Hardrive - Deep Inside

djshirkhan — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 15:15:00 +0000

"Hardrive - Deep Inside" sounds like early soulfull UK-Garage. STRICTLY RHYTHM is the keyword. STRICTLY RHYTHM - the New York-Cult-House-Label of the 90ies - home of Masters at Work, Todd Terry, Dj Pierre, Josh Wink and early Armand van Helden.
I have been checking out a bit of their backcatalogue and what can I say: timeless classics. One of my favourite tracks (DEEP INSIDE) is from Louie Vega who also released under the name of HARDRIVE. Printed on Vinyl in 1993 on STRICTLY RHYTHM.

Ok.....many people have been asking already for guestlist...so I guess the flyer is worth a post (btw....if you want free entry....you can win free tickets in my radioshow at Fritz this Tuesday evening). Actually, Mr.Oizo is not in Berlin for the Levis-Tour...but hey....he already was on Saturday at Maria. So therefore, I am gonna post my favourite track from the new Mr.Oizo-Album which is really great. Seriously. Check out "Cut Dick". Have been playing this for quite some time now as well as his crazy coverversion of "It takes 2" from Rob Base & EZ Rock". Nuff chat for now...wednesday its Whitey in town - so we gonna check that out...Also Steve Aoki, D.I.M, me doing stupid warm-up+closing...ect. all@Lido.Thursday is a party@Roter Salon for english fashion mag "Wound Magazine".

In the kitchen with Shir Khan

djshirkhan — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 17:32:00 +0000

Here is a collection of Dj-sets I did in the last weeks for several radioshows.
One is a 15minute-mini-mix I did for Swedish National Radio P3 Dans for the "Housewifes".
The other one is a live-recording I did for Radio Nova in Paris (+ Interview).
And there's also another one I did for FM4 for "La Boom Deluxe" in Vienna.
All sets are very different from each other. The "Radio Nova"-mix is probably the most funky and electic.
Get all of that stuff here:

Act Yo Age - The Flash (Shir Khan Powerhouse Dub)

djshirkhan — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 22:12:00 +0000

Berlin Battery Exclusive! Here is my remix for Sidney duo "Act yo Age". They also remixed "RQM - Miss Pacman" for "Exploited" and now I remixed them. I call the style of my remix Tropical-Jackin-Gospel-Powerhouse.
Check it out. Will be released on October 18th alongside a remix from Inflagranti, Rico Tubbs, Edu K on "Sweat it out!"
This here is the Dub-version, but there will be also a vocal-version.
Btw - I am playing Australia again in December. Will also play "Empire" in Brisbane at the Sweatitout!-Party (12.12.) and some more gigs in Sidney, Melbourne, Adelaide.
Ohhh....and can somebody upload this file to Zshare for me please? Dont know why but whenever I upload on Zshare it fails....So this here is only a Yousendit-link and I guess that expires soon.

Late of the pier - Bathroom Gurgle (Tomski&Fredboy Rmx)

djshirkhan — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 14:01:00 +0000

I am glad this remix from Tomboy and Fredski finally made its cut on the Vinyl. This remix has been around long time ago and nobody really knew what was happening with it. The Single "Bathroom Gurgle" from "Late of the Pier" (produced by Erol Alkan) came out last year in October 2007. All 500 limited edition copies flew off the shelves in a matter of days.
Now, there is new remixes: from Breakbot (...the one we had on our party at Cookies), Duke Dumont, Tronik Youth and a special remix from Boys Noize for the track "Focker". And last but not least, Tomski and Fredboy did the most stunning rework.
The Release will be on October 27th.
BTW - Tomboy is also playing this Saturday at the Lodown Party at Crush. Did I tell you that the new Whomadewho-single is so weird? But I love it - comes with a Hot Chip and a Tomski&Fredboy Rmx.

Housemeister - What you want (Siriusmo Rmx)

djshirkhan — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 19:34:00 +0000

I already wanted to upload this a long time ago. Sorry for being so lazy. Sometimes I feel like I even dont have the time to download all the tunes I get - so I dont even know when to upload a track. So at the end of the day I dont post much - its just too much out there to blog about and others are probably much quicker and better in this. But - hey - this track here is essential.
Its from one of berlins oldest oldschool techno-djs "housi" aka "housemeister". I think since 10 years or probably even more he always looked the same: basecap, sunglasses, jointsmoking, trainers, big necklace. "Housi" talks the Berlin Slang and he has one of Berlins biggest images I would say. On his latest installment WHO IS THAT NOIZE? he asked all his friends to make some Remixes. I really rate the remix from SKATE under his moniker of UNSPORTMANLIKE (who is also into the visual collective of VJ PFADFINDEREI - the dudes who do the "Modeselektor"-visuals and the "Bpitch"-Artwork) which got a bit Dubsteppy. The best remix comes from SIRIUSMO. But as far as he told me - thats actually not a real remix. All he did - was putting the vocalsample of WHAT YOU WANT - YOU WANNA DANCE on top of one of his most secret bombs. "Housi" can be proud. He got a real killertrack. This track is guaranteed to make ALLTHEGIRLS fall in love with Housi and Siriusmo.
