SANGRIA SUMMER WIND-DOWN + D'EON Remix of Tim Hoover


Wilson Gowan and I are finishing up a summer of sanguine-tinged Thursday evenings of disco, house, early 80's R&B and boogie at Blue Dog with the final Sangria Summer night of the year at the Blue Dog Motel. It's Thursday, August 25th, during the final Saint Laurent street sale of the season. Facebook RSVP and more details here.

Tim Hoover - Numbers (D'Eon Remix) by Woven Records

Jesse Dube-Smith (AKA St Robe) is at the helm of the Winnipeg-Montreal spanning label Woven Records, and has recently nabbed D'Eon for a remix of Tim Hoover's Numbers. It's a jungle-influenced scattershot post-industrial pummeling, a little more hi-fi than the D'Eon of yesteryear.

People Love Boats





In my old age, I'm losing my sense of taste. That has to be the reason why I'm currently listening to Real Ibiza 6 and not this excellent mix that dapper, fellow barbe-rousse Jesse R. Cumming. Chances are you've probably heard him DJing 'round the Mile End neighbourhood at Buvette Chez Simone and Sparrow.

Landscape & Silence



Formerly Sandy & The Sunset Gang, Kook is a nice slice of left-field disco from Hawaiian-born Sandy O'neale, produced by Yukihiro Takahashi, Haruomi Hosono, & Ryuichi Sakamoto from Yellow Magic Orchestra, from her LP Earthly Pleasures. Besides the gold-to-my-ears production (anything that seems like it could be part of a video art performance from 1983 I love, really), it's a solidly built song, and Sandii's voice has many of the same characteristics that make Allison Goldfrapp so endearing. Were I to supervise the soundtrack to a remake of the Sean Connery/Wesley Snipes film Rising Sun about a murdered blonde hostess/prositute, this would be a key component. It would also have to be set in 1983.

Party Crash




The Change song features Luther Vandross on vocals, sampled by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis for Janet Jackson's All For You. Both O'Neal and Hikaru's songs were produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.

Thursday, June 23rd at Blue Dog Motel: Tommy Bottega (DJ Ilya) & Jay Watts III

Come prepared for plenty of summer dancefloor killers and fillers! Facebook link is on the poster above.

BIG DUMB HOUSE & Brandy



Re: Call You I'm never for big, dumb house music unless it has an accompanying big dumb chorus or hook to go with it, but there's something about the rolling beat, masterful samples and darker undertones to this track that gets me... Or it could be all the Neo-Citron.

SANGRIA SUMMER: Jeudi/Thursday Blue Dog Motel

Jay Watts III Sounds for Sockhops Mix

Tomorrow evening I'll be DJing along with Ottawa's Raph W Glass at the now-ascendant Blue Dog Motel's newest night, Sangria Summer. Every Thursday I'll be joined by guests from near and far showcasing the most sanguine and sometimes saccharine house-party songs from here and there, along with economically-priced pitchers of potent sangria. GET DOWN.

Hosted by Thomas Kim & Stephanie Navidad (Disposable Mondays)
