Come One

Augustus threw up the deliciously deep Luca Lozano track "Thug It Out" the other day, but my god, the KWS (aka straight-outta-detroit-wonderkid Kris Wadsworth) version is on another level. Wadsworth slows things down to a pulsing 117 BPM and builds from the ground up all the way to the song's conclusion. With a menacing lead synth that can't make me think of anything else but a didgeridoo, everything comes together magnificently around the 4:20 mark, cementing the image of a basement, late-night, illicit rave party in the listener's brain (or at least mine). Stream a snippet below, and check the full EP on beatport.

Still on that deeper tip, this one actually came out in November, but I get the feeling that it slipped under enough radars (including mine) to merit posting. Coming off the Need U Back EP, a collaboration between Andre Crom and Martin Dawson, it's the Homework remix that I favor. The dark, brooding bass-line of the original is good enough, but the added arrpegiated highs and airy atmospherics really set it off. Just another Homework production that I can't stop listening to.

On the much funkier side, disco house duo J Paul Getto have been all up in my iTunes playlists lately with "Imma Let You Know", which samples the classic Black Moon track "Who Got Da Props?", which I think I even posted not too long ago. This one screams "Chicago", and I have no doubt you'll be be jackin' along to that crisp percussion. The breakdown around 3:50 is too good.

And finally, I leave you with a number off of the much acclaimed Machinedrum album Room(s). If you haven't given it a listen yet, you're seriously slacking. It's magnificent. Peep this Resident Advisor review if you don't believe me (they don't hand out 5/5's too idly). "Come1" is the perfect uplifting, uptempo, piano house jam to start your night activities.

If you haven’t heard Oliver $’s Doin’ Ya Thang, get out from under that rock and check it out on Sir Real's post from back in the day. That track sampled vocal cuts from some performances by Detroit’s own, Moodyman, who is probably the realest dude you’ll ever come across, and an iconic figure in the world of house. This first track samples his Red Bull Music Academy interview and is quotable as hell and it meshes perfectly with this dope beat that Homework produced (remix courtesy of Andre Crom & Martin Dawson). If you have the time, I highly suggest you check it out; It’s actually less of him being interviewed than it is just him preaching to the crowd about life and music (word is bond). This second piece of Homework, I came across on youtube of all places and is probably one of the most aptly named songs I’ve heard in a while. If anybody can identify the original song they’re sampling I would be forever indebted to you. Let those dreamy synths wash over you.

To my chagrin, this Danny Daze jaint hasn’t been posted yet, so here it is in all its glory. Probably my favorite song by the man from Miami, it pretty much defines his sound in my eyes (err.. ears). Also, check this hilarious video that features this song and make sure to support him by purchasing it on Beatport. If you find yourself in the D.C. area over Thanksgiving, make sure to pay a visit to U Street Music Hall on the 26th to see this guy drop some knowledge.

I actually happened upon this while searching for the original version. I decided to give it a chance and ended up liking it more than the original so I guess this Katorski guy knows what’s good. It takes a while to develop but wait for the real rhythm to creep in after the two-minute mark.

Needless to say, the Dewaele brothers don’t fuck around. This promo for Radio Soulwax pretty much sums up how we envisioned this project being created. Be sure to look out for Augustus' detailed experience of them and many other stupid-good artists in his upcoming Hard Haunted Mansion review.

Hey Look

Zoe Xenia is a female vocalist and producer from the Netherlands.  She has been releasing beautiful tech/deep house music since 2007 on Suara and her latest EP, You Got Me Started, is a shining example of her cultivated talents.  After listening through the EP a few times, I singled out the hypnotic Catz & Dogz (aka 3channels) remix as my favorite.  This Polish duo is not one to be overlooked.  Check it out below.

Swedish wonder boy, Axel Boman, brings you a dreamy remix of Agaric's 'No Way I Know I Feel'.  The vocal loop pretty much describes how I feel about this track right now.  Lay back and enjoy the waves of lounge house pleasure that will caress your body.

Next up is a new track from one of my current favorites, Oliver.  This is a remix they did for Sneaky Sound System's new single, 'Big', and I could not be more pleased about this pair up.  Oliver has just been killing it with remixes lately.  In case you missed it, be sure to give their remix of Roman a listen as well (free download below).

Dayum I love me some promo action.

PIE Artists sent this little sneak peak of Prince Club's Ice-T EP the other day. It drops in two days on Jesse Rose's own Made To Play label which houses other Bright & Shiny favorites like Round Table Knights, Riva Starr, and Oliver $. I've been pushing these Canadian house maestros ever since I heard tracks like "Love Jackson" and "Buddy Holly", and the upcoming EP fits right in with that signature sound: a distinct old-school vibe with a modern gloss. The title track definitely jumped out at me the post, so I'll throw a little preview of it below. Be sure to check out the full release come July 11th people.

I really can't tell you much about Rogue Vogue other than that, as his soundcloud mentions, he hails from Chicago and he makes beautiful beautiful music. "Sunshine'n" grabbed my attention immediately with its choice vocal sample and delectable piano hits. As the name suggests, this one is perfect to jam to in the summer sun, but I would encourage its use at any time of day really. Everbody loves the sunshine.

If that one didn't satisfy your need for groovy downtempo house music, this next one should do it. Dutch duo Homework's "Rally Racquet Club" EP dropped back in late June, but it's certainly not too late to get on board with these guys and their brand of slow burning house goodness. The title track steals the show with a bassline riff that'll embed itself in your head for days, but with remixes from the likes of Oliver $ and Samim, the entire release (again on Made to Play) is one worth two looks, so check it out, buy it out, and play it out, here. Made to Play is on its game right now, that's for sure.

Homework - Rally Racquet Club

This one's all the way back from 2010, but I just heard it for the first time in a mix and decided it would be criminal for you all not to have a listen if you don't have it already. A1 Bassline kills it with this one, that's all I'm going to/have the effort to say.

I haven't posted a hyuge bangor in a while, but a friend alerted me to this one the other day and I was pleasantly surprised. Well, not really pleasantly, because the song is absolutely terrifying, but terrifying in the best way possible. Hold on to those bowels people.
