BLAME CANADA

Australia is known for three things around the world - beautiful beaches, beautiful people and killer four-to-the-floor beats.  I could discuss all three in great lengths with great enthusiasm, but I will stick to the latter for our purposes today.


Coming from Canada and seeing the vibrant, wild nightlife in Australia for almost a year was an experience unto itself.  I learnt in great detail what it means to be a true trashbag - and I have now returned to my home country and have begun teaching others the way of the trashbag.  It's going really well.

I have enjoyed so so many toons out of Australia over the last year that the least I can do is return the favour and show what Canadian producers have been busting out in the last few months.

So lets start things off with a shout out to Donald Trump.  He hasn't been getting a whole lot of shout outs lately so I figured I'd step up.

Here's an amazing intro brought to you by Team Canada - a Canadian duo who is playing in my home city tomorrow night and heading straight from the club to the airport - direct to Tokyo.  Have fun boys.  Somehow I doubt that will be a problem.


Another notable recent collaboration, the wild Frenchman and the majestic Canadian - Surkin and Chromeo are at it again. They came together, threw some cheeky lyrics on White Night and here we have it. This track will be sweeping the clubs faster than you can say Chrome Night.


Now one name that has been hard to miss lately is that of Deadmau5, a Canadian out of Toronto whose productions seem to have exploded and gained worldwide recognition over the last nine months.

There is no doubt in my mind that if you have been to a club in Australia over the last 6 months, you have heard this Deadmau5 Daft Punk edit - full and fat and an absolute banger.
Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger (Deadmau5 edit) - Daft Punk  zshare
But here are a few of his lesser know edits and releases that aren't to be missed.
Hi Friend - Deadmau5  zshare
Merrymaking at My Place (Deadmau5 edit) - Calvin Harris  zshare
A softer feel - but the beauty of this Deadmau5 track is the landscape he provides for the sweeping, ethereal vocals of Kaskade.
Move for Me - Deadmau5
One last shout out for the day is going to be reserved for MSTRKRFT. Two boys from Toronto who are arguably best know for last year's remix of Justice's D.A.N.C.E.
For all of you lovers of the primo era affectionately referred to as the nineteen eighties - you just might like this throwdown from the MSTRs.
Bodywork - MSTRKRFT  zshare

and finally - your music quote of the day -

"I'd like to dedicate this song to the girl in the third row with the yellow underwear." - Jimi Hendrix

Next week, look forward to a special select feature of tracks from Italia - a country of fine wine and electro bangers. Stay tooned!
