kitsilano hippie daze = bargin basement breaks?

Turns out it was Hippie Days on 4th street today. Yep, the one day of the year where Kits residents disregard neighborhood gentrification and let their freak flag fly by... uhhh... having sidewalk sales, painting faces, and playing Rolling Stones songs over the store's PA systems. Or something.

Yeah, yeah, I'm being needlessly harsh.

Anyways, I ended up running some errands on 4th and hopped into Zulu Records. In the spirit of the event they were liquidating heaps of their used stuff for cheap. A lot of people were, naturally, digging through crates of vinyl... I lucked out and found a small mountain of late 90's CD singles. About 3/4 of the box was crap (e.g. Eurohouse remixes of U2 tunes, Shaggy, etc)... but the remaining stack was this cornucopia of late 90's beat-beat meets French house meets the kinda stuff that Mixmag and the like were insisting that OMGZ you must go listen to on a beach in Ibiza immediately. For less than 5 bucks I got a bunch of out of print stuff, that I haven't heard in years. Of the haul, here's my favorite track:

Cassius - Feeling For You (Les Rythmes Digital Remix) [mp3]

For those of you who used to actually get my real cassette-based, authentically dj mixed mixtapes in the latter half of university, you might remember I played the hell out of this version of this track. I thought it was lost forever, apparently not.

Well played, hippies, well played.
