It's refreshing to hear uplifting house music verging on disco still has a place in the world. It's refreshing to know that the guy that remixed Chaka Khan and Prince to such great effect back in day is still around. It's refreshing to hear uplifting house music verging on disco still has a place in the world. It's refreshing to feel the glow of early-evening spring-time. It's refreshing to know that you can just dip into SoundCloud and end up with a smile on your face. Feeling like some refreshments?

This is a tight little mix that really get's going about 15 minutes in. A jacking undercurrent keeps the thin minimal infrastructure lifted. I'd be interested to know what the tinkling little number is about 30 mins in but couldn't dig up a tracklisting for this one. There's a bit more info here, but I'm afraid that's all I've got for the time being.

Agnès is due to be headlining tonight. A Swiss producer with a penchant for dubbed out minimal productions. For some reason I don't get to check out much minimal these days, so looking forward to seeing what Kontrol has to offer. In the meantime, here's a taste of the man himself in the mix recorded at Hidden in NYC.

Not exactly sure why I have this latent distrust of Texas; after all you'd have thought I'd have lived through enough racism not to fall into the trap of tarring all with the same brush. What a surprisingly delightful place Austin turned out to be. Not exactly sure why I have this latent distrust of Texas; after all you'd have thought I'd have lived through enough racism not to fall into the trap of tarring all with the same brush. But yes, for some strange reason I expected all Texans to live on ranches and spend their spare time regaled in cowboy boots and sturdy hats. Austin was different. We stumbled into a gay cowboy bar but that was about the extent of that metaphor. The kids were all goth, punk or hip hop. That reflected the live music just about everywhere you turn. And thrown in the mix were a smattering of dance acts, many of whom I've featured here... AA 24/7 (Diplo Remix) - Dance Area You'll hear more from Diplo later but this was just a little snippet of what happens to banal acapellas in the hands of a bootie maestro. Positif (Pink is Punk Remix) - Mr Oizo He warbles and he's messy. Welcome to the tripsodasical mind of Mr Oizo. Oh, and watch him turn the tune in a direction you just couldn't have dreamed when the French woman screams 'arrêt'. Bounce Up - Kyle Watson Funk + fidget = some quite serious 'bounce'. She Got It (Cheap As Chimps vs HeavyFeet Remix) - HeavyFeet Touring as a three-man DJ/MC combo, these guys cite influences as diverse as Jesse Rose, Timbaland and Old School Rave - all of which are papable, even after Cheap As Chimps have been involved in a thorough scrubbing. High Roller (iamxl remix) - Ice T If you do tune into these mixes, you'll probably know that I'm a sucker for a remix. This time Ice T gets a royal dust-off. They Live! (Felix Cartal remix) - Evil Nine The break beat stomper from Evil Nine gets some high throttle disco slapped on top. Missing You (Howard Who Remix) - Everything But The Girl See, I told you I was a sucker for the remix. There's more to come, so just get used to it. Muscimol (Joachim Spieth Remix) - Bjîrn Scheurmann Just a little patch of going in deep. Bot (Original Mix) - Deadmau5 And here the the techno/trance maestro shows how seemingly different genres can come together. Congoloid (Minimow Remix) - Solo African rhythms are everywhere these days. From Township Funk through to Diplo you cannot escape. The same here. Tanya Stephens - "It's a Pity" (Lulu Rouge Bootleg) Spellbinding accordian-led dancehall 2-step. Tanya Stephens is new to me, but Lulu R has set me on a track to find out more. LIL WAYNE - A MILLIE (NADASTROM REMIX) - Lil Wayne Nadastrom lay down chunky maximal beats on top of Lil Wayne going off on one. Syrupsniph - Flunk Dubby, twangy, electro. WTF (DJ Wool remix) - Tittsworth I know you shouldn't have regrets but do wish I'd caught one of T's SXSW shows. Must Be A Devil (CSY remix) - Diplo Here he is again - just couldn't resist it. This time CSY is pulling the levers. My Teenager Gang - Minilogue I actually didn't realize this slab of techy funk was Minilogue til' the mix was done. Darkness.2 (Edit) - James Zabiela Driving harder, interspersed with as great little 'pop'. Black Music (One Kitten vs Chris T-T Remix) - Chris T-T Anti-folk like you've never heard it before.
