So in my last post it was Pride weekend here in Toronto. A weekend of, to quote Pirupa, "party non-stop".  It also coincides with the annual dispersal of NPAP(No Pots and Pans), an annual collection of a hundred or so of the years best dancefloor ready tunes and remixes and a few hour long sets from some local and sometimes International DJs put together by my friend Charles and disseminated to the masses via flash drives to the couple hundred of us lucky enough to get our hands on one....before passing it on to others to keep on "playing it forward".  I thought thats in this post I would give NPAP a shout out and drop my favourite off of this years collection.  It has quite literally been on repeat on my iPod since I heard it. 

Crazy P have had a few different incarnations and I remember coming across them for the first time about 13 years ago on a John Acquaviva mix when they still went by Crazy Penis....its a bit of an attention grabber. This is pretty far removed from that sound... having said that, I havent heard the original.. but well.. just enjoy it. Its a good'un.

Crazy P - Beatbox (PBR Streetgang Remix)

And secondly, one of the best tracks of the entire weekend... after the Frankie Knuckles one from the last post of course.  Dj Jamal dropped this lil beauty which actually wound up being officially the last track of Pride weekend as he wrapped up Gay Day (or Canada Day to some) at CZ on the Monday following Pride.  It took a little while for it to sink in what we were actually listening to.  You know those times your there singing along to a track and you have no idea what it is.... or why you know the words... but for some reason you do.  It takes a lot of balls to do a remix or a cover or any kind of rendition on a Beatles track.  When you've got a catalogue like they do of popular music that is engrained in the conscience of pretty much everyone from just about everyone spanning 50 years, its kind of hard to better it. I won't say this betters the original.... but it is easily the best dancefloor interpretation of any Beatles work I've ever heard.
