Moustache Machine reMixes Billy Idol

billy_idol1

It appears to be a day of ‘80’s reMixes!

I approached this reMix of Billy Idol’s ‘White Wedding’ with some caution, this could have been a total cheese-fest. Thankfully Moustache Machine never stoops that low, what he does instead is give us an awesome ElectroPop version of the track. Cold digital sounds lend the track and extra air of tension that builds until the fat distorted Electro synths join the party. It all works surprisingly, and wonderfully well with Mr. Idols instantly recognisable vocal.

Goin’ Old School: Farley ‘Jackmaster’ Funk (Feat. Darryl Pandy) – Love Can’t Turn Around

Absolutely everything about the video for Farley ‘Jackmaster’ Funk and Darryl Pandy’s 1987 House breakthrough ‘Love Can’t Turn Around’ is ridiculous, even at the time it was terrible. Massive track though.
