There are two hot messes that I know about. The first is a monthly dance party hosted by my good buddy Leigh Feldman. It is one of the most redic. bar nights around not so sleepy Portland Oregon and sports my favorite myspace profile of all time. (Feel free to throw me up in that top 37, not that anyone checks myspace anymore.)
The second is a Club / Dub / Electro, Steez and Skeez group out of Columbus Ohio. I had never heard of them until some songs fluttered into my inbox. I love shit with lots of adjectives and a slightly gangster feel.

An avid reader may have noticed the new Fake Blood remix of Hot Chip is listed in the tracklisting for the NYE Jack Beats mix. For some this is not terribly exciting, one more remix of dependable indy pop by dependable blog house. For others this is the high point of the week as there are certain names you search for over and over again, waiting for a new remix to come out. Some of the hottest artists in the world have only released five mp3’s but get blogged about constantly and feverishly.
Hot Chip- Touch Too Much (Fake Blood Remix)
Fake Blood is one of these names. And like most of the prolific producers and DJ’s there are a lot of other names involved. Theo Keating in the man behind the music but you may remember him from his slight commercial success as one half of The Wiseguys an eclectic British hiphop duo that released two songs as commercials for Mitsubishi and Budweiser. Quickly forgotten but worth listening to, especially for any Fatboy Slim/Big Beat fans still left.
The Wiseguys- Start the Commotion
The Wiseguys- Ohh La La
A few years later and Touché might catch your eye as his DJ name, most famous in the new electro-blog stratosphere for the remix of Kissy Sell Out’s “Her”.
