Rude For Thought

I'm slightly blown away by this classical re-working of Rihanna's 'Rude Boy' by Australian outfit Aston.

Keeping An Eye On... Tom Molloy

I'm back apparently. Today, I finally got to trawl through my blog e-mail and discovered some real gems among the glut of PR bullshit.

One of the better finds was Athenry-based producer Tom Molloy, whose club-friendly electro mixes of established hits are very much 'my bag'.

The mixes are very much along the lines of stuff I play while DJing, so it's kinda cool to know that somebody close to home has produced them.

These are a couple of my favourites but, if you like what you hear, I'd suggest checking out the rest on his SoundCloud.

Rude Remixed

I've never had particularly strong feelings about Rihanna and, frankly, thought the most interesting things about her were her domestic difficulties and bizarre pronunciation of the word 'paper'.

However, I will gladly concede that her recent single 'Rude Boy' is one of the best pop singles of the past twelve months and has, deservedly, been inescapable the past few months.

The song is notable also for the fact that it seems to lend itself extremely well to souped up, dancefloor-destroying reswizzes. These mixes by Rude Crew and Debauched, that landed in my inbox a few days ago, are prime examples of this:

Also worth a spin are the Cosmic Dawn and DVW remixes:
