Underground SoundsA pinch of nu-disco and a handful of bouncing bass. Recipe for success. download: James Curd - Decadance (Richard Richard Remix) download: Azari & III - Into The Night (Softwar Remix) I'm not really sure how to explain this track, but I can say from first hand experience that it's a dancefloor monster. At the right hour of the AM this one does unmeasurable amounts of
Say what you will about diplo these days, but after listening to this mix you're not going to be able to deny that he's an impressively versatile dj when he want's to be. This episode of the now defunct Mad Decent World Wide Radio titled "Diplo's Chasing The Magic Dragon Mix" is one of my favorite but more random mixes in my collection. More or less it's exactly what the title says it is. An
Pardon the interruption of service, but we hooligans are still undergoing the slow process of recovering from a healthy serving of Miami Music Week. Your regularly scheduled programming will resume... now. Richie Hawtin's Berlin-based label Minus just released this one a couple of days ago from Dubliner Matador. Spooky atmosphere and thudding kicks take this brooding techno track to Planet
Augustus and I present these dance tunes to you from our hotel balcony. Miami is awful fun this time of year! Federico Franchi - Cream (Original Mix 2007) The Hacker - Shockwave (Gesaffelstein Remix) SIR REAL & AGUSTUS
I'm feeling the deepness even more than usual tonight, partially because I'm done with the week long torture marathon known as "final exams," but also it seems appropriate since we'll be bombarding you with plenty of mentally deranged Ultra-worthy bangers in the coming days (along with our guide for everything you need to know from Thursday to Sunday in Miami + where and when to see everyone
In less than four days, the whole Bright & Shiny crew will be descending up the Miami beach area. Understandably that's pretty much all I can think about day and night even though it's probably costing me dearly during my final exams right now. What better way to start things off than on the Miami note with Djedjotronic's 80's inflected techno jam "Miamite" off of BNR's Miami Noize 2012
What better way to start off the weekend than in the deep end? First up we have this absolute bomb of a track from Maceo Plex's own Ellum Audio "Sleazy Riders Collection" that comes out just in time for Miami. Head over to Beatport to scope the full compilation, the other efforts are definitely worth checking out, my two picks in particular being the Lukatron and Sync Mode trax. If you're in
Just press play and wait for 45 seconds in. Disclosure must be some kind of demi-gods...

First up we have socal based duo No Body releasing this free bootleg yesterday and as we've come to
CHICAGO, IL -- This Friday, March 16th, the Bromance Tour will hit The Mid. Performing will be head of Bromance Records, Brodinski, young-gun and techno lunatic, Gesaffelstein, with strong support from the always-lovely Treasure Fingers. I had the pleasure of seeing Brodinski spin unannounced at a small, impromptu Ed Banger party last March in Miami, and I'm here to tell you that this man is a
High energy post to get y'alls Tuesday night started riiight. Boston Bun goes in on this remix for Maelstrom's new EP on French label Sound Pellegrino. The laziness of the synths contrasted with the track's persistent high-end make for a feeling something like futuristic sushi. Check out the rest of the release on beatport 'cause it's damn near bulletproof. Bright & Shiny favorites include the
Coni is my newest obsession right now.. dude is all kinds of heat. Ever since his bomb House Music remix, I've been grabbing everything I can by him. Somewhere between late night progressive house and straight up deepness, this one is amazing too. And far too short at just under 5 minutes. download: Hakan Ludvigson, Coni - Goodbye feat. Coni (Original Mix) Off the wall, Caribbean tribalist
So, if you've been paying attention lately you've probably noticed we've been getting more and more enchanted around here with the funky bass and r&b inspired grooves of contemporary UK garage. So in sticking with that theme, this sunday's mix comes from one of our absolute favorite acts pioneering that sound right now, the UK duo Disclosure. This mix is from the Data Transmission Podcast, which
R&B vocal samples are basically the new thing. It's the rebirth of the 90's (praise the lord). UK bass music and garage has really pushed itself to the forefront of electronic music productions and the following artists/tracks have become staples in my DJ sets. Instead of giving you a ton of words, I'll let the fantastic percussion production and vocal sampling speak for itself. Hopefully
Boys Noize Records recently uploaded their third installment of the infamous Miami Noize compilation to soundcloud, and boy does it bang. Really, it's got everything you could expect from an imprint captained by one as equally innovative and maniacal as Alex Ridha, featuring new tunes from the likes of Djedjotronic, SCNTST, Shadow Dancer, and many more. Two standout in particular for me,
Honestly there's such a vast array of music I'm about to throw at you right now that A. it's borderline absurd and B. I'm having a hard time figuring out where to start. I suppose the best way to do it is to go from the slow/groove-filled and work our way up to the borderline demented stuff while stopping at all the various points in between. In other words, if you don't want to wade through the
Kudos to PK for the reference on this amazing rework of the most classic house track of all time.. download: Kevin Saunderson ft. Inner City - Big Fun (Simian Mobile Disco Remix) Ken Loi's recent self-titled Ken Loi EP is pretty big. Actually, that's an understatement - it's absolutely gigantic. Each one of the tracks is somewhere between big room progressive house and off-the-walls electro,
Two weeks in a row we're here with a Radio 1 essential mix, but hey, this is just too good to pass up. Scuba threw this together on Saturday and it is one of the most well-rounded mixes I have ever heard; it goes in about every direction imaginable, albeit with a consistently DEEP edge. I've just recently discovered this guy Paul Rose, but after listening to this I have a feeling he will be hot
House music? House music. download: Maelstrom - House Music (Boston Bun Remix) Visa our friends over at Upside Sounds Off the new Grimes album, which is absolutely mesmerizing and you should buy it now (itunes), is this track Circumambient, which perfectly encapsulate the hypnotic garage pop of Canada's newest indie star. For the impatient, skip to 30 seconds in. download: Grimes -
New Disclosure has me again scratching my head at why this is only available on vinyl... This song is simply too damned good. Since you can't take that one, here's some Disclosure you can take home with you. Definitely one of the most exciting young acts coming out of the UK right now. download: Crystal Fighters - At Home (Disclosure Mix) Rediscovered this chillwave classic the other
