This is what great, mostly vinyl DJ sets sound like. Move D, Live @ Panorabar (01.22.12) Savile, Live @ SmartBar (01.20.12) Free Magic, Live @ Discovery (01.14.12)
I'm usually only a fair-weather M83 fan (" Outro ", " Lower Your Eyelids... "), but this cover of "Midnight City" by Emil of Emil & Friends is pretty enjoyable. You're probably well aware of the widely popular original version, but I hope you'll take a moment to enjoy Emil's take. Emil - Midnight City (M83 Cover)
There are a couple of reasons for this Metronomy post: 1. I've had their The English Riviera album on hella repeat. 2. I used to play this Mac 3000 remix all the time "back in the day" and it's still great. Metronomy - Radio Ladio (Mac 3000 Remix)
I'm officially on board with the notion that Sliink will be a hot hand in 2012. Check out his Jersey Club remix of Zebra Katz for validation and grab the free Ima Read EP with additional remixes by Slick Shoota, MikeQ & Amex and J-Wow on Soundcloud . Good look, Jefrees . Zebra Katz - Ima Read (Sliink Remix)
New business to be played tonight at Signal (feat. Pearson Sound). Bassmynt - Saturn ( Vlsonn Remix) Decibel - Pu$$ Major Lazer - Original Don ( Flosstradamus Remix)
Check this video that Jerome LOL Boys and Johnny Woods made for a tune off Classixx 's long anticipated full length (due sometime in 2012). "A Fax From The Beach" seems to be an all around good look.
I want to take this moment to thank I:Cube for making the perfect tune. Thank you. I:Cube - Jah Menta ( buy )
Arugeably one of the best producers of 2011 and having an even more promising 2012 is the UK's Boddika . He dropped this track for free and it's pretty tight. Boddika - Up and Dance
Compiling these "Best of" posts is the most strenuous thing about the "blog game". So basically, since I'm sick of looking at this, just reference our lists to get a general feel for how we vibed out 2011. Also, and I think I can speak for Markus on this one too, the ranking on a lot of our tracks is pretty loose. Thanks and best of luck to you all in 2012. Back Catalogue: The Best of 2010 The Best of 2010: [...]
The above video is brought to you by 3 really chill dudes: Skunch and Prince Club. It's an excellent song that's out now on Made to Play and I think I've played it at every gig over the past four months. It's just one of those tracks that manages to get a consistently great reaction from a number of different crowds. If you haven't got it yet then head over to Beatport and click buy. Also, check out this dance floor friendly re-edit of How to Dress Well's re-image of Marina & the Diamonds' "Radioactive" (one of the [...]
Before I rave about our January booking, I just want to take a moment to thank everyone who supported our first Signal event . I think I can vouch for everyone on the Signal crew when I say you all made our kickoff show a wonderful one. Having said that, there is no doubt in my mind that our follow-up guest will be just as spectacular. Pearson Sound. And that's all I'm going to say. Thursday, January 19 @ Smartbar: Pearson Sound DJ Warp Sparkletone [...]

I'm not even mad about that album art. Justice - On'n'On (Brodinski Remix) ( buy )
This isn't going to be a regular thing of whatever, but I just wanted to post a couple of tunes that have been submitted via Soundcloud over the past several months. Some of these are quite old but, in my defense, Soundcloud's UI is offensively terrible. Hopefully a chunk of that recently acquired $50 Million will go towards alleviating some of those elementary usability issues. Anyway, enjoy! Al Tourettes - Swan Sketch | Electronic Bueno Bros. - Presslau (Arizona Remix) | Electronic [...]
Art by Michael Cina for Ghostly International For our first post of the new year, I'd like to share a down and dirty track from Vlsonn ; a remix he did for Blue Neptune . I'm not sure when this remix officially comes out or when it was posted on Soundcloud (it says posted about a year ago, shared 10 days ago), but its legitimacy is 1000% certified. Check that free download below and take a listen to Vlsonn's Bizzies Mix Series contribution from early last year [...]
I had never heard of this " Impossible " track before but apparently, with over 38 million plays on YouTube, it's a big deal. Not to be swayed by mainstream figures, I'm casting my vote for Sliink 's rework as the better version. Let it soak. Thanks to Brookah for bringing this to my attention during my stay in Paris and I couldn't be more excited to hear Dubbel Dutch scroll it out at our Signal launch party tonight. Shontelle - Impossible (Sliink Remix) ( buy )
Shout out to Tim Dolla . ASAP Rocky - Peso (DJ Tim Dolla Remix)
"Never Sleeping", the debut from Troy Kurtz ( Gotta Dance Dirty , Overthrow ) and Panic Bomber 's new Kurtz & Bomber venture, is just as dejected as the title reads. The punchy analogue bass line and drone-like voiceover crawl along at a comfortable pace of 114 bpm and if the idea of never sleeping were to take the form of a production, this would be it. Of course, I mean this all in the best way possible because this is my kind of tune, I just hope I can remember it come next [...]
British producer Decibel has made great, great strides over the past 18 months. In that relatively short time he's picked up producing, had tracks played live on Radio 1 by the likes of Toddla T and Kissy Sell Out, landed on Martelo's FABRICLIVE Promo Mix and even claimed a spot in Lunice's Best of 2011 chart. Aside from the aforementioned recognition, he also holds residencies at Peter Hook's (Joy Division) FAC251 in Manchester and Digital in Newcastle. I'd say, "keep him on your [...]
