Database presents Ugly Edits Vol. 2 (2009)

November is my B-day`s month and it`s coming to the end. So here comes something to make your party up before the time is over!!

DATABASE is a brazilian duo that comprises childhood friends, Lucio Morais and Yuri Chix. While students in film school, the two became famous for gathering the entire student body together—from freshman geek to senior stud—to the dance floor of São Paulo’s legendary, now-extinct club, “AmpGalaxy".

The two released their first compilation, “Ugly edits Vol.1” in early 2008. Around this time, they were invited to remix Fatboy Slim, and got together with his label (Southern Fried Records) to release their Miami EP, collaborating with Bonde do Role. From these two releases, their notoriety grew rapidly in Brazil, playing in some of the country’s biggest festivals.

In 2009 they released their second compilation, “Ugly edits Vol.2”. This is not a physical compilation album but a digital release and you can get it for free at their myspace in good quality (320 kbps).

Just to make things easy you can CLICK HERE, instead. You can check also check it at last.fm and get the tracks there, but it`s poor quality and only contain Database`s edits which is less than half of the pack that includes 13 DB`s edits plus 23 edits from their friends.

Some tracks are lil too electro/noisy but it`s a nice pack if you like Nu Disco & edits..

Fdel - Audiofdelity

Another cut & paste from mvremix:

"Perth based producer Fdel has been working with the lads from Downsyde and HydroFunk records for quite some time... His debut solo release "Audiofdelity" has actually been released in Australia for a while, but it's definitely an album in need of more international exposure.

Fdel is obviously a very talented producer, the smoothness and clarity on this album is undeniable, there's nothing on there that really doesn't work, and work well. The change ups, bridges, and breakdowns have all been executed way too nicely. It's a pleasure to listen to from start to finish. This album covers all bases, it could really be played anywhere... But the real strength of the album is in the party tracks, the funk, the undeniable phatness. This album really parties hard, dudes.

...reminiscent of Katalyst's 2002 masterpiece "Manipulating Agent", "Audiofdelity" has some very similar elements. The classic drums, the funky ass basslines, the crazily chopped keys, the huge horns, the well chosen and well placed vocal samples; they're all there, the same as they were on Katalyst's release. This could be (and most likely is) why "Audiofdelity" was released through Katalyst's own Invada records."

This guy is great! knows what to do when mixing old and new across and between styles! Lots of samples, some extracted from music you can find around here..

Nufunk doping stuff!! highly recommended whether you like funk, breaks, hip hop, and mash ups!

Tracklist:

01. That's His Name (intro)
02. Rocksteady
03. Dusty Fingers (featuring Downsyde)
04. Instrumental Proficiency
05. A Fuller Culture
06. Get Up On Ya Feet
07. Shake Ya Pants
08. Ladies & Gentlemen
09. The Crew
10. Bring It On
11. Let The Beat Kick

David Mancuso presents The Loft - Volume Two (2000)

Fast post, so words here aren`t mine:

"Unmixed compilation from David Mancuso, reflecting the eclectic music he played to friends during the mid to late seventies in his New York loft, helping to create the modern nightclub in the process. The CD's show why Mancuso enjoys legendary status within the dance community. The selection is superb, each track helps the next breathe, themes emerge. After hearing The Orb's Little Fluffy Clouds following the closing rain effects from the final sixteen minutes of the Steve Miller band, other mixes and comps look like train wrecks."
