Stevie Tech Nicks mixtape for Radio Sidekick

Our good friend Stevie Tech Nicks sent us an exclusive mixtape from his latest collection of records and mp3s. Maybe you’ve heard the stuff he did for Disco Belle or Wifebeater Love or his remix of The Tough Alliance tune Neo Violence.
I’ve been dancing to this all day and it’s the perfect mixtape to pump up you’re weekend. So get started and move your feet!

This is a great tune to get your Friday started correctly. It’s the Sebo Ks remix of Radio Slaves, “Bell Clap Dance”. It’s a slow beating tune that’s also perfect for the dance floor.

Show Me Love

Last week the club went mad when we played classic house, especially when we put on the classic Robin S tune “Show me love” right before Happy Mondays entered the stage. Stockholm Beat Connection showed us the way to this smashing mashup between Robin S, Steve Angello and Laidback Luke.

Romanoff - Two tears

We’ve got mail from the highly talented Romanoff from Brooklyn, New York. And if you like what you hear we recommend that you visit their Space for more great downloads.
This is one of our favourite tunes that we’ve been playing in the studio all day.

DJ DLG - Axons

DJ DLG fell in love with dance music way back in the '80s but his first release as DLG came in 2002 with “Headfunk”. Since then he’s been releasing his productions, remixes and kept on DJing successfully.
His next upcoming single XESS will be released soon on John Dahlbäcks label Pickadoll so watch out for that. This is the banger Axons that he dropped a few months ago.

Huge thanks to Fluo Kids

Housewives

If you’re in Sweden this weekend you should definitely visit Disobedience this Saturday in Lund. They invited Housewives and we can guarantee that it will get brilliant. I caught one of their shows this summer and they delivered a great show. If you’re not able to go you can download this mix they did a while back, and if you’re going it’s a great mix to warm up with before the gig.

Housewives “Put On Your Dance Shoes Mix”

Sorry about Sendspace but it's a big file, 136mb

Kopia - Sometimes

Here’s a tune from our good friend Kopia. He made this about 1½ year ago and he don’t know if it’s gonna be on a record later on but he wanted to release it on his blogg anyway.
It’s a beautiful tune and we hope that there will be more music from Kopia shortly.

Kopia "Sometimes"

Mika - Happy Ending (Kleerup Remix)

This weekend

If you are from southern Sweden you have lots of places to go.
Friday there´s our favorite etnoguys from Radio Clit playing at I love!
Lund seems to shape up as well with both Loaded at Ariman and the one time only club Disco Destruction. They promise to play Surkin, Boys Noize, Kavinsky, remixes, b-more and so on.
We like! Lund needs more places like that. Discobediance and Loaded are almost all there is if you want to do some clubbing.

On Saturday it´s a tie between Drama and Pastell.

Avenue D is breaking up!

It saddens me to tell you that one of my favorite groups Avenue D is leaving the music scene. At least as a group.
Check out the news at their homepage or their myspace page(where they have some downloads as well).
They will do two final gigs, if you are happy enough to be in the States:

Dec. 1st - Brooklyn, NY @ Area 51 (Their birthday party)
Dec. 29th - Miami, FL @ Studio A

To ease the pain for you here are some of their dirty, danceable electro that we all love so well:

Avenue D "2D2F(Erland Oye Remix)"
Avenue D "You love this ass(Pete loves this acid mix)"

Ghetto ways

Baron Von Luxxury did this remix of the indie-rock band Scissors For Lefty tune Ghetto ways. Maybe it’s not a big surprise but it’s far better than the original and I really like what he’s done with it.

Radio Sidekick + Happy Mondays

Martin from Radio Sidekick is playing records on the Happy Mondays gig at KB tomorrow.
Since Hacienda was dope at the time and I have been looking for an excuse to post some old house tunes, here are some tracks for you:

Joe Smooth "Promised Land"
Farley Jackmaster 'Funk' "Love can't turn around"

They are from an old mix by the legend Marshall Jefferson so the ends are a bit blurry.
Here is a video as well to really get you back in time:

Étienne de Crécy - FUNK (The Bloody Beetroots remix)

This is one of my favourite tracks right now and I’ve finally got around to blog it. The Bloody Beetroots is doing some pretty interesting DJ-shows for the moment with people like Yuksek, Goose, The Glass and soon their doing a couple of gigs with Justice.
Make sure to catch one of their shows if the opportunity strikes you.

Maskinen - Alla som inte dansar

Danger - 19h11

Guitars: Check!
Filters: Check!
4/4 beat: Check!

Nobody makes bangers as the Frenchmen. And the EP "09.14 2007" is so good it´s not even funny. It contains 4 tracks that will be your hand waving theme songs for many club nights to come. Buy the EP while you at it. A nice DatA remix of 11h30 (yes they all got those kind of names) included.

Check out Discobelle for 14h54

Danger "19h11"

M.I.A. - Paper Planes (Remix ft. Rye Rye and Afrikan Boy)

Paper Planes is my personal favourite of the latest M.I.A. album so when I heard that the highly talented Rye Rye helped her out on this one I loved it from the start.
Our last post showed Rye Rye latest video of Shake it to the ground that she did with Blaqstarr and she’s also been touring with M.I.A. so we will definitely see more of her in the near future.

Hug VS. Familjen (Postverkets delivery mash)

Postverket is not only a brilliant DJ and musician he is also a member of the Radio Sidekick team. This is his mashup of one of the best Swedish tune this year.

Hug VS. Familjen ”Birds i min skalle (Postverkets special delivery mash)”

We are the party!

Earlier we posted Ryan Justin’s brilliant “Yoyo” tune and you probably heard his Boys Noize and SebastiAn remixes. Now he sent us his latest work "We are the party".

Ryan Justin “We are the party”

Katt Williams - Shinin (Ft Mike Jones & Paul Wall)

Sometimes you have to put your ego aside and post stuff that you slept on. When Katt Williams dropped this bomb and our friends over at First up! posted it, you just have tip your hat and put Mike Jones number on your cell.
He now helps you shine as well as gets you that purple stuff that they love down there.

Kicks ft. Prince Rob & John J. - In da au

Photo

It’s quite often that I write about a tune that's perfect for a certain day of the week and this is one of those. This is the perfect Thursday’s Hiphop tune.
Kicks with help from Prince Rob and John J. did this "In Da AU" about the Atlanta University Center, a nice place for parties and fun.

Kicks ft. Prince Rob & John J. "In da AU (dirty)"

Etienne Jaumet - Repeat Again (Âme Remix)

Photo

Here's another Radio Sidekick favourite. We’ve been playing this track all day in the studio.
Etienne Jaumet got a new brilliant EP out on Versatile Records and I can’t think of a more perfect match to do a remix of his tune “Repeat Again” than Âme.

Etienne Jaumet "Repeat Again (Âme Remix)"

Kanye - Get 'Em High (A-Trak remix)

Photo

It’s not the first time we’ve heard the Knifes tune Heartbeat in a mix. But still, this is a great A-Track remix and you’ve cant go wrong mixing these to artist together.

Where's The Party At

Photo

This one is for all off you that don’t believe that the weekend ends on Sunday morning. The Swedish duo Dada Life is well known for dropping high class dance tunes like Big time, Vote Yes and Fun Fun Fun. Where's The Party At is a brilliant tune to get you’re week started in the right gear.

Tonite Only "Where's The Party At (Dada Life remix Larry Powers re-rub)"

Zombie Disco Squad

I really enjoy this new Zombie Disco Squad tune. It’s a remix from Daggers latest double A-Side Vinyl release.
The Zombies are livin' it large right now so make sure that you catch one of their shows because they are touring all over the place. And if you missed it you should visit their highly entertaining blog.

Daggers "Magazine (Zombie Disco Squad)"

Villains - Thrilla

This is a tune from our favourite Villains. Los Angeles finest been dropping some serious tunes lately, like the Bloc Party remix and I really like the Daft Punk edit of "Around the world".

Villains "Thrilla"

Justus Köhncke - Feuerland

Justus Köhncke got a new 12 out on Kompakt and it’s highly recommended.

Justus Köhncke "Parage"

Kamisshake - Dark Beat (Fuzzy Hair Re-Edit)

Photo

Damn, this Kamisshake tune is so much Ibiza that it should be named "Dark Ibiza Beat” instead.
It’s been one of the biggest hits this year in the Sidekick studio and we'll probably gonna keep on playing it way past year 2008.

Kamisshake "Dark Beat (Fuzzy Hair Re-Edit)"

Bag Raiders - Nil by Mouth

You can’t go wrong with a new Bag Raiders tune. This Australian duo has been doing mixes of artist like Muscles, Soulja Boy and Yo Majesty just to mention a few. And their tune Fun Punch is still a personal favourite on the dance floor. Soon they got a new EP out, you should grab it before it’s too late.

Bag Raiders “Nil by Mouth”

Ryan Justin - yoyo

It’s been a beautiful start this Friday, I stumble upon some great tunes and this Ryan Justin was a great surprise. I love the beat, the messed up voice and the scary noises.

Ryan Justin "Yoyo"

Clipse - Mr. Me Too (Neon Coyote Remix)

You’ve probably heard Neon Coyote a couple of times before but if this is you’re first encounter you should definitely check out his blog and MySpace for some more tunes.
This is the brilliant remix of Clipse tune “Mr. Me Too”, it’s been on repeat in the office all morning.

Kylie Minogue - 2 Hearts (Alan Braxe Remix)

Kylie Minogue is all over the place with here latest single 2 hearts. And already there’s been several really good remixes off it. This Alan Braxe mix dropped a couple off days ago. It’s not that different from the original and it still got a lot of vocals on it, but sometimes that’s a good thing.

Kylie Minogue - 2 Hearts (Alan Braxe Remix)

Best video!

No doubt about it. For a t-shirt loving freak like me the Justices D.A.N.C.E. video is the best video this year. Kanye West didn’t stand a chance!

Ayo Technology (Stellar DRV Remix)

Photo

Damn good remix of 50 Cents tune Ayo Technology. I kind of liked the original also but this is so much better and definitely the best remix of Fifty I’ve heard in years.

Staffan Lindberg Remix

Here's a little treat for you to get the weekend started a bit early. Our good friend Staffan Lindberg sent us his latest remix of Justin Timberlake’s “Love Stoned”. Its pure gold and the perfect tune to get you’re November started right.
