A la suite du premier chapitre de la compilation Hatched du label Dirtybird sortit il y a une quinzaine de jours maintenant, voici la seconde partie ou l'on retrouve une fois encore un concentré de morceaux tech house et de bass music. Composé "seulement "de quatre titres, la Hatched Part 2 ne déçoit quant à son contenu avec la présence de Christian Martin sur Waiting , mais aussi le très attendu Booty Clap du belge Kill Frenzy dont les empreintes Juke ne laisse personne indifférent. Enfin le [...]
Holy Ship and Vacay development have dampered the vitamin output of late. I apologize for the near death experience some of you may have suffered due to the shortage. Come early February, I'm certain you will be filled with joy and approve of my neglect to fill your prescription. Let's indulge in a pair of Miami Horror reworks that will surely lift your Vacay spirits until then. Miami Horror - Summersun (Cadillac Remix) Miami Horror - Holidays (Lenno & Jesse Oliver Remix) [...]
As I was growing up and starting to get into electronic music I was always accompanied and fascinated by the dirtybird team who've been pumping out their distinct take on bleeps and beats for at least seven years now. Now the big bass team have a new compilation coming out that will be taking us even further into their next wave of music. There will be 14 different artists delivering all manner of styles and new genres... take your pick from deep house, bass music, jackin funk, and ghetto filth. The series will be released [...]
Today's freebie comes to you courtesy of U-Tern and Grandtheft , a.k.a Canada's answers to Todd Terje and Danny Daze . For those of you that need a background on these two let me catch you up. Vancouver's U-Tern built his career on a long stream of infectious disco edits which led to remixes for Aeroplane , Juan Atkins , Chromeo and Mark Ronson and a reputation as one of the biggest analog studio nerds in North America. Montreal's Grandtheft came up through the party rocking circuit as [...]

I hope you all worked hard this week, so you can play harder this weekend... ☞ Thursday, electro master Calvin Harris hits hotspot LAVO, which is sure to bring out all the beautiful people of New York club life. ☞ [...]
Funky tech house pioneer Claude VonStroke is taking control of Good Units Saturday July 30, in celebration of the imminent release of his "Makeover" compilation. He's joined by labelmates Justin and Christian Martin , keeping the groove going on GU's Dynacord system, as well as John Dill (Found Love), who will be starting the night off. These three Dirtybird mainstays are personal favorites of hours, and it's therefore a huge treat to have them all together for one night of beat bliss. Dirtybird released its first record in Janaury 2005, but the idea began in [...]
Pelski: Hi Justin and Christian, firstly could you tell us a bit about
The Martin Brothers and how it differs from both of your solo aliases?
Christian : I approach my solo releases and Martin Brothers tracks the same way – I want to create music that's fun, hits hard in the club, and evolves from beginning to end. When I'm working with Justin, I think we've gotten that process almost down to a science – we can run through ideas and options at a pretty fast rate, getting from concept to [...]
After the huge success of the first two Pelski vs Jackmode at Crucifix Lane (formerly Counter Culture), they're back with an even bigger lineup, headed by none other than the The Martin Brothers (AKA Justin and Christian Martin). Held in a warehouse-esque venue under London Bridge, equipped with two formidable Funktion1 soundsystems, this one's set to go off. And the lineup's a showcase of some of the finest jackin' house and tech-house artists around, hailing from the biggest labels in the game: Dirtybird, Sound Pellegrino, Style Rockets and Made To Play .

Wax Motif - Shimmy Shake (Christian Martin Remix) Wax Motif 's 'Shimmy Shake' single, which we got the first glimpse of back in Neoteric's Deadfish podcast last year, has been remixed by Dirtybird Christian Martin and given out for free download. Martin's take on the original toggles between skittering percussion work and deep synthetic drones. The release, accompanied by a remix from Lazy Ants and the B side single "Bubbles," is set to drop on February 24th through Downright Records. You can preview the full EP on soundcloud now.

Sydney legend, Wax Motif, is about to release his new Ep to the masses! 'Shimmy Shake' is a house groover, and it features remixes from Dirty Bird Boss, Christian Martin and Lazy Ants. Make sure you eck it when it comes out on 24th Feb. I really dig the artwork on this one as well. Reminds me of a Bridget Reilly exhibition I went to once. EPIC! Shimmy Shake EP by Wax Motif Also, 'Bubbles' is an underated BANGER. [...]
House / Bass master, Julio Bashmore , in the last few days has released a great new EP for us to love. Here's what someone else had to say about it, "A flawless four track EP from Bristol's Julio Bashmore showing his love of booming sub bass stabs vocal hooks and timeless synth lines. Top notch productions that sit between two step and deep house this release confirms Julio as one of our artists to watch for the year." [...]

The Jackmode agency just posted this on their blog - freaking fantastic! Claude VonStroke & Christian Martin - Peanut Butter Jelly Time by Christian Martin
I often find myself backed into a corner, feebly attempting to explain to those who don't have firsthand experience what it's like being young in New York City. You can try to describe the energy, the people, the lifestyle, but the truth of the matter is it is in many ways incommunicable because it is something you feel in your very bones. Suffice to say, we simply function at a different caliber than the rest of the people in the world, mostly, and living here is therefore simultaneously the most rewarding and most trying thing that you will ever do. [...]
All the way from Japan, we give you a Mixin' It Up from the great DJ P.O.L Style who fires off a beast of a mix. "Originally from Glasgow, I've been living out in Tokyo for the last 7 years where I run Numbers Tokyo and a new monthly night called Laguna Bass with my friends. This year I took some time-out from producing, to concentrate more on mixing and developing my own style as a DJ - The P.O.L.Style....LOL!!! I'm looking forward to getting back on the grind as [...]
Released last June as the duo's 2nd single off their third album ( Business Casual ), Don't Turn the Lights On with its sleazy synths, cocky vocals and smooth electro-funk riffs is typical Chromeo that we all know and love. (Don't worry these funky Canadians haven't forgotten to sprinkle a bit of talk box back-vocals in there as well.) Chromeo - Don't Turn The Lights On (Right Click to Download) Dirtybird's Christian Martin (1/2 of The Martin Brothers) strips away the tune from all of its funkiness giving [...]
A1 Bassline - Girl Thing (Christian Martin remix) by Christian Martin ...
The first ever Jackmode vs. Pelski clubnight was held at Counter Culture in London on November 6th. Those of you who followed our mutterings and made their way to Crucifix Lane, could have duly described the event, as an opportune moment to celebrate a jacked collective of global house music. A cause that this blog has continued to pay tribute to over the course of it's duration. In hope of emanating a worthy sense of buzz factor, we conducted careful research to ensure the venue's blueprints were sufficiently grimey, and that an endless string of blog cleared mpfree's, [...]
Fellow bloggers Pelski are back this Saturday 6th Nov to bring you one killer party but, this time they've teamed up with agency-of-the-moment Jackmode to bring you a very special line-up.
