The three hundreds from Sydney did a remix of Teenage crime. You already love the original, and the remix takes it to another dimension with two-step influences and a lil filtering. These guys are really beginning to carve a production niche for themselves across Sydney, and it's not long before the rest of Australia catches on too. Catch them DJing at clubs. Teenage Crime (3hundreds '3-Step' Remix) - Adrian Lux by [...]
Pates is an abreviation I just made up for the Pants party this weekend featuring Kato and Frames. It works if you think about it. I'm pretty excited for this saturday as we're getting together two sick DJs who know each others style really well, and are also big fans of each other, meaning that there's gonna be some sick chemistry bopping round that bar that I think y'all will enjoy. To give you a little sampler of the excellent music taste of the blokes involved, I've got a little mixtape that my boy Frames threw [...]
Alfa is an artist I've got a lot of time for. Out of Los Angeles, you might be familair with his name if you fellow the record label Binary who is currently responsible for some of the nicest releases going around from groups like LexiconDon, Keenhouse and a swag of others. While the first track I heard from this bro was his delightful remix of NightWaves hit single 'Sweet Carrie', his other releases have him classed as an electro artist with equal parts pop and swagger in a similar mould to Fred Falke without the bass guitar, [...]
One artist that I'm glad I found out about is the Scuola Furano. He's an Italian house stallion nailing quality productions, and he's been around for a while. A few months back I featured a bunch of tracks of an EP that he released that were incredibly good. The EP was a homage to 90s house and a throw back era where loops would go on for 10 minutes and never get old. I'm determined to help make this man a household name within my group of friends, as I'm tired of having to explain who he is [...]
The 3hundreds are two local dudes out of Sydney with music in their veins. Both guys, Adam and Sam, grew up on diverse and rich diets of classical, rock, hip hop and electronic dance music and it shows in their production and live sets. While they've made a living to-date out of banging club sets across town and interstate, it's their production work which is beginning to set them apart from a host of challengers. Having recently had there 'We no speak Americano' remix place in the top ten entries of a Australia wide remix competition, they've backed [...]
Sydney bros I always get excited about are the Generic Collective. If you follow Groove City you would've heard me talking about them by now. They throw killer parties when they can, and have recently been lucky enough to play up at Splendour in the Grass. Big achievement, however it doesn't look like they'll be slowing down anytime soon with a set at Parklife on the cards, as well as another insane party to be thrown on Friday the 17th of September at Club 77. These guys are all closet hip hop heads any when they throw [...]
Masaki is a local Sydney bloke who has been around for a minute. I first met him at a gig where despite playing back to back, we threw down completely different styles and I was thoroughly impressed with his tropical tech house set despite knowing absolutely nothing about it. Turns out the kid can produce as well. He's been at it for a little while, and after a recent name change, he's beginning to enjoy his first bit of success with his latest single enjoying some radio airtime on Triple J courtesy of other Sydney bros, Yolanda [...]
Here's more music I've been sitting on fo' a month. When I was in school, I was in a lot of organisations. I did music, and sports and well yeah a heaps bunch more things you probably don't care about. The one thing that was awesome was being the tallest person in the student body. Bang! I bet when BitFunk was at school he was the biggest bad ass in the student body. There's no way you get a funk swagger like he has from reading between the lines. Have a listen to his remix of [...]
Here's a track I've been sitting on for months. A nice record label, Shiny Disco Club, sent me a promo for one of their artists called Kartell. He's a young French producer and DJ who's gain the attention of other French touch producers including Thony Ritz and Go Go Bizkitt. He's a got a style which is addcitive and designed for the big room. His EP (which may be out now, been sitting on this for a while) is going to feature remixes from a who's who of blog haus killers from 2010 including Mix Chopin, Night [...]
A Sydney producer who is going places is The Gripp. We first featured this bloke not long ago after he sent me his remix of Kavinsky as well as a sweet little original track. While the production quality was a touch raw, the sounds incorporated within the tracks was downright sublime; a fuse of rythmic guitar loops, sweet drum patches in a manor that was quite refreshing. Since then, boy has been extremely busy in the studio working his way through a mountain of remix requests including his first official track which will be upon us shortly. [...]
Hiatus! Yo so my boy Cadillac out of Melbourne has been deep deep deep in the studio recently. Since they/he burst onto the scene a few months ago with their monster track Make You Feel, the hype has been kind of ridiculous. Most of the hype has been me by the way. And I'm cool with that. Fella knows what's up. Which was rewarded in the dudes smashing out a couple of nice live sets in recent times, one with Phantoms Revenge out of France, and another incredible set at the Splendour in the Grass festival in Woodford [...]
Out of Switzerland, Digital Human describe themselves as "two lazy brothers gettin it on". That's it. And I'm ok with it. Digital Human prefer to let their producing do the talking, with an unassuming catalogue of dope original tunes and a couple of stellar remixes in a style which is hard to pigeon hole. It's not 'nu disco', it's not electro or house but rather it's just great tunes engineered for y'all to get down to. Watch these guys as I've confirmation they're working on a sweet bunch of remixes at the moment due out soon. [...]
The internet is ridiculous .. In a short space of time, Go Go Bizkitt has gone from a talented and unknown producer to a bloke who is absolutely killing it. Here's his latest jam. It's Donna Summer given the Bizkitt treatment .. Whammy! Donna Summer-Spring Affair (Go Go Bizkitt! Remix) by Go Go Bizkitt!
My boy Wine and Cheese has dropped over his latest track for your pleasure. It's in line with his previous releases which are funk-filled sample classic booty jams. Dig in, and check out his SoundCloud for his back catalogue. Nightlife by Wine & Cheese
Wow! Sorry for the lack of posts of late. Full steam ahead! Now as you probably have heard by now, last week the Bag Raiders premiered their latest single "Way back home", to be featured on the album due out on October the 30th! As usual, it's nothing short of amazing, but just in case you missed it, get on board it right here on GrooveCity with thanks to my homeys over at Dance Club . Their blog is a great way to stay in the loop with all the going-ons in the Sydney club circuit so [...]
Not long ago we brought you the hip hop stylings of a dude by the name of Hoodie Allen. His previous track 'You are not a robot' was a dope rap jam over the Marina and the Diamonds track 'I am not a robot'. Not only was it a clever use of sampling but the lines spat were pretty true. Suffice to say, Hoodie's back, this time spitting over an even doper track, Undercover Martyn by Two Door Cinema Club. Hoodie has a mixtape coming out called Pep Rally which will no dout be excellent given [...]
Dezlin is a bloke out of Culver City in the good ole' United States of America. He's always been a fan of electronic music and enjoys mucking around with his own interpretations of songs by some of his favourite artists such as LCD Soundsystem and Darwin Deez. He told me that he's new to rummaging around the blog world, be it both as a punter downloading fresh beats as well as a promoter of his own material. The music he makes is kind of like a mellow Armand Van Helden, it's filled with fresh loops and clever re-interpretation. While simple, [...]
BetaTraxx are a group out of Los Angeles that make music in a style I don't normally find appealing. How ever after checking out their remix of Kelis that they sent over it's clear their talent bridges the gap between my electro disdain and my melody appreciation. They were the group behind the catchy single 'Foxtrot' that got the remix treatment from LightsoverLA which was quite a dope tune, and a dope remix as well. The treatment of Kelis is quite extroidinary, and reminds me of the kind of work we've seen in recent times from 'The Kids are radioactive' [...]
Splendour in the grass was really really good. Normally I try and steer clear of music festivals in Sydney when the line-up is absolutely jaw dropping as the crowds who swarm in usually aren't the most pleasant folk on steroids. Two genius ideas to help eliminate this at Splendour? Put it in the middle of no where up at Woodford in QLD, and also only have DJs playing between the bands, and therefore not inviting people to rave for hours on end to the likes of MSTRKRFT (boo!), Aoki (boo!) and other creeps who merely cater to the lowest common [...]
A little while ago we posted some tunes by an American duo called 'This One's for Cody'. They had some amazingly unique electro bootlegs of dope hip hop tunes that I personally got very excited about. Being a bit of a party DJ myself, it's always hard trying to bridge the gap between playing as many Will Smith song's as possible, and keeping the energy up in a big room, and these dudes seem to have those skills on tap. Today I've been lucky enough to get an interview with the guys who have just made their [...]
