I need to get me one of these shirts! Happy Monday GDD™ people! After one serious bender of a weekend, I am back to the grind and ready to give you all some great tunes to start the week off right. Check out this 5 pack of remixes from some of the top artists in the game right now.

Light Year – Marcellus (Malente Remix) √+
Our buddies from Oz are coming out with a HUGE remix release this Friday, July 15th on Bang Gang Records. The package features remixes from Harvard Bass, Strip Steve, Alex Gopher, The Finger Prince, and of course Malente. Give this groovin’ House track the volume it deserves and head over to the brand new Light Year website for more info.

Noah and the Whale – Life Is Life (Yuksek Remix) √+
So what it’s a Monday. Turn that frown upside-down after listening to this pick-me-up of a track. Smiles and sun all around.

Chromeo – When The Night Falls (Hercules And Love Affair Remix)
I posted the Breakbot remix of this track last week which had the standard Disco feel to it. This rendition from Hercules And Love Affair throws in a pretty catchy synth lead in the mix. Give it a go.

Little Dragon – Ritual Union (Tensnake Remix) [Beatport]
The Swedish band, Little Dragon, released the EP for ‘Ritual Union’ last week on Peacefrog Records, featuring touch-ups from Tensnake, Maya Jane Coles, and Unknown Mortal Orchestra. Tensnake turns the tempo down in this remix to create a really great track. Grab Little Dragon’s full length album on July 26th.

Azari & III – Manic [The Finger Prince 'Static Situation' remix] by PurplePR
Great new remix from Bang Gang rep, The Finger Prince. Can’t wait for this release.

Here are some tracks that I had been hoarding whilst I was waiting for GDD™ v3.0 to launch. Both Cut Copy and Chromeo will be playing at Coachella this year, which also makes it a perfect reason to post a remix of Death From Above 1979 (whose stealthy reunion is easily the most exciting news at Coachella this year).

Cut Copy – Take Me Over (Mylo Remix) by aRod@GottaDanceDirty™

Chromeo – Hot Mess (Djedjotronic Remix) by aRod@GottaDanceDirty™

Cut Copy – Take Me Over (Azari & III Remix) by aRod@GottaDanceDirty™
(This version of Azari & III’s remix is the proper one & not the whacked out, choppy one that was floating around the internets all week)

Chromeo – Hot Mess (Oliver Remix) by aRod@GottaDanceDirty™

And DFA 1979 for the big fat win:

Not much really needs to be said about a collaboration between Chromeo & Elly Jackson (La Roux) that gets remixed by Duck Sauce. It’s like being dealt Aces over Kings…the Full House pretty much speaks for itself.

Duck Sauce beef up the beat of the original and zone in on Jackson’s signature vocals to serve up the first monster jam of 2011.

Cheers to Green Label Sound for the free tunage!

Dirty Dancers, save this one for the after after party. After all the EDC madness, after throwin’ down @ afterhours @ Control, draw those shades back at the hotel room, throw on the new Chromeo and let the after party under the sheets begin.

“Don’t turn the lights on. Cuz tonight I wanna see you in the dark.”

Chromeo – Don’t Turn the Lights On

Over here at GDD, our gardens are very lush and flourish with only the dankest and freshest buds for our ears to savor. Today i have decided to take a walk in that garden and pick some eclectic jams to sweeten your day. I also decided to pick out some eye candy from our very own and extremely talented web designer Falco™. Some say he is 2nd coming of jesus christ, while others say they have seen lazers shoot out of his eyes. However, do not fear my children, for tonight i have prepared something berry berry especial for you all. Now lets get down to ze Nitty-Gritty.

First, we have some Funky-fresh from none other than Breakbot. This is the new hotness and is saturated with emotion and groovy synth.

He’s from Chile, his beats are spicy yet flowing, and just recently signed with tuff em up an Australian label. This is Barretso, and remember that name, good things are coming.
Millionyoung is awesome. Dreamy, synthy, beautiful. Special thanks over to our buddies over at Binary for these cheery chillwave™ teenage pregnancy jams.
Some sweet nectar to dapple in and always rely on Mika to touch so delicately on sexuality.
Grungy Grimey Grum yet very Groovy. Thought this would go well with tron.Jeremy’s ealier post here
Fyfe Dangerfield (awesome name by the way) and monarchy have managed to throw together an 8 minute gem full of feel-good vibes and so many layered moods, i wasn’t sure if i wanted to kiss the next person i saw or go for a cross country uni-cycle ride. Listen, make love, rinse and repeat.
Last and Certainly not least is a remix of a song I’m sure you’ve all heard several times. But what makes this remix special enough to post is the vibe Midnight Conspiracy creates. Imagine if Russ chimes and Danger got it on with a splash of the midnight juggernauts…Yeah its kinda like that. another DIMENSION another DIMENSION!
I hope you have all enjoyed the walk through our eclectic and electric gardens! If you like any of the artwork or photography you see contact FALCO™ and tell him we sent you!
Be sure to spread the Facebook love and follow us on Twitter as well.
Oh, and a little teaser of our upcoming clothing line…and if you HAVE to ask; Yes, it is Rave-Resistant.
Dr. Schlongo M.D.

Recently I’ve been listening to a lotta Grum, and in honor of Grum, i have been keeping it grimey. Its imperative that we all go showerless, wear the same briefs from the dirty dancing night before, and same funky socks to get the most out of this music. Dedication is key for anything worth while in life. Grum is from Leeds and therefore doesn’t make it over to north america much, but if you happen to be abroad and stumble upon a tour date, i highly suggest you take the time to check it out. Believe me, the tunes will take you where you want to go!
And here come the tunes…
• Grum – Heartbeats (Extended Mix) (link removed by request)
!BONUS STAGE!
I figured since we are on the verge of a new Chromeo album, and the first single is quite a goodie (bit darker than Fancy Footwork, but with all the groove), i’d throw it in for ya…lemme know what you think!
If you like what you hear be sure to support these artists at itunes™ and Beatport
Be sure to send some love on our Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace page as well

Be sure to get there early for JACK BEATS at 9:10!
