Friday Selection

For all those late nights, early mornings and every bit of ridiculousness in between, we got a bit of everything comin' at you for this weekend's playlist.

Progressive / Big Room
First up this new Mat Zo is completely banging from start to finish. The young Above & Beyond protege has shown glimpses of greatness before, such as on last year's bomb of a track 'Superman' but this new Bipolar EP really shows him maturing as a producer into a certified baller.  Each track has its own vibe, but they all feature a common balance between melodic progressive elements and heavy hitting drops; a combination that adds up to dancefloor gold. My personal two favorites are Ring On It and the title track Bipolar, but honestly the whole EP is worth your money, check out the previews below:




A classic from Adam K and Soha, this one is right at the top of my list of all time favorite late-night  tracks. All I can say is gorgeous.
download: Adam K & Soha - Twilight (Original Mix)



Simple in the best way possible, this next track is a straightforward hands-in-the-air anthem reminiscent of some of avicii's best.
download: Ehrencrona - This Is So Good (Original Mix)



Tommy Trash x Moguai = big room madness
download: Moguai & Tommy Trash - In N' Out (Original Mix)



Cali duo No Body continuing to get better and better as their tracks seem to be getting bigger and bigger.
download: Mercer - Vaquesso (No Body Remix)



Bonus time:
download: Mark Knight, Adam K, Soha - From The Speaker (Original Club Mix)



download: Atrocite - Only You feat. Mque (Deniz Koyu Remix)



download: Sebastian Drums & Avicii - My Feelings For You (Angger Dimas Bambu Remix)



The Deep End
Somebody suggested this track to me the other day, and let me say it is the ABSOLUTE JAM. I know it's not brand new so some of you might already have it, but for those of you who don't i recommend downloading it before you even finish reading this paragraph. The way it builds over the 7 minutes from the throbbing bass-filled beat at the start into the piano splashed anthem status at the end is utterly incredible.
download: Dj Nibc - The Doorman (Casino Times Remix)



Sultry, midnight deepness - play at your own caution, this track has been known to promote total irresponsibility wherever it finds itself hopping out of speakers.
download: Will Crawshaw & Matt Fear - Just One (Original Mix)



Melodic deep house + UK bass is pretty much a guarenteed recipe for success in our book. Londoners No Artificial Colours doing big tings on this one.
download: No Artificial Colours - Love Box (Original Mix)



I was recently suggested Rodriguez Jr. by a friend, and upon checking him out every single track I've heard by him is absolutely amazing. This remix of the newest Tiger Stripes EP shows the hypnotic, incredibly-well-produced allure of his sound. Definitely a dude to pay attention to in the future.
download: Tiger Stripes - Glorified (Rodriguez Jr. Remix)



BONUSRIGUEZ
download: Rodriguez Jr. & Cari Golden - Music Don't Lie (Original Mix)



download: Pan-Pot - Captain My Captain (Rodriguez Jr. Remix)



Everything Else Under The Sun
A funkin' throwback remix of Chromeo by Lifelike. Reminds me a lot of Grum.
download: Chromeo - Needy Girl (Lifelike Remix)



A classic remix of Jori Hulkkonen. I've always found the pulsing synth work here coupled with the surrealist vocal performance completely addictive.
download: Jori Hulkkonen - I Am Dead (Who Made Who Remix)



We don't often post rap, so when we do you should know there's a reason we're doing it: it's really good. That's the case with this next one which we got in our mailbox a couple weeks back. The beat is money and this dude has a pretty addictive flow, check him out, dudes about to blow up: Ramaj Eroc
download: Ramaj Eroc - For The Love (Feat Poncho) [Prod by Evelution]



Similar to the rap, we don't post much dubstep unless we find it particularly good. For some reason I'm really digging this Gosteffects & Rule of Eight remix.
download: Imogen Heap - Just For Now (Gosteffects & Rule of Eight "I'm God" Remix)



Is there a song Lone has ever made that's not been mind-blowingly good?
download: Lone - Risttowe (Original Mix)



New Deadmau5. It's catchy, you like it.
download: Deadmau5 - Maths (Original Mix)



Blende continues to impress here. All of his songs have a way of carefully building from a simple element in the beginning into a frenzy of addictive high energy electro. One of my favorite up-and-comers right now for sure.
download: Douze - Eternity's Call Back (Blende Remix)



Stay Classy,
Augustus

Blisspop & Red Fridays Present: Fred Falke & Lifelike TOMORROW


WASHINGTON, DC-- Tomorrow night at U Street Music Hall, Blisspop & Red Fridays Present Fred Falke & Lifelike in their DC debut.  You'd be a fool to pass this one up.

And guess what?  The first person to tag our facebook page in their status wins a FREE pair of tickets for the show!

Come out for what is sure to be a glorious night of uplifting nu-disco vibes - but don't just take our word for it:

Blisspop and Red Fridays presents the D.C. debut of Fred Falke and Lifelike with an opening set from Volta Bureau’s Micah Vellian. Since the release of “Intro,” a collaboration between Fred Falke and long-time partner Alan Braxe, Falke has become a worldwide staple within the sounds of French house and nu-disco. From 2000-2008, Falke and Braxe became two of the most in-demand producers and remixers; taking on projects from Jamiroquai, Goldfrapp, Kelis and Justice. As a solo producer, artist and DJ, Falke has continued to push the French touch sound re-working tracks for La Roux, Lykke Li, U2, Gossip and Little Boots.

Lifelike’s first release “The Soul Of My Love” (2001) landed him a spot releasing tracks through one of the biggest Parisian underground labels, Vulture. From there, his 2005 release, “Discopolis” was one of the biggest underground sellers of 2005; entering the official U.K. Top 40 that summer and earned remixes from Chris Lake, Kerri Chandler and Alan Braxe. Remixing for the likes of Moby, Chromeo, Empire Of The Sun and Chromeo and regularly appearing in the set lists of Thomas Bangalter, Lifelike has been rightfully celebrated as one of the most talented producers out of France.
