dusty subs, 25th Hour shakes the haunted house to it’s frame. Watch the breakdown.

Ghostman - 25th Hour

On a Monday in December

Those waiting for the recent Tartelet release by MHM One will be happy to know that the EP is now available in all shops.
