Even though I know it, I always forget just how absolutely huge electronic music really is in Europe, and the rest of the world for that matter. It's just pop music there y'all! This tour DVD that comes with the re-release of...   expand review  Booka Shade's very solid 2006 long player is major. It follows them to North America, Australia and their native European continent, riding in helicopters, jamming in front of jumping crowds and giving interviews along with their publicist and tour manager in front of lit candelabras! Also, includes live visuals, raw live performances and a grip of remixes, including two by Hot Chip, only playable ON the DVD (no iTunes unfortunately). But really, the magic lies in the album. If you haven't heard the album in its entirety and you've been at all interested in this German two piece, you should definitely pick this up. From major worldwide minimal electro house club bangers "Mandarine Girl(1)," "In White Rooms(2)" and and "Body Language(3)" to funky tech'd out sleeper tracks that are just as strong, like "Darko(4)," Booka Shade are forward thinking and consistent, with a strong grasp for hook and melody. They even slow it down and get slightly emotional on the Boards Of Canada like, "Lost High(5)." And, unlike most German club all stars' full lengths, this album comes complete with great sequencing and cohesive LP feel. Get with it if you haven't already. Recommended. -Rezound

Etienne De Champfleury's only other record was the 2006 electro-house hit "Dirty Disco" (which gets revisited here on the b-side). His latest buzz track, "Losing Control(1)" is an easy crowd pleaser, mixing electro and 80s elements including new wave vocals. The Benny...   expand review  Royal version(2) is a bit harder for the big room jocks. However, I think it's all about aforementioned b-side where Azzido Da Bass remmixes "Dirty Disco(3)." Azzido's remix is much darker but still focusing on that excellent vocal sample. The Dub version(4) is equally wicked. -the mgmnt

Jay Mitchell's version of Mustang Sally features some of the juiciest funk and drum breaks around. First you get the original version (go past halfway in and drool over that break!), but the Le Spam's Edit absolutely slays fools! All the "Mustang...   click for more

Coming from the archives of the Bronx's Tap label, Fabulous 3 MCs' "Rub A Dub Dub" keeps the quality alive. Even if the 3 (unknown) MCs are your prototypical disco-rappers talkin' bathtubs, A-to-Z&'s and stere-ere-ohs, their enthusiasm meshes well with the beat,...   click for more
