One Two Three, Let’s Make It Work

Dead Prez “Hell Yeah (Pistol Pete Remix)” – This is a Fluxblog exclusive! Pistol Pete has outdone himself this time, matching up Dead Prez’s “Hell Yeah” with the music from The Slits’ version of “I Heard It In The Grapevine” (aka One Of The Best Pieces Of Music Ever). It’s a perfect fit, easily one of the most inspired bootleg mixes from the past two years. I’m not essing around, you need to hear this. (Click here to buy the original mix from Amazon.)

Wagon Christ “Saddic Gladdic” – For those of you familiar with Luke Vibert’s work as Wagon Christ, this song shouldn’t come as any surprise. It follows the typical Wagon Christ formula – elegant bass grooves, light funk percussion, lots of great keyboard textures playing nice little melodies. Though almost all Wagon Christ songs sound alike, they certainly aren’t all equal. “Saddic Gladdic” has this wonderfully joyous, floaty sound to it; as though it should be the soundtrack to the most confident, pleasurable moments of your life.
