We’re very excited to announce our first guestmixer here on Swingers Blog! You can please your ears with a brandnew Hot Toddy mixtape. Hot Toddy or Chris Todd is the bassplayer of Crazy P. and is getting a lot of attention with his productions lately. He did a few great remixes for Crazy P. and he also just released an excellent 12 inch on Eskimo called ‘I Need Love’ with a Morgan Geist dub on the flip. You can buy the track here. For us, Hot Toddy is really one of the producers of the moment, the last few months we had almost always a Toddy track in our dj-bag, so yes we are really excited that we can present you this great mix!

We’re throwing our first party on Thursday the 12th of November at Rumba&Co in Leuven! The dj’s we selected are young Belgian talent’s; Liss., Cauchy & Leroy P. Hardy; the famous Belgian dj-duo Cook-E & Matik and ofcourse yours truly. Please visit us on facebook and on Myspace. You can also find more info about our first party at the Pages-section.
Angelo Badalamenti is undoubtly one of our favorite composers of all time, especially when he teams up with the extraordinary David Lynch. The soundtrack of Twin Peaks is, at least for us, one of the best musical pieces in history, sometimes creepy, often jazzy and always very emotional.
We are writing about Angelo now because the Belgian magazine Knack has a special offer this week, you can buy a double cd with angelo’s work called “For The Record: Angelo Badalamenti” for only a few euro’s more together with their magazine. The songs are performed by the Brussels Philharmonic orchestra and conducted by the famous Dirk Brossé. This cd is certainly worth buying, as it is a compilation of a lot of different soundtracks by Badalamenti, although we prefer the original versions by the man himself.
If you don’t know Badalamenti or Twin Peaks you can view a sneak preview here; one of our favorite tv-moments (yes, again) of all time:
Wasn’t that great television? We’ve also uploaded two Badalamenti songs from the Twin Peaks OST from 1990.
1. DJ T. – Shine On (Motor City Drum Ensemble ‘Warehouse’ Dub)
2. The Popular’s People Front – Sample Pleasures Part 4
3. Nufrequency – Fallen Hero (Motor City Drum Ensemble Remix)
4. Lovelock – Maybe Tonight
5. Hot Toddy feat. Ron Basejam- I Need Love
6. LCD Soundsystem – 45:33 (Runaway remix)
7. Prosumer & Murat Tepeli – U & I
8. Crazy P. – Never Gonna Reach Me (Hot Toddy Remix)
9. Lovebirds – N2Deep
10. Motorcitysoul – Vivid
I’ve just found an article on Resident Advisor about warming-up dj’s and how important a good warm up set is for the development of a good clubnight. You can find it here. The article deals with the problem that many promoters don’t invest a lot of time and money in an opening act, while it is crucial to have a warming-up dj who is complementary with the headliner. Very interesting article, and one of the best we’ve read on RA so far!
To end this post we’ve got again 2 old school goodies for you who are both extremely actual. Especially the first one, Elias Rahbani’s Liza Liza, because it got edited recently by The Sexican on Golf Channel and by The Popular’s People Front on their last Edit EP: ‘Sample Pleasures Part 4.’ The Golf Channel edit already had a limited pressing of 120 pieces, but it will get a full release very soon! So don’t sleep on this (again!) The second track is the B-side on the original 12″ from 1978; From The Moon.
We’ll be warming-up the crowd ourselfs Saturday 10th of October at Spark (Café Capital) before Mugwump. We’ll be dj-ing from 11pm untill 2am! You can find the poster above.
An artist we really admire lately is Danilo Plessow, propably better know as: Motor City Drum Ensemble. He has caught a lot of attention last year due to his ‘Raw Cuts’ serie, at the moment he’s one of the hottest producers around as he’s getting a lot of remix requests. You can expect at least 5 or 6 remixes by him in the forthcoming months for artists like Jazzanova, Steve Bug, Art Of Tones & Toby Tobias, while 2 more MCDE remixes were just released this week, a beautiful midtempo remix of Nufrequency’s track ‘Fallen Hero’ on Rebirth with vocals by Ben Onono and a banging peaktime ‘Warehouse Dub’ remix on Get Physical of DJ T.’s new single ‘Shine On’.
We’ve got some great MCDE mixtapes selected for you:
For the Belgian clubbers: Don’t forget that Danilo will be dj-ing at Spark in Café Capital on Saturday the 24th of October. Something to look forward to!
On 10 october 2009 a new club will be born: Libertine Supersport. It is the new club by Renaud Deru & Lorenzo Serra, the guys behind Dirty Dancing. They’re leaving Mirano to start a fresh new concept at K-Nal (the venue where they already held their Summer Club parties).
The spirit of the new Brussels club is a liberal one, hence the name, anything is possible and everyone is welcome. But the most important aspect of a nightclub (for us) is ofcourse the music! The resident team is divided into 2 categories Libertine & Supersport, the first one is more disco-orientated, the latter is more mainroom house & electro-orientated. The Libertine dj’s maison are: Andy Faisca, Mustang, Dirk (Smile), Guy-Ohm, L-fêtes, Rick Shiver and Rob & Zoopsie, the Supersport resident dj’s are: Compuphonic, Jean Montevideo, Cosy Mozzy, Cook-E & Matik, Kid Strike, Mickey, So’Lex and Wirspielen.
On October the 24th the new club will welcome the Italians Do It Better family: Glass Candy, Desire and Mike Simonetti, so that will be certainly something to look out for! And the week after DFA’s Shit Robot will perform at Libertine. Other names yet confirmed are: Tensnake & Einmusik (14/11), Still Going & Jacques Renault (21/11), Vincenzo & Renaissance Man (28/11).
The first details about the new club look extremely interesting. A good resident team in combination with a bunch of quality international guests, that’s what we can expect from Libertine Supersport! But Libertine is not the only club in Belgium with an excellent taste of music, the calendar of Spark, the saturday nights at Antwerps finest: Café Capital look absolutely fabulous as well, and certainly for us because we will be playing there 2 times this autumn.
This Saturday, the 19th, Spark welcomes Âme, the week after Michael Reinboth from Compost Records will perform at Capital. And in October they’ll have following guests: Blackjoy on the 3th of October, Mugwump a week after, the 17th of October Boy 8 Bit and last but certainly not least Motor City Drum Ensemble on the 24th!
We (King & Cousin) will do the warming up for Mugwump on the 10th of october and also on the 14th of november for no one less than Dixon, labelhead of Innervisions!
