Who likes Short Shorts?
Mr Jones and POGO resident Shortie has sent over this mix exclusively for CLIMAXXX. It features acts like Rye Rye, Para One, RoisÃn Murphy, Surkin and Soft Tigers and is full of modern day summer jams like the Black Kids 'I’m Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend How To Dance' alongside some original synth classics like Juniors 'Do You Really Want My Love'. Basically lots of good-time summer numbers!
Shortie was raised on a hip-hop diet and was a bit of a late comer to the electro-ghetto scene. He's doing all right so far though with a 4 hour stint at POGO tomorrow night as well as slots at Oxygen and Electric Picnic to look forward too.
Check the mix below for a wee taster.

Mad Decent Videocast
We are huge fans of all thing Diplo and Mad Decent related round these parts and I being a huge fan of Sesame Street am loving the latest video from their podcast series.
I love that old faded animation, Sesame Street really was an important institution for many growing up, I never realised at the time the calliber of musical talent thay got either. Check out Stevie Wonder's amazing live performance of Superstytion below.
For some reason this clip really sticks out in my memory, much have seen it 50 times growing up.
Ah the memories...

Work It Out

I've been working it out a lot recently,and, though its no substitute, whacking some banging bassy tunes to get you going is the next best thing I've found to throwing some real club action on the dance floor.
A-trak is the latest artist commissioned by Nike for their Nike Plus Original Run Series, following the likes of LCD Soundsystem, Aesop Rock, and the ever wonderful Cassius in producing a mix called 'Running Man' built around the body's own work out rhythms. Fader magazine has just released a little preview and this mix is sounding like it should get ye all up of your asses and pumping!
Check the preview out here.
The full mix is out on June 24th, only on the iTunes Nike Sport Store, mark it down!
And if by the end of the summer you are sick of running, you can still catch A-Trak at the Electric Picnic. Phew!
The day the music died.

Let's Remix It.
First up, from Melbourne, Vinyl Man & Wax Boy have sent over this remix of The Cranberries 'Zombie' (must have figured out the Irish connection). Melbourne has a great scene right now that's fully embraced todays cut-up culture, you here a lot of Bmore and Baile about the place and producers like Switch are massively popular. They seem to look after their local DJs too, with the better ones gaining loyal followings and good festival slots, which is always good to see.

Next up, Paul Devro's mix of Fleetwood Mac has been getting a great reaction all over the place including some moving sing-a-long action down the local. Sounds like it's going to be cheesy I know, but give it a lash at the end of the night and listen up!

Bodytonic announce EP lineup

Well, the lads have just announced it and I think its lived up to expectations. They have changed it up a bit this year opting to have 3 tents, 1 big, 2 small to create a Bodytonic village and allow them to put on a lot more acts, local and international. It's a nice mix of established solid acts (Prins Thomas & Lindstrom) and some brand new ones too (Benga, Toddla T) with a nice representation of local talent too (A$$quake , Downtown Sounds, Acci Disco, Electric City) CLIMAXXX is particulary looking forward to:
Modeselektor
Roni Size
The Count & Sinden
Diplo! (see post)
Toddla T (see post)
Benga (see post)
Prins Thomas & Lindstrom

Stay tuned for an MP3 special on many of these chaps next week!

I would do anything for this collection!
Recognise that little fella? Yep, Carlton Banks, The Fresh Prince's dancin' cuzz. Alfonso Ribeiro to his mom, as a youngster he also starred opposite Michael Jackson in a Pepsi ad before landing the role in The Fresh Prince. Later in his career he directed a few TV shows and went on to become a successful reality TV star, winning the US show Celebrity Duets. Looking at the early vids there is no doubt the kid had talent, you can't help but think that landing the role of Will's dorky cousin was a bit of a poisoned chalice, he was never really able to shake the image. Like Saved by the Bell's Screech before him, he will never have his own identity.

Diplo Fuzzy Peach Mixtape

As you might have guessed, I'm mad for Diplo. Mad decent. His latest mixtape is a genre-crossing, rhythm changing, altogether idosyncratic mix. Its not so much a DJ set as like listening to an ecletic radio show, perfect for bopping around town. In return for this little gift, lets play guess the tracks! Start your comments below, the winner will receive his or her very own Fuzzy Peach...

Mehdi, Busy P & Arveene

It's giveaway time again, this week it's DJ Mehdi, Arveene and Busy P courtesy of Transmission Dublin, held every Saturday in the Button Factory. They have an Ed Banger special this week with head honcho Busy P dropping by with one of his more talented signings - DJ Mehdi. While Busy P (Pedro Winters) DJ skills are nowhere near his management skills, he has a great reputation as a crowd pleasing hype man. Luckily Mehdi and local legend Arveenes skills will more then make up for Busy's iffy mixing. Check out this cool little video for 'I Am Somebody' below and a few tracks to whet your appetite.
To win tickets to this event send an email to onechewlove@gmail.com and tell me the name of DJ Mehdi's recent album. Look:
