Bright & Shiny Exclusive: Interview with Eats Everything

 Since his track "Entrance Song" appeared prominently in Maya Jane Coles' Essential Mix last summer, Eats Everything (real name Dan Pearce) has taken the dance music world by storm. In that same year, Pearce saw his very own entry onto the shortlist for Essential Mix of the year, followed by numerous releases on a list of labels which reads much the same as a list of our favorites might: Dirtybird, Pets, Defected, Get Physical, Nurvous, Hypercolour, Futureboogie, and most recently on Jaymo & Andy George's fledgling imprint, Moda Black.  2011 was a good year for a man who is as down to earth and amiable as his music is smashing, and 2012 is looking even better, with the release of his subtle, Dr. Dre-inspired track "Jagged Edge" still topping charts two months after its release. We had a chance to sit down with Eats Everything this past March following an appearance at the legendary Get Lost in Miami to discuss everything from an upcoming collaboration with Disclosure, to mixing at 118 beats per minute, and male ejaculation.

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.

Wait, it's already thursday?

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

dirtybird Residency at U Street Music Hall ft. Justin Martin & Ardalan 11.17.11

WASHINGTON, D.C.-- Listen up. Tomorrow night, dirtybird Records takes over U Street Music Hall with some of those bouncy, bass-infused house sounds that have made the San Francisco based label so famous. This is the beginning of a beautiful union, as tomorrow night inaugurates a quarterly dirtybird residency at U Hall: something we here at Bright & Shiny have been incredibly excited about since its announcement. Beats come courtesy of house heavyweight Justin Martin and recently-signed whiz kid Ardalan. [Dirtybird head-honcho] Claude Von Stroke's set at U Hall this past summer was one of the best nights in recent memory, and I assure that tomorrow night is not to be missed.  Details and bonus bass after the jump.
