House of God! Isn't it lovely when artists begin experimentally and something solid comes to fruition? Strap that description onto The Subs , who started out as a test to see how far they can push trance music; and how far they can get with it - far indeed. As I listen to these tracks, I can immediately identify the trance elements but there is something that The Subs do distinctively; maybe it's the house elements they blatantly force upon trance elements... I don't know. All I know is that it's delicious. The [...]
The weekend is upon us, folks. Let's hope this substance-heavy techno tune starts your weekend off proper. There are many things to ponder these next few days leading up to Christmas. Ponder in a sense of such a consumer holiday always finds a way of guilting us into spending more, more, more; "If you're not spending a lot, you'll be frowned upon." Get out there and volunteer - the time spent helping those in need is much more valuable than the time you spend shopping at the mall. [...]
Together we can put this underrated prospect on the map. I'm talking about Mikix the Cat , a Parisian producer known for his heavy bass productions. Seriously, with the proper sound system, Girls will get you charged for disturbing the peace (the percussive beats will enthrall!). In addition to his signature bass is his mighty-fine resume; Mikix the Cat has released numbers on Sound Pellegrino, Fabric and Institubes. Despite relasing on electro-heavy labels, the guy is still fairly unknown with a mere 4,300 listeners. But if party music keeps progressing the way it is now, [...]
Beam me up, beam me up, beam me up, beam me uptown. Beam me down, beam me down, beam me down, beam me back downtown. What you're about to download has been on heavy rotation. It's once in a disco-lifetime that numbers like this arise. Play this number in 1970, play it in 1980, play it in 1990, play it in 2000, play it in 2010; Jacques Renault's remix of Beam Me Up will forever resonate. Who exactly is Midnight Magic ? According to information I've gathered, they are a new [...]
As if Way Back Home couldn't sound anymore galactic... Universe comes along and adds even more galactic herbs allover Bag Raiderss Way Back Home . The echo behind the vocals accompanied with the space synthesizers makes me thirsty; due to all the potential dancing I will do in the future with this tune. Galactic disco at its finest. Universe, I don't know who or what you are... or where you're from, but I like your remixes. More please. Oh, I just downloaded two of Bag Raiders' new [...]
...put away your Glee CD and listen to electro. WDPK has done a proper electro scour of iTunes' Recently Added playlist and found these goodies to share with you. First is Lone's Pineapple Crush . At first listen, you'll be all like "dub step?!" but hear me out for a second. It has 90s house flare accompanied with 2000s glitches and in the background you can hear Rob Base's It Takes Two . If that isn't a recipe for [...]
Howdy! I've been uploading a lot of oldies but goodies; nothing new has been sparking my interest. If you've already heard this number, we can both agree on how ridiculously emotion-inducing it is. If you have not, let me paint the picture for you. I heard What Else Is There (Trentemoller remix) for the first time WAY before I began blogging (way before I even began downloading music religiously off the Internets). The tune came off of one of those House music cd compilations by no specific DJ - something like, House Music [...]
Let it snow, hoe! Carole King - Out in the Cold
When was the last time I posted a disco juggernaut for you? I am really peeved. For some preposterous reason, my blog server is no longer allowing me to post Soundcloud's embed mp3 player; any embed mp3 player at all. Or maybe I'm just ignorant when it comes to HTML (in reference to Yahoo's media player as well as Google's media player). Whatever it is, bare with me and then bear with me as I figure out a solution. In the mean time, stand up , sit down... Meaning, right click and [...]
Have you heard of Robert Armani ? If not, you better call the ambalants ! I definitely called the ambalants because just two days ago, I discovered that the 4 to the floor techno sound is inspired by Armani's work. Despite releasing numbers in the 90s, Armani's techno influence - gradual sonic development and fine base thuds - continues to inspire techno artists today. In short, consider Armani one of the entrepreneurs of Detroit techno. Ambulance is [...]
"The best remix package we've ever done." - Tiga It seems like the words best ever have been tightly associated with Toronto duo, Azari & III . Turbo Recordings, in collaboration with Scion (the car makers) release Azari & III's Into the Night remix ep. And holy moly is the ep studded with electro stars. We've got Montreal's CFCF , Prince Language, Nicolas Jaar and most importantly... Renaissance Man . My curiousness of Daft Punk [...]
Midnight Juggernauts' Crystal Axis is upon us; is it euphoria-worthy or is it as unpleasant as George Orwell's dystopia? In a way, no... It's not as unpleasant as George Orwell's interpretation of a dystopia. Although it's not euphoric either; it's somewhere in between. The Australian pop trio, who I feel is criminally underrated, produce a whomping 20+ tracks, as well as videos, for their special edition of Crystal Axis - that is double most long playing records. But of the 20+ tracks, only a select number are awesome while the [...]
All I want for Christmas is Azari & III's long playing record. Azari & Horses - Manhooker (Instrumental)
If I told you that Turbo 093 is the best Turbo release to date, would you believe me? Regardless of whether or not you believe the above argument, your interest sparks like two innocent lovers kissing for the first time. Gesaffelstein , whom I've never heard of until news of Turbo 093 hit my inbox, is the man; he transcends a history of techno and house in five tracks. From the basslines of Variations to the subtle beat drop in Atmosphere to the methodical electro riffs of [...]
Chromatics are back... sort of. This news may be old to some but to some it may be new. Chromatics are releasing reworked versions of old favourites like In The City, Lady and Dark Day . If I'm not mistaken, there are a select number of new pieces like Dagger Moon . If I'm wrong, and it isn't new, well I have yet to hear it. Chromatics' brand of lo-fi dark disco pop is as vibrant as ever. In Dagger Moon , lead vocalist Ruth Radelet [...]
I've wanted this track as bad as this kid wanted Nintendo 64 . Renaissance Man impresses once again. I don't know about you, gang, but I'm not even close to growing tired of electro artists' interpretations of the motherland. Zombie Nation and Tiga have done it. Renaissance Man absolutely nail it. Now who's next? But let's talk about Afreaka's foundation - is Renaissance Man near the legal level of bass? Play this number at a live venue and it will paralyze... Grime house at its [...]
M'Black ? He's a UK record producer, songwriter and audio engineer that has struck gold in terms of music accomplishments: music in The Matrix , selling millions in albums and digital downloads, having his music and blogs featured on television programs, and cracking top ten charts around the world. So why haven't I heard of him? Diamond Cut ? I don't know much about him as my main music source lacks a proper description. His myspace, on the other hand, implies that he is a fan of The Breakfast Club . I am too. [...]
Don't you ever want to get stupid? Not in the sense of lacking keenness of mind but rather numb, a state of stupor... of electro music! 6 November 2010 , Sound Academy, 11 Polson Street, 10PM to 4AM. The price of admission? $25. That's not too shabby for a night with Crookers , L-vis 1990 , AC Slater , and Rynecologist . In addition to those electro acts is a plethora of dubstep artists. Check Facebook for more details. So be there or be rhombus.
If you haven't heard of Lykke Li, you're probably part of the percentage of people that doesn't have Internet or television; your friends and family probably don't have Internet or television either. Lykke Li is a huge draw. Her last.fm account states that she has 470,000 listeners and that, from what I can deduce, is a result of two things: (1) her true blue blog lovers that helped her rise to super-stardom or (2) the hip hop/r&b lovers that heard of her through... Drake (credit must be given where it's due, [...]
Hey! Before I drop any newness on you righteous kids, let me get this breathtaking old school number out of my system. I've wanted to upload it for two weeks now but I haven't found the right time to sit down and just - blog. On the agenda: (1) new Lykke Li , (2) new Digitalism , (3) and a whole lot of other stuff. Stay tuned. Roy Davis Jr. feat Peven Everett - Gabriel (live garage version)
