Madonna and Michael Jackson

So I'll admit, I hate Madonna. She honestly just gets on my nerves. I understand that she is a pivotal character in 80s feminism and that she used controversy to attack the shortfalls of our culture. I just don't enjoy her music. Upon hearing Sidechains' remix of "Into the Groove" I realized the oversights of my opinion, and that every blanket statement must have an exception. This has become my secret weapon as a DJ since it is about impossible not to dance to it.

While I'm at it, no one can complain about a MJ remix, and this one's pretty great. "Off the Wall" Has always been my favorite album by him. All the songs represent the lovable prodigy's start to a brilliant career. Morsy's a pretty new guy to the game. He gave this a pretty subtle take off of the original, but perfectly dance-floor ready. If Morsy can keep churning out songs of this stature, he has quite a future ahead of him.

If you're in Miami you can see Morsy either at Money Shot on Thursday (08/21), or Poplife on Saturday (08/30)!

Jupiter

So, I have a strange, natural attraction to disco that you could close your eyes and imagine you are in a lounge from a sci-fi cartoon. Jupiter does exactly this with "Starlighter." Listening to it makes me want to dance on my ceiling, playing air key-tar. I'll admit I was quite lukewarm to the song at first, but it's hard to not heed to the siren's call who makes me fall in love and smooths out some of the best retro-futuristic music I've heard since Laserdance. You can stop by Boule a Facettes to pic up two other songs of theirs.

While I'm at it, I love posting classic music that continues to influence me. Laserdance made some of the most imaginative disco in Europe during the eighties, yet is so rarely mentioned. "Digital Dream" is a work of gold that throws you in a joyride through outer space.

Captain Crunk

I've been so lazy lately and there are absolutely no excuses because I haven't even been too busy lately. Well anyways, obviously due to my negligence there is a surplus of amazing music that I have the opportunity to write about.

I'll start with something by a guy I've already written about. A while ago I posted Captain Crunk's wonderful remix of "Veni Vidi Vici." Again, he doesn't disappoint, this time remixing Treasure Finger's hit which is becoming a classic "Cross The Dancefloor." I love the song's spacey disco sound and Capt. Crunk takes the funk even farther. Not a huge departure from the original, but the subtleties provide quite a pleasant improvement. Redthreat just posted a few other remixes too.
