Chicago DJ/producer Kate Simko has just released a bomber of an EP on London based Leftroom Records. This will be her third release on Matt Tolfrey’s label, but Ms. Simko has been putting out deep tunes for years on labels like Spectral Sound and Ghostly International and been in the mix with heavyweights like Seth Troxler, Matthew Dear and Tevo Howard to name a few. So what can we expect…

I’ve been really feeling Myrryrs’ newest EP, I’m A State of Mind. This was released about a month ago off LA’s own Body High label (Samo Soundboy and Jerome from LOL Boys brainchild). I’m having a really hard time defining this one into any one genre, but that’s usually a great sign of good music. Hip-hop instrumentally, bass-heavy in all the right places, Jersey club influence, somewhat minimal/ambient at times,…

Jesse Rose’s Made To Play record label is arguably one of the freshest in House, so it makes perfect sense that MTP is releasing the newest album from Zombie Disco Squad. I’ve always been a huge supporter of ZDS even after the pair split (Nat Self is the sole remaining member). Good thing i’ve always loved Nat’s solo productions because that split may have ruined it for me. Memorial Day…

I’m a very happy camper today! FINALLY, Duke Dumont’s first of his “For Club Play Only,” series of releases has become available today from Turbo Recordings. Last year it was Gesaffelstein’s brutally good remix of ZZT’s “Zzafrika” that reminded everyone just how on point Tiga’s label is. In my opinion, this new Duke Dumont cut might just be that for 2012. I’m in no way comparing Dumont’s jam with Gesa’s,…

Bristol bass music star, Julio Bashmore, who’s “Battle For Middle You,” made waves last year has announced he will be launching a new label in July titled, Broadwalk Records. Bashmore has put up what will be the label’s first single on his soundcloud. Broadwalk’s flagship track is titled, “Au Seve” and is just what you’d expect from him (that’s not a bad thing). Classic House snares and hats all grooving…

Disclosure. Two brothers, 21 and 18, from the UK. I believe Guy and Howard Lawrence are producing some of the best ambient, 2-step out there right now. I first heard about them from this amazing tumblr called A$tro-travellin. I could probably put up every track they’ve ever produced on this post because it’s that good, but i’ll let you do the digging. They have a free EP up on their…

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….

We here at GnarGnarCorner are a little obsessed with the dirtybird label and after seeing Justin Martin absolutely kill it at the Avalon last Friday, I realized we hadn’t featured any of his new EPs. While we wait for Justin Martin’s debut full length to drop later this month (May 21st to be exact), he’s been feeding our anticipation with two very solid EPs. Released about a month ago, the…

James Flavour and Sasse have brought us a really great compilation of stripped down and filtered out Deep House in the form of “Station” from Sasse’s imprint, Moodmusic. Sasse and Flavour have done an excellent job curating 13 sexy jams just in time for Summer. I’m hoping to score a spot at this amazing/huge warehouse in downtown L.A. this Summer, and these cuts would make for the perfect rooftop party…

Last time we mentioned Nick Monaco on the blog, it was the first time I had heard of him, and his music had quite the impression on me. It was his “Nick’s Episode” EP from late 2011 that blew my mind. I still rinse those cuts. Mr. Monaco has a really good handle on knockin drums and bass and he’s got quite the taste when it comes to sampling, which…

Hot Creations can do no wrong in my book. Their releases never cease to impress me and the latest one from London producer, Alexis Raphael, holds that same standard. With two original tracks, “Into The Light” and “I Know”, and a solid remix of “Into The Light” from the Hot Natured guys, this EP has something for every occasion. A little softer than the title track, “I Know” is probably…

Rejected Records label boss, Joris Voorn, has released the 6th part of a series of tracks that has been ruling dance floors since 2009. The Dusty House series has featured artists such as, Nic Fanciulli, Adam K, and fellow label mate Edwin Oosterwal. Room 6 marks Voorn’s return to the front desk and proves that the Tech-House guru is ready for Summer. “Spank the Maid” is the raucous 9 minute…

I can’t stop playing this one. All four tracks on this EP are killer. Frank Hellmond is a name that is new to me, although that’s my own fault because the guy’s been producing minimal-techno and house music since 1999. Probably my favorite track of the EP, “French Girl in Manhattan”, features a vocal sample from the 1965 cult classic, Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!. And yes, I did have to…

Released last week off newly coined Moda Black (offshoot of the Moda label), Hot Since 82 does it again with his 2 track Hurt You EP. Both tracks are stellar, although I’ll probably be playing out “Hurt You” more often in my sets as I think it suits the dance floor a little better. That bass line at 2:06 is simply intoxicating and the rest of the track builds perfectly…

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…
