Kicking off 2012 with a bang, LOUNGIN' RECORDINGS welcomes CHUBBY DUBZ (aka Oliver $ and Gene Siewing) to the family. Chubby Dubz background and origins combine all manors of influences, as Oliver is native to Germany and Gene to the US. With this chemistry comes a fusion of minds that produces great house music with enough musical soul to have real longevity and keep the dance floors moving. The pair's first release, The Album Sampler #1 , as the name suggests is the first release of 4 from [...]

Another release on PRETTY LIGHTS MUSIC , this time by Brooklyn duo BREAK SCIENCE . To be expected, this is a bass-heavy glitchy cut, full of breaks, contrasted with some ethereal melodies. "Victory" is the first single from the upcoming EP, Monolith Code . In the words of the seasoned producers, it's "the innate message we have to decipher to get to the next step in our evolution. The monolith represents a transition into a higher level of consciousness. A spark that initiates us to consider wider [...]

As summer drew to a close I went "camping" with my wife and her family. By camping I mean we stayed in a gigantic RV on some land they're developing near a lake in Southern Manitoba. No we weren't roughing it. In fact, my brother-in-law brought a pretty swank and deluxe sounding iPod/iPhone stereo thingy. While the others went to sleep, he and I listened to PRETTY LIGHTS in front of a fire. Editor's note: This portable piece of stereo equipment was one of the most rich-sounding units I've ever heard. It [...]

Late last year CHAMPION RECORDS released a deluxe EP from THE LOOSE CANNONS . "Charlie Bit Me" is a bouncy tech-house number, albeit a bit cheeky thanks to some help from a somewhat well known internet phenomenon from 2011. The tune gets a driving disco-influenced makeover from Southern Fried stalwart and man-of-the-moment BIRDEE . The other cut on the EP takes another internet meme and thankfully it's use is kept to [...]

I played this warehouse party last halloween and some hoochies, very very good looking hoochies mind you, kept requesting Avicii. I had one track of his and to be honest, despite the million promos we received I didn't really know who he was. I played the tune it went off so I looked back through the promos and educated myself a bit. In my mind he didn't have game. This bootleg from the FUNK MOGULS , is a bit different. It has game and I can't wait to drop it the next time [...]

YUKSEK has won my heart and ears many times. Released on ULTRA MUSIC , his latest long player is no different. At times, Living on the Edge of Dreams is an etheral dream and at others a wash of melodic distortion and stomping kicks. We have a video, a couple previews from the album and pre-released singles. Oh there's also a free download to boot. MP3: Yuksek - Always on the Run (Tom Furse Remix) [...]

Conjuring sounds of 80s and 90s electro and next generation house music, ELI ESCOBAR 's first release on DITHER DOWN RECORDS easily worked its way into high rotation here at Manalogue. Ideally, this one is for dark spaces but if you can't find yourself listening to any of the tunes in this single, close your eyes.

The latest remix from PSYMBIONIC is a spicy, glitchy shuffle. The Beastie Boys' classic "Intergalactic" is textured with basslines and a stuttered beat. Both the vocal and instrumental versions are offered free downloads. The drop at about the three-minute mark is particularly deadly - this one's going on high rotation.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like Winnipeg is a hotbed for ghetto funk. We've seen some incredible acts come through this city - NICK THAYER being the latest. We can thank our friends at MUSIC FIRST for this show. I can't imagine a producer as diverse as Thayer. Everything he does falls loosely into breaks, but the tempo ranges in his production makes him stand out. Yes, there's breaks plain and simple, but also some of the best ghetto funk and dubstep I've heard [...]

MC2 has an epic EP of bass music. The short player was released on January 9 and you can grab it from beatport . Below are a couple previews of the tunes and below the jump you'll find some downloads to pleasure your low-end fantasies. Guns N' Roses released "Knockin on Heaven's Door" sometime when I was in elementary school. I made a mixtape (on cassette tape no less) with the song on it and brought it to school for our lunch-hour [...]

Image stolen from airwolfparadise.com Don't let the long, wanky intro fool you. This new tune from AIRWOLF is not trance. Grab it on beatport . The tune is a bit of a departure from what Airwolf normally produces, and so is this collab with TRUMPDISCO . www.youtube.com/watch?v=gsw-pX 3BsZc Make sure to peep both their SoundCloud pages for their back catalogs.

Last fall my mate and I were booked to play THE HARVEST MOON FESTIVAL and I was at a loss for electronic-based material a bunch of hippies would dance to. I can't remember where or how, but I came across LANCE HERBSTRONG a few days before the gig and put three of their tunes in my aresenal. Since then, they've released their first long player and they're about to let another loose. Here's the first single from the trio's upcoming album. You should know however, "many plants have been [...]

Last year GOMMA was approached to rework some songs from the legendary Casablanca Records catalogue. MOULLINEX , Telonius, Munk and The Phenomenal Handclap Band did four new interpretations of classic tracks by Donna Summer & Giorgio Moroder, Skatt Brothers, Stephanie Mills and from the Flashdance soundtrack! For the project they needed a very special vocalist, who they believed had the right understanding of history, the perfect dirty approach and enough soul. They found her in the former Canadian, PEACHES . [...]

Some fire to get your weekend started. Here's NAPT 's latest mix recorded on Australia's Triple J radio show last month. It's available for the pilfering. What I want to know is when the colab with PEO DE PITTE , "Gonna Be Mine" will surface. This tune has been in countless of their mixes but hasn't seen the light of day yet. Come on fellas. This tune is sick! Here's the tracklist: 1 NAPT "King Jitter" (Red Sugar Records) Buy [...]

If you've read any of my previous posts, you'll know i'm a huge fan of John Digweed. I listen to his podcats and live mixes regularly. I'm assuming John has ultimate veto power when it comes to the guests he chooses for TRANSITIONS SHOW - like his mixes - are stellar. Last May, he had NY native ROYAL SAPIEN (aka BEN MAUTNER) on the show. Ben had worked tirelessly to create an EPIC ableton mix called STACKED. His appearance on the TRANSITIONS show, was the debut of the mix. According to Ben, [...]
