Via Toronto, Canada, the province of mashup central has been discovered. Its captain is Alexandre Vieira (aka Allie V ), and its crew consists of shipmates Mansion, Classic Jacks and BETA. As these are all nightclubs and not exactly names you would give shipmates, Allie V tried ‘n’ tested sounds have already graced these establishments with purpose and effect. Bringing you four of his roughest cuts, this is Allie V giving us his precise best. Allie V’s Electrik Kingdom Podcasts are also available through his [...]
We last checked in with Italian house producer Federico Scavo with the release of his fantastic remix of Matty Menck & Social Phunk 's " Are You Ready For Love " back in early November. This time around we're looking at a sexually-charged original "Freaks" from Scavo with the help of fellow countryman NDKj. It's not like we're searching for excuses to think about the upcoming Miami season, but this just checks all of the boxes for a bonafide warm weather-ready tech house tune. Scavo and NDKj's tune is out now on Alex Kenji , Manuel [...]
It always brings a smile to my face and volume to my monitors when I see a new Hotfingers release. The easily recognizable album artwork of the label founded by none other than Manuel De La Mare , Alex Kenji and Luigi Rocca was immediately destined for success. Starting off the year with a delightful house original called Everybody from Mike Newman , Hotfingers snaps out another banging release from Blackwhited (pictured) & M4X appropriately titled Bring The Bass . Beginning with a punchy drum [...]

Erick Morillo and Harry Romero - two thirds of Sympho Nympho - are welcoming Alex Kenji into the mix for Subliminal's next energy-packed production. "Flamenco" builds with a cultural combination of mystical latin strings and a soulful Spanish vocal, which drops into firing synths, relentless snare, and an intricate bassline. Between outdoorsy Miami vibes and late night club appeal, the latest offering from Morillo's squad delivers the dance chaos we've come to expect. Kenji's contribution only diversifies "Flamenco," making for a unique Subliminal release available on Beatport. Purchase: Beatport [...]
Party squad Toolroom Knights is coming in hot with an expansive new compilation mixed by Forza - the Italian trio known individually as Alex Kenji , Manuel de la Mare , and Luigi Rocca. The massive compilation racks up the count to 43 tracks across three different albums and gives us an excellent review of a range of tech and acid house cuts from the last year. If that wasn't enough, Forza also treats us to five new exclusives from each of the three producers, respectively. Other major additions to the compilation include Prok & [...]

Manuel De Le Mare, owner of imprints 303Lovers and Hotfingers with Alex Kenji and Luigi Rocca, is one of our favorites. For good reason too, guy delivers money-shot and after money shot—read stellar new music and remixes… get your mind out of the gutter people. Or maybe it's not and ours just is. For reals, though, this guy needs to be on your radar if he isn't already. From jacking to deep, Manuel's sound bounces between house and techno, and he does it while treading the line between commercial and credible underground. Not something that's [...]
A distinctly island sound defines the new Leon Bolier and Alex Kenji track, "Trumpets." The relaxed vibe is underpinned by a soulful clap beat, a deep guitar bassline and, of course, the lively trumpet overtone. The mid-track breakdown is truly reminiscent of summer beach parties, so much so, that we can almost taste the piña coladas. This latest release isn't exactly typical of either producer. Last we heard from Alex Kenji was the ultra-funky collaboration with Richard Dinsdale - " Stars in the Sky ." Meanwhile, Leon Bolier showed us his progressive chops in his " [...]

House, tech house, and sometimes even acid house producer and Hotfingers label head Alex Kenji is out with a new video for his "Stars In The Sky" single with Richard Dinsdale, out on November 26th. In a similar vein to mega-hit " Pressure ," the track uses a powerful female vocal (this time from Californian Kandace Ferrel) to complement a frenetic electro build and a super funky break. Watch the music video and feel great about the fall of bullies everywhere. You just finished reading Watch This: Kid conquers bullies with [...]

CHHEEEEEEERSSSSS . Firebeatz's name is literally too true, because that is all they come out with. This new remix is brand new and the drop is too hot. A couple pints deep but this is still a yem and a half. Are you ready for a good time? A couple other firebeatz gems. Tweet Facebook LinkedIn [...]
Notorious for reverberating bulges and always echoing rising-swells - the pounding notions and one-finger swaying basslines from Team Imanos , Faustix and Jack Sword project nothing but dancefloor delight and soaked-to-the-skin ecstasy. Prozac diehards, look away now... Tune In Tokyo vs. Nadia Ali, Starkillers & Alex Kenji vs. R3hab - Ray Of Pressure Bottle Song (Imanos & Jack Sword Bootleg) Ellie Goulding vs. John Dahlback - Lights Embrace Me (Imanos Mash-Up) Bingo Players vs. Gregori Klosman - Cry (Just [...]

The inaugural event debuts with a breakthrough roster of both established and up-and-coming electronic acts, set to make thousands of beat-hungry fans bounce through Soho Studios [...]
NERVO's huge rising success has been without a doubt one of the fastest and most impressive in the industry, giving the female producers immense exposure. Their track You're Gonna Love has been one of my favorite tracks of 2012 and now it just gets even better. Three crazy remixes from three top notch artists. All big room and all manufactured seemingly for festivals, I can't wait to see which one NERVO will choose to play when I see them this weekend. I love what Alex Kenji did with it, leaving the original feel and making more of [...]

The Great Wolfgang Gartner has his next single Redline ready for release. It was originally slated for release this month but appears to now be coming out in May on Ultra Records. He's also confirmed that there will be a continuous stream of singles coming out this year at the rate of once a month as opposed to a follow up to Weekend In America . Below I've got a HQ rip from Henry John Morgan's Podcast. Wolfgang Gartner Vitamin [...]
Today, "Lick It," the next single from Kasakde's 'Fire & Ice' album has been re-released with 3 tasty remixes from Datsik, Norman Doray, and Alex Kenji. I see this track as being quite a challenge for producers to remix, without drifting too far away from the original or sticking way to close to it. Finding that balance is certainly a battle, and these remixes are what was left from the bloodshed. Datsik remix is a little bit of a weak dubstep rendition, Alex Kenji makes the track a little more clubby but for the most part sticks very close to [...]
