Houston's Wild Wrangler Returns

Hey guys...

Sorry I haven't been consistent this week. Things have just gotten busy outside of the blogosphere and I've been a little lax w/the blog as a result. Anyway, I've got a quick post for you tonight, form DJ/producer extraordinaire Dave Wrangler!

Dave Wrangler will dabble in any and all genres and his style of performance and production reflect his chaotic focus. He blends elements of hip-hop, electronica, indie, rock and dance into a seamless mix of high-energy madness! Ok, so that just described like every DJ right now...but as one of the busiest and most versatile DJ's in Houston, he is becoming one of the most acclaimed new producers/remixers in the bloghouse (thanks for the description HR!). Dave's tracks, remixes and sets have been featured with the likes of underground and mainstream powerhouses: Soulwax, Diplo, Justice, Peaches, Portishead, MIA and Santogold just about everywhere.

You'll see why below with his Remixes of Ghostland Observatory that have been making the rounds for the last day or so.

The Wrangler Is Back!

This time Mr. Wrangler has decided to tackle the Beasties and Kanye West/Twista. Two different tracks two different approaches. If the Beastie Boys track would have been released in 98 it would have had Big Beat Anthem stamped all over it...a post-classic if there ever was one. Meanwhile, the Kanye/Twista track pumps up the energy level like 100 times and lets Underworld run all over the thing. It's yet another post 90's anthem.

Wrangler Wrangles Back

Dave Wrangler will dabble in any and all genres and his style of performance and production reflect his chaotic focus. He blends elements of hip-hop, electronica, indie, rock and dance into a seamless mix of high-energy madness! Ok, so that just described like every DJ right now...but as one of the busiest and most versatile DJ's in Houston, he is becoming one of the most acclaimed new producers/remixers in the bloghouse (thanks for the description HR!).

Dave's tracks, remixes and sets have been featured with the likes of underground and mainstream powerhouses: Soulwax, Diplo, Justice, Peaches, Portishead, MIA and Santogold just about everywhere. He's also been nominated as one of H-town's Best DJ's for 2009.

This time around he takes on Herbie Hancock's electro classic, "Rockit," gives it some funk and throws Dimples on top of it seamlessly making it into a long lost hip hop tune unearthed from a time capsule a hundred years in the future. If that wasn't enough, Wrangler brings the Queens of the Stone Age into Bun B's house and rocks the fuck out of it in a late 90's stylee that will have you reaching for your JNCO's.

Wrangle It Up...

Short and sweet post tonight as I just got home from work...

New stuff from Mr. Dave Wrangler that's a preview of his upcoming album. In his own words..."I've got a new remix album coming out as soon as the artwork and track-listing are finalized! This album has been in the works for several months- a portion of the tracks you may have heard at some point over the past few months while others are as fresh as can be. Some of the original remixes and mashups on the CD include artists such as Major Lazer, Notorious B.I.G., Crystal Waters, Ratatat, Kid Cudi and Kanye West. "

I've posted so many Wrangler tracks, I've lost count. But as always, he destroys it.

Dave Wrangler Wrangles A Few More...

The busiest man in Texas, Dave Wrangler, continues our Day of Dave's here at the POP Stereo with a host of new tracks that he's been working on lately.

The guy is like an assembly line of tuneage and probably never finds time to sleep or eat because if he's not working on music, he's out somewhere DJing either in Houston (his home) or some other city/state/country. The man's schedule is the definition of redonkulous.

Clearly possessing the eternal groove, he manages to balance it all with ease and you can hear that in most of his work. He uses sound palettes from all musical disciplines to create his internationally-acclaimed remixes and it's pretty amazing what he comes up with.

As if to prove a point, in the time it takes you to download the tunes below, my guess is that Dave will already have completed a new track because that's just how efficient this guy is.
