Martin Eyerer


Last night i went to see Martin Eyerer in the most intimate show i have ever attended. It was at 'elsewhere' on the coast and i think at the most, on the dance floor, there would have been 15 people. It was such a great way to wrap up a big weekend, with some solid minimal/techno. He played a well rounded set and managed to mix in a few of his big tracks such as Babylon and The Island. 



Here is one of his tracks Chorizo (the paul nazca remix). ENJOY!

like we always do it this time



Kanye West blew onto the scene years ago now, but his music has always amazed me. His ability to take any beat, any phrase and turn it into a chart topper is incredible. Along with all his original tracks has come a whole load of remixes, nothing like this one though! Orgasmic is a French producer/dj and his crafty cut and paste/glitch up of Kanye's "The good Life" in "Feels like Saint Tropez" is off the chain, a must have....Also, for proper gear heads, check the video i posted of Rosco P. Coldchain a few weeks ago and check Kanye's section, SO GOOD, these guys are so tight with their words.


Feels like Saint Tropez - Orgasmic



bonus Orgasmic track (oldie but a goodie)

 







Kanye west - Good Life 

The video was made by So Me, the artistic director of the record label Ed Banger.

cop 'em then rock 'em



I have been a fan of charlie fanclub since I got my hands on a tight remix of surkin's radiofireworks by him. Here is another fresh remix by him. 






On a lighter note, "it ain't where you put your words, it's where you don't". I first stumbled across Dilated Peoples as a beady-eyed 13 yr old. Dj babu's out of this world production, beats and scratching was the beginning of the end. They stole my hip-hop heart and have never ceased to impress since. 


The Platform - Dilated Peoples

100th post





It has been one year and nine months since concretefish begun. It has been one year and nine months of fun. The musical taste of the fish has changed and matured. The blog itself has evolved and morphed into an expression of the now, well at least in my life; think of this as a thought process, think of concretefish as an electronic extension of my head and where its at! 
With that said, my head is loving prog/techno/minimal and of course always rap - hip hop. 
Here is a downloadable smorgasbord of what i listen to, have listened to and will listen to at a lengthy extent nearly everyday of my life.


Mornings:
Cowboys - Dusty Kid
Omega man - Fred Falke and Savage


Lunchtime:
The light - Common
IsbjÅrn - Akzidenz Grotesk


Evening:
Paris - Oliver Huntemann
Genesis - Pryda


Midnight:
Take your pills - Sebastian Leger
Roadkill - Dubfire
Kickschool 79' - Thomas Schumacher
BONUS!!!
Sucka Nigga - A Tribe Called Quest
Gimmie A D - Parkway Drive
