We Get Lucky On The Dance Floor

MSTRKRFT's first album was recorded with lots of analog gear on a Neve mixing board (one of the best ever). That's why it sounds so good and nasty. Fast forward to one of there latest remix efforts and not much has changed in terms of production quality. Nonetheless, MSTRKRFT, like other high profile producers who tour (basically) nonstop, probably have a quick and streamlined production method. This would be important for example, if you tour four days out of the week and have the remaining three days to work on an ever expanding list of remix work. You need to quickly expedite your project before you go back on tour... And still make it catchy and danceable. Here is a good example of that:

New Young Pony Club- Get Lucky (MSTRKRFT Remix)

It always amazes me that many of the most die-hard fans of the Rapture that I have talk to have little insight into the the bands historical influence. One of those bands that most certainly influenced The Rapture's sound is A Certain Ratio. They started out as a post punk band in Manchester, England in 1977 and evolved toward a more funk and soul oriented sound. After listening to this classic you can be sure of their influence on The Rapture!!

A Certain Ratio- Do The Du

Welcome to Dirty Bangers. This blog will keep you updated on the latest and greatest gay porn. JK. This is a music blog for people who like dance jams from the past and present. Roughly every post will feature the same format, A NEW ONE AND A CLASSIC. The new one will be a track either made yesterday or very recently and captures the contemporary sound that I love to hear on a dance floor. The classic will be a song that might be forgotten or buried under a heap of new material. This song might be a song that we all know or it might be something that was ripped from an old record and previously unavailable as an mp3.
A little bit about myself:
My name is Lee, I DJ and produce by the name of Groundfloor. I live in Southern California. I've been djing for almost 10 years. I started out mixing French House and Progressive I later moved on to Hip Hop, Indie , and Electro. I've got somewhere around 1000 pieces of vinyl. Most of it is late 90s French house, which in many cases, bears a striking resemblance to what is currently fashionable and French. I hope to share this music with you, and additionally some other tracks that are exclusive or at least not over-blogged. Of course, if you have some material that you think should be posted, please email it to me by all means:

Lastly, if artist or label would like a track removed, notify me and I will remove it promptly.

NOW FOR THE FIRST POSTS:


New One: Moving Units- The Kids From Orange County


Loved this band since there first EP and it was great seeing some of their early shows at The Smell a few years back. Their new album just came out and the whole thing is really amazing so BUY IT HERE!!!!



Classic: Roy Davis, Jr.- The Rock Shock (Thomas Bangalter Remix)

This track used to damage the 'House Music Room' at raves way before Daft Punk was a Hipster phenomenon. Its been about 10 years and those Frenchmen still know how to work it...
