The podcast 52 is mixed and compiled by Jon Dasilva, the living legend and original resident of Faç51 Haçienda. Today, two decades later, he's also a successful producer on labels like Rush Hour. We grabed Jon for a few questions about the mixtape and his plans for 2012. HMWL: Tell us about the tracks and the thoughts you put into it, when compiling this mix. Is there a red thread? Jon: Well, they are not all like box fresh tunes, its not a radio show mix in that sense...I [...]
"I have never had an urgent need to be famous, or to be adored by the masses. I have always wanted to have my music flow into listeners'. The whole world might be completely hooked on the new "rock star" status of the DJ of today. Yet Denver based Matt Guilbeau aka Statedlife keeps doing his own thing without believing the hype. 1. Tell us about the tracks and the thoughts you put into this mix when putting it together? [...]
50 is the magic number and our podcast number 50 is delivered by a very special magician . Ulf Eriksson's magic lab is located in a basement below the southern part of Malmö. There he carefully selects ingredients for the future releases of his very own Kontra Musik. The praised label that claims itself being one big mess despite releasing quality material by Marcell Dettmann, Jonson / Alter, Mokira aka Tilliander , Agaric and Jason Fine over the last 6 years. We caught up with Ulf for a few questions about this hour [...]
According to Billboard 2011 report the vinyl hit a new record - a whopping 3.9 million sales in 2011 . That's 1.1 million more sales than the previous record, set in 2010. And trust me, we gonna see more and more of shiny 123 wax being printed, destributed and spinned at the clubs in the year 2012. There are three main reasons for this: In 2012 everybody and their mom is a dj. In 2012, Laptop Dj + vinyl Dj = True [...]
The X-mas and New Year holidays are over. We are back on track like a couple of polar bears waking up from a long sleep. So is the Paris based techno label Law Recordings . They open 2012 like a deck of cards pulling out a real jocker to strat the year. Paul Peanuts 2 track Ep is a journey into a blippy, bouncy techno that gets better and better the longer you play the track. The B-side (Test01) is kind of straight forward in willing to make you dance like [...]
![Simon Svenson – From Start to Finish [Suri001]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3984692_lg.jpg)
The fun loving producer duo EZLV out of the Montreal are kick-starting a new label named after the life loving Savannah animal. First out on Surricate is a Swede in exile - Simon Svensson living in US. The original track start to finish got the kick that chews it's way straight into your soul. The oldschool Detroit wibes take us on a deep journey straight into the Liquid Room where champagne glasses sparkle and the models hang out at the poolside nodding to this lovely deep track. Ezlv remix adds a bit [...]
1. Hardfloor - Acperience (Robert Babicz Remix) The German techno veterans Hardfloor just celebrated their 20th birthday with a tripple vinyl collection. The Robert Babicz remix brings the 1993 Acid classic back to life in a totally new form. This is definitely the track of the year. Hardfloor 2. Noir & Haze - Around (Solomun Vox) Nobody creates sexy deep house like Hamburg based producer Solomun. In the form of a slow latin inspired "pasodoble" he interprets dansih producer Noir and Haze track [...]

There is a lot of great stuff coming out now that we are getting ready to wrap up this year, but i thought I would have another go at it with another forthcoming release. This time its a track from the Lower East producer/DJ, Cozzy D. With a good mix of dark and deep this track is quite fitting for the cold and dark months ahead. The release is set for January next year on the Mythical Mystery EP. by Marphi [...]
Our Christmas spirit podcast is one lovely live set by the producer duo Jonsson/Alter . Praised for MOD - proclaimed as one of the best house albums of the 2011 and nominated (among other things) for The Best Dance by Swedish Radio P3. Jonsson/Alter is part of the Kontra Musik heritage ( Resident Advisor label of the month ) and we are especially proud to have them onboard of We Manage With Love. The tape is a bit organic, a bit dubby submarine journey into [...]
Ive been quite fond of the work Volta Cab have been putting out lately, and this one is no exception. What makes this work for me is that relaxed vibe and as soon as the percussion starts everything just ties together to a nice and deep track. There is not much info on a digital release yet, but a pressed version will be available next year. Volta Cab - My House Is Your House (Forthcoming 123 on Levitan) by Volta Cab [...]
Being a great producer doesn't automatically make you a great Dj. In fact some of the most giftet studio prodigies with 10 albums released might have a hard time making the crowd come alive at the club. This is also true the other way around. Skyler Mendoza might be a newcomer on the Chicago scene but is already earning titles as one of the best residents of the windy city. No matter if he's got a long producer career in front of him or will be spinning tracks at [...]

[Audio clip: view full post to listen] Defecteds, always a little cooler under label 4th floor, released an "animalistically" good deep house track in 2001 that me and many of my fellow deep house enthusiasts since has carried in our bags all over the globe. Johnny D. & Nicky P. get loose on the Brookly zoo. From the release I choose the obvious "A Wild Kingdom". This is as classy as it gets!! by Bowyer Hawks of [...]

[Audio clip: view full post to listen] Turn the record over and let's DISCO! The line obviously brings good vibes to any kind of house floor at any time of the evening. The day I got Mathew Herberts brilliant album "Parts Remixed" in my hands, my concept of deep house was forever changed. I do love the soulful jazzy American style a lot but here we had something that at the time was really new. So minimal, so slow and so deep. On my " 10 best deep house tracks of [...]
![Guti & Fosky – Step EP [Crosstown Rebels Dec 2011]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3876795_lg.jpg)
Guti is back with another EP on Crosstown. This time he teamed up with Fosky to create more of a raw sound than what you usually hear coming out from Crosstown, and the key word for this EP is Percussion and less melody. Something that have not been the top trademark for the labels latest releases, which feels exciting. Just listen to the A1 of this EP and you'll see what I'm on about. CRM088 GUTI & FOSKY - STEP EP by Crosstown Rebels [...]
![DARKSIDE (Nicolas Jaar + Dave Harrington) [December on Clown & Sunset]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3873709_lg.jpg)
Darkside is a newly baked project of Nicolas Jaar and Dave Harrington. Dave is making his first appearance on the blues guitar about half way into A1. If you listen closely. There is lot more of it on the A2 DARKSIDE - A1 by Clown & Sunset Deep, keep on the grass, house feeling by Nico is present throughout the whole EP. Even deeper and slower than his usual Wolf+Lamb stuff. What I love about Niclas Jaar production [...]
What's the first thing you think about when you hear Tijuana? HOUSE MUSIC! Yes! That my friend is correct! It's also home base for Vicario Musique Recordings . A house label on the border of Mexico and the US, " The Happiest place on earth" they say. I haven't been there but I find it just a bit hard to belive. But I do know this! They do some groovy house tunes down there! This EP by Sebastien Vorhaus is diffrent. "Earwax" takes you back [...]
