Feel It

Those Modeselektor fellows are such cheeky German fucks. Every time I turn around there's a song I fall in love with, only to find out it's made by those crafty bastards. This shit is so hot you could drop it on Laura Bush's face and she'd graciously thank you.
Modeselektor - Monkey Flip ft. Nazizi & MC Abbas


Boys Noize brings us another huge track. The vocal track really freaks me out but the electro is just so soothing for the bones. I dunno what to say about this guy anymore except that he's the future and may very well be some combination of robot and alien. Look out for the remainder of Housemeister's LP: it's phenomenal and out now.
Housemeister - Music Is Awesome (Boys Noize Remix)


My main man Hatiras gets a super fresh look at this one, maintaining the ravey feel while adding a little house and fidget to the pot and stirring vigorously.
Chuckie, Ambush ft Hardwell - Move It 2 The Drum (Hatiras Remix)


Alright so somebody had better give be shit for this, cause I'm about to post my first ever trance song on Bright Shiny Music. However, I do have good reason, 1)I can't get the vocals out of my head, I've been singing them all day and 2) please refer to the ABSURDLY LOUD NOISES which emit from your speakers at 3:56. I can only imagine this track coming out of a huge sound system, the bass pulsing through you. Not to mention everyone going completely fucking batshit for this track, it's fantastic. God bless Above & Beyond for their tasteful brand of sociopathic trance music.
Above & Beyond - Sun & Moon ft. Richard Bedford (Club Mix)


Swanky Tunes have been churning out the massive festival tracks with such regularity I'm starting to think they're gunning for the Swedish House throne. Although, "Feedback" sounds suspiciously like Daft Punk's "Rollin' and Scratchin'" (and this sounds too much like this), I'm gonna let it slide considering the track absolutely killed when Joachim Garraud dropped it at Ultra in the world-renowned Root Society Dome. Similarly, when Fedde Le Grand dropped "Oh Yeah" in the Carl Cox Tent it was a serious problem... every single person in attendance soiled themselves uncontrollably. Let that be a lesson to you: never rave without a diaper.

The Drought Is Over

Every year around February I find myself wondering where all of the fantastic music I regularly download en masse has gone. But, in the words of the great Lil Wayne, "da drought is ova." As we near WMC 2011, the music will only get better and better.

If you thought the break up was gonna be an issue, think again. Showcasing Vito De Luca's notoriously funky style, this track should be celebrated as a return to form for Aeroplane.
Human League - Never Let Me Go (Aeroplane Remix)


Gregor Salto has impressed me as of late with the massive scale of his progressive house productions, but this one is different. Whoever the Flexican is, he's a fantastic influence on young Gregor, adding a latin flavor to the mix which ultimately turns into an acid trip to the cumbia club.
Gregor Salto, The Flexican - Maldita Cumbia (Original Mix)


I came across Hatiras by chance a few weeks ago whilst browsing beatport and was immediately impressed by his production finesse. This track is halfway between progressive house and electro: a recipe for dance floor success. Just ask Laidback Luke, who's already supporting this banger reminiscent of his remix of MSTRKRFT's "Heartbreaker."
Nu-Gen - Mopho (Hatiras Remix)


This track is huge, fun and makes me think of summer and better times. Well done, Redroche, you've made a dent in my seasonal depression.
Olav Basoski - New Day (Redroche Remix)


Ted Nilsson has touched up Axwell & Bob Sinclar's "What A Wonderful World" just enough. I wasn't too impressed by the original track considering it was made by the combined and prodigious talents of Axwell and Bob Sinclar, but this re-mode thumps and bumps in all the right places.
Axwell & Bob Sinclar - What A Wonderful World ft. Ron Carroll (Ted Nilsson Re-Mode)


Last and most wonderful comes Prince Club. We've been showing these Canadian boys a lot of love recently, and I want you to know this is no mistake. The unique depth of their productions is positively refreshing and if they keep churning out tunes with such consistency I may be forced to create a label just so I can sign them myself.
Prince Club - 303's & 808's


Finally, I had the pleasure of both seeing and speaking with world-class act Avicii last night at the Mid, Chicago so be on the look out for a brand new, exclusive Bright & Shiny interview with Tim Berg himself!
