and for DARK PARTY it will be, expect more guests, DARK PARTY Radio, DARK PARTY TV, more give aways, etc
really looking forward to where this beast takes us

thanks again ever so for the support, and your time spent reading, come out, listening to all the stupid stuff we do

so heres my top 10 singles, and top 10 albums of 2009

Top 10 singles

Metric – gimme sympathy
This band never gets old, theres just something about her voice that carries it off

Major Lazer – Pon De Floor
Wasn’t really into this the first time I heard it, must say it’s a grower, and a MASSIVE tune, that’s pretty much changing music right now

MSTRKRFT – Heartbreaker
There was blog hype on this track about a million years ago, but it was officially released this year, and I love it, it’s a beaut

Local Natives – Camera Talk
Been on these for ages, see previous blog, the song just makes me wanna harmonies all the chorus bits

Two Door Cinema Club – Something Good Can Work
This years cheer up tune, you can’t help but smile and dance to this

Telekinesis – Coast of Carolina
First thing I ever heard of theirs, and I fell in love, don’t know why, just did. Nice american esk, real warm sound

A Place To Bury Strangers – in your heart
Liked the first album, nearly cried when I heard the second, talk about stamping and closing the genre shut tight, fuck the horrors this is the shit!

Man Like Me – London Town
All ways will be a fav band for me, just so much fun, and this song was what lead to them playing DARK PARTY

Crystal Fighters – Xtatic Truth
The most epic song of the year in my eyes and ears, such a builder, “learning how to stand alone”

Music Go Music – Just Me
Stupidly late entry but just got in, don’t know why I love this song, oh yer I do, its cos it’s like if abba and tilly and the wall had a love child! Imagine how happy the world would be….even though this song is about breaking up, at least they put a nice spin on it

Top 10 Albums

invisible - s/t
Obits - i blame you
Future of the Left Travels With Myself and Another
royal bangs - let it beep
local natives - gorilla manor
place to bury strangers - exploding head
British Sea Power - Man Of Aran

Health - Get Colour
fuck buttons - tarot sport

hope you like

BoaBoa's 2009

A good year, a weird year, whatever. Here are my favourite bits...

Favourite Tunes:
Crazy Cousinz - Inflation
Released late on in 2008 (great way to start the list, total rule breaker, but whatever) but was included in more or less every set i have played in 2009, its simply massive and really opened up my eyes to UK Funky as a serious genre.

Santiago & Bushido - Can't Be Wrong
The vocals on this tune are fantastic. It was a really nice, refreshing approach from S&B, who haven't jumped on the back of this new sounding house music like everyone else. It shows that just by stripping down your own sound, you can still create music that makes the crowd bust-it, without relying on a huge wobbly bassline.

The Juan MacLean - Happy House
12 minutes of quite possibly the most feel good music of the year. An absolutely huge piano drop, and chipper vocals that would bring a smile to even the most focused pill muncher in the club.

Renaissance Man - What Is Guru
In a year that house music went crazy over ethnic samples, Renaissance Man bent every other artist over, and smashed the shit out of them with this tune. Haaaaarrrrrreeeeeeee Krrrriiiiiisssssshhhhhiiiiiinnnnnaaaaaaaaa!

&ME - F.I.R
A tune that reminds me of playing 5 hour sets at On&On in Bournemouth with Crack Your Skull. A haunting, looping vocal over some bleepy goodness, and atmospheric sounding shit. A tune that stays in your head for a very long time, which isn't a bad thing.

Delphic - Counterpoint
Delphic are my second favourite new band of 2009. I think i've seen them three times, and in pretty crap circumstances (twice at festivals, once at a club night), but every time they got better and better. Its a sound that reminds me a bit of The Cooper Temple Clause, nice electronics and huge build-up's that make you feel like you're going to explode.

Florence & The Machine - You've Got The Love (XX Remix)
Remix of the year, EASILY. Surprisingly im quite a fan of the Flozzer version anyway, but this remix just smashes it. Pure UK garage feel that reminds me of underage club nights and EZ CDs. you know any dance tune that has a chopped up harp loop in it is going to be a winner. I genuinely shocked this hasn't wriggled its way out of the underground and all over daytime Radio 1.

Joy Orbison - Hyph Mngo
Reminds me of my mate Sully. So refreshing to hear Dubstep that doesn't sound like a chain-saw trying to cut through an angle grinder. Again, it has a big UK Garage, and even a Deep House feel. Nice two-stepper that still works at peak time.

Silvio Ecomo, Chuckie - Moombah (Afrojack Mix)
European Electro House is jokes, a proper Love/ Hate relationship, but this is plain and simple jump-up, squeaky, bassy nonsense that makes me want to punch the roof and grab the person next to me and shake them violently.

Justin Martin, Claude VonStroke - Beat That Bird
Massive jackin' number, with a rib-cage-rattling drop at the end, which more or less comes out of nowhere, like a happy slap. NERRRRRRRRRR-WHOOP WEEP WHOOP WEEP WHOP WEEP WHOOP WEEP, NEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRR etc.

Zombie Disco Squad - Eurovision
This tune has got "Set opener" written all over it. A baltimore-esq, horn blowing, organ pounding, carnival bonanza. Pure party music, which more or less kick started my obsession (along with the Crazy Cousinz track mentioned earlier) with african percussion. Such a big tune.

Oliver $ - Watcha gonna do
808 bomb. Totally massive. Huge build up, and a drop that I'm sure could make the right person combust. The whispered vocal and constant sub-bass make this make for a mysterious and subtle tune. A fresh new outlook for Oliver $, and nestling its way into becoming a Made To Play classic.

Favourite Albums:
Major Lazer - Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Do
Jack Penate - Everything Is New
Jesse Rose - What Do You Do If You Dont?
XX - XX
Anthony and the Johnsons - Crying Light
The Get Up Kids - Something To Write Home About (I'm allowed, it got re-released!)
Japandroids - Post nothing

2 Door Cinema Club

i was sent one of their singles a while back, and it was probably my song of the moment for ages, lets face it, it was, its great, " Something Good Can Work" is just a fun jumpy little thing that makes you wanna smile and dance, bringing warmth into your life as the weather gets colder

on the cusp of releasing the next single "I Can Talk" also on "Kitsuné" these guys need more hype and excitement around them. just a great fun time band

2 Door Cinema Club

Bang Bang Eche

this bunch of crazy nippers(not as young as they look, honest!) come from NZ, the place of well...not much but lovely lamb and lord of the rings...well they did inform me that the local beer/ale/cider scene is pretty big in christchurch

after hearing about these guys due to playing with the likes of enter shikari, i wasn't to sure on what their sound would be, but if I'm honest, i wasn't really expecting much. luckily my ignorance was proven wrong, these guys are great, playing to round 50 people and loving every second. its nice to see when bands vibe off crowds and these lot are mainly fueled by the crowd. while over in the US doing showcases they explained that its so hard to "perform" with a bunch of people with arms folded and only nodding their heads.

bringing a sound and energy thats been missing since test icicles, these guys are loud, fun, electronic, party and much more! i expect alot from these, and you'll defo hear more from them soon, check them out

gingerjohn

totally enormous extinct dinosaurs

so i wrote this lovely, amazing, and probably the greatest most link possible post, and then my browser dies (teaches me for using safari)

BACK TO THE POINT - Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, what can you say? other than TEED are awesome, they have this ability to make anyone want to dance. Bringing together the commercial and underground sounds of electronic/glitch genres at the moment.

Having recently played at We Are Your Friends Block Party Weekender, were a few of the other DARK PARTY djs were cutting their craft

Destroying stages all over Europe, we're also lucky to have TEED playing our very own CHRISTMAS DARK PARTY! everyone involved is stoked!

here's a sneak peak at the flyer from Smith Tropical

see ya there

gingerjohn

Oh Snap!!

You probably know about him already, but if you don't you need OH SNAP!! in your life. there's just something fun about him that others seem to be lacking. currently booking a european tour so if you get that chance you have to go see him

On repeat...

Amazing tune, it's all i've been listening to this week. Sorry i've been quiet, I'm thinking too much about my "best of 2009 list". Expect every blogger to post one next month, I'm pumped.

P.S. Bournemouth this weekend...



P.P.S. Norwich next weekend...

Royal Bangs Return

so you may or may not know these guys, i did a little thing on them a while ago. i still also feel i have some kind of finders rights to this band. they're amazing, there is no other word for them. from hearing the first song to hearing the last song of their new album i knew this was gonna be another love story of an album

Royal Bangs return, they come back with their second album "Let It Beep" on AUDIO EAGLE (US) / CITY SLANG (EU). theres just something about this band/record thats fun but incredibly haunting i cant put my finger on it, but the track that sums up the album for me is "My Car Is Haunted", it has the same ability to cripple me and make me wanna move like an idiot at the same time

this band is stupidly underrated only being able to play 1 UK date on this tour, i pray they dont take that the wrong way...

gingerjohn

HALLOWEEN DARK PARTY

Local Natives

a friend of mine told me about these guys nearly a year back after some time in America. They were good then, but now...they're great! they've got a great team behind them now, including management and Booker's, they'll be big i reckon whether you like it or not

This track, is a sneaky peak into Local Natives pop ability, its not up on their myspazz or nout, great little tune

Camera Talk

She Dont Wanna Man

so i'm not a fan of ASHER ROTH, but i've missed CHROMEO, and this Yes Giantess mix of this track stinks of them! Cheesy synth riffs that should of been left on Grand Theft Auto San Andreas, and one of the most epic 70s/80s electro funk outros

ASHER ROTH - She Don't Wanna Man(Yes Gaintess Remix)

Then, there is also the issue, of the other mix of this by Fenech - Soler , and it sounds so fucking french it hurts! great mix, great texture in sound, crossing minimal and that 70s/80s disco feel

ASHER ROTH - She Don't Wanna Man(Fenech - Soler Remix)

i'm in mix mag.

which is nuts. also it would of never happened with out the rest of the cartel. we will soon own you.

The obsession continues...

Casiotone For The Painfully Alone

i've been listening to the new CTFPA album, and its lo fi at its best, this album isn't the big cross over what everyone thought it'd be but its still got some lovely gems on it

its currently 1 of the only things i'm actually listening too

standout track for me is "Tom Justice, The Choir Boy Robber, Apprehended At Ace Hardware In Libertyville, IL"

Amazing

The most Terrifying Music Genre The World Has Ever Seen

Invented by Ryszard "Crunk King" Kuklinski (the grandson of an infamous Polish Cold War spy of the same name), Crunkczar, which sounds a bit like Polish donk, is a terrifying new genre that makes ravers lose control of their bodies. The drug of choice is a cocktail of carfentanyl, a downer that's approximately 10,000 times more potent than morphine, and Dexedrine, a powerful amphetamine. (Young fans opt for something slightly less harmful: a mixture of Red Bull and sherbert, referred to as "crunk gunk".)

Some people will break both their arms and continue dancing all night as if nothing has happened. Also, numerous cases have been reported of people dancing so fast that their heart gives in and they drop dead on the dancefloor.

Lil Wayne - "A Milli (Ryszard Kuklinski remix)

At one rave at the end of last year, when the above song was pitched up to +16, three people dropped dead before the track had finished.

Full story over on guardian.co.uk/music

Quack, Quack

The new project by A-Trak & Armand Van Helden "Duck Sauce" has just seen its first release. And well... It is AWESOME.
You would not expect anything less from these heavy weight, big inna di' game producers.

If this song does not make you get up and dance, bop your head or just even smile. Well then your dead inside.

Duck Sauce (A-Trak & Armand Van Helden) - Anyway

Slow Dancing

Essential listening. Nothing new, nothing ground breaking, just fantastic soulful music guaranteed to give you goose-bumps.

Anthony Hamilton - Do You Feel Me

Mayer Hawthorne and The County - When I Said Goodbye

You can hear the crackling of the needle on the record in this rip, I don't know if there is a better sound to be honest.

BoaBoa x

Pope Joan

so Pope Joan, maybe or may not be a new name to you, but they've been kicking about for a while. until now, they've never been able to get across their energy and great song writing ability, but with the new double aside they've just released "Centurions // Volumes" on OIB Records, they seem to of hit the nail on the head

Centurions is just such a little indie pop gem

MAN LIKE ME.

"Man Like Me, come to Dark Par-ty". It kinda rhymes.

The single "London Town" off the new self-titled album, is being played all over. So get on these remix's check out the original and buy the album. O' and get down to the next Dark Party.

Dark Party, With Man Like Me (facebook event)

Man Like Me - London Town (Doorly's Cockney Wideboy Remix)

Man Like Me – London Town (Dances With White Girls Remix)

Man Like Me - London Town (Foamo Remix)

You cannot argue...

that Michael Jackson wasn't a legend. Everything aside he made incredible music, and influenced more or less every artist that is even worth a look in these days. R.I.P.

BILL' IT UP SUMMAHTIME.

My obsession with the proximity to my favourite season continues. Close to completing the dissertation, I have just spent the early hours crusing my favourite music download website. Thus, I thought I'd share some releases that I'm extremely excited about. I reckon Summer will be pretty much here soon? Oui.

1. Crystal Fighters - Xtatic Truth (Renaissance Man Remix)

This is arguably the sound of my summer. By far. Helsinki never sounded so good.

2. House of House - Rushing To Paradise (Walkin' These Streets)

Fuck. A 13 minute epic that purely demonstrates everything a good house record should have. 

3. Knightlife - Discotirso

This track keeps my passion for the disco revivial burning. Alongside this little number...

4. Space System - Stupid Cupid

Guitar driven, minimal Sonic Youth-ish disco for astronauts. Christ.

5. DJ PP - I Like House Music

Because I do, and I like piano forte. Which is in this tune. Blah.

Jive to this - Crystal Fighters - Xtatic Truth (Renaissance Man Remix)

Much blessment to BoaBoa on his recent mix. My Ford Ka has been rinising it. TOO MUCH.

Speak well soon init.

Basti Grub.

It is well known that Basti’s mixture of groovy, minimal techno and deep, tribal sounds make his productions unmistakable and his attitude towards music unique. 

And none are more grateful for his further exploration and development of the sound than me, having picked up the debut album this week, out on his own record label 'Hohenregler'.

The ten track release sees the Frankfurt man craft music with a range of samples and noises from trumpets and big brass, to the echoes of the tropical rainforest. Recent jackmode favourite El Latino features, alongside some brand new creations. 

I fucking love Basti Grub. And you should too. Grab "Das Dschungel Orchester" here.

Happy House Pt. 2

Ok so it's not quite the Juan Maclean, but its certainly house that makes me happy. 

Perfect music to make you think... "shit, it IS almost the summer, you wanna get a cheap flight somewhere?"

Hats off to our gyal Jade Ewen for 5th place.



And rags to Norway.Alexander Rybak, your waste. i bet you weren't even playing that violin.

Show Me Love

No matter who you are or where you are when this gets played you look at you mate and utter the words 'tune'. Robin S's 1993 classic 'Show Me Love' was reworked to huge applaud last year by house dons Steve Angello and Laidback Luke. They mashed it together with their hit 'Be'. And destroyed every dance floor last summer. it is coming up for re release and a repeat performance this summer and is defiantly going to be a house anthem for a whole new generation.

Check out these little reworked diddys.

Steve Angello feat. Robin S - Show Me Love (Afro Jack Remix)

Steve Angello feat. Robin S - Show Me Love (Style Of Eye Remix)

Steve Angello feat. Robin S - Show Me Love (Something Wrong Mad Love Remix)

Lethal Bizzle

so you either love him or hate him.  think he's "real" or not?  but you can't argue that the single is catchy as, and is a pretty strong track

saw the video the other day, standard nothing special,

but you know what you're gonna get with this guy, hooks, maybe some bum lyrics in places but overal this is a fun track

U2 on MTV2?

i don't know who else reads this that remembers MTV2 as a good music channel?

when there were no adverts
no shit music
no repeating
come on really, how hard is it to programme 24 hours of music a day? i know people, including myself that would do it for fun

the other evening, i turned it on and who did i see, fucking bono, on MTV2 the music alternative. i can't believe how some people kicked up about "bonkers" being on there, but can stomach this? i know alot of people gave up on MTV2 when it got rid of 120minutes, but i thought i'd give it some more chances, but now, i'll just stick to youtube

MSTRKRFT - Heartbreaker (ft John Legend)

i dont know why i'm the first person to post this, and 2 posts in 1 day...scary

cant get this out of my head, everyone is tipping this as the big summer tune

so lets just jump on the bandwagon, get our funky house hats out, pray for sun and get on it!

Future Of The Left

this is my first post so be gentle...

one of my favourite bands died, and then 2 of my favourite bands decided to make this band Future Of The Left

having taking ages, and only palming us off with a live album, the new studio album has been longingly waited for, "Travels With Myself And Another" is said album

having been a massive fan boy of mclusky, i really do enjoy this band, for catchy music and witty lyrics, this album delivers. with probably stronger songs than from the first

songs such as "I Am Civil Service", "Throwing Bricks At Trains" and "Drink Nike" bring that horrible off key sing along quality that you expect and know from these guys, and the new single is already all over MTV2

the album is out on 22nd June

Fred Falke

This dude just keeps coming up with gold. The past two times i've been sent a remix package they've been the standout tracks. Checkout he's remixes of Whitest Boy Alive, Ladyhawke and most recently Little Boots.
