Don't Go

It's Friday. We so excited.

So I was droppin by Wolfgang Gartner's facebook page the other day and happened upon this massive, technically unreleased bootleg. Apparently, he left a CD at a show a while back. I guess someone happened upon it, popped it into their computer, pressed play, and immediately decided it needed to be spread to all reaches of the globe via the internet. Good choice.







"Together", the result of a collaboration between two absolute legends of the house/french house scene DJ Falcon and Thomas Bangalter, is the quintessential feel good house track. It's quite timeless, and if you don't have it somewhere in your music library, you best educate yo'self. Le Castle Vania and Computer Club recently gave it a little sprucing up, adding in some electric synth-work and a little extra punch. Though I prefer the original, there's no doubt that this one's quality. Here's to the summer.







TWR72, aka The Walk & Rogerseventytwo dropped this bad boy earlier, presumably in anticipation of the release of the their next EP. Classsic 90's piano rave stabs and vocals throughout, with an acid bassline that kicks in about halfway.







Aussie house up and comers Light Year did a post for GDD the other day that I was more than happy to check out. Among some other choice tunes, they put up this one from Oliver $. This is a serious old school vibin' groove-tune; it's simple, but entirely captivating and is guaranteed to get your head bobbing. My only problem with it is that the vocal sample kinda take away from the rest of the song at parts...but that's why there's a dub version.







Boys Noize Records first label compilation, BNR Records Vol. 1 dropped on beatport earlier this May; I strongly recommend checking it out. It's chock-full of great tunes, including a couple from PUZIQUe, the musical marriage of Boys Noize himself and D.I.M. "Don't Go" happens to be one of those tracks, a song that I'd forgotten, but after some revisiting, continue to love as much as ever. Jam.

Also, be on the lookout for some mixes I'll be throwin' up here in the near future. Have a Bright & Shiny weekend everybody.

The Cool Kids are Doing it


Mid-terms... woo yeah awesome great super splendid grand. I love studying a lot for things I don't care about at all. If I didn't have a constant stream of new electro music to listen to, I don't think I could make it through this extended period of indentured servitude they call college.


So a while back, I was really against getting a twitter account. All of these social networking websites are overwhelming and there are times when I want to run away into the forest and never return... but alas, I have been repeatedly rewarded with great tunes directly from artist's twitter accounts. Today's example is an absolutely swell new Tepr remix of Jamaica's Jericho. Much like literally everything Tepr does, I love it and so should you. I'm getting some Justin Faust vibes on this one.
Jamaica - Jericho (Tepr Remix)








This disco gem comes hot off the presses from Soundcloud. Oliver is a tag team combo of disco house masters U-Tern and Oligee. I think I speak for everyone everywhere when I say that this is a match made in heaven. Lovely funk side chained kick, grimey bass synth, bright and shiny synth lines floating over top of a Chromeo-esque vocoder vocals. Yum.
Juan Atkins - Dayshift (Oliver's Nightshift Remix)








I mean... it's Tensnake. Always spot on with his remixes. This one isn't the most exciting thing in the world, but as usual he brings the heat. I'm not sure if you needed more funk in your diet after that last one... but here it is.
Lissie - When I'm Alone With You (Tensnake Remix)








Nu disco wizard Odahl strikes again. Futurecop! + Odahl = the 1980's. I dare you to remain stationary for this number.
Futurecop! (Feat. Keenhouse) - Dreams (Odahl Remix)








Uploaded two days ago by Heavenly Recordings, this remix is very mellow and down tempo. Dicky Trisco's dub take on Ghandi, the first single taken from Emma & Mia's debut album, Love and Nature. Enjoy the good vibes.
LCMDF - LCMDF (DT Heavenly Dub)
