Make That Megapost Clap

It's been a slow week here on radio Bright & Shiny, but no worries, we're back here in full effect with good tunes, sunny vibes and a megapost of epic proportions. I say sunny vibes cause it's a beautiful day here in southern california and all I can find myself listening to is appropriately chilled down music. It is thursday, though, so mixed in with the chill is some measured insanity to aid you this weekend. Don't say we didn't tell you so.

Norwegian Todd Terje is in a class of his own. Support the man and grab this masterpiece off beatport. (Also make sure you've checked out Ragysh/Snooze 4 Love from last year if you managed to sleep that hard)

Fresh off the recent dirtybird Hatched pt 2 compilation, this one is sure to.. well.. make that booty clap. Seriously though, drop this on any dance floor, and pandemonium is guaranteed to ensue. The hip hop breakdown at 2:35 is killer as well.

The name says it all on this one

Classic Zeds Dead that still hits the spot every time.

Honestly this track is too good. Noir has been killing it lately, both with his label and his own tracks. Simply put, this is tech house in its most mischievous, late-night form. Just a warning, this one is prone to finding its way to packed dance floors at 5am. Grab the full release on beatport.

Slowed down, Hip Hop vibes from German beatsmiths Modeselektor.

More big room sounds. Anyone remember this blast from the past from Chris Lake and Michael Woods?
download: Chris Lake and Michael Woods - Dominos (Orignal Mix)



This song was co-written by Boys Noize. I'll let you decide.




Speaking of Boys Noize, he and Mr. Oizo have officially teamed up to create the electro tech supergroup Handbraekes and will be releasing a 4 song EP. My personal favorite off the EP is the absolutely ludicrous bomb "Callgurls". The full release is still a while away, but you can grab a preview quality below to tide you over until then.

Hedonistic party collective/illuminati affiliates The Well are having their first warehouse party of the year in LA this weekend. You'd be a fool not to be there. RSVP here

Dub Like A Child

Found this one on the suggestion of a producer friend of mine who consistently seems to have spot on taste. The percussion here is impeccable. Long live Scuba.
Download: Scuba - Adrenaline (Original Mix)



The B side of Maya Jane Coles' recent "Don't Put Me In Your Box" EP, Dub Child shows Maya Jane at her absolute best. A track that's at once deep enough to suck you in and bubbly enough to keep you dancing for hours, Dub Child is a keeper for sho. Be sure to grab the whole EP on beatport, since the other 3 tracks are equally as quality.
Download: Maya Jane Coles - Dub Child (Original Mix)



Globus is a song I've been meaning to post for a while now. Off of SCNTST's debut release on Boys Noize Records, it's a track that really encapsulates the youngster's unique sound (dude is 17). Boys Noize himself once described SCNTST's emerging style as "that new german juke" - I'm not quite sure what this means, but after listening to this track I'm sure you'll agree that's what it sounds like.

Alive

This is the second track by Blende that I've put up in two straight posts and if you think that's a coincidence... well.. it's not. This dude is carving out a really distinct and catchy sound for himself and it's definitely got him on my list of producers to look for to break out in 2012. This remix of Adrian Lux's recent single 'Alive' features the same sort of energizing hands-in-the-air electro that he used on his Worldwide remix, and if I had to sum it up in an analogy I'd say it's basically the type of song that if you heard it while you were driving it'd make you want to floor the gas and start singing along at the top of your lungs.. so uh, grab it below and you've been warned, maybe don't play this one around any sketchy drivers. Or do.
Download: Adrian Lux feat. The Good Natured - Alive (Blende Remix)



This Michael Woods track came out last year, but if you managed to sleep on it as hard as I did and have never heard it before then you're definitely going to want to give it a listen. I have no idea what kind of synth he's using on this, but it's retardedly dope - almost like a dubstep wobble, but with more of a big room edge to it. Certified fire fo yo ears.
Download: Michael Woods - No Access (Original Mix)


If you're not familiar with Viceroy yet, well, you are now. Hailing from Los Angeles, California, the dude has been exporting the sunshine state vibes worldwide with his party soaked remixes and originals. His tracks scream 'summer' so loud they almost feel like they were made at a pool party... for a pool party. 'Beach Bum' for instance, is a track that basically does what those corona commercials falsely advertise that drinking corona does. You know, when you open a corona and are suddenly on a beach.. honestly how many times has that happened to you? I'm pretty sure I've drinken like a million coronas and have yet to find myself suddenly in the caribbean. But try listening to this track and you will actually find yourself on a beach somewhere, even if a minute ago you thought you were in a snowstorm in mongolia. Seriously, there's a reason this guy's motto is "summertime all the time".
Download: Viceroy - Beach Bum (Original Mix)


*** After the success of our last show with Fare Soldi, we're proud to announce that we're teaming up with our homies over at Upside Sounds again and bringing Viceroy himself to EXO Lounge in the great city of St Louis. If you're anywhere near STL you're not gonna want to miss out on this one, cause Viceroy will be bringin' the summertime funk while Bright & Shiny's own PK lays down some sultry opening beats. For all the info be sure to head over to the Facebook Event page. If ya don't know, now ya know.




Our good buddy Zooash released his '6am edits' collection recently and, like you could probably guess, he's taken a bunch of already great songs and refurbished them for some serious afterhours dancefloor power. My personal favorite is this ethereal reworking of Digitalism's Stratosphere, but be sure to check out the full collection of 6am edits here. Also, if you're missing out on your daily dose of thumping techno be sure to revisit the essential mix he did for us, it's some serious heat.

Sir Real

Mondays Are For Monster Mash

Mondays... back from the untamed wilderness of the weekend to the responsibilities and commitments of real life. Or at least that's what it seems like... However, after years of research and clinical trials, I've discovered a fool-proof method for making sure that, as Soulwax says, "part of the weekend never dies". This method consists of finding the biggest and baddest tracks around, and then proceeding to assault your eardrums with them at the loudest possible volume. If employed correctly, the result should be somewhere between a decent boost and the inability to stop moving your body like you're caught in some sort of tribalistic dance circle.


This first song has been dropped recently by big names like Crookers and Felix Cartel, and it looks as if it's about to be one of the biggest songs of the fall. Antidote is a gem straight out of sweden with a drum pattern strobey enough to send an epileptic into a seizure.


Style of Eye & Magnus - Antidote



Kids At The Bar have done a reworking of the new Deadmau5 & Wolfgang Gartner single Animal Rights, and it's simply out of this world.
Deadmau5 & Wolfgang Gartner - Animal Rights (Kids At The Bar Edit)



Magnetic Man have been making a lot of noise with their recent self-titled LP. Up first we have a Steve Angello Remix that's absolutely massive... the buildup takes about two minutes, but the drop is well worth it. Angello seems to have a knack for putting together the most epic synth lines known to man. The second is a Bright & Shiny approved track off of Magnetic Man's new album that comes at the request of one of our loyal fans Stephanie.

Up next, some jungly and bangin' progressive house from even more swedish djs
Jerry Ropero & Denis The Menace Ft. Jaqueline - Coracao (Sandro Monte & Andres Cabrera Remix)



Los Angeles' response to Dada Life, Religion have been one of my favorite up-and-coming acts for a while now. Known for their monstrous remixes and energy packed live sets, Religion have done it again with this genre-defying reinterpretation of M.I.A.'s Steppin Up.
M.I.A. - Steppin' Up (Religion Remix)



We warned you that we might have to keep throwing up remixes from Martin Solveig's world-shattering Hello EP. Michael Woods effort here is nothing short of incredible, so I'd feel remise if i didn't share it with you.
Martin Solveig feat. Dragonette - Hello (Michael Woods Remix) 



Let me start of by saying that Uffie is pretty awesome. For whatever reason though, halfway decent remixes of her can be hard to find sometimes. Which is strange, considering she's on French super label Ed Banger. Far Too Loud have done here what few others have managed to do, putting together an Uffie remix that's entirely worth listening to.
Uffie - MCs Can Kiss (Far Too Loud Refix)



HOMEWORK
This is probably the only time you will ever see me post dubstep. Unless i keep hearing stuff like this, that is. Bassnectar manages to blend the stylings of dubstep with the rhythm hip-hop into something wholly irresistible known  as Dub Hop.

Just for fun..
