Dusty Crates

The 1982 Madness original is a great ska/pop classic…there’s something about the piano and string combo that makes me skip a little higher and smile a little brighter. So the fact that the tune has not only been updated, but also brought back home (so to speak) resonates a whole lot better with me.

A couple of Houston’s leading electro house remixers (and stylists), DJ 0045 & Fixture, take “Our House” in bit of a far-out, skitzo direction. The synths swirl, bassline grinds harder and the breakdown pulses–definitely up to date for any intelligently-lit club in this millennium.

An additional catwalk-stompy remix by fellow local DJs Red & Josh Dupont is also included for good measure.

Neon Nites kicks off their 2nd monthly installment at Zeppelin (3101 San Jacinto) with the usual suspects–Fixture, G.Wizz, Bristle, Jeff Mac–and featuring El Nino.

If you can stand the hot glow of the bangers played tonight, then you’ve definitely found your destination for the night. Just don’t leave home without your sunglasses! Shit’s gonna be hot! See Sideline Events for more info –>

Appropriately, the Soular Grooves camp will bring some warmth to the patio, thanks to Eric Salzman, Jibril and Seth Jones.

Although this is out of order, I feel it necessary to post the DIRB! Live on KTRU Part 4 mix from G.Wizz & Jep.

Enjoy it! I’ve got the final part of this live mix with me and Antonio cued up for next week.

So the results are in. Trash Yourself takes the Houston’s Most Hated SXSW 2009 Remix contest. HMH got a pretty good national response, so I’m happy to add that Fixture & G.Wizz’s Neon Nites remix of “Static” made the top 5!

Here are Glasnost’s top five picks:

1. Come Alone (Trash Yourself remix)
2. Come Alone (Culture Prophet remix)
3. Come Alone (Moonlight remix)
4. Static (Fixture & G.Wizz Neon Nites remix)
5. Come Alone (The They Radical Alterity mix)

Listen to all the winners’ remixes at HoustonsMostHated.com.

So there you have it guys. All you Haters can catch the #1 producer at HMH’s SXSW Showcase this year in Austin, Texas. Plus, you should see some of the top five perform at upcoming parties.

Congrats to all the winners!

Once again, we’re gonna DIRB! at Block 21 (2420-B Washington, in The H) this Saturday with guest DJ Squincy Jones.

It’s gonna go down with them two every other Saturday. But don’t worry: we’ll remind ya!

Meanwhile, over at the Backroom (Main @ West Alabama), the hub-bub (G.Wizz) plays at Neon Nites with Fixture, Mr. Bristle, Jason Alan plus more.
