Alessandro Bacci has been gracing us with his soulful house productions for over 10 years. Known for being one of the best collaborators and remixers out there, the producer known more commonly as Alex Kenji also has quite the ear for great vocals. That is the case with “Stars in the Sky,” a club friendly collaboration with fellow house producer Richard Dinsdale. With both acid and rock-inspired instrumentals and featuring the voice of Kandace Ferrel , the original was released earlier this year. The track has now been released with additional remixes from Wideboys and [...]

Wolf Saga is back and this time Johnny Saga includes more synth-driven melodies and an overall indie style than ever before. With his newest track "Our Time", visions of relaxing by the pool with close friends and the sun high in the sky run rampant. Where the track explicitly says to "spend your time here wisely" this seems to imply to get out and enjoy the summer, where free time should be spent "wisely" in a fashion that makes for a unique experience tailored specifically to any individual. So, whatever the plans are for the summer be sure to enjoy it with [...]
Ernest Greene's stage name is something that may have been discovered a few years ago, but then faded away into the background. More properly known as Washed Out , his type of music is considered to be part of the chillwave movement from about three to four years ago. His debut album Within and Without was released back in 2011 via Sub Pop Records . Since then he has been quiet, leaving all of us in speculation. Upping his live performances, Washed Out's pulse began to beat, which ultimately lead to the announcement of [...]
Who doesn't have a memory based around a single song, if not the entire trademark Bob Marley & The Wailers album Legend ? An album that is so sacred to the majority of music listeners that remixing it could be considered almost a sin. Knowing this, Universal Music Enterprises made sure to meticulously choose some of the brightest and most diverse names in the game to mold the single-filled album into their own unique visions. The long list of remix artists includes RAC , Jim James , Thievery Corporation , Pretty Lights , [...]
Snakadaktal’s debut LP isn’t dropping until August, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get a taste of what they have in store. Their latest track “Ghosts” comes from Sleep in the Water set for release this August via the Australian label Liberation . The track’s subtleties lie in their care to atmospheric playfulness and attention to the flowing melody. The textures and emotional vocals throughout the record are enough to make you wish you could escape to paradise for a moment. The Melborne based band recorded the entire album in an old horse stable, which makes me [...]
In the current economic landscape, Detroit is a city under reconstruction. Once a bumbling metropolis, the motor city has literally transformed into something just shy of a ghost-town becoming one of the poorest cities in the U.S.A. While the people of Detroit's mass exodus from the city left it crippled after 2008, there is no argument that it's teeming history and rich culture are pertinent to the striving city's survival, attracting transplants from all over who want to restore it. The original home of Mo-Town Records and ground zero for techno, house and other electronic music coming out of [...]
![Naughty Boy - "La La La" (Feat. Sam Smith) (Mike Hawkins Remix) [Exclusive Download]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4999840_lg.jpg)
While we here in the States have been propelling Macklemore and Justin Timberlake to chart-topping positions, the Brits have been enraptured by the musical musings of English artist Naughty Boy and his track "La La La" with Sam Smith . Having reached #1 for two UK categories, many a DJ has given the track some remix attention. However, Denmark's Mike Hawkins (founder of the promising Megaton Records , which currently fosters fresh talents Filip Ilic and Toby Green ) gives his peers a run for their money with this electro progressive rework.

19-year-old Myles Shear, aka Nexus, never fails to surprise me. His music collection ranges from hip hop beats, to electro house, all the way down to deep house. On his latest release we see a much more funkier and groovier side to the young producer. Myles gave me a breakdown of the new track and where he stands as an artist. “I always try to evolve my sound by what inspires me so this isn't really a huge turn for me. I hope my music will continue to expand as I grow as an artist. Who [...]
On his new remix for Jason Derulo 's smash hit ' The Other Side ', Fred Falke has painted sonic cascades of classic late-70s disco flare while maintaining the original tune's infectious breakdown and vibe. From the get go, the song's up-beat nostalgia reminisces a better time: the groovey flash of fully-lit clubs, multi-colour dancefloors, and just a few Space-Jam-esque synth stabs. Compared to the original's clean, 'radio-friendly', production, Fred Falke has fine tuned this new mix into a club system banger, complete with flowing funk bassline and house-driven breakdown. This remix bridges the gap and joins [...]

Happy birthday, Will Brennan ! To celebrate, the South Florida emcee brings us the summer sequel of his successful "RNR" single, an affecting hip-hop jam. Songstress Jenny Reynolds undoubtedly makes this track a bit more sensual than its predecessor, and her light vocals are a complimentary match for Brennan's hard-hitting flow. EthniKids provide Brennan and Reynolds with a filtered backdrop, incorporating hints of melodic trap music without fully giving in to the played out subculture, ultimately giving "RNR 2.0" a more universal appeal. "RNR 2.0" is a progressive sequel, starting out light and sensual with a few Brennan-Reynolds' [...]

Plant a catch-all term in North America, and "EDM" goes boom. It’s tough not to be grazed by the latest dance music explosion; try stepping on a bus without having to hear tweens blaring Skrillex out of their headphones or catching one of David Guetta 's piano breakdowns chiming out of your parent's favourite easy listening station. The sudden upsurge in popularity has propped up new festivals, record labels, and industry groups left and right—all reaching a hand out in hopes of grabbing a piece of that massive pie. It's undeniable that EDM has firmly rooted itself in popular [...]
Hot off of his remix of Rustie 's "Slasher" Flume decided to stick around in the UK to take on a song from current heavyweights in house. Disclosure 's "You & Me" has seen some different styles from big names thus far, with Baauer electrifying it full of heavy electronic textures and Toro y Moi exposing the lighter elements in the track. So the question is where does this leave space for a Flume remix? Well, as it turns out, Flume is able to capture elements of both ends, playing [...]
It's been a little while since we've heard from our friends over at Wall Recordings . With the recent influx of "grind-inspired" productions, it seems the Dirty Dutch-driven label has taken a while to find its next signee, and with good measure and intent. Today the fittingly Dutch D-wayne , an up and coming producer who has been recently playing around with his style to find the right niche, has found a great home on the label with his release "AMMO" that came out earlier today. The whirlwind of the Afrojack -like beat in "AMMO" has a groove that pairs [...]
