I first heard "Jo" by Mr. Oizo on the radio while in Berlin. It hooked me, so I did some quick research and realized it came off of a record of his which I didn't have, "Lamb's Anger."
I pondered for a bit which track from this album to feature here on the blog, but eventually realized I couldn't pick just one. Here are a few of my favorites from the record.
Jo
Cut Dick
Steroids Featuring Uffie
Two Takes It Featuring Carmen Castro
It's quite amazing to see how many times Lyn Collin's 1972 hit "Think (About It)" has gone through the sampler by this point. I'm not a big fan of the ubiquity of the hook, but I'm loving the flow and disco-boogie and funky slap bass!

Slave - Feel My Love (InnerWestSoul Remix)
Feel My Love (InnerWestSoul Edit) by InnerWestSoul
My friend and Chicago house legend Derrick Carter once gave a really good summary of "deep house" saying something to the effect of, "Disco, R&B, funk and soul are all house music. We used to call that music 'deep house,' because it's like reaching back to the music of your roots."
Last month, I did a feature on an amazing rework of ELO's Evil Woman by Sydney-based cratedigger InnerWestSoul. There really isn't much representation for this bloke online beyond his SoundCloud page, so I can't tell you much about him.
What I can say, though is that I think this guy is doing an amazing job at putting his fingerprint on classics, and turning them into dancefloor-ready jams for the 21st century. What I especially like is the fact that a lot of his remixes are concocted using only original bits of the tracks, with no extra additives. I appreciate this purist process, because it leaves so much of what makes the original intact, while somehow strengthening its soul.

Whiskey Barons - Whiskey Makossa
whiskey makossa by flavorheardA couple months ago Tyler introduced me to the Whiskey Barons, a DJ/Producer duo.
This track is awesome, I'm not sure of its origins, and according to facebook this track is a reworking. So if anyone can point me towards the original I'd be much obliged.
