a tiny bit of backfilling coming up now, as i missed out on posting a couple of good things during my idle time once again. first off is 'running out' by mimó who is probably someone semi-famous in disguise again but i am too exhausted to further investigate right now and we were hooked up with remixes by fenech-soler and vega anyway. i bet you know what to expect: disco-flavoured electro, twice. mimó - running out (fenech-soler remix) mimó - running out (vega italo dub mix) [...]
about a year ago , i first came across the sound of arrows and their great track 'danger!'. ever since, they followed up with the gorgeous 'm.a.g.i.c.' and just released their new twelve-inch 'into the clouds' on the always amazing neon gold . 'into the clouds' is yet another great example of their elevated pop songcraft but what really blew me away is the remix by fear of tigers who is easily on top of the whole 'dreamy club tracks' game right now - masterpiece! the sound of arrows - into [...]
just in time before i was heading to bed: here is a brandnew one hour-mixtape by everyone's favorites the twelves which aired yesterday on radio1's rob da bank featuring a ton of feelgood music, right on time for errr, fall season, also including some new remixes by the brazilian duo that i haven't heard before. the twelves - the twelfth hour mixtape (on megaupload.com) (more mirrors might come up tomorrow when i can be bothered.) eye industries will release the debut ep from the twelves [...]
i've been following michael cassette since their sudden skyrocket to fame in september '08. debuting with their 2 track EP 'shadows movement'/'fox and a shooting star' on anjunadeep , it didn't take long before they left a gaping crater in the still evolving progressive house/trance crossover scene with early support from major players like deadmau5 . michael cassette was born around a dinner table at an evening event in '06 - the name is a guise for erkka lempiäinen, matti heininen and an unnamed friend. the unnamed friend chooses to stay [...]
australian stadium synth-rocker astronauts midnight juggernauts are back with 'this new technology', the very first single of their upcoming second album. while staying true to their whole filmic 'journey through time and space' trademark atmosphere, this new track seems a lot more instantly catchy and driving than the material on the first album while the vocals are darker than ever, sounding like air got abducted by aliens and possessed by the devil. whether this description makes any sense or not, this has already got me supercurious for the new full-length now! midnight [...]
after endless months of leaving us stuck with remix surrogates, amazing discodust discovery the golden filter once again teamed up with our friends from dummy to give us our well-needed fix, their all-new and yet unheard single 'thunderbird'. everything we love about them is still there, they just updated the formula and made their sound even deeper, more organic, more playful and driving while maintaining the catchyness, the angelic vocals and the overall disco noir vibe known from their classic first single 'solid gold'. the golden filter - thunderbird [...]
it's purely human nature for people to want what they can't have; money, power, secrets, someone else's significant other. we've seen this tactic used a few times to generate a buzz around a new artist (ahem, fake blood ) which resulted in many djs and bloggers tearing their hair out because they weren't privy to this information. sure, it's a cute little marketing trick, but the real test is if the music stands on it's own long after the secret has dissipated. enter gucci vump. has been happening for quite some time and everyone from tiesto [...]
mansion is making me feel all nostalgic. this track feels like it should have come out in early may and have been the summer jam. when i'm listening to it in september, it should be bringing back crazy memories of beaches and road trips and days in the park. instead it just makes me remember that we haven't posted on these two in a while and it's about damn time. they're back and doing what they do best: updating some house music. and if i remember correctly, this was one of the first tracks that we [...]
up until now, i've only known noob to collaborate with the likes of progressive tastemakers like brodinski , popof and tiga . well, how kind of him to throw us an amazing curveball out of left field. he somehow got commissioned to remix a zero 7 track that comes at you like a fire truck ready to flatten you on the dancefloor. normally, you can hear the siren of a fire truck blocks away to give you fair warning to react. this track is a bit merciless and leaves you with nothing [...]
discodust favorite grum keeps making big moves, unleashing his new shining summery smash single 'heartbeats' while his previous tracks 'runaway' and 'sound reaction' still haven't left the bags of dj's out there. showing off that grum is a big fan of 'discovery'-era daft punk and the human league , 'heartbeats' is an uplifting joyous floorfiller or damn, more like a real banger in the best way possible or as the promo info puts it: "this is what mylo would have sounded like if he'd been raving to [...]
(note from aleks: welcome aboard our new writer leon, also known as fakebeat , who is easily the most enthusiastic french house connaisseur i have ever come across and a great addition to our ranks!) i don't think super mal needs much introduction here, but just to refresh your memory, this british duo has worked back and forth with the now erupting phonat on various releases in the past. from the folks who brought you 'bigger than big' and 'pixelated' comes a brand spankin' new single called 'blood & sun', out now on [...]
visitor (formerly known as cobra dukes ) have only landed a few weeks ago and already caused quite some stir around the blogs with their diamond cut produced track 'los feeling' and a lot of quality remixes to go with it. now they're unveiling another new track and this should be the final call for the music industry and label people observing this space (and abusing me as their free of charge a&r) to hit them up and get them a decent deal because you're just losing money every second [...]
even more remix goodness involving kid cudi just dropped over at the fool's gold blog and that seemed like a good opportunity for me to finally introduce some afrojack goodness on here, as he's dominating dj playlists like no one else right now. dubsided rockers nadastrom also got busy on the track, so i just had to feature these remixes on here as well. kid cudi featuring kanye west & common - make her say (afrojack remix) kid cudi featuring kanye west [...]
like we told you about a week ago, there's just nothing stopping greenmoney right now. they're playing fabric this friday, killing it in room 3 alongside uk key players such as mj cole , zed bias and seiji while skream , caspa and benga got room 1 locked down. check the full line-up over at the fabric homepage . in order to celebrate this, our friends at greenmoney and fabric hooked us up with two really special treats. first [...]
azari & iii is the lovechild of dinamo azari and alixander iii , both from canada and besides that unknown to me. however, they dropped a track into my myspace inbox a couple of weeks ago, unfortunately in a time where i didn't really give a fuck about this blog but damn, i have been playing this track on repeat nearly every day ever since i received it and while i am really bad at compiling charts, this would take the number one spot right now, hands down. 'reckless with your love' by [...]
without a lot of talk, here is a bunch of remixes in the 'urban' vibe (at least that's what i hear german club dj's dubbed it these days) i came across while doing the blog rounds today, ranging from electro house ( felix cartal and bird peterson ) to overly aggressive bangers ( hot pink delorean ) and mosh-pit dubstep ( evol intent , the drum & bass collective that brought us computer club and treasure fingers ). we stay in the club! n.o.r.e. featuring kid cudi - floating in the [...]
joe and will ask? are definitely discodust regulars by now and they just keep getting better and better while staying true to their techno-rooted sound. now they just dropped their first full original vocal track 'fabric of win', which turned out electro-house flavoured and catchy as hell with the wonderful voice of saint saviour (pictured above), reminiscent of fever ray when she was still fun to dance to. get a taste of the goodness with the radio edit of 'fabric of win' right here! joe and will ask? featuring saintsaviour - [...]
brooklyn-chicago collaborators flashmen follow up on their first bunch of demos (that we have posted back then ) with a reworked and polished single version of 'little wildkat' and two new remixes. first there is a seven-and-a-half minutes journey to 'disco dub' land by savile who got busy on 'flashmen theme' and then there's the actual stand-out track for me in this post, the remix competition-winning rework of 'as the night rolls on' by upcoming producer says simon who delivers smooth melodic french-style house by the book. check these out [...]
one of my personal favorites, italian music maestro phonat has already received a fair amount of love with his previous single 'learn to recycle' and while his new track 'set me free' has been on heavy rotation for a while for those who know their game, the real buzz is only getting started now. after radio1 residents jaymo & andy george dubbed it their 'favorite song of 2009 so far' and musical lawbreaker number one norman cook attested that 'this guy fucks with all the rules', mofohifi records obviously noticed [...]
kiss in cities is a boy-girl band from manchester consisting of laura marsden and joe cross who are also members of the band we are performance . while their other band reminds me of the killers , this new project sounds like totally over-the-top synth-laden power pop, so kitschy catchy that i can't help but think of eighties high school romances (did anyone see that coming, regarding the photo above?) - which is a really amazing thing in that little twisted world of mine, just to make this clear. the always reliable illegal tender [...]
