New CouchFire Mixup



Some of you may know that I've been plugging my CouchFire Facebook Page pretty outrage over the past few weeks. The goal was so that I could reach the 100 fan minimum required to snag a com/CouchFire "vanity" url. The other band known as CouchFire has been well over the 100 fan minimum for many months as far as I know, which is why I was game-face about this situation. Luckily the other "CouchFire" was blissfully unaware of this whole CouchFire debacle.

I had promised that I'd hook everybody up with some free music if they joined my page so I'm here today to make good. So... for your listening pleasure, I've made a great mashup of two fairly mediocre songs, Boys Noize's 'Gezahlt' and Amanda Blank's 'Might Like You Better'. Neither track is great, but together they make each other far more interesting.

BN vs. AB - I Might Gezahlt Better (CouchFire Mixup) (zsh)

Once again, I'd like that thank my 100+ Facebook fans as well as the other "CouchFire" for not being on top of their social media game.

COPE With Adam Freeland At Webster Hall



Back when I was below the legal drinking age, I wandered into the Union Sq. Virgin Megashitstore because I hadn't discovered beer. It was auspiciously loud inside and my dainty little ears had no idea what was goin' on. I had to ask an overly pierced hipster girl for help....longstoryshort.... Adam Freeland's hair is the bee's fucking knees. His hair's GU: MIx was the very first time I had felt the electro whhhhiiirrpppshhh and just when thought I had fully-repressed that whole Virgin Shitstore memory, Freeland is back with a new kind of noise to make my medulla oblongata go all fuzzy. Personally, I like whiskey, but you should try this to COPE.

Freeland - Under Control

Adam Freeland - Silverlake Pills (Gui Boratto Remix)

Adam Freeland's hair is doing a DJ set at Webster Hall TONIGHT. There is some kind of $1 entry and $1 drink special HERE.

I'm going to be doing a more cohesive report on tonight's festivities as well as something more specific along the lines of an album review in the near future... Until then you all can COPE by following Adam Freeland on Twitter.

Bonus: Jape - Floating (Alex Metric Remix)

I'm now going to imbibe, be dangerously merry, and and bounce around like its 1994.

Blank Danger



In the interest of necessary blog brevity, I'm not going to get us all wrapped up the hairy details. Danger Mouse ran into some kind of beef with some music executive(s) and his new jazz will not be getting an official release... Instead Danger Mouse is going to sell blank CDRs. Read the longer version here.

The Dancin' Worm


I've been hammering this out for at least 3 months now. But on one magical Saturday night, which I will muse about at a later date, the stars aligned and some people finally took notice. Some kids recognized the vocals, some kids recognized "The Worm," others still just needed to know. So, after a dozen or so requests, and even more emails, I finally told em that I'd share my secret weapon....

Badd Larry!

Well well well. What have we hear? Alt electro bro Larry Tee is dropping a full length? Dropping it in the hands of CouchFire no less! Well this is great news.

What was that? Paris Hilton!? Oh Perez Hilton! What about his dick?


Unfortunately for us, Larry Tee's management forbids me from posting any of the albums original material, but that I'll do something just as nice.

Larry Tee feat. Princess Superstar - Licky (Product.01 Remix)

Larry Tee is going to be DJing along side of Warren Fischer (Fischerspooner) and DJ Falcon here at New Yorks craptastic Webster Hall! Also, there will be special guest appearances from Roxy Cottontail, Mel Merio, Kim and Tobell Von Cartier so its going to be an interesting night with all the club kids! Peep the flier here. Mark this one down friends, its going to be beyond legendary.

Fischerspooner - Danse En France (D.I.M. Remix)

Armand Van Helden feat. Roxy Cottontail - Playmate (Jesse Rose Remix)

Yes I'm Still Alive...


I noticed a few posts back, where I encouraged everyone to send Mr. Oizo a belated happy birthday on twitter, a KANYE WEST IMPERSONATOR!!!!1 wrote me off as dead. Many thanks to everybody whose been emailing me, no I did not contract the Swine Flu.

Anyway, I have some very exciting CouchNews in the coming days, including updates on a CouchGig, a brand new CouchMix, and a new CouchRemix! No fucking shit... Be on the look out from now on because I've received some very generous promotional material from a few very prominent record labels that I may need to share with all my loyal readers.

In the meantime here are some re-upload requests...

Etienne De Crecy - Fuck

Mr. Oizo - Nazis (Justice Remix)

and a classic (hint hint)

Sorry I haven't posted anything in a like a blog-year. I've been really dragging my feet these past few weeks. I've got some exciting CouchNews in the near-ish future to report. To tide you over until then we're going hook you up with a few tracks which you won't find on the hypem. We're taking you back to the basics of house with this one.

Minilogue - My Teenager Gang

Boris Rush - Miami Push (Ralvero Remix)

Vega 24/7


I motherfucking love Dance Area's AA24/7. The original and Diplo mixes are both major staples in all my DJ sets, I just can't resist playing 'em all the fucking time. Its sad but I really haven't heard it enough here in NYC, so its nice that Dance Area / Phantasy were kind enough to release the stems for this jazz. The remix competition over at Discobelle is sure to kick start Dance Area's exposure.

Its really no surprise that Mr. Vega put his super cool touch on AA24/7. You will hear a CouchEdit of this remix at every CouchFire DJ set for a long time, thats for damn sure.

Dance Area - AA24/7 (Mr. Vega Remix) (mediafire)

Show Mr. Vega some 24/7 love on Twitter!

The Ill Flood @ 205

I normally never use this blog to talk about myself and what I do. Well, thats not entirely true but whatever, just indulge me for now, I'm having a rough Sunday. I think I came down with the fabled pulled pork BBQ hangover.

I, CouchFire, did DJ set on Friday at East Village hotspot 205 Club. Well, 205's customer service / management was a disorganized mess that nearly rivaled the absolutely atrocious condition of the DJ booth. Mazes of wires, cobwebs on the CDJs (no joke), broken monitors, ground loop humming, and stripped wires made setting up a veritable nightmare. But beyond that I got free drinks, Anna snuck in "unnoticed", and even though I was DJing on top of a milk crate (also no joke), it was still cruisin, I was there with all of my people.

The Presets - My People (D.I.M. Remix)

At around 3 am a very nice young lady comes up to the "DJ booth" and says to me, verbatim-ish, "Hey! you're amazing, can you tell me what the name of this song is?" After a few moments of me shouting into her ear, I directed her eyes to my macbook and pointed to deck B that said:

Feist - My Moon My Man (Boys Noize Remix)

Just a few days prior, my boy Tyrones and I were rappin' about how much we love brunettes with bangs. Turns out this really inspired my DJ set at 205. I opened with The Bird and The Bee, crescendoed with Feist, and ended with La Roux. (Note: La Roux is totally a ginger sans bangs but here at CouchFire we award her honorary brunette bangs for awesomeness)

La Roux - In For The Kill (Skream's Lets Get Ravey Remix)

And to cap off the whole affair. After DJ M and I packed up our steez, (RIP headphone bag), I heard this water dripping from behind the "DJ booth area." I should also mention it wasn't raining out, and we were very much in the basement. I followed the drip noize, and did some drunken recon... The leak was fairly substantial, it was on the cusp of being a "low pressure showerhead" type situation. Luckily, DJ M reigned it in nicely, he notified the management of the quote-un-quote "Ill Flood". We left. I bet its ankle deep by now.



Sorry about the super shitty/short video, my camera ran out of space. I'll post a live Ill Flood (aka DJ M & CouchFire) mashup laters.

But for the 5% of you have been living under a rock for the last blog-mellenia I'll do my best to catch you up. The following is a setlist of the tracks I was able to recognize while shitfaced.

*Note, I scribbled track IDs during the show but the following day I couldn't make out half of them. Shame really...

1:47 - Justice - Phantom pt.1 (Faex Edit?)

Covers


I just thought I'd interrupt your regularly scheduled dancing, to post two amazing covers by two of my favorite artists at the moment. Royksopp & Little Boots.

Royksopp - Go With The Flow (Queens of the Stone Age Cover)

Little Boots - Day n' Night (Kid Cudi Cover)

NYC Noize


I think I've posted something or another related to Boys Noize every day of my blogging life. Of course this is not true, but that doesn't mean that it wouldn't still be totally rad in the best way if I had.

Boys Noize Records, which is like the 1995 Chicago Bulls of music labels, are going to be rocking tits at New York's underage friendly Webster Hall in just 3 days. Label mates Shadow Dancer and D.I.M. will be pwning faces as well.

I'm really fucking psyched like woah because I finally get to hear Das Glow's remix of Mirror Error really loud n all. If your reading this Alex, please please please release Mirror error, your crew have been pounding that shit out for a long time now. Stop teasing me.

Justice - Phantom Pt. II (Boys Noize Remix)

Boys Noize - Arcade Robot

D.I.M. - Airbus Baby (Original Mix)

Shadow Dancer - Poke (Original Mix)

Feb. CouchChart


I know its all like half way through March and all but I haven't put up a CouchFire top 10 since like... 2008. But who really cares about those kinda details? If I realllllly wanted to be sneaky about it I could back-date this fucker, but I'm not exactly sure how to do that...

I probably won't get around to posting a March CouchChart until July or something. So, 'my bad' in advance.

10. MMM - Touch & Go

9. La Roux - In For The Kill (Skream's Lets Get Ravey Remix)

8. Guns 'n' Bombs - Riddle Of Steel (Classixx Remix)

2. Curses! - The Deep End (Holy Ghost! Remix)

David Bowie - Magic Dance (12" Dub Mix) [215vbr vinyl rip]

InMetallika?


Why has nobody else talked about this?

Hardrock Striker - Metallika (In Flagranti Remix)

Maybe its because its not a banger?



...also...



and enjoy this decade old 2ManyDJs jazz...

New Turbo Jazz



Well Turbo Records really spruced up their internets recently... Just take a look at that new fancy-shamncy site with all that... content. Oh and the Mind Dimension video too. Don't over do it now boys. You want to save some that Turbo Gusto for the 2012 apocalypse...

My my my the boys have really been killing it lately. The Tracks I've heard from Tiga's forthcomming Ciao Tiga are annoyingly catchy, Chromeo's steez is(are?) way too cool for high-school, tbh The Proxy frightens me in my pants area, Kolombo's Sniff is about cocaine (which is like the new disco I think, no no its the old disco?), and that Van Party character did that remix for Moby Dick or something. At this point you may be wondering whats bigger and badder than Pangea? OMNIDANCE!!!!

What the effing H Turbo!? Why can't you be more like the DIM SUM or PBS or something? I'm still not sold on this whole we are going to put-out-the-music-that-we-think-is-cool strategy, it just makes too much sense...

Tiga & Zyntherius - Sunglasses At Night (Black Devil Dub)

CCC


Well its been a longtime since my love affair with Chewy Chocolate Cookies. We still talk n stuff, but I don't think we'll ever be hot n heavy again. Maybe if he sends me his Hey Boy, Hey Girl edit.

But it is nice to see that someone from the maximalist school of electro is still killin' it outrage. This here is the banginest 10 minute mix I've heard since the last one. Its chock-full of forthcoming CCC jazz. Get hyphy!

Autokratz - Always More (Shadow Dancer Remix)

Royksopp - Happy Up Here (Holy F**k Remix)

Big ups to BNR. I'll be seeing ya soon at Webster Hall.

Don does it again


Well the Dutch super-producer is up to his usual antics, unleashing killer dance music. I really dig the Plump DJs remix. If you ever get the rare opportunity to catch a CouchFire DJ set, you'll be sure to hear it. Its safe to say Don Diablo is blowing up outrage. His productions are getting serious play on BBC Radio One as well as CSNY.
Does Don Diablo even sleep?

Plump DJs - Beat myself up (Don Diablo ReRub) (ysi)

Overwrite


And just when I had thought we'd seen enough these Franz Ferdinand shenanigans, The Overwrite comes along to disco my bitter-party. What the H...

Franz Ferdinand - Ulysses (The Overwrite Remix)

Hey!!! My iTunes-magic-shuffle decided this would be a nice number to follow Ulysses. Why the fuck not...

Frank Sinatra - Come Fly With Me

And lastly... I've been drinking again so it amuses me greatly to inform you that the bird pictured above is called a blue tit.


BLUE TIT!
