I found this remix of Desmond & The Tutus by accident on the web and immediatly fell in love with it thinking it was a classic. An anthem for the bealeric crowds. King Of Town who lives in South Africa knows the band personally, friendly guys from Pretoria making African tinged post punk, like the Rapture in Tanzania. You’ve probably heard this too many times already, but ‘Kiss You On The Cheek‘ SHOULD be the tune of the summer, also including a remix by King of Town. These guys are amazing, definitely check out their myspace for more hits.
“Try the steak, it’s superb here,” says Nic Fanciulli, whilst puffing on a cigarette.
They’re sitting outside at a restaurant in Ibiza where you can see a harbor full of millionaire’s yachts, and despite the fact that in a couple of hours Nic will be spinning before the Chemical Brothers at the world famous Space nightclub, he seems surprisingly calm. “The Chems are my heroes, so it’s a bit strange to be warming up for them. “I am feeling pretty nervous but probably not half as nervous as the Chems, as they were booted off the decks 14 years ago at Space and they haven’t been back since,” he says with a grin.
There’s always a grin with Nic Fanciulli and he has a remarkable habit of making anybody he is with feel comfortable. That’s probably why Pete Tong took such a liking to a young Nic, when he was resident DJ at British club night Club Class in the town of Maidstone.
His recent partnership with Brit DJ James Zabiela under their One+One banner was a huge success thanks to a North American tour and Fanciulli’s label Saved Records has carved itself a sizable niche in the murky waters between house and techno.
“I’m feeling confident because my set last week at Space was one of my best sets of the year,” says Nic.
“When you play week in, week out, sometimes you get a bit down on the road, but every once in a while you get an amazing night that fills you with inspiration.
“Last week’s gig will keep me going for at least a month.” Read the rest of this entry »
After being somewhat disappointed with the ‘Move For Me‘ remixes, I was bracing for a repeat of the same for this song. Fortunately, I was relieved to find that not only had EDX remixed this song, but it was a great remix as well, so was Funkermans. Other mixes.. I’m not so sure about, but the EDX mixes take this already great song to another level. Now I’m looking forward to more great remixes from Kaskades album ‘Strobelight Seduction‘.
