Deep Side Cuts

Joubert Singers - Stand on the word (leftside wobble edit)

Opinion is divided on who does the best remix of this great tune. Some say it’s the Larry Levan, others (including me) say it’s the Luke Unabomber edit. But there’s a new kid in town, courtesy of the Leftside Wobble gang. And it’s a beaut.

Pontchartrain - L&H (Pontchartrain's Hard Love Edit) 

Yacht Disco 101

Ember - WhoMadeWho

On Repeat, that is all.

Aphex Twin - With My Family

This Limerick langer has sneakily been releasing more tracks on Soundcloud (hss hss) under the guise of user48736353001. His productions of late have been a lot more accessible, or so my two young daughters say (yes, I was listening to this track ‘as the title suggests) although, at 6 and 3, I think it will be a while until I introduce them to the joys of Come to Daddy and Rubber Johnny.

Candi Staton - Nights on Broadway (GDFN edit)

This track is one of those tunes that brings out the shameful urge to don the sunglasses, strut down the street, and do the double-shooters in quick succession at anyone who’s there. Props to GDFN, who are Phil Asher and Martin Lodge, who slip their midas touch on to this, check out more of their edits here. Their edit of Steely Dan’s Peg is one of my favourites.

Local Natives - Breakers (Cosmic Kids Remix)

Today’s beaut of a track I ‘re-appropriated’ from the fantastic Swooner Rather than Hater blog. Swooner is run by the fantastic KT and featured some fantastic exclusive mixes from the likes of yours truly and other greats. KT can be also found co-presenting the brilliant Tiny Choons show on Radiomade.ie where you’ll no doubt be aware that we host our bi-weekly show.

Velvet Season & The Hearts of Gold -Truth Machine for Lovers

Velvet Season have been on my radar a lot for a while, indeed their stomper of a tune joyfully entitled, Camel Toe Central, hasn't left ‘the bag’ since it worked it’s way in there. It’s swirling, dubby, analogueness (yes it’s a word) has me hooked from day one.

Beck - Sound and Vision

It is my humble opinion that when history re-visits the breadth, scale, and quality of Beck’s catalogue, he will be considered on a level with the artist who originally recorded this track. Put on your headphones, hit full-screen, and devote the next 9 and a half minutes of your life to this genius.

Muddy Waters- My Home Is In The Delta (Jack Frost Edit)

Lovely, light touch from Jack Frost. He just lets the mud shine itself.

Miss Broadway - Belle Epoque

Ok, so you know when you’re either off the gargle or indeed have taken the responsible step and nominated yourself to be designated driver and surrounded by a load of friends whom have lost their ability to interact with their phone with both eyes open. Whilst you sit there drinking your mineral and try and ignore the fact that they’re a couple of inches too close to you, Invariably there’s one oft-repeated personalised cliche these window lickers roar to you ad nauseum as if they’re the sole genesis of this revelation. Well mine is that I bear a resemblance to the actor, Elijah Wood, one I find extremely difficult to see. 

So in research to see where this resemblance exists outside the realm of drunken enlightenment, I noticed that Mr.Wood does a lot of Djing. Now I’m extremely skeptical of an actor who utilises their fame to garner ill-deserved credit when djing (See Kristian Nairn/Hodor (notice the beats headphones)), so I listened to one of Mr.Wood’s sets with my finger poised over the stop button, yet was really really surprised.

This jam from Belle Epoque was one of the stand-out tracks from it and you can check out his mixes here.

Villagers - Courage

Regular visitors to this site (and listeners to our radio show) will start to notice a pattern to our preferences of music genres. Whilst Stephen tend to mix it up a good bit, Neiler's love of folk greatly out-weighs mine. That said I do sometimes subscribe to the charity for neck-beards who can't afford proper drumsticks or any other instruments bar a guitar, and this is extended to my fellow-hood group The Villagers. This beautiful tune, Courage, from the Glenageary natives is taken from their new album, Darling Arithmetic, which is due out on April the 10th. For me, with it's stripped back vocal and subtle strings, it could easily be a b-side/extra track from the brilliant Lambchop is a Woman.

Taken By Trees - Dreams (Dub Version)

Victoria Bergsman laid down a lovely dub remix of her Taken By Trees track, Dreams. Solid Sunday stuff.

TV on the Radio - Test Pilot (Chilly Gonzales re-make)

At Deep Side Cuts' Towers we're huge fans of this tinkler of ivories, his re-versions and awesome collaborations (Jamie Lidell and Daft Punk to name a few) are just simply sublime and this cover/re-make of the Tv on the Radio track is a stunner.

D.I.M - Roket

Please help me. I appear to have got my head stuck in a bassbin as a result of listening to this track. Boyz Noize Records in the library with this Bassy, Stabby, Dirty number.

What Kind of Man (Nicolas Jaar remix) - Florence & the Machine

What's this? what's this? A Jaar remix that's dancefloor friendly you say? Why yes it is, and a bloody good 'un too.

Win Butler - Anna

Will he win? Will Butler of Arcade Fire fame brings a bit of head bopping edge with this number from his debut solo LP.   

Hot Chip - Hurricane Lights

Lovely bit of whoop to the first track released from Why Make Sense, which comes out this summer.
