Producer/Dj, Steve Summers will be releasing a few tracks under his alias Malvoeaux in the next few months through Future Times records run by Maxmillion Dunbar. Steve’s work as Malvoeaux is straight bad-ass 90’s style filter-house. High tempo, ultra repetitive and red hot, each track evolves slowly giving the listener new samples to chew on, and always wanting more. These tracks have a truly soulful sound and play intentionally hot almost like a bootleg adding to their unique authentic feel. Its like what Daft Punk’s Homework album would sound like if it was made after a three day weekend cocaine binge. You can check out Steve Summer’s 7 other alias here.

our listeners
Here’s an old mix Bonz and I made a few years back. We made this mix together, working alternatively on and off over many different evenings usually while drinking. This is no’Too Many Dj’s’ mix. The theme for this mix was intentional use of dissonant genres, unconventional and/or strange virtual mixing techniques(no train wrecks only sailboat wrecks) while keeping it enjoyable for the listener. Success! Each track is pretty short and never stays a constant BPM. They seem significantly slower or faster than their beginnings due to the ultra limited program we were using at the time. The intro is sounds from plugging Super Puzzle Fighter 2 with coins until it crashes. The entire mix is then sprinkled with sounds from the game although they may be hard to notice. Its a very silly mix but we like it. The tracks we chose are all fairly popular and listener accessible. Each track tends to be the best of its album in our opinions. We picked through this mix like nit-picking Apes with OCD. Every off-beat thing you hear on this mix was done intentionally. We have tried three times to make newer mixes done in this style but they end up too ’strange’ and/or simply not this ‘good’ although we’re getting closer.

Look at all those buttons
I was listening to Astro Unicorn Radio the other day and this sweet ass track came on. I instantly looked it up and was pleased to see that it was part of an album filled with even more sweet tracks! Voyage Direct is Tom Trago’s Debut album and is partially comprised of singles he’s released over the last few years. From start to finish, this album rocks and has an amazing variety of track styles. If I had to compare it to anyone, I would say If Mark E, Omar S and New World Aquarium got together it might sound something like Voyage Direct. Tom Trago is from Amsterdam and you should buy his album here.

Beach of Dreams
Came across this dreamy gem on youtube the other day. It’s from the album Essence which is surprisingly a drum and bass album. Kinda sounds like something that might of been on the Fifth Element Score.
A Guy Called Gerald - Beaches and Deserts (feat Wendy Page)
Keeping with the theme, here’s a mellow more down tempo jam from the amazing Larry Heard off the album known as Ice Castles.

Open up the light
I recently loaned my micro Korg to Mr. Adam Test figuring that he’d get much more use out of it than me just letting it sit in the closet. Within a matter of days of him playing with it, this sweet new track was born. Slowmow Electro pop in it’s most honest form is the name of the game here. Love the part about the working man, just great lyrics in general.

I’ve been on a little bit of a pissy italo kick lately. All viked out, I decided i am naturally more interested into the ones with the female singer with thick accents and strange English lyrics. I’m pretty sure most of these italo singers couldn’t even speak English but it seems to be a very validating theme for the genre. Anyway, the accent sounds sexy and when its accompanied by cheesy digital voice samples, heavy voice reverb, regal ass strings, bells or brass synths, and/or anything reminding the listener of castle ball rooms, crystal glass, mirrored platters, gold chandeliers and colors magenta, lime, and blue its a recipe for a italo hit.
the following are good examples of this:
Reverbed assed out piano starts it off in soulful style only achievable by a white person. Think white-soul(khaki shirt unbuttoned, makes you wince a little soul). Arpeggioed bass and playful support synths are led by synthetic strings. the singers voice sounds distant and delayed. Chorus has some kind of distortion synth bullshit. Female voice sounds very filtered like shes singing inside the middle of a cloud or something. Like you can only see her silhouette maybe. Only Music Survives is about love and the future, just like almost every italo song.. ever.
Big Ben Tribe - Tarzan Loves The Summernight.
This track just fucking rocks, snappy digital samples glitter this track, it sounds sun-bleached and bright from the very start. Evil whip snapping snares, phat bass, awesome lyrics, wicked breakdown, wet ass tribal shirtless Phil Collins style drums. The song seems to be about some imaginative ideal love fantasy. Song mentions dragons for some weird reason.
Maybe i shouldn’t include this track because it has a male lead, buts so silly I’m leaving it in… ”Take It’ includes horrible accent and lyrics, playful/childish and confusing style music paired with lyrics solely about making love. Seems to me like the song should be called ‘Take ME’. Its catchy and rare-ish i guess. It was probably the Wuss-Pop of its day. The song reminds me of one of those USA spaceships that you place quarters into and place toddlers in for minute rides, only this one has some shitty 70’s erotic space backdrop painted on velvet.
Fun Fun - Colour My Love (Original Mix)
Dope track all around. Crazy girls sing while flash dancing in unison. who cares if i can’t understand anything they say. Fun Fun’s produced by Alvaro Ugolini who made Advance’s ‘Take Me To The Top’ previously featured on this blog. His stuff always rocks. When they sing ‘colour my love’ its clear that they are saying ‘colour’, and not the American ‘color’.
This Track is even more energized than ‘Colour My Love’ sounds like a sewing machine just sewing stitching all over some person who’s trying to dance while sweating heavily in brightly coloured flowing clothing. The digital vocal sampling is over the fucking top. That sewing machine just doesn’t quit stitching over their smiling faces till you can’t even understand what the lyrics are.
This track an italo ballad or something. I still can’t understand what is sung in the chorus and refuse to look up lyrics or find any info about this artist or this track. It’s a pretty dope track though and a good example of bad lyrics and bad accents. Sounds like some little girl just screaming from the mountain tops while it rains some kind of bright peach coloured rain. Maybe it sounds like some morning fruit juice commercial.
Pretty sick track. Lots of delay and reverb and ‘toms. The singer is obviously surrounded by chandeliers in some fogged out cave. The ground I’m sure is wet and covered in broken glass slippers and rubber mice. The signers accent Isn’t too bad in this one, but i personally just can’t catch what shes saying.. probably something about love, or the future, or both.
Sheila B. Devotion - Your Love Is Good(Remix)
Sheila B. is super cool. Shes a French singer but her accent is no better than they Italians. Great lyrics through and through though. Its a bit of a slower track. I gotta give it to her though..
This track happens to be about love.
The French created existentialism, so it only makes sense they would make an upbeat disco happy ass track about misery. Lyrics rock and is catchy as hell. I’m only including this for laughs.
Sylvia Love - Extraterrestrial Lover
You listen to it. Its awesome, and for some reason difficult to find on the net. This track actually has nothing to do with the rest. Its just fucking A+. I apologize my copy couldn’t be of even better quality.
Vivian Vee is super hot and has a awesome voice and can’t speak English at all. This is pretty dope track. Just listen closely, you can almost hear her reading the lyric notes in the booth and not understanding any of it, both nostrils covered in white.
More of her stuff, this particualr track is all ‘castled’ out, as one friend put it. Marble floors, roaring fire. Just an awesome track though, it seems just as much about the instrumentation as the singing. her accent makes it what it is though.

fly me to swimming pool planet
Holy hell it’s hot out here. It’s 4:00 in the morning right now and I’m still hot and sweaty, and it’s only getting hotter. it’s supposed to be around 100 all week. I know that means nothing to people other places in the world but we’re not used to this shit here in Portland. So I put together a nice little refreshing Summertime mix to share. The overall theme is light and breezy, soft and mellow. Some tracks dip down in volume level which creates a nice floating ethereal effect in my mind. Mostly just mid tempo dubby grooves that seem to fit perfectly with the heat. I did this in one take earlier today, and it could be fine tuned a bit, but fuck it it’s too hot to do anything.

'Stick Around!'
So, I’d been working on this pissy minimal house/techno mix for way too long. I recently decided to take a break from it after becoming exceptionally bored stacking shit on top of shit. It’s summer, time for another ultra happy mix. But for who? how about that crew of hot blonds who work at the Perierra Creperie @ SE 12th and Hawthorne PDX?! I discovered it was one of their birthdays last week and rushed to finish it today as a little gift. Happy birthday. This mix uses less tracks than other mixes I’ve made in the past but i actually think it gives it better consistency and more pronounced overall motif. I was going for an electrifying quasi French house sound, but without using any Lifelike tracks. His tracks are in all French house mixes already. Anyways this sugar drenched mix is best enjoyed while eating a sugar drenched Crepe.
