Vancouver-based duo WMNSTUDIES are known for transforming sultry R/B tracks into dance floor anthems. Their latest creation, a rework of Usher's 'Nice and Slow', is no different. It takes you back to a time when Usher wasn't involved in reality television programs hosted by Carson Daly, and what a glorious time that was. Check their Soundcloud page for a free download. posted by @clarkbs
It's the legend, the myth behind much of Donna Summer's huge disco success. Giorgio Moroder did most of his work in Munich and the influence of Düsseldorf’s Kraftwerk can be heard in his work for Donna Summer , which includes two of the ultimate disco anthems, I Feel Love and Love To Love You Baby . This was motorik music: spacious, trippy, ever-lasting, far removed from the relentless bounce of most disco. Giorgio Moroder is also a supreme composer of soundtracks, scoring an unlikely success with The Chase , the theme from Midnight Express , and his footprints are [...]
Oakenfold & Project 46s’ best, has just become even better by Moiez’s latest pumpin’ and pounding re-work. Equally as paramount as his recent Armin van Buuren remix, Moiez gets our hands in the air and those runways cleared for another Iberian-styled takeoff. Hidden below within our Aerial Noise bonus drop are Stereotronique & Northend’s ‘Rhusma,’ yet another Moiez booty-bomb, Sedi’s original submission for the EDC : Las Vegas Discovery Project competition, and a lethal ‘Freq Shift’ by D05. The frequencies have just been tweaked up a bit – care of these cheeky rascals. [...]
Established in 2009, Estate have been kicking impressive transcontinental butt. Immediately coming across as majestic - Estate’s mixes / re-works work well alongside their Lycra-endorsed mentality. Sourced from the humble city of Minneapolis, Minnesota, this trio of producers specialize in eighties funked-up exhilaration and modern-aged club world pleasure. Positioned with more stroke than Ron Jeremy and Jenna Jameson; Josh Johnson, Dan Kramer and Jessie Lesmeister (as Estate ) live up to the standards met by legends past. Blessed by the spirit of distinguished illustrious music, this compact and clean Estate has no rowdy behaviour. [...]
Now that “Random Access Memories” has finally been let out of Columbia’s gates, there have been all sorts of curveballs, dead weights and homeruns made within this diamond field of 13 tracks. Aaron Metford (aka Togglehead) opts for a more rapid approach that brings electro-fied synths and dynamic drums to The Robots vast analogue table.
This past Fall the United States was finally able to experience Sensation Innerspace - a spectacle of unique production quality and a show that boasted a lineup that impressed all house music enthusiasts. Having only been a figment of our imaginations and something we could only live vicariously through via images and YouTube videos for some time, America was finally able to get a taste of the European tradition that we had been hearing about for so long. Sensation Innerspace sold out two shows at Brooklyn's Barclays Center in October and hosted the likes of Mr. White , [...]
One thing you can always rely on; Madera will always drop a high quality, totally awesome mashup. So when I found this little delight in my inbox, I threw my revision in the air like some cheesy American film from the 902s and smashed it on. The vocals from Example are extraordinary, and the backing [...]
With all the excitement surrounding Daft Punk's new album RAM which was just released yesterday there is bound to be a million remixes coming out this summer and beyond. One of OTR's favorite remixers Theater of Delays took a stab at one of my fave tracks from the album, the Panda Bear collab "Doin' it Right" and he did a phenomenal job. Played it out this past weekend and some of my friends that don't even like Daft Punk were like this is Daft [...]
GDaddie - Live Well And Prosper Groovy beatmaker GDaddie just dropped his new song Live Well And Prosper . A psyched funk/pop danceable monster with all the beats and synths ready to tear down the walls that separates ’90s acid pop with todays electronic music. Uptempo and uplifted tunes to make your body shakin’. Follow GDaddie here if you wanna learn more about his upcoming LP.
Tesla Boys’ 12-track LP of classically-trained refinement touches on the clouds of non-smugness and centres on the path of credibility. Featuring collaborations with Fritz Helder (from Azari & III) and vocalist Tyson, Tesla Boys’ “The Universe Made Of Darkness” goes a long way in appealing to those who like to find distraction in almost anything, and instruct folks to dust of their synthesizers and strike up their air guitars. Effectively more dynamic than an in-depth, sit down interview with Jack Tweed or Katie “Jordan” Price, Tesla Boy sends out a beacon to planet Earth and [...]
I immediately want to start off this post by apologizing for not posting in like, jesus, 2 weeks? I've been slammed with school, work, life but I plan on making a full-fledged comeback. Anyway, wanna kick off that comeback with a few from Joel Zimmerman , or as most of you know him as, Deadmau5 . He recently flooded his SoundCloud with some of the most beautifully composed tracks that I've heard him released in a while. Giving me goosebumps, taking my mind places they shouldn't go, wandering in his synths, progressions and beats. Some of [...]
Taking you back.. way back.. to a time that was challenging popular mainstream charts and dominating the underground music scene (London / surrounding areas) during the era of 1996 - 1999, British DJ/producer Jeremy Sylvester has seen it and done it all. With his uncompromising style of unyielding and obstinate UK Garage, 2013 continues to be a year where the traditional sound of old refuses to lay on its back and die, and maintains its position to be re-injected by fresh new blood / innovative supporters such as Disclosure, Duke Dumont, Skream, DJ Q and DJ [...]
Resurrected for 2013, Ed Banger Records present their first ever B-Side release that came out in Feburary 2003. On the back of its A-Side (called ‘Radar Rider’ by Mr Flash), this is ‘F.I.S.T.’ from A Bass Day. Better known as Zdar; electro music scaled at 2000% - is about to be served. BONUS!
The new video for CSS’s single “Hangover” off their upcoming album Planta features painfully awkward office dancing, staying true to the band’s offbeat style. The coordinated marching in place could be taken as a symbol of communication in the work place, but we probably shouldn't read into it. The new album drops on June 11th, [...]
Tracklisting unknown, DJ well-known. It’s time to groove and that time is now. The Magician is back, with Magic Tape 33. THE MAGICIAN : Magic Tape 33 **FREE DOWNLOAD**
Sometimes, simple is just better. That is certainly the case with Italian producer Rivaz ’s latest release, “Colors.” After first getting major attention on the Miami special edition of Thomas Gold ’s Fanfare radio show a few months ago, the track is out today on the fellow Italian label d:vision Records . The progression that perfect riff to get you pumped for the summer festival and beach season: it’s shockingly simple, melodic, uplifting and somehow doesn’t get boring. Whether stumbling on this from pure luck or his knowledge in producing disco and Ibiza-themed [...]
Hailing from Legnica, Poland, Carlo Calabro’s focus in dance music seriousness is a direct as a Funktion One soundsystem built to last. Already championed by fellow luminaries such as Christopher Lawrence, Markus Schulz, Tiësto, Lange and Rank 1, the future looks bright for this steady, upcoming producer/DJ/radio show host, Carlo Calabro . His monthly radio show called “Pushing The Bar” can be heard via Digitally Imported (www.di.fm). Carlo Calabro’s reflex-styled manipulation of thunderous chainsaws & ear-splitting arpeggio use, has to be experienced live to be understood completely. [...]
I don't know how my friend Lex does it, but he's always sending me amazing remixes, many from artists that I've never heard before. Like this beaut he sent my way today for "Last Day" by Tomharu remixed by Tokyo producer Bazz that is pretty fabulous. Light and fresh like a warm summer day. Definitely got my day started on the right track. Thought I'd share the goods with you lovely folks. Maybe it will do the same for you. Check out [...]
Frankie Knuckles recently blessed The Fader with an exclusive live mix along with an interview. If you claim to be a fan of dance music and the new Daft Punk record is 'so your thing' then you should get familiar with Frankie Knuckles. This guy laid the groundwork for disco house music as it exists today. Check out a few excerpts of the The Fader interview while listening below. Download: Frankie Knuckles Fader Mix Early Inspiration: "Lots of the early Philly Soul, pre-Philadelphia International. The [...]
Say what you want about Daft Punk 's Random Access Memories , the album manifests itself as one of the most anticipated in recent memory. The hype surrounding the album's release can be credited to two things: the men who have continually shaped the scope of dance music making a return from a long hiatus, and the marketing of their album being an art-form in itself. The ride was fun, and it'll surely shape how major labels will try to dress their buzz for future full lengths to come. Together we've compiled our favourite reviews, artist reactions, and surprises that [...]
