Did everyone have a good Christmas? Good, then we can get back to business! I remembered I've probably just sent out a few tracks before to you by Digitalism. Well, the truth is, DGTLSM is tha shit! Idealism lives up to its name, that's all I've got to say. Spin this at your New Year's Eve party and you're likely to get many up on the dancefloor! Hopefully not too many of your equally uneducated (hehe, just joking around with you ;P ) friends have heard this gem from 2007.
And oh, Brian! Yes, The Presets are signed to Modular and they are from Australia!

Nope, you don't have to check out an album this week. Let's take it a little easy before Christmas shall we? But LAZRtag is no reason to sit still. The young two dudes from LA have been kicking out colourful bangers for a year now or so. So there are a whole lotta remixes on Hypem to check out and also two original tracks this far. Download one of them here below!

Unfortunately, Discovery, Daft Punk's second album, is not enough electrohousy and danceclub-friendly to be on here. That's not what I was inteding to share with you. Human AFter All may not even be close to be as good as the two preceding albums but it's still a document on how Daft Punk could be "mediocre" and still deliver something that was groundbreaking and trendsetting for years to come to this date in dance and club music. And trust me here friends, when I say that Human After All is a GOOD album.

Well well. What can I say? Boys Noize are absolutely killing it nonstop through Oi Oi Oi. Top class rave and definitely one of the best dance releases of 2007. I may have tipped you off with some Boys Noize remixes before but the original stuff is dope as well. Do as I say now and get yourselves an early Christmas gift! You're worth it, Boys Noize is worth it and Oi Oi Oi is worth it!

The Presets were undeniably the ones to best fuse pop with ravey electrohouse and funk in 2008. Apocalypso is a hell of a blast and I'd be feeling guilty if not turning you into this album before the year has ended. There's the incredible intro-song Kicking And Screaming, the beautiful Depeche Mode-y This Boy's In Love the hardcore My People and Together and the fonky Yippi-yo Ay to name a few reasons to purchase this album. Do so below now after checking out the track!

Today I don't bring you a new album to check out. Instead I want you to turn your concentration to Dmitry Fyodorov which most accurately is described as below, taken from the Swedish (I think they are anyway!) duo's website:
"Dmitry Fyodorov - once a successful attack player in HC CSKA Moscow that mysteriously disappeared after an accident on the ice. Now, nearly 30 years later, his soul has returned in the form of dark, distorted house music to bring havoc to dance floors across the globe."
Icy cold and harsh Electrohouse is what can be expected. And you can bet your low-med salary on that it's gooooood! They have been putting awesome tracks every month this year which I have collected with amusement. I'm looking your way, Gab! This is definitely something for you:

The legendary (non)brothers from the UK had a blast with their fifth studio album released in 2005. If there's any dance album you'd like to check out from the past, it's The Chemical Brothers' most danceable and modern club-oriented album to this date. Push The Button pushes several and all the right buttons. I'd say it's a landmark record for British electronic dance music. Maybe the songs should've been edited down a bit, but in most cases this sixty minute album delivers fill dancefloor thrill all the way down. I won't respect you as my friends anymore unless you purchase this album right away!Push The Button @ AmazonThe Chemical Brothers feat. Q-Tip - Galvanize (zshare) (ysi)
As you all know, I've been away for a week's vacation on the Canaries! Wonderful! But now I'm back with some more awesome electronic dance music! This time it's rather fresh stuff... from no other than Frenchman Mr. Oizo. I know I've told you about and also showed some of you the old Levi's campaign and the video for Flat Beat featuring the yellow puppet Flat Eric who you can see above in the artwork. Lambs Anger is more like a mix of short glitchy tracks that Mr. Oizo has done but it's definitely one of his most accessible and most importantly danceable releases! Strongly recommended for mind-busting tongue-twisting electro fun!

Now let's check out Modeselektor's first album! You neeeed to hear it! Modeselektor make the best Eurocrunk, which they call it, around! Merged with techno and electro the sounds is astonishingly fresh and groundbreaking. Sick basslines, clever studio tricks, cutup vocals and mental bleeps and blops make up Hello Mom! as one of 2005's finest debuts. Weirdly enough!Hello Mom! @ AmazonModeselektor feat.

Not only does this release have one of the longest full names in music history:
"Most of the remixes we've made for other people over the years except for the one for Einstürzende Neubauten because we lost it and a few we didn't think sounded good enough or just didn't fit in length-wise, but including some that are hard to find because either people forgot about them or simply because they haven't been released yet, a few we really love, one we think is just ok, some we did for free, some we did for money, some for ourselves without permission and some for friends as swaps but never on time and always at our studio in Ghent."
but it has also got the longest full streak of absolutely pure rave genius! I dare say that this is THE definite remix collection of all time. Soulwax could keep doing remixes for an eternety instead of producing others and making alternative rock.Most Of The Remixes... @ AmazonGorillaz - Dare (Soulwax Remix) (zshare) (ysi)
Surrender is perhaps The Chemical Brothers' most acid and addicting album. Sour synths keep the addiction up and the pure psychedelica from The Private Psychedelic Reel from the previous album lingers on and is further accentuated. Surrender is a wicked and mind-blowing result but perhaps they could have fused it a little more clearly with dance music? But the album is still a markpoint of change for the brothers towards a more dancey style.Surrender @ AmazonThe Chemical Brothers - Hey Boy Hey Girl (zshare) (ysi)
If you're to start anywhere, my beloved friends, when it comes to Daft Punk, it's in their debut of course. But there's also another reason why you should start off with Homework. It's because it's a groundbreaking dance album establishing the force of repetition and the advantage of a funky bassline. While perhaps Cassius have the title of pioneers of the definite pure French touch sound, Homework remains the best-selling, most-praised and best record of that core sound.

German duo Modeselektor have a lot of wacky and weird stuff going on but Happy Birthday from 2007 is an album I urge to ALL of my friends to check out. They go bonkers with the bass on Hyper Hyper and Black Block while both TTC and Puppetmastaz has some of the best hip hop tracks from that year. It's a wicked experience and very underestimated as a dance release and serious proof of MDSLKTR's talent.

Yep, my friends I continue to educate my fellow followers of interest. SMD delivered one of the most fun and triggering dance albums of 2007. From electropoppy grooves to hard four on the floor electro, ADSR is a masterpiece of electronic dance music. Peppered with emotions, moods and humour it's a listen one is sure not to forget for long.

Hear hear, my uneducated friends! If thou have not yet purchased the definite album of 2007 I strongly suggest you do so. Frankly, it doesn't really matter what genres you might be into or what music you mostly like or listen to, Cross is an album that you have GOT to hear before you end this earthlife or thou shalt not be saved in the end! Justice brings havoc and justice alike to the dancefloor with an electro chainsaw massacre!

The Looks is not nearly enough as fresh as when it came out in 2006 but therefore it's also all the more fun to relisten to it. Work On You and Easy Love are of course instant dance classics but their debut album is full of other jams to jam your party jam with. Or whatever, eeerrrmmm... just go for the Amazon link if you're a newbie only having heard MSTRKRFT remixes this far.
