Poolside remixing a Laidback track from 30 years ago and making it sound totally current. Check out the original on Laid Back’s “Keep on Smiling”. I mentioned on the show that they are probably best known for Sunshine Reggae but in the US it was actually the B-side of that record “White Horse” that got them noticed. Also music from Kris Menance, Junki XL, Falty DL and more.
Chad Valley starting things off tonight as well as Underworld off their Barking release. New music from Phoenix with a brilliant remix of “Entertainment” by Blood Orange. More music from Polica, Beach House, Liftoff and tons more..
Music from Goldroom tonight as well as a Saint Etienne Remix of El Perro Del Mar. Another track off the Black Coffee compilation series by Shanti Roots. Coming up for Area54 recommended live shows we have Disclosure on the 18th at Branx!
Jamie Lidell was back in Portland last weekend for a sold-out show at Doug Fir. Great to see him wear his inspector gadget coat again and perform solo with all his musical tricks behind the boards, in front of the stage, with the crowd. It’s scary how much talent he has and it’s fun to see how much more comfortable he is in front of a crowd than years ago when he came to DF for the first time. This weekend we have Polica and OMD at the Wonder Ballroom. Two shows not to be missed.
Music from Bajofondo Tango Club, Mint Royale and Disclosure. New music off the latest Jamie Lidell release. His show later this month at Doug Fir is already sold out. We’re also pulling some older tracks from Morcheeba, Yonderboi and Royksopp.
So many remixes out there of Compuphonic’s “Sunset” and now it’s Aeroplane’s turn, giving it his standard trademark sound. Also The 2 Bears, Flume and an older track from Hooverphonic. Bat for Lashes is coming to town on April 17th at the Wonder Ballroom. We pulled a track off her latest release, The Haunted Man.
