Sweet Headache 004: “Pumpin’ House”

February 4, 2010 No Comments Author:marvis

Here’s a little warm-up for the weekend: A pumpin’, pushin’ and ass-kickin’ mix full of House music. I included both remixes of classics as well as a few fresh tracks. Enjoy!

Tracklist:

Strip Steve – Breakin’
Olaf Basoski – NGOM
45th Street – Adrenalin
Gimbal&Sinan – Take Off
Roger Prinz – Freak Like (Ron Paul Mix)
Urban Shakedown & Micky Finn – Some Justice (Super Mal Remix)
Soul Of Man – Dirty Waltzer (Trouble Soup!! Remix)
Slyde – We Love It
The Ting Tings – That’s Not My Name (Soul Seekerz Dirty Dub Vox Mix)
Mihell – Don’t Mean Shit
Powers That Be – Planet Rock

Nerditional information: I would like to mention some real dance classics that I included as remixes in this mix. First of all, there’s Usura’s “Open Your Mind” mashed up into 45th Street – “Adrenalin”. It appears they haven’t released much of relevance apart from that track, but I still dig this!

Then there’s “Some Justice” by Urban Shakedown & Mickey Finn. If you listen to the original, it might be a little hard to understand what’s so great about this track. However, this particular style (Breakbeat House / early UK Hardcore / Oldschool Breaks) was pretty popular in the early 90s and also got me hooked to electronic music. I am still glad that there is a more recent remix though – I guess it’s a “you had to be there”-thing.

There are also a few fresh tracks in here, such as the awesome “Dancin’” by Strip Steve or “Take Off” by a fabulous newcomer duo called Gimbal&Sinan . I really like their productions for being very playful and well-produced, and I think they have a lot of potential.
