To infinity, and beyond!


Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly. One of the most interesting, computer-game-influenced band names that I've ever heard for sure. Either way, these guys pull off a cover of Justice's 'D.A.N.C.E.' with amazing dexterity. I think this is about 2 years old but damn its so good!

Art vs Science vs DCUP


Art vs Science exploded onto the scene in 2009 by absolutely raping the festival circuit and doing a damn good job of it. Their latest track 'Magic Fountain' has been given a funky makeover by Sydney's own DCUP and I've been thrashing it to say the least. Art vs Science's unmistakable style of electro-rock lends itself perfectly to be remixed; this is definitely going to be big!

Double Trouble


So whilst I've sorta only being posting on here once a week lately, it turns out that I've come across some REALLY good tunes today.. and here we are. These tracks should make the upcoming weekend just that little bit sweeter!

Feel Good (Original Mix) by aniki
Kicking off in style. This 'disco banger' is a massive floor-filler.. and presents a really raw brand of disco-house that is quite refreshingly different. Its pretty rare to find a song that stays true to vintage 70s disco vocals and sounds but still manages to have an element of wobbly filth. Keep your ears on Aniki.. this Norwegian hombre is set to blow up!

FOALS - MIAMI (TiM FUCHS Remix feat. Flight Facilities) by TiM∆FUCHS
Surely you don't need to me to talk you into listening to a song with names like Foals and Flight Facilities on the bill. Speaking of names, Tim Fuchs is an interesting one (I really hope its pronounced the dirty way :P).. a lad fresh off the Sunshine Coast who is starting to make a name for himself in the Australian electro scene. This song is pure bliss in every sense of the word. Crank this in the dark and you'll feel like you're halfway to heaven.

Congorock - Babylon (Fare Soldi - Babbylorso rmx) by FARE SOLDI
Congorock is one of the favourites here on IISTD however you wouldn't think to associate his brand of raw jungle electro with disco now would you? Fare Soldi has given his epic tune 'Babylon' a right working over and at times it sounds like its gonna break into 'Long Train Running' by The Doobie Brothers! Never fear, this is well and truly a H-U-G-E tune that will have you salivating.

More Than You Can Handle..


I know that they say too much of good thing is bad for you.. but 'they' obviously haven't listened to any of these glorious tunes yet. Bit of a mixed bag really... starting with some dreamy instrumental disco, then moving onto some more sun-soaked synthy disco sounds (hurry up hot weather!!!) and finishing with an absolute bomb remix from filthmaster Hostage. The bonus round this week is definitely something different, with one of the most unique 'artists' going around at the moment, Beardyman. If you're heading to Falls Festival this year be sure to see this guy.. all signs point to his performance being mindblowing.

Sun Splash - Instrumental by lukemillion

Monaco by Cadillac™

Michael Jackson - Rock With You (Potions Edit) by DGrandino

PNAU - With You Forever [PAT LOK '1 Night on Granville' Remix] by patlok

Figure - Torture (Hostage Remix) by HOSTAGE

Bonus Round:

Jan Driver - Tellyfoam (Original Mix)

I seriously can't stop listening to this track. It's a pretty simple tune and there's no lyrics but fuck sake its funky as hell, in a real 80s-sitcom-intro-music type of way. You MUST listen!

Grand finale... Beardyman!

Another Chance


Roger Sanchez wanted another chance.. so I guess that's why disco king Leonardus decided to remix arguably his most famous track 'Another Chance'. Terrible joke I know.. but seriously when one of my favourite dance songs of all time gets a facelift I tend to get a bit carried away. The original was dreamy and soothing, this remix is a little more up-tempo and has a bit more of a dancefloor vibe. Here it is in all its glory:

Roger Sanchez - Another Chance (Leonardus Remix) by LeonardusMusic

Bonus Round:


Some other tracks that I've been digging lately...
Cerrone - Give Me Love (Mix Chopin Re-imagination) by MixChopin Super filtered summer disco... yum

Aniki - Lesbian Bondage Fiasco (Nightriders Remix) by Nightriders With a name like 'Lesbian Bondage Fiasco'.. I don't think a description is really necessary

The House Inspectors


Adelaide is home to the Frog Cake, the Pie Floater and the Sturt Desert Pea.. but more importantly, it is home to Dan and Luke.. aka The House Inspectors. I first heard these locals on Fresh FM and immediately fell in love with their catchy jazz-infused funky house sound. I challenge you to listen to one of their original tunes and not crack a smile (or boner) and start bopping your head. This is music lover's music. Enough chatter.. here are two of my favourite tracks from their Soundcloud page.. be sure to scope out their other tracks on there too!

The House Inspectors ft Adaja Black - Music n Soul by The House Inspectors
