Homies AC Slater, Udachi, and B. Rich started a new record label, Party Like Us Records, based out of Brooklyn, NY.
“The mission with Party Like Us is to release dancefloor friendly tracks that incorporate all kinds of classic dance music elements with a creative and original edge. Basically, we like heavy bass that pounds and drives the dancefloor.”
At the Discobelle HQ the obvious question was: Who doesn’t?
First out is AC Slater with the track that shares name with the label. The orinial surfaced on the internet already in 2007 but it gets a new life with brand new remixes from Udachi, The Bulgarian, Kanji Kinetic and Shy Child. They give away the original and the Udachi remix away for free and the rest you can pickup at Beatport on January 20th.
Another remix from the project that Bacardi did with The Twelves. This time it’s Juan MacLeans time do a remix. The Juan MacLean did one of last years biggest tunes Happy House.
This video from The Very Best boys is just what we needed to as a pick me up after the party we played last night together with Jamtech Foundation (they seriously slaughtered it, they’ll be doing it big in 2009).
“Esau Mwamwaya went back to Lelongwe, Malawi in October 2008 for the first time in 9 years. I came with him to play at the Lake Of Stars festival and to shoot this video and film his homecoming in general. We had a crazy respons from local press, radio and tv. we rehearsed at Lucius Banda’s famous ‘Summit’ venue for 3 days with local dancers. We went to see the live venue where Esau’s music career started ‘Village Lodge’, and we hung out with Esau’s family and their neighbours outside of Lelongwe. Most of the kids dancing in the video is Esau’s brothers and all their neighbours kids. They all new all the words by the time we got there, very cute! We played Lake Of Stars festival, which argubly might be the best festival in the world. Ive been meaning to edit all the material since then but havnt had time. Now ive finally manged to sit down and do it and hopefully you’ll like it and get a little bit of insight into what Esau Mwamwaya is up to in Malawi at the moment.”
Oh yeah, grab that excellent The Very Best mixtape over here.
This new release from Kitsuné has been out for a while now but hit the blogs like crazy during the night and it was also featured on the Eric Valentine/The Superzeros mix that we posted the other day. “Riddle Of Steel” is the second original release from the the LA tagteam Johnny Love and Filip Turbotito that forms Guns ‘n’ Bombs and it’s a heavy electro bomb with some classic samples and breaks thrown in. Me like it!

Time to do a gig in Stockholm. We love to be back in the capital of Sweden again. This time we will be DJing with Jamtech Foundation at Grodan. So if you are in town, be sure to drop by and say hello. As always we will be updating our tour blog with pictures.
Truly an essential mix from Berlin based producer Jesse Rose. Also check his recent effort, the amazing single “Forget My Name” (released on Dubsided, the label run by Switch) which also features Hot Chip.
Leif and Palms Out are some of our favorite dudes of 2008 and this is a collaborative effort. Leif is just about to release his “Black Magic” EP, this remix by fellow NYC cohorts Stay High (check the original version here) keeps the track on more of a frantic and evil tip.
