Chrystal City. i've been in love with alan braxe for some time now. it's no secret. if it weren't for him i'd probably be one of those kids bragging about how they cried at the joanna newsom show. no offense to that, but i'd much rather brag about how i danced for 5 hours at a justice show and don't remember it. braxe set me on a path paved in the golden glory of french house. sure daft punk were my first french love, but it was braxe who really pushed the shit-hot disco to its limits and that's where i wanted to be. cracked out on saw waves and filter sweeps in the streets of paris.
so i've compiled a pretty decent collection of braxe and his cohorts. yet one track always eluded me. a b-side from the rubicon single. today, however, in my boredom and perusing of oink, i found that b-side. and it did not let me down one bit.classic alan braxe/fred falke all the way. i'm going to have this on repeat for weeks.
Alan Braxe and Fred Falke - Chrystal City

i don't know how to segue from that heavenly synthdisco into these next tracks. just eat them up.

you may have heard the ocelot mthrfckrs remix of young love that made him sound like he wasn't some pussy with jams on dancelife. they did a hot job with this as well.
Matt and Kim - Yeah Yeah (Ocelot Remix)

metric should never release tracks without having them remixed first. they'd be way better.
Metric - Glass Ceiling (John Hyde)

i'm always biting at yuksek's shit. as should you be.
Shitdisco - OK (Yuksek Remix)

oh, and in case you haven't heard, YACHT is now opening for LCD Soundsystem. i posted a track of his before, but here's another, so you can be fully convinced of how rad this news is.
