Daniel Vangarde 1971 -1987
I think everyone is a bit Daft Punked out, but not Dazed & Confused it would seem, as they've commissioned super excellent dj overlord CK303 to produce this retrospective mix of Daniel Vangardes works. Daniel Vangarde if you don't know goes by the real name of Daniel Bangalter and is dad to Thomas Bangalter from Daft [...]
Project Tempo – Project Tempo Vol3
The first post I ever made on Interesting Blends was a re-edit by the Project Tempo collective. It was what went on to be their hugely successful "Why Not?" a re-edit of the Carly Simon classic "Why". that was three years ago i think, and since then they've released two EP's and today have released [...]
The Creators Project – Daft Punk The Collaborators
It's been quite hard to miss the Daft Punk hype over the last month or so, and love them or hate them you've got to admire the sheer scale of the promotional process their have followed. The track "Get Lucky" is obviously going to be a huge summer hit, as is the album "Random Access Memories" [...]
Interesting Blends presents: Project Tempo vs The Balkan All Stars
People who followed the blog previously will know we've long had a tradition of procuring irregular mixtapes and palming them them off as Podcasts. Well not quite, but we're pretty proud that we've hosted some particularly good ones in the past. A big contributor to this has been the Parisian based edit project, erm… Project Tempo, of whom i’m an irregular [...]
The Psychonauts – Time Machine
Sometimes Youtube just throws up some insanely good finds that you’d completely forgotten about, or like me lost their copy. The Psychonauts – Time Machine (Full Mo’Wax Mix)”>The Psychonauts – Time Machine is one of them. It's essentially a multitrack/studio DJ mix by Pablo Clements and Paul Mogg, under their Pyschonauts monikers, working their way through [...]
Instruments Of Rapture : The Final Party
I've long been a fan of the Instruments of Rapture record label. Run by Ali Ooft! the label has released some truly brilliant 80's soaked re-edits, and is probably one of the labels most responsible for kick starting the whole re-edit scene that has dominated the more relaxed house sounds over the last 4-5 years. Instruments Of Rapture isn't only a re-edits label [...]
Wambonix – Thank You
I've been cataloging my record collection on discogs and as a result have been delving through my crates, and listening to some great old tracks that have for too long been gathering dust on my shelves. One of the tracks I recently dug out is Wambonix – Thank You. A lovely track, from a time [...]
The Walk to Work – March 2013 Podcast
I also contribute to The Walk To Work blog and occasionally we get off our backsides and do a podcast. Which is what this is, Fourbearsjr one of TWTW team has delivered a cheeky little mix of Disco, house and electro pop that i’ve bene bumping for a few days now. The tracklist is: 01: Glass Candy [...]
Dicky Trisco & Pete Herbert – Disco Deviants Pulse Radio mix
I'm a big fan of the two DJ's in this mix, and of their respective record labels, but more than that Dicky has been a long time friend and I've known Pete by proxy from back when he ran Atlas records in Londons Soho (in fact it was he who sold me Dee Patterns – Who's [...]
Henry Pope – Root Society 2012
A litle while ago a mix landed in my inbox from Henry Pope, that despite really liking i could never quite find the appropriate moment to blog it. Thankfully today a new mix by Henry arrived, which is his set from Burning Man. In all seriousness, i'm blogging this because it's a cracking energetic listen [...]
