BPT Featuring DM Binxter - Moody (Montreal Men Vocal Dub Remix)

As featured on John Digweed's Bedrock compilation from 1999:

Weezer - Paranoid Android (Radiohead Cover)

Both Radiohead and Weezer have lent ridiculous amounts of material to cover artists—sharing their tunes with an hilarious assortment of full-blown tribute bands, Sheezer (an all-female Weezer cover band), Our Name is Jonas and The Karma Police—just to name a few. But, up until recently, neither powerhouse has taken the time to cover the other.

And while it comes down to personal preference when deciding between the awesomeness of Rivers Cuomo’s geek-chic persona and Thom Yorke’s brooding detachment, when Weezer covers Radiohead’s “Paranoid Android,” we think everyone can agree that it’s the definition of awesome.

Check out the clip below.

Phuture - Acid Tracks (1987)

For the weekend:



Phuture only released a handful of tracks (plus an album a full decade after their debut), but have remained a legendary act in the development of Chicago house for their stomping 1987 single "Acid Trax", the track that began and defined the acid house sound. The group was formed by DJ Pierre, synthesizer fan Spanky and Herb J in 1985 as a recording entity to produce records for Pierre to mix into his sets at several crucial Chicago clubs. After being turned on to the high-pitched squelch of the Roland TB-303 synthesizer (marketed as a bassline machine for solo guitarists), the trio emerged from the studio with a track they called "In Your Mind". Ron Hardy previewed the track at his legendary club the Music Box - where it became known as "Ron Hardy's Acid Track" - and Phuture re-made the cut with production by Marshall Jefferson. Released on Trax Records in 1987, the single created a dividing point between the Chicago sound before and after it, with hundreds of "Acid Trax" imitations flooding the local market. After it caught on in Britain as well, the single soundtracked the wave of club madness which coalesced in the rave movement by the end of the decade. Despite recording one single with immense influence on dancefloors around the world, Phuture etched a rocky path during the rest of the 1980s. Herb J left after their follow-up single "We Are Phuture", and was replaced by an up-and-coming producer, Roy Davis, Jr. DJ Pierre left several singles later, and was himself replaced by Damon Neloms (aka Professor Trax). The lineup of Spanky, Davis, Jr. and Neloms recorded 1992's "Inside Out" but then the group lay dormant for several years. In 1996, Phuture returned as Phuture 303 (with the addition of L.A. Williams) and released the album Alpha & Omega one year later.

Lee Burridge - All Day I Dream Of Her

From Lee:

this is, by far, the best mix i've ever made. i made it for a girl i was in love with. i think it shows. i rarely listen to my own mixes but this one i've listened to a thousand times. sunrise or sunset or k hole. it works a treat.

after a while i started to give it away to a few people but decided i would only give it to girls. after a year or so it was featured on resident advisor as my podcast. it's full of beautiful, dreamy, melancholic house. music with emotion.

this was the beginning of a road i'm still on as i'm about to start (in june 2011) a party called 'all day i dream' (a record label too). each event will be outdoors on a sunday afternoon and music like this (and from another mix on here - live from Lightning in a bottle) will be the flavor. i want to create a party where the music makes you smile and melt a little (maybe the sun will help with that too).

i love you x

Aretha Franklin - Think

A great track to put on when you're on a mission from god:



Think (think) think (think) think (think)
think (think) think (think) think (think)

You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

Let's go back, let's go back, let's go way on back when
I didn't even know you, you came to me and too much you wouldn't take
I ain't no psychiatrist, I ain't no doctor with degree
It don't take too much high IQ's to see what you're doing to me

You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

Oh freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, yeah freedom
Freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, ooh freedom

There ain't nothing you could ask I could answer you but I won't (I won't)
I was gonna change, but I'm not, to keep doing things I don't

You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

People walking around everyday, playing games that they can score
And I ain't gonna be the loser my way, ah, be careful you don't lose yours

You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

You need me (need me) and I need you (don't you know)
Without eachother there ain't nothing people can do

Oh freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, yeah freedom
Freedom (freedom), freedom (freedom), freedom, ooh freedom

There ain't nothing you could ask I could answer you but I won't (I won't)
I was gonna change, but I'm not, if you're doing things I don't

You better think (think) think about what you're trying to do to me
Yeah, think (think, think), let your mind go, let yourself be free

You need me (need me) and I need you (don't you know)
Without eachother there ain't nothing people can do

(To the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, think about it)

(To the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, think about it)

(To the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, think about it)

(To the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, to the bone for deepness, think about it)

You had better stop and think before you think, think!!
