The Best Dance Single of 2009

This year's best track is presented by a new arrival artist. Phonat has some other nice productions but 'Set Me Free' really captures the heart of everything I could ever hope to hear in the club. I am always surprised at the eclectic audience this song has reached. No matter what type of crowd I play it out at, several people will immediately start going insane.

The song's brilliance can be found in it's musical story telling. It starts out with some nice vocal chops that float around your brain in sleek stereo sound. There's a blueballing buildup that teases you until your begging for the beat to drop.

A visual representation of 1:33-2:02 would be clouds parting after a thunderous storm. Poseidon just having reacked havock on the earth becomes tired and retreats back into the ocean's depths. You (the listener) are one of the only survivors left on earth, Your tattered and body floating above the treacherous deep. A beam of light pierces through the dark sky and strikes your skin causing a numbing sensation.

the heavens open up.

you are lead into a place of beauty, comfort and elation.

You can fly.

Other producers would be content with leaving their song finished here, having established a nice hook and general vibe for their single. Not Phonat. Like a twist in a plot, he turns the song upside down around 3:18, launching us into a full on banger...tech...shit storm? I'm not sure what to call it but it's amazing and floors me every time.

Then toward the end there's a quick medly of everything you've heard, sort of like at the end of musicals where they mash up all the songs of the show so they get stuck in your head during the car ride home.

The Hood Internet used the last part of this song for an awesome Kid Sister mash up, the song is brilliantly mastered and produced, the album artwork is gorgeous the video is epic...

[Side Note] For those of you who would applaud me for not making a top ten of 09, don't. Mine's just a little late. For now here's the best dance single of 2009.

Pick Up the Phone

Just got this killer remix of Dragonette's 'Pick up the Phone' single.

"We are Victor and Raúl, from Here We Are, a Spanish electro-band (from Madrid specifically). Recently we have won a Dragonette's remix contest at an important Spanish electronic-music blog called NEONIZED, and we would like that our remix of 'Pick up the Phone' appears at your blog if it possible and you like it"

Yes its possible. And yes I like it. I had to keep the broken English as is (always the most endearing emails).

This is a seriously good track. It's a got a pretty much infinite replay ability. At certain points the vocals drown a bit in the mix, but thats the only negative criticism I can give it. Nice job and I look forward to watching 'Here We Are' grow as a band/producers.

Hot Damn! Star Wars Adidas!

If you're following the NN Twitter, you already know about this.

Sometimes my fanboy self spills out. I can't help it. I love Star Wars. I love Adidas.

It seems like every time I get down about how shitty the Star Wars prequels were, something like this comes up and reminds me of why I fell in love with the original trilogy. Adidas has been chosen to represent a new line of Star Wars sneakers (due sometime in 2010). Judging from previous SW related shoes, these will probably be in the $80-90 range. Additional info on the product here.

I'm not into the Vader ones. I don't like shoes that look like something my dad would work out in. The orange Skywalker hi tops and X-Wing Rebel Alliance ones however...need those.

Might as well call Le Principle the funk doctors. They're out there every night performing cpr on tunes you thought was dead. Listen to these jams they recently resurrected called 'The Music' and 'Lost In Music'. They're my favorites out of a pack of free tunes they gave away through twitter.

Last I heard they were supporting Major Lazer and Rusko, so keep your eyes peeled for the rise of this duo.

Hard

Chew Fu has been on a rampant 'Fixing' spree this year. As if every pop song he heard was created broken from the start and needed his magical touch. His newest Rihanna remix will be a fun sequel for those who loved his take on Bad Romance. The Hard remix is crisp, clean and fizzles in your throat like a swig of sprite.

Is 'bitch' the new word to take back from the man and flaunt?

I was sad to see the absense of Jeezy's vocals in this remix.

Nashville Nights 2.0

This idea has been in the works for a bit...

The cute pink and green pet of mine, which we were all fond of at one point lost its initial charm. Overtime it became less fun. Messier and out of control. There was that one odd instance where it bit the neighbor kid. There were legal accusations and then the blog just started losing control of motor/bowel functions. It had to be put down. It was time to move on; to go forward and create an environment that encouraged people to stick around for a bit.

Welcome to Nashville Nights 2.o. My aim for this version is to enhance the readership of what I write here. Smaller text, gray on white. Simple. Clean. Engaging. Seeing as there's about twenty (thousand) or so of us bloggers that post virtually the same material every day, our readers will have to become more selective with who they pick to be their dealers.

Having said that I think the explosion of dance music circulated through the internet is brilliant. We've somehow turned our consumption of entertainment into something similar to a job. Amazing! We get free, often great music in the mail daily in exchange for a few kind words and some time spent with yousendit/mediafire and typing in '___artist name___ myspace' into google.

Welcome to 2.0! Enjoy some good music ahead. We're not killing the old blog, just getting it a new suit for Christmas.

Oh and a huuuuuge thanks to the music ninja. He's the guy that created the ReplyAll site minutes (seconds even) after the event occurred. I had the artistic vision for what I wanted, but he was able to work all the mechanics. Thanks again Blas.

I'm now obligated to wow you with a new 2.0 victory track but to be honest, I've been on a strictly Delphic kick lately. Those two remixes are amazing.

Also check out the Van She Interview if you haven't already. Fun stuff.

Feel free to leave your grievances, memories, hatred, love of the old Nashville Nights in the comments. Or else you can tell us (me) what you'd like to see or hear in the future. Thanks,

-Joseph (NN)

Doubt

Two amazing Delphic remixes for you today. They're different types of mixes. The Riton version is club ready providing a quick escalation into a powerful brit pop floor filler complete with bleeps, bloops and all that jazz.

The Ramadanman remix is a more relaxed rendition of the Delphic single. This one dives into the melody and verses of 'Doubt'. It's a very enjoyable and sleek tune perfect for that nu age apartment I'm saving up for.

Interview: Mikey di Francesco of Van She

Few bands have been able to slide into my musical radar and stay there as abruptly as Van She; a band who recently released their debut album 'V' on the much adored Modular Record label. On the album are several lasting singles broadcasted in a style that takes all the things you love from the past and tweaks them into a fresh approach for the present.

It was the Van She Tech sound that first locked me into a lasting relationship with the band’s music. I can’t remember which rework I heard first. It could have been any number of productions ranging from an extraordinary list of artists including Feist, Klaxons, Dragonette, Teenager, New Young Pony Club and more.

The sound of the Van She Tech remix captured everything I loved about the music being made during that time: disco beats that give the rest of the production room to breathe, powerful synth leads, catchy vocals and often an appropriate hint of cowbell.

Once I was hooked on their remix releases I was more than ready to enjoy the album’s singles, “Cat & the Eye”, “Changes”, mega hit “Kelly”, “So High” and my personal favorite, “Virgin Suicide”.

So without further adieu, here’s my chat with Mikey di Francesco of Van She and Van She Tech fame:

Joseph: Bacardi's been doing a lot to support the current dance scene. How did you and B-live decided on covering Blue Oyster Cult?

Mikey: We chose "don't fear the reaper" primarily because it's a beautiful song but we wanted to do something that was not a major hit and overly popular. Also because it suited Nick’s approach to vocals and it's in "the frighteners" not to mention the more cowbell thing. We love will Farrell too. Land of the Lost was awesome and also because they gave us shit loads of Bacardi.

[Side Note] I also enjoyed Land of the Lost.

What sort of sounds can we expect from your second album? Please avoid the trap many artists make after their first successful debut (heaping on as many featured big name alternative celebrities as possible).

No plans to heap on big name alternative celebrities, not that we have anything against them. As for rules there are no rules I would say that overall it's going to be a little more dance floor like a haunted disco where dracula is the bar manager or something. We have spoken to hoops about doing some backing vocals though.

You’ve been remixed by a huge handful of talented individuals, (Yuksek, Alan Braxe & Fred Falke, Lifelike, Strip Steve, G.L.O.V.E.S to name a few) whose rendition of a Van She song is your favorite?

Personally my favorite is the Shinichi Osawa remix of Kelly. He took it to a harmonic avenue that I didn't see on the map, really inspiring stuff.

I spent a couple days before the interview intricately searching through thousands of adult films and still can’t place a certain sample. I think the question on everyone’s mind is, “What’s the name of the porno used in the “Are You The One” remix?

Ha ha no well to be honest it's from a sample cd from the late 90's called extatic goldmine. It's actually one of the first sample discs I ever got from a friend back in the days where you had to play it from the cd and sample it into the sampler. We just needed to fill some holes and what better way to do it than with some porn fx, it's an inherent part of human nature so naturally everybody relates to it. But if you want to hear some rocking porn dialog check out gant gerrard "hot mamma" on dusttraxx Chicago.

I used to live by the code that was the Van She synth guitar tone (You know what I’m talking about). What happened to that sound? I’m noticing it’s not in any of your new remixes, why???

Well I think we really did do it to death, occasionally I pull it out. That sound is actually thanks to an awesome synth called the dave smith poly evolver and that synth is all over the remixes and the album. I had serial number 51. Amazing machine but that particular patch is really 2007-2008 to us now, we need to re jig the ingredients.

What is your favorite article of clothing and why?

Too many to mention probably something my uncle made or gave me.

When I first popped in my Crystal Castles cd the song now known as “Vanished” showed up as “Cex Sity”. At the time I did a little research and found out “Sex City” is the name of a Van She song, making “Vanished” a hidden code (Just blew ya brain). Are the Castles long time friends of yours?

Well they originally did a remix of it and then asked if they could use it as a track on their record which was nice. We like them.

“Here With You” Is one of the most dreamy, beautiful and overlooked tracks you guys have ever made. What were some of the inspirations for this song and why’d it get left off the album?

"Here With You” is on the first and only ep thus far. That track was originally something else and evolved in the studio, yeah it's one of the only van she songs I can actually listen to without wanting to leave the room, I think it's one of our greatest works. It's special to us, we often pull it out when we are really high and Marvell at how awesome we are ha ha just kidding.

When was the last time you used your status as a celeb to get something for free?

F grade celeb. Modular gives us CDs and LP's when we go in and sometimes we get into shows if we know someone but I don't imagine getting stuff for free. If a celeb is so rich then they should pay full price [Hear Hear!] You may get some clothes for free but you are expected to wear them. Having said that we love presents! Like when Bacardi gave us a case of Bacardi.

Location of best sunset or sunrise?

Somewhere between Los Angles and San Diego. Desert mountains on one side, edge of the earth on the other and highway in the middle

--------------------------------------------------------------

After a bit of touring as well as a fairly decent remix comp of 'V' titled 'Ze Vemixes' Van She settled down and made a lovely Blue Oyster Cult cover in partnership with Bacardi's B-Live program. You can find it bellow along with Holy Ghost!'s remix of the cover. As for my own thoughts, I couldn't be more excited for this new vampire bartender album. With the pace that we hustle music these days ol' 2007 is practically retrograde. And since retro will always be in I plead of you Van She please bring back that synth sound in some of your newer remixes. I will never tire of it! Be sure to check them out when they begin touring again and always be looking for Van She Tech remixes.

DTTT - i only have eyes for you

The intro is wonderful. Then we're launched into something that sounds like an edgier version of his technologic remix. Once the general feeling of the song is established it remains stagnant for a good period of time until some vocal cut ups change the pace.

This single is a frankenstein clusterfuck. An audio clip meets us halfway through the song telling us how 'chaos reigns!' which is appropriate given the discordant nature of the song.

For me the project doesn't pick up until the driving bass melody arrives around 5:37. At this point the song has almost finished. I think the last thirty seconds of this single could make a cool full length.

Grandtheft. The XX. Erol. Boys Noize.

Grandtheft, where'd the funk go?

With the birth of Ducksauce and others I was really looking forward to a new wave of funk fused club music that Grandtheft (looking at previous works) should also be pioneering.

I have no doubt that this new XX remix will flourish in the clubs but I was disappointed to see the incredible guitar hook in Crystalised completely absent in GT's mix.

GT's been with NN since the beginning so I'm more critical of his mixes than other stuff I get in the mailbox.

His take on Death Suite is a direct hit. He's used one of this years best collaborations and squished it into a three minute punchy dance banger. Enjoy.

Golden Bug EP related to AC2

Golden Bug recently released the 'Assassin' EP on Bang Gang12s and since then, they have been producing some nice promotional mixes,

"Ever since Ubi Soft announced Assassin's Creed 2 at e3 we've been eagerly anticipating its release. We are huge fans of the first one and made this ep in the time spent not searching the internet for leaked AC2 footage. A lot of gaming goes on at Bang Gang. We just recently held a MW2 [Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2] tourney that was a lot of fun. Shazam and Cassian didn't play (they prefer Halo3)"

The source goes on to explain the plot line, graphics engine and musical score of the game as well as release day excitement,

"Once Nov. 17th rolled around, all of us scrunched into the tour bus, drove over to best buy, chipped in and took turns beating the game."

Here are some promos surrounding the E.P's release that you might enjoy. I'm a big fan of 'Assassin', a song that begs to be hijacked and rapped over by an mc that doesn't suck. If you like what you hear, head over to BG12s to get the full thing!

This Years Best WTF Track - "Snake"

At night there's a snake hiding under my bed...

I was sitting in the g-lab sorting through a giant batch of emails when I came across the "Reverse Engineering" remix of Oy's single "Snake". The strange voice inflections had me cracking enough to rip out the headphone chord so others could take part in the hilarious and bizarre musical experience.

The original track summons the spirit of salad fingers while enticing you with gorillaz style falsetto. The Reverse Engineering version is more comical, providing you with blunt bold face lyrics over a ghetto-golden-eye instrumental.

There's also an acid house version mixed by Sutekh, if you're into acid house. I find the genre to be near unlistenable seeing as I'm usually sober but for those mad trippers poppin fat mollie hits, you might enjoy this one.

PARTY TIP: Go find a huge crowd of people and play snakes (r.e. remix) on full volume. Whatever is meant to happen will happen.

Major Lazer "Keep it Going Louder" from Eric Wareheim on Vimeo.

One of my favorite Major Lazer songs has gotten the Wareheim treatment (following a pattern of vibrantly colorful sexploitation clips). When I first heard this song I wondered how the masses would like it, being an extremely bubblegum pop song too cute for blog house and not quite accessible enough for the radio.

This video will be the way in which this song is accepted into the blog culture.

Golden Filter - Thunderbird [Video] + Commentary

The Golden Filter shelled out some big bucks to get R.L. Stine to write their storyboard for the new video single, "Thunderbird". Stine says, "The video reflects the narrative of a couple young teens, just having closed shop at Anthropology and wanting to unwind after a hard day of putting together several giant wooden deer decorations. The Golden Filter gave me a lot of artistic freedom with the project. I asked them what their ideas were and they handed me a piece of paper with three words on it:"

Stine enjoyed working on the project so much that he asked the Filter crew to collaborate on his upcoming feature length, "Lets Get Invisible!" (2011 /Focus Features).
