I just found out about Kisses, the L.A. based duo of Jesse Kivel and Zinzi Edmundson, on one of the more recent Modular Recordings’ “Modcast.” I was immediately turned on by their track selection of smooth pop jams with some disco to boot. After that I headed over to their soundcloud and was very happy with what I found. Kivel’s smooth vocals harken back to the days of 80s movies…

Irish siren Roisin Murphy has given us “Simulation,” a nearly twelve minute journey of disco bliss which has just been released by Berlin’s Permanent Vacation. A driving kick and snare set the pace immediately and are soon followed synth licks, disco riffs, arpeggiations, and a groovy understated bass line that help drive this soul train deeper and deeper into an erotic cosmos. Murhpy’s vocals are powerful and seductive, and when…

One of Germany’s finest exports, Ian Pooley brings us another soon to be classic tune with “Know What’s Up”. The tune is uptempo and energetic with RnB vocals, a great bassline, perfect percussion, and layers of stabbing synthesizers. Courtesy of Smoke N Mirrors, the release features a remix from SHOW-B and Barbena. My personal fav from the release comes from SHOW-B as he takes the track deep and to the…

This release courtesy of Apersonal Music came out a little while ago, but I just never got around to posting it. The latest EP from Trujillo, Acapulco Gold, contains two originals and a remix apiece for each track. When I saw Ron Basejam (of Crazy P) and Cosmic Kids were on remix duties, I grabbed this release without listening to a single song. Although, Trujillo’s name alone was enough to…

It’s not often that music and time coincide so perfectly, but the newly formed slow-disco duo from LA, Poolside, have found a way to do just that. With summertime in full swing here in the city of angels, Pacific Standard Time is the perfect soundtrack for this current seasonal change. The tracks are all slow-tempo disco, with solid bass lines and beautiful melodies. So get this album, press play, grab…

The latest White Light mix is out and it’s a big one from LA based, disco geniuses, Oliver. It’s packed full of Disco goodness, but what else would you expect from these guys. A lot of times mixes are either old disco 12″ with some updated edits or just nu-disco/disco house bangers. This mix features a great selection of both, with tracks spanning from the last 3 decades. Tracklisting below:…

It’s almost summer time, which means the pool parties start multiplying, girls wear less clothing, the 80 degree sun starts a more permanent residence for the next couple months, and day drinking is more redly acceptable. We start putting away our tech house records and bring out those dusty 12″ disco gems. In honor of this glorious seasonal change, I wanted to feature something that encompasses this summer life style….

Berlin based producer and one half of Dirt Crew, James Flavour, has released an amazing Deep House EP earlier this month on Brown Eyed Boyz Records titled, “Disco 1/5.” I was out in the desert with Connor this past weekend warming ourselves to the sounds of Oliver, Poolside, and the infamous DJ Harvey, and I know these cuts would have fit in nicely with the aforementioned artists’ sets. In my…

Well it’s Monday and I’m feeling lazy so I figured this would be the perfect time to do some shameless self-promotion. I decided to start a monthly mix series this year to help me keep up with the ever increasing amount of electronic music being released today. You can find me on soundcloud, under the moniker condor. There you’ll find two brand spankin’ new mixes, a few edits, and some…

Tim Sweeney’s amazing radio show, Beats In Space, on WNYU 89.1 has aired every Tuesday night since it’s inception in 1999. With over ten years of archived material one could spend an eternity on his webpage listening to all the episodes. But for today i’m sharing just a tid bit of the material you can hear on his show. It’s a mix from the Polish duo, Catz ‘N Dogz. No…

Discotexas is back with their second compilation of their year’s releases. It features some of the bigger hits, some that weren’t but should be, and a few unreleased ones. The 20 track compilation starts off with a Discotexas edit of Astrolabe’s “Cave Disco”. It sets the mood perfectly for this release, which was described as “Undercover Agent Disco” by label mate Moullinex. Support this great label by purchasing the release…

Smash TV is a duo from Berlin. They make really good tech house and their newest EP featuring remixes of an earlier release is nothing short of amazing. The originals were released in September of last year on Get Physical Records (great label btw). My favorite off the original was “Made for Eachother” and I really enjoy the dub off the the remix EP. Take a listen below and go…

I live on the West Coast and I know i’m spoiled when it comes to weather. Those frigid winters and unbearably humid summers from my days growing up in the Midwest are a thing of the past thank goodness, yet I still manage to complain about “chilly” or “overcast” days in L.A. I guess all the sun out here has fried my brain. Either way i’ve got a gnarly craving…

I have a lot of good stuff for you in today’s post. A lot of these artists I’ve just discovered and are relatively unknown. So do these guys a favor and show them some love on all the social media sites they use. And definitely go buy their tracks on beatport, iTunes, juno, etc. With that being said… GonZo is a producer from Copenhagen who has recently gone on a…

My computer situation has been a little messed up as of late, so I’ve been listening to a lot of soundcloud mixes lately. In other words, here are a bunch of soundcloud mixes: Shur-i-kan has been producing Deep House for quite awhile now. The British DJ has been a key player for Freerange Records for more than a few years and will most certainly be someone to keep an eye…
