STREAM: Jabberjaw - The Connie Shake
We thought 2009 was the year of Audion for Matthew Dear, what with all those singles and the live A/V extravaganza that is currently blowing through the States. But here's this release as Jabberjaw, an alias he's only used once before, for a 2003 EP on German techno powerhouse Perlon. We'll give you that the resuscitation seems a little random, but who can be mad at more floor-focused Dear material? People we don't want to hang out with anyway? Stream "The Connie Shake" below and cop the record from our buds at Ghostly.
DOWNLOAD: Beni - Maximus (Harvard Bass Remix)
The first thing you're going to notice about this Harvard Bass remix of Beni from the Kitsune comp is the synth riff, which sounds like a rubber duck being used as a fire alarm. That's cool and all, but we're really gassed on the snare rolls that are peppered throughout, because as any Mannie Fresh fan knows, snare rolls are friggin' exhilarating. Buy the full comp right here.

Our partners at Institubes just put out a remix package for Das Glow's 2008 single "Lite Brite," with this bugged liquid-funk flip from Boys Noize pal Strip Steve being the essential get. The full release, with a version from Qebrus and a b-side called "A Lighter Shade Of Bright," is coppable over at Beatport. Also, Berliners: Das Glow and Strip Steve link up this weekend at Villa for the latter's new single release party; would be weird if this didn't get an airing or two.

It's been a long time coming, but Kid Sister finally released her debut LP, Ultraviolet, today–pick it up on iTunes, Amazon, the Music Tee, or whichever fine physical outlet you patronize. As a special bonus beat, we've got a super swishy unreleased mix of "Right Hand Hi" from Miami house producer SonicC. Download that below, and if you haven't yet watched the video for the original, you can do so here.

Of all the versions of "Black & Blue" we've got in our mountain of Miike Snow material, this one from Dubsided's Swedish house sentries Savage Skulls is the most concussive (har har). You have to give it a few minutes though–the real mental, entrails-lasering part starts around 2:30. And if you're still without Miike Snow (the album), iTunes has it for a reasonable eight bucks.
Sounds like: Crookers, Nadastrom, Harvard Bass

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Acid Washed - General Motors, Detroit, America (Black Strobe Remix)
Acid Washed play the anonymity card the right way, putting the names of their collaborators up front (Gavin Russom, Xaver Naudascher, Black Strobe, Turzi) and leaving out the whole "Ooooohhh, who could it be?" thing. So, we're left to assume it's just two random French dudes hanging out in the studio, drinking lots of wine and trying to find the fifth dimension inside an analog synth, and we like that. If you're not also somewhere between galaxies after Black Strobe's version of their first single "General Motors, Detroit, America" (out soon on Record Makers), then your ears are probably broken.

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Idiotproof - Gorilla (Zombie Disco Squad Re-Edit)

Though they did a single with our friends at dirtybird, London's Zombie Disco Squad primarily run with Jesse Rose's Made To Play crew, European harbingers of plump, fun-focused house (for a bit of a tasting plate, check the label's second Playing Around compilation). The dudes kindly gifted us with an edit of Idiotproof's recent single "Gorilla," available below in advance of an upcoming (and sure to be schweaty) North American jaunt with Riva Starr, Oliver $, Idiotproof, and Mr. Rose. All those dates and more can be found right here.

DOWNLOAD: Shazam - Hello Cat
Shazam usually has us envisioning inner tube floats with embarrassingly colorful drink choices, but for this, his contribution to a long-overdue Bang Gang 12-Inches compilation, the Perthian electro-disco producer is comfortably donning G-funk synths like they were terrycloth bath robes. The Bang Gang comp, with tracks from the boutique dance label's usual cronies (KIM, Gloves, Bag Raiders, Hey Today! et al), is out soon via Modular.

DOWNLOAD: Azari & III - Hungry For The Power (Matias Aguayo & Cosmo Vitelli Remix)
Azari & III's classic house tribute "Hungry For The Power" first appeared on the Moments Of A Crisis compilation I'm A Cliche put out earlier this year, but the Parisian label was so enthused by the song they decided to give it a proper release. So, a 12-inch boasting two additional songs, a remix from Runaway, and this version from first-time collaborators Matias Aguayo and Cosmo Vitelli is disseminating across the globe, presumably making lots of people do bad things in dark corners. Kind of like the semi-NSFW video they shot for it.

EXCLUSIVE NEW DOWNLOAD: Passion Pit - Little Secrets (Jaymo & Andy George Remix)
.jpg)
Enthusiasm, falsettos, child choirs and the-falling-in-love-every-five-minutes - there's something about Passion Pit that just screams youth, so it's no surprise to learn that the latest kids to remix them look about 12 and are the youngest DJs ever to record an Essential Mix for BBC Radio 1. Ain't nothing dance-geek about Jaymo & Andy George - there's a little Moroder in there at the start, sure, but on the whole they're faithful to "Little Secrets"' carefree buoyancy, working it up into unabashed chart-house for you to smile at and make up funny dance routines to.
