This Is Recordings are about to release a compilation entitled 'Retro', a collection of the Dutch labels finest releases to date. The BPM's are slower but the music doesn't go into the dreary world of ' slow-house-pals '. Twleve tracks. Quality, not quantity. A good reminder of how much this label has been quietly influencing things of late... You can check the entire thing over on their soundcloud but, these are my favourites if you were wondering.....

In collaboration with Dance.Here.Now we are giving one lucky person free entry and a plus one for this party, but there is a catch. To be considered simply like this post on Facebook as well [...]

One of the last major remix packages to come out before 2011 expired was this from DI-RECT and their ' Young Ones ' single. The alternative rock group licensed 'Young Ones' to an eclectic group of producers. Loopers & Dyro handled duties on, perhaps, the best remix of the entire package. They gave us a progressive, vintage-Swedish House Mafia vibe. Olav Basoski , a master of house, didn't give us the disco inspired production you might expect, but his version is funky and full of sound. Sander Kleinenberg's interpretation may have gotten switched with Basoski's, because he [...]

Shazam is a name hoards of people have become familiar with over the years, with his [...]

This week's On Repeat features tunes from all over the globe. Some of the songs are dark, some are sunny. Some will make you nod your head, and others will force a lil booty shimmy. It's a funny time here in LA because we're firmly entrenched in June Gloom, the time of year when summer is really here, and yet it somehow seems to be gloomy everyday. We know the hot, sunny days of summer are on their way, we just haven't quite reached them... Summer is like the girl on the crowded dancefloor that you keep catching eyes with, [...]

So to celebrate the June 14th release of 5K , Kleinenberg enlisted the support of the High5Collective to direct a video for the lead single "This Is Our Night".

Back in November I spotlighted a new video from Dutch producer Sander Kleinenberg called " Remember When ," and I still love this song all these months later. Whenever it pops up on my iPod I crank it up and add a little pep to my step. Now comes word that Kleinenberg is releasing an album, 5K , later this month and I can hardly wait. 5K [...]

Quality of tracks is also going to be a focus of mine and I plan to [...]

He's released more than a handful of compilations over the last decade, and while 5K finds him mostly going at it alone, the 39-year-old Dutchman is still tapping the likes of Ryan Starr, Miss Montreal, and Jamie Cullum to help him add vocals to the 11-track effort. Kleinenberg gets production assistance from Josh Gabriel of Gabriel & Desden on the set, and the Cullum-featuring lead single – "Remember [...]
