DIKSOF 013 - Roberto Calzetta & Twin Soul - Faith EP Remixes

Such a beauty of a remix package… featuring Hannes Fischer and Marc Poppcke from Berlin and LeSale from Vienna.
Return of the faith… Three remixes, especially made for the forthcoming open air season. So, open your heart as wide as possible, drink a bottle of good wine and give some love to the one(s) next to you.

01 / Faith (LeSale Remix) / TT 06:51
The first remix comes from Vienna’s finest export at the moment: LeSale. After great releases on Luv Shack Records and even bigger remixes for Megadon Betamax and Volta Cab we didn’t expect anything less. But listen for yourself. Goosebumps galore…

---

02 / Faith (Hannes Fischer Remix) / TT 07:00
Up next is the master of pop minimalism: Hannes Fischer. His underground edits of Röyksopp, Adele and others gained a lot of clicks and fame. The Adele edit had almost 200k of plays on Soundcloud… Wow! No wonder that even Lana Del Rey asked for a remix treatment on her “Summertime Madness” single release and Alex Barck from Jazzanova signed him right away to the Sonar Kollektiv roster. Fortunately we were early enough to ask him for a remix before we had to close our number account in Switzerland to afford his work.

03 / Walk On Us (Marc Poppcke Remix) / TT 07:30
What a pleasure to have our good friend and musical companion Marc Poppcke on board. He shows us how to go mad when a party has already moved outside the club and inside the hearts of all these jerking bodies that still can’t stop and totally forgot to go home. Abstract disco for advanced dancefloors.

DiKSO Edit 11 - Marc Poppcke - You'll Never Change A Diva

He is back, Marc Poppcke is back... A good friend, fellow DJ and definitely the midwife for this blog and stuff. It's number eleven and a little bit different, a ham of an edit. Uptempo, driving and catchy and a mash up as well.



Based on the 1981 #1 US Dance Charts smasher "Change - Paradise", Marc added a completly different vocal from Adeva's 1988 debut single "In And Out Of My Life" and some effects for full dancefloor pleasure.

DiKSO Edit 11 - Marc Poppcke - You'll Never Change A Diva by DiKSO Edits

Marc Poppcke is very busy these days. He started the promising "Soulfooled" label together with Berlin based Alex Niggemann and the Superlounge guys from Düsseldorf, is finishing his master degree at the Berlin University Of Arts and he always works on new productions and remixes. Have a look on his soundcloud page and listen to his brilliant remix for C-Rock and Brett Johnson. We are very happy about this wonderful edit that Marc has tested already in different clubs over the last months. Chicks dig it...!

Was wer wie...:

Dikso feiert! Das erstes Vinyl steht in den Läden (und in diversen Charts) und in den nächsten Tagen wird der 10. DiKSO Edit online gehen. OK, wer braucht schon einen Anlass für rauschende Ballnächte und willenlose Trinkspiele...

Kein geringerer Club als die "Kleine Reise" in Kreuzberg überlässt uns für dieses Vorhaben seine heiligen Hallen. Mit dabei auch Marc Poppcke, der an der Entstehung von Dikso nicht ganz unbeteiligt war und als musikalischer Berater und Freund des Hauses sowieso bei keiner Party fehlen darf. Mädels, es darf getanzt werden...

...und wo:

Kleine Reise, Spreewaldplatz 8, 10999 Berlin - Kreuzberg

*****************************************

DiKSO celebrates itself... The first DiKSO vinyl has hit the shops (and some charts...) and we are awaiting the 10th DiKSO edit. Watch out for some Italo Post Funk madness from downunder. Okay, who needs any reason to rock out... ;-)

"Kleine Reise" in Kreuzberg offered us their mighty place for this event, a place where acts like Soulphiction, Ali Ooft, Trickski, Tornado Wallace and even Pilooski (only to mention a very, very few...) played one after another. This is definitly an honour for us. Thanks mates!

Sa. 24.04.2010 - DiKSO 2 @ Süss War Gestern

DiKSO blog... DiKSO podcasts... DiKSO edits... what's next? A DiKSO app? A DiKSO TV show? DiKSO potholders?

No, it's the DiKSO night @ Berlin's "Süss War Gestern" that completes the DiKSO package! Again, Marc Poppcke and Andi de Luxe open their musical box of pandora and invited the brand new label signing from "Sleazy Beats Records": Daniel Solar. Come by, grab one of a billion sofas and have some drinks with us. See ya!

DiKSO! DiKSO? Ja, DiKSO... Kein Schreibfehler!

Schon irgendwie Disko, aber auch nicht wirklich. Klingt wie Disko sieht aber aus wie House... oder Minimal... oder Techno... Diskoästhetik in minimalistischem Gewande, DiKSO...

Bewaffnet mit eigenen Tracks und Edits treiben MARC POPPCKE und ANDI DE LUXE sowie DANIEL SOLAR, ihr heutiger Gast aus dem Hause SLEAZY BEATS, Diskopuristen und Musiktraditionalisten in den Wahnsinn. Was auf den ersten Blick wohlvertraut scheint, entpuppt sich schon nach wenigen Beats als etwas völlig anderes. Nichts ist heilig, alles ist erlaubt. Und Ernst wird mit Jägermeister abgefüllt. Achtung, 130 BPM werden heute ganz bestimmt nicht erreicht...

DiKSO Podcast 03 - Marc Poppcke

Let me tell you something about Marc Poppcke. Don't panic, I won't start with "how it all began", even though i could. And I don't want to tell you about his recent releases on ultracool labels like Jimpster's Freerange Records. And for sure I will not mention his international DJ gigs.

No, I will tell you about a guy that has always been this and that. Of course it's all about four to the floor, he even wrote an assignment about this fact. But sometimes it's house, sometimes it's techno and it's even trance. And this time it's disco. Or is it disco house? Minimal disco? Slowmo trance? Who cares? Marc doesn't! Everytime you thought you got him he is up for something more.

Be aware, this is nothing for purists (und das ist auch gut so!), here is DiKSO podcast number three...

DiKSO Edit 01 - Marc Poppcke - No One Can Stop Me Now

One part of this blog is about new disco-edits. So I think it's time to start with it.
The first one is coming from MC Fadden & Whitehead and their big hit "Ain't no stoppin us now" on Philadelphia Records.
Released from their self-titled debut album in 1979, the song spent a week at number one on the R&B singles chart. It also proved to be a successful crossover hit, peaking at number thirteen on the Billboard Hot 100, and reached number 5 in the UK. The single also made it to number ten on the disco charts.The distinctive bass hook was played by Philadelphia International Records house musician Jimmy Williams. The song eventually sold over 2 million copies and went platinum.



I really like this cheesy and melodic disco track. Especially the bassline and the strings are awesome. That's why I decided to do a more up to date dj-friendly instrumental version of it, cutting out the main parts, adding some drum sounds and rearranged it with a lot of filter action ;-)

I hope you like it!
