In their latest tribute, Vinyl Life remakes the Techno Classic “Energy Flash” by Brooklyn’s own Joey Beltram with new lyrics by Phaze Future. This was made from the ground-up with no samples. The band-made video, however, is all sampled clips that are jacked from YouTube. Take a trip back in time with us to the warehouse days. If you’d like to do the rave thing for real, check out PEX Heartburn IV on Feb. 13th in Philadelphia where VL will be doing a live set. Check out more live dates below.
Friday, Feb. 5th – NYC @ Quo NYC (DJ & live set w/ Harry “Choo Choo” Romero) Saturday, Feb 13 – Philadelphia, PA @ PEX Heartburn 4 (warehouse party) Thursday, Feb 18 – NYC @ Don Hill’s Saturday, Mar 6 – NYC @ Touch

There some hoes in this house, if you see ‘em point ‘em out!
Two things that are great: LuckyMe and Machinedrum.
Another thing that’s great: this mix. How great the nostalgic and trash-talking tracks on this mix are. Best listened to with scones and some tea.

Confusion in her eyes that says it all.
She’s lost control.
And she’s clinging to the nearest passer by,
She’s lost control.
D. Ramirez has really outdone himself with this dance-floor-designed bootleg version of one of his favorite classic tracks by British band Joy Division, “She’s Lost Control.” The song centers on Peter Hook’s cool, droning, minimalist bassline formed over a methodical and mechanistic drum beat courtesy of Stephen Morris. Bernard Sumner’s guitar work is sharp and clipped and Ian Curtis’ lyrics is about a girl having an epileptic seizure (i.e. “losing control”).
D. Ramirez’s sound combined with those of Joy Division and New Order is a divine combination that makes perfect sense. It’s always really fun to see classic tracks remixed/updated with a current style of music, because songs you love are given new energy and life.
The bootleg is definitely different, described as ‘Deep, Dark and a Rolling piece of Tech Noir,”
Here’s Deans new mix for August, including two versions of his new single “Satur8 (Slave),” Pete Tong’s ESSENTIAL NEW TUNE. D.Ramirez & Mark Knight vs. Underworld (Toolroom), a new D.Ramirez & Matt Tolfrey track (Phonica) , a remix of Max Linen (Phonetic) and a bootleg of Joy Division.
