Glassed

I actually meant to post this a ways back, but it must have slipped my mind. Coming off of the absurdly massive Miami Noize 2 compilation on BNR, "Glass" combines that frenetic techno sound we all know D.I.M. & Tai bring to the table with an almost funky melody.
D.I.M. & Tai - Glass (Original Mix)








John Poincarre is a name I've just recently come across, and given that his website is entirely in French, I don't know too much about him. What I've gathered though is that he know a thing or two about making fine ass disco house, as proven by "Get Up, Yeah!" whose sample you may recognize from Foamo's "Generate Some Heat".

Boston duo and Bright & Shiny hall of famers Nightriders can do no wrong, it seems. This recent remix they did for Cassian has it all, knocking drums, a catchy vocal sample, and quirky synths that build into a drop of one of their signature groovy basslines.

Poolside's "Do You Believe" is the perfect song with which to welcome some warmer weather and more sun: a slow, light-hearted romp with hints of an 80's vibe and a sing-along chorus that you'll be glad you can't get out of your head. Also check out the James Curd remix on beatport, he kills it.

New Dada Life released today. Though I find the vocals a little too cheesy, no doubt this one hits hard. Support it on the beatportal.

Now, if you're like Patrick and myself and you missed out on all the Ultra festivities this year (again) or you just want to re-live the experience, check out pretty high quality recordings of sets from Afrojack, Avicii, and other big acts at beatmyday.com. Thanks to Khiz for the heads up on that.

Pigs


Ayooo.

Gonna start things off tonight with a funk filled romp through disco space, courtesy of Chicago resident James Curd. This one sports a fat bassline and some cheery synths that'll get you groovin'.

More disco-type goodness, this time from the badass French duo Beataucue. This track was featured on the Kitsuné Maison 10 Compilation, which you can purchase here. It's got the vocal chops and filtering of a great french house tune, but with a very digital feel that works out really well.
Bonus Beataucue! This one goes in the complete opposite direction. It's a real bangaaa'.

Next up, typical Dutch madness from Sidney Samson on the Far East Movement and Roger Sanchez collaboration "2gether". Never thought I'd hear the likes of a "Love shack" sample in a Sidney Samson remix.

I'll leave you all with a preview of a new Deadmau5 track that he released via soundcloud a few days ago that's already racked up over 32,000 plays. Really it's just a long 3:00 minute buildup, but it's pretty damn nuts. I'm definitely curious to see where he takes the rest of the track.
