I'm a Sade-lover, so anyone producer who puts their flavour to her music is going to be under a bit of scrutiny. Many people would hate to think that anyone is even attempting to bring her sultry croons into the 21st century, but I honestly must have struck it lucky so far - either that, or perhaps the people who are re-working her tracks actually give a damn! This is one fine example. Vin Sol & Charles McCloud have plunged the soul queen into some deep house waters. Great stuff. DOWNLOAD | [...]

Grab this future garage remix of The Weeknd 's "What You Need". Playing on the already cold nature of the track, Vin Sol & Charles McCloud have produced a deep re-stepping that stays close to the original.

Deuces - Chris Brown (5kinAndBone5 & Vin Sol Remix) ...
It seems like all of the internet is going nuts for The Weeknd's new House of Balloons mixtape, and rightfully so. It was only a matter of time before we started seeing a bunch of remixes drop, but never did I think one would be as slick as this. While I don't know too much about Vin Sol or Charles McCloud, what I do know is that they took "What You Need" to a brand new level of dopeness. Employing a sound that is rather similar to that of Burial (never a bad thing), [...]

The Pacific ocean has always been a symbol of promise and optimism. Its significance has manifested itself as inspiration to various works of art and its sentiment produces the foundation of what is to us 'the American Dream'. Above is a snap of the Pacific I took with my film camera at Big Sur. Currently the ocean is undergoing a great amount of stress and running rampant due to the massive earthquake in Japan. Hopefully everything will settle soon and the iconic image of the Pacific will again be restored. Bjorn Synneby and Daniel Hogberg are obvious subscribers to this [...]

What is Love. Good fucking question. New York's Deee-Lite first raised this question in the 902s, and now the topic has been sampled to make this weird disco tech flavoured track by Vin Sol and Charles McCloud of San Francisco. Similar to the original, it's got a great primal feel, with tight percussion featuring some minimal, industrial sounding parts. Fat bass too. Download the track via Vin Sol's Soundloud player. Also, check out Joking Victim (Vin Sol's TROCODERO REMIX) - Jokers of the Scene [...]

Image: eiknarf I've been meaning to make an edit of Dee Lite's 'Groove Is In the Heart' vs. the originally sampled Vernon Burch's 'Get Up' for a while now but, I've been beaten to the post with this tidy house re-edit of just Vernon's track, far surpassing what I had in mind.

New Jokers of the Scene came out yesterday on Fools Gold . These guys just keep evolving and creating new sounds.

If there's one thing Americans love, it's 1st Century Roman-style orgies. It's that unique mixture of old world hygiene, sex slaves and exotic STDs that you just can't find at your typical contemporary "sugar party." No one understands this better than bicoastal production team Caligula , made up of sometime San Franciscan Vin Sol and weirdo production duo Skin & Bones . Their debut single "The Countdown" dropped on iTunes at the end of '09, and is now available all over the innertron. Buy here. Here's [...]
