Pates

Pates is an abreviation I just made up for the Pants party this weekend featuring Kato and Frames. It works if you think about it.

I'm pretty excited for this saturday as we're getting together two sick DJs who know each others style really well, and are also big fans of each other, meaning that there's gonna be some sick chemistry bopping round that bar that I think y'all will enjoy.

To give you a little sampler of the excellent music taste of the blokes involved, I've got a little mixtape that my boy Frames threw together of some jams that he's really feelin' at the moment.



Bucky Gunts by Frames

The tracklisting is a veritable who's who of spicy house music producers at the moment, and it's crafted together in a fashion that shows off the same finese the man has been displaying in the studio in recent times.

So if you're interested in seeing the real deal behind the wheels of steal this saturday, Pants kicks off at 9pm and goes til late at Melt Bar, just around the corner from Mansions. For more details check it out on Facebook. As mentioned, tunes will be provided all night by Kato, Frames, Mo' Hat Mo' Play, and the Free Swedes. Get involved.

Munk

Munk is dope. He owns a record label and makes some beautiful music. It has been a while between releases for him however. His most recent track came out the other day and it's dope. Check it out in the video below.

The single package is complete with some amazing remixes too from the likes of Azari & III, and Shir Kahn to name a few, and the later remix I have to share with you. It's a 7 minute house classic. You'll enjoy it.

As a super special gift I've got one of his older tunes for you. It's called Live Fast Die Old and it's one of my favourite songs. Get Some.

What do Hot Chip, Joakim, A-Trak, Midnight Juggernauts, Munk, Tiga & Brodinski, Holy Ghost, Breakbot, The Twelves, Yuksek and Jupiter all have in common?

They're all playing at the incredible Calvi on the Rocks festival this year.

Calvi
 On
 The
 Rocks
 is
 a
 music
 festival in Corsica an island in the Mediterranean Sea that is West of Italy, South-east of the French Mainland and North of the island of Sardinia. It's a hybrid of
 electronic
 music,
 pop
 music,
 traditional
 music both live
 and from some of the worlds foremost 
DJs.


The
 idea 
of 
this 
festival 
is 
to combine
 people 
around sea,
 sun, 
holidaying in the Mediterranean 
and of course, great
 music.
 

 Calvi
 On
 The
 Rocks 
takes 
place
 in
 Calvi, 
a 
small 
and 
beautiful
 town
 in 
the 
north
west 
of
 Corsica.
 
During 
the 
afternoon,
 people 
who 
want 
to 
have 
a 
rest
 and listen 
to
 music
 
can 
stay 
at 
the 
Octopussy 
Beach 
(to 
party), Bout 
Du 
Monde 
Beach 
(to 
relax) 
or Mara 
Beach.


From
 9
pm 
to 
2am, 
there are 
Dj 
sets and live music 
at 
the 
'Théâtre
 de 
Verdure' 
near 
the 
sea.
 After 
this, everybody on the island is invited to 
Club 
Tao 
or 
Club 
24 
where 
the 
party
 continues 
with 
all 
the 
acts 
from 
the 
festival.
 The whole thing of course going over 5 days.

And all we've got to offer in Australia is 2 days up in bloody Woodford.

Now maybe you're wondering why I'm talking about this considering how far away I live from Corsica, and the reasons aren't that the organisers are shipping me a case of Russian Standard Vodka for a plug, but rather that by talking about it I could get my hands on one of the best mixtapes I've heard in quite a while.

Jupiter are a group out of Paris and London in the same vein as Joakim and Cut Copy, making music that is, as they describe it, electro funk disco. They're really good. If you check out their Facebook page and scroll down you can preview some of their work. This mixtape is a taste of Calvi to come, with all the tracks being from artists who are performing at the July festival. Get on it.
