Funky Friday - Keyboard Wizards and 80's Electrickery

Every Friday is Funky Friday on Planet Mondo, and this week brings you the youtube choices and a super rare remix from guest blogger, international DJ and in demand remixer Tronik Youth.

Tronik's remixes include;

The Gossip - Standing The Way Of Control, Listen Up.
The Rakes - The World Was A Mess But His Hair Was Perfect.
New Young Pony Club - Descend (out soon).
And his own single - We Are Tronik Youth (out now).

Not only has Mr T come up with two pieces of 80's electro a go go, but his rare and unreleased remix/shredit of Joy Division's She's Lost Control is available at the bottom of the page.

Let's plug in and power up a synthy fizzfest and Moogaphonic medley of stars including;

Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, Thomas Dolby, and ummm Howard Jones!
All riffing on each other's hits (you scratch my track and I'll scratch your's).




kraftwerk's Tuetonic squeaks, bleeps and beats are perfect for practicing your robot moves, like - the floppy forearm, folding the newspaper under the armpit, checking the wristwatch with a 'no,no,no' finger waggle.

Eins.Zwei.Drei.Vier. Let's robot rock!



The Joy Division remix is here....

And the Tronik Youth, Myspace site has all the details of live dates, remixes and the new single release.

How did I manage to get hold of this new wave nugget? - Well it does help if your brother is an international DJ and superstar remixer.

Excellent stuff Mondo.

Hats off to Tronik Youth for a fab remix. Respectful to the original but not afraid to add his own twist. Very good indeed.
