ALSO, I (RIGSY) AM STARTING A NEW WEEKLY CLUB NIGHT IN NEWRY CALLED 'SHIFT'.
YEO.
it starts this saturday and myself, the two pauls and johnny tiernan for AU will all be down to play. so if you're near there any weekend, call in. guestlist and stuff is HERE though i'm happy to take names via this blog....

that said - after our tribute blog to q-tip last week, thought it'd be a good idea to do something similar with another artiste who's responsible for a lot of stuff we play at the club - the legendary armand van helden.

PLEASE NOTE - NEITHER OF THESE MEN ARE DEAD.

top armand tunes then?

well, we've been hammering his remix of queen-melter uffie lately, which has the added treat of including a vocal from pharell williams, a man i'd quite possible go a bit gay for.

last year i was hammering his remix of ou est le swimming pool, the perfect example of how he can draw out something tiny from a track, give it a makeover and make it slap you in face.

then there's ducksauce, a craic-attack project he has with a-trak. barbara streisand's got a few goes at sketchy, but it's hard to beat aNyway. it's the tits.

and whether it's the doorly remix, the soulwax edit or the original, 'bonkers' still sounds fresh. thats him saying the buzzword n' all :-)

'my my my' and 'NYC beat' have been dropped a good bit, but they're just okay. 'you don't know me' is the titz. yes, with a Z this time.

'witch doktor' is kinda where it all started, and it sounds as good as the prodigy around that time. which is very good indeed.

having said that, my first AVH treat was the now legendary 'professional widow' remix. have you heard the original? it's rubbish. and about the last thing you'd expect. armand gave it a serious seeing to, then never called.

THATS QUITE A LOT OF GOOD TUNES, ISN'T IT?

he's also remixed daft punk, simian mobile disco and a loada others....with varying degrees of awesome-ness.

but for the above he deserves to be high-fived to death. even if he is a bit of a twat (supposedly).

bye then!
