You might remember us posting up a dirty Jack Penate remix a while back? TLGB aka The Living Graham Bond is a London based electro/techno producer and DJ with Kissy Sell Out championing his stuff from the start.

Having recently signed to fidget label Venga Digital there’s definitely lots more in store for him in 2009 and we’re behind him all the way.

Now his two high profile remixes are available for your listening pleasure.

TLGB is also launching our new In The Spotlight feature and he’s revealed to The Mahogany Blog the tracks that have influenced him throughout the years.

Here they are!

Michael Jackson -- Rock With You

It’s very trendy to list MJ at the moment, but it’s more Quincy Jones I want to big up with this track. It’s flawless pop production; disco claps, string stabs, outrageously camp synth solos and then just when you think you’ve had it all there’s a final chorus key change! The whole album is incredible with it’s smooth disco-latin-perc-pop vibe, I never get tired of it.

Lyle Lovett -- If I Had A Boat

I’ll be honest, I don’t really know what he’s talking about nor do I want to, it’s just a lovely song. It is also my dream to have a boar and a pony.

Notorious B.I.G. -- Mo’ Money, Mo’ Problems

Four minutes of pure flashy hip-hop. Unpretentiously pretentious?

It took me a while to pluck up the courage to do a remix of this because I like it so much, but I think I did exactly what I wanted! Sometimes remixing isn’t about radical ideas, just representation.

Jungle Brothers -- How Ya Want It We Got It (Native Tongues Remix)

From the album Raw Delux, highly underrated and the last true JBs album. The Native Tongues are brilliant and led me to people like Ugly Duckling and People Under The Stairs who are equally innovative

Betty Harris -- Break In The Road

I don’t know what the drummer was on when he played this but by-jingo it’s a belter. Rough, raw and full of spunk.

Paul Simon -- Graceland

This song and album was the soundtrack to almost every Sunday trip to some sort of archaeological dig/historial reenactment with my parents. I love the organic fusion of cultures, the clever lyrics and most of all the recording style. There are so many lovely echoes, gated reverbs and spacial effects. The percussion really leaps out of the speakers at times and I remember being in a world of my own when I listened to this album whilst sucking on a barley sugar in the backseat.

Calvin Harris -- I’m Not Alone (Burns Rework)

My favourite track this summer so far. You have to give it to Mr. Harris, he nails it every time and Burns just punctuates it’s best points.

Funky Porcini -- Dubble

There’s something curiously entertaining about samples of English speech from films in electronic music, I sampled Dirk Bogarde recently.
