Yazz – The Only Way Is Up (Goshi Goshi Mix)

admin — Mon, 07 Sep 2009 18:03:27 +0000

Twenty-one years ago, the United Kingdom was undergoing what would become known as the “second summer of love”, wherein the music scene of 1988–acid house, raves, ecstasy and psychedelics, et al.–kept rising higher and higher (figuratively and otherwise) towards a blissed out, smiley-faced experience. Goshi Goshi seem to be reaching back into their pockets to reinvigorate hat idea with this smashed up house remix of 1988′s “The Only Way Is Up”, which upon its release gave Yazz’s label, Big Life Records, their first UK number one and set the label up to have an run of top 40 hits which lasted over 10 years.

Goshi Goshi, whose first track “Lock Shot” was massively hyped up by the likes of Kissy Sellout, Jaymo and Norman “Fatboy Slim” Cook, make a ripped up, jittery vocal mix and jump up arrangement, pushing the seven-minute mark without tiring out the listener and, instead, we’re all just waiting on comments from the track’s original production squad, Coldcut. The release date for the full package of Yazz “The Only Way Is Up 2009″ is September 7 and features other remixes by Miami-based house producer Robbie Rivera, Soulmakers, Nathan C and Ben Preston.

The B-side is an exclusive release of the bands razor sharp cover of Primal Scream’s Swastika Eyes, a version that both Mani & Bobby Gillespie have got extremely excited about – “Brilliant… proper LOVE it!” – Mani. Big remix from exciting new names Goshi Goshi completes this formidable bundle, making Always More undoubtedly one of the most significant electronic releases this year. Always More offers a glimpse of the variety and depth on ‘Animal’, showing what a remarkable album should be expected, justifying the bands standing as the flag bearers of the new wave of British electronic music. Since first storming onto the scene last year, autoKratz have swiftly established a reputation for releasing some of the most exciting dancefloor smashes around.

The Young Punx – MASHitUP (Goshi Goshi Remix)

The first single from The Young Punx second album, featuring vocals from Laura Kidd, awesome ravey fidgety mixes from Shir Khan and Goshi Goshi and an insane new video from Han Hoogerbrugge!

The Young Punx; an innovative collective of diverse musicians led by inventive multi-instrumentalist and producer, Hal Ritson, have been building themselves quite a reputation of late. Resisting easy definition by continuing to deliver fresh sounding, first-class electronic music, coupled with a string of hugely popular remixes for the likes of Sonny J, Mighty Dub Katz and Giant Jnr, The Young Punx are becoming one of London’s hottest exports. Drawing on an eclectic fusion of influences – breaks, house, rock, pop and electro – to create a sound loosely coined as “mashpop and punkstep”, they get ready to release their second album in Spring 2009.

MASHitUP is its first single release, a fine slice of quality breakbeat driven electro pop featuring a killer punky vocal from ‘new girl on the block’ Laura Kidd (fresh from touring with Tricky and her collaboration on ‘Automatic’ with Michael Gray, Eye Industries) and staggering shredding guitar licks from The Young Punx’ resident guitar virtuoso, Guthrie Govan. It’s dirty, it’s multi-layered and it’s loud – just the way they like it.

MASHitUP is already creating vibrations across the globe. From performing it live to a rapturous 15,000 strong crowd alongside the Stereophonics in Yokohama Arena, Japan, to featuring it in their inspired DJ set alongside Tiesto at Ibiza super club, Privilege, it’s going down an absolute (electric) storm.

Discerningly keen-eared blog tastemakers have been onto this for some time, sharing and hyping MASHitUP since mixes surfaced 6-weeks ago. Support from key blogspots, such as Discodust, Discobelle, Get Weird and Monster Says Rawr – considered instrumental in unearthing and breaking the hottest of fringe and underground acts – are all marking The Yong Punx as one to watch this year:

“I love the original on this, The Young Punx are bad as fooook, will be playing this ”
– Micky Slim

Filmed out and about in Old Street, London, and more intimately at Hoxton’s cult ‘Phone in Sick’ night, hosted by Jerry Bouthier, MASHitUP’s video is a visual feast of freakish fun. Cut and animated by renowned Dutch Digital Artist, Han Hoogerbrugge, if you’ve ever wondered what Old St might look like should a troop of bikini-clad clowns invade, take a peek and wonder no more…

Mixes come from the Berlin Battery’s Shir Khan and new MofoHifi signings, Goshi Goshi. Shir Khan is undoubtedly one of the finest German DJ / Producers to have emerged in recent years and underlines exactly why he deserves the hype with this mash-up of electro house style leads, distorted e-guitar solos, baile funk drum rolls and a shuffled groove. All in all a massive record already singled out by Pete Tong for inclusion in his Fast Trax Show – “Totally rocking remix!”

Goshi Goshi lean their mix towards the ‘sound of 2008’ fidget house. With a banging combination of retro rave revivals, dropping basslines and glitchy beats, they deliver a killer peak-time remix.
