Switch’s Dubsided label has fallen off the radar a bit until now. Buzz worthy producer Duke Dumont comes to the table with “The Dominion Dubs EP.” You have most likely seen the track “Hoy” bouncing around the interweb in recent weeks. One of the standout tunes from this five track EP is “Feltham” that is a James Brown funk inspired chunky house number that will be sure to make its way into sets from top DJs this year.
Live in LA? Halloween plans? The HARD Haunted Mansion lineup has been announced. Justice (DJ set), Soulwax, Simian Mobile Disco, Deadmau5, Boys Noize, Crookers, Crystal Castles, Jason Bentley, DJ AM, and Destructo are confirmed. Tickets are on sale now through Groovetickets.com.

Yes, a lot of Soulwax news here as of late but for good reason. We just got word from their camp that they are set to play the next “MySpace Secret Show” on Friday August 22 in London at Electrowerkz in Islington (7pm local time), an amazing warehouse style venue over 2 floors. The gig is FREE! For your chance to go to the show you need to:
- Add this page and Soulwax to your “Top Friends”
- Turn up on the day with your profile printed out
The event is first come, first served so get there early!
And don’t forget, the “Part of the Weekend Never Dies” DVD is officially released on September 8th.
It seams that Soulwax isnt the only dynamic duo getting into the documentary game. Justice previewing their film at the Chibuku Party in Manchester on November 8th where they will be playing along with DJ Mehdi, Busy P, So Me, Ivan Smagghe, Optimo Espacio, The Presets, Fake Blood, and Yuksek.
Here is a teaser for the film:
Big tune! The Chemical Brothers…..Soulwax……Do it.
The Chemical Brothers - Hey Boy, Hey Girl (Soulwax Remix)
Ok….ok…We know there are a ton of remixes of Pjanoo bouncing around but this one stands out from the rest. High Contrast on remix duties, giving Eric Prydz’s original a kick in the ass with some Drum & Bass flavor. Nicely done.

Is there anything musically that these guys don’t do well? Pure CD-J mastery. Don’t pass up an opportunity to see 2manydjs/Soulwax live if they come to your town. Its special.
Cheers to Glenjamn for sharing these!
XLR8R TV continues to impress with their series of interviews. Episode 69 is particularly interesting. Drop the Lime/Curses! (Luca Venezia) has an interesting story. Topics include growing up in New York, gospel choir, Chicago house, and jazz guitar. Intrigued? The reigning “heavy bass champion” music gives us a look inside.
Treasure Fingers was kind enough to give us the heads up on the recent official release of “Cross The Dancefloor” on Fool’s Gold Records with remixes from Curses!, Laidback Luke, Chromeo, and Lifelike. You can pick it up at iTunes, Beatport, Juno, and Turntable Lab. The pre-release has been a staple for us for some time now but this newly mixed and mastered version is top notch. We got the thumbs up to post the Lifelike remix which is excellent. He is on a plane as we speak to Australia for a short stint of DJ gigs. If you are out in that part of the world, make sure you go support. Enjoy the freebie and make sure you buy the full release!
