Nhan Solo was news to me but when I saw Mat.Joe on remix duty I had to check it out and i’m glad I did. Four cuts. Two them remixes. One by the aforementioned Mat.Joe, and the other by Death On The Balcony. “Big Tree” is a dub inspired call to the dancefloor. It’s subdued but will still get you grooving. The Mat.Joe remix takes things up a notch with…
Berlin’s OFF Recordings had a stellar year in 2012 and the new year is looking up as well. Miguel Puente serves up the label’s 44th release with the “Small Proposition” EP. The title track gets it’s name from the Nate Dogg sample used from his track “Gangsta Walk”. The track is aimed at serving this sample and it’s supported by a big thick bassline. “Lil Freakyness” is white hot centerpiece…
WOW. We have been quite absent on the web for the past two months. Mixture of us getting jobs (and losing them) Holidays, vacations, parties, and just plain apathy. However, with a new year comes new energy and we are committed to sharing with you all the music we think is dope. What a better way to kick off the new year than with a release from one of our…
“7 Mile Bridge” and “Take” are by far my favorites from the 4 track EP entitled Overseas Highway. To be honest I hadn’t heard of J. Alvarez before, so I had to do some research. After learning he used to be a electro/techno/ghetto-tech producer under the name Chris 214, the production style really makes sense. The tracks are all on the deep house tip, but show heavy influences of the…
Kim Ann Foxman’s newest release is a big one. Courtesy of Needwant, the release features two originals along with remixes from Populette and Steffi on “Return It”. I’m probably more of a fan of “Hypnotic Dance” than I am of “Return It”, but the remixes are going to be the most played for me. “Return It” is a really really good track, but Steffi and Populette absolutely turn it upside…
The moment people have been waiting for all summer has arrived. Hot Natured (Jamie Jones & Lee Foss) teamed up with Ali Love earlier this year and made the STELLAR tune “Benediction,” which is finally out on Hot Creations for everyone to enjoy over and over again. Included in the package is a dub version, and instrumental, and an MK remix of “Forward Motion.” I first heard this track on…
Today we have some very beautiful house music from one of our favorites, Nicolas. A Brighter Day was release on the Quintessentials label. I’m loving each and every one of these tracks a lot right now. Great sample selection on every track with solid production work. The dub version of “On My Mind” might be my favorite of the bunch, but it’s hard to say since I can’t stop playing…
Black Light Smoke is a new name to me, but that’s just embarrassing on my part because this guy is unbelievably good. All of these tracks were released previously on Scissor and Thread about a year ago on vinyl, so apologies if these are old news to you. Now we get a compact, remastered, digital release, again, courtesy of the NYC label, Scissor and Thread. The tracks are all incredible….
Not too sure how we missed posting about this until now, but damn is this a huge one. This marks Jozif’s second release on Culprit this year, and possibly his best to date. The title track is a steamy mess of disco funk and of course I mean that in the best way possible. Wonderfully, beautiful synth work on this one with plenty of laser stabs and an intoxicating vocal…
Netherlands native, Ben La Desh served us up something slow and sexy for his latest release. Courtesy of Sleazy Beats, “Stop That Groove Girl” is an infectious mid-tempo house jam that continually builds on itself from start to finish. Definitely my favorite of the bunch, but “Motion” is a close contender as well. Pick this release up at Juno on wax or mp3.
Kolombo is back with his latest EP My Own Business on the 2DIY4 label. This is a huge release for the new and upcoming label. Hard, deep basslines, catchy vocals, perfect percussion, and just overall amazing production; I’m loving this one. Go support this release using one of the buttons on beatport player. Oh did I mention he sampled Warren G’s “I Want It All”? Boss.
Oh Audiojack, y’all never cease to amaze me. The two UK lads have released some previews for their upcoming “These Days” Ep set to release September 10th on their Gruuv label. The EP features three originals and two remixes of the title track courtesy of Jimmy Edgar and Sacha Robotti. The title track “These Days” might be my favorite out of the group as I am a sucker for monologues…
This post will be very brief and is mainly for those of you who haven’t seen these vids because you haven’t “liked” our Facebook page. WHICH YOU CAN DO HERE! Just this past Sunday I was one of the lucky people who rsvp’d in time to get a chance to see deep house dons, Jamie Jones and Lee Foss tear the Standard Hotel rooftop a new one as they formed…
I’m literally about to jump in a car and disappear to the northern most regions of California for the rest of the week and I don’t want to let this one sit around in the drafts so I’m gonna skip a description and hope you take my word for it when I say each and every one of these tracks are pure gold. Speed blogging starting now… “Till We Die”…
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…
