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.

E.R.O.L.

Erol Alkan, who was recently named the UK's most popular DJ, has been turning on the hot-hot fire for a long time and shows no signs of slowing down. He's been producing for the Mystery Jets, remixng and re-working like he's Oakenfold or something, and producing under the side projects Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve and Mustapha 3000.

Anyway... Erol recently signed Dutch pop act Dance Area to his Phantasy Records label. The debut single AA/247 is an infections pop hit with vocals from Austen Boston who works as a bathroom attendant at The End night club in the UK. Look out for the Diplo remix (which is supposed to be nasty good) to drop later this month.


Here is a nice BTWS remix of Franz Ferdinand's Ulysses. I don't plan on listening to the original... on purpose
