Rehosted as requested by ‘SUP!

How’s about a little Friday pick me up then? Fresh from blowing our little minds at Primavera Sound last week, Yeasayer have been remixed by new electro duo on the block, Clancy & Build, and we’ve been given the exclusive mp3 to download.

We’ve been dancing throughout the spring to the afrobeat joyness of “O.N.E.” and now it’s been chopped up and given a jolt of synths and electro stylings, making it even more perfect for the dancefloor.

And it’s a ‘SUP exclusive as it’s the first track that remixer/DJs Clancy & Build have produced together. Both producers have been blowing up the blogs with their previous ’80s-tinged remixes for the likes of Empire of the Sun, Phoenix, Delphic and Annie, and their first outing together is a match made in electronic heaven. As two heads are always better than one, non?

London chop-shop auteurs Clock Opera have done it again, this time laying hands upon Marina and the Diamonds‘ new single “I Am Not A Robot.” In matters of remixes that just might trump the originals, these lads are living proof that lightening strikes more than once. Zap! All of this leads up to Clock Opera’s own 7″ release of A Piece of String dropping June 7th on Maman Records. One can only imagine if they’re this good at bringing out the best in other people’s material, that their own stuff will be nothing short of amazing.

Ready for the weekend? Enter Team Rojas - aka EDG4R (Edgar Rojas) and STRAVINSKY (Erick Rojas) - who were kind enough to save the day with this very special mixtape entitled Wake Up! As the name suggests, we highly recommend starting your morning with these deep Boogie cuts. Now we can’t provide you with a convertible or a beach to drive alongside, but we can give you the soundtrack. See? The day looks better already. The Future’s so bright…

Be sure to check out ‘SUP’s video interview with Team Rojas at WMC 2010 - by far our fave discovery this year.

There have been rumblings (and last minute guestlist requests- you know who i’m talking about) regarding LCD Soundsystem playing Music Hall of Williamsburg tonight. 1st off, CONGRATULATIONS LIGHT ASYLUM ON THE OPENING SLOT!!! DAMN! 2ndly, ‘SUP will be holding down the fort at Penguin Prison ’s Mercury gig across the river. Why? Well it’s Penguin’s first ever live show…. and the last time we saw LCD it was one of the most amazing experiences a concertgoer could ever ask for. Check video clips from string of last great NYC shows in 2007. When have you seen kids going that crazy at Bowery? PS this was the week I got my point and shoot camera with video capabilities and obvs hadn’t mastered the whole ‘filming the whole song’ bit yet. Let’s just say I came, I saw, I picked up the Planning To Rock t-shirt.

So Cameron and I had the IMMENSE luck (more like God intervening) in showing up to the Big Beat relaunch party just in time for Robin S. to take the stage (Erm, stripper platform? It was a club on Washington and 12th during Winter Music Conference don’t judge!) and belt out “Show Me Love.” Seriously, we squeezed through the doors as we heard her pick up the mic and people started to cheer. Somehow we slipped up front right during those fabulous opening bars and she ripped into the song. And then she played it again (seriously, the video is below), and it was over. I mean why not live by your hit and a reprise? WE LOVE THIS WOMAN. Spotted: Isa GT and Laetitia *girlcore* getting down front and center! PS Isa’s PA CHIKIRRI EP drops this week on Man Recordings- here’s to the next generation of fabulous divas ala Robin S.!

Back from Winter Music Conference and multiple run-ins with Mr. F*** Me I’m Famous himself, David Guetta and the amazing Kelis. It’s only right that we share (FINALLY!!!) the video for Kelis‘ Acapella, perhaps our fave Guetta collaboration to date. Now to get some sleep… Links to our coverage to come!

God bless FIXED. JDH and Dave P have been commandeering NYC dance floors under that moniker for close to 5 years now. Whether holding court in a Greenpoint Polish disco or touring with SMD, it’s a safe bet that bodies will be moving by the time you squeeze in the door. Imagine our delight when we saw the lineup for this week’s party (Annie Mac! Dada Life!) is going down in the basement of the Tribeca Grand. No, not upstairs in the posh Sanctuary space cordoned off by a velvet rope, or in the screening room - we’re returning to the scene of the crime. Secret Rapture gigs, 2many DJ’s (and 2mandy DJ’s) ragers, and suprise Erol Alkan appearances have made the FIXED name legendary - so much so that the space was shut down for the past couple of years. With this sort of lineup, the legends will continue.

FIXED NYC w/ Annie Mac
Friday, October 2nd
2 Ave of the Americas
10 PM to 4 AM
Free with RSVP to: weare138nyc@yahoo.com
