Back To The Beat That Repeats | Megapost

FUTURE/TECHNO
I've basically been tracking down all the most demented, Gesaffelstein-eque future techno that I can get my hands on recently, and one really intriguing artist I've come across in the process is Oblast. This release by them is diabolical and thumping in all the ways that make it entirely appropriate for a dark & lazer-filled room somewhere at 4AM. Check out the full 'ACT 1' EP on beatport: released by Mikix The Cat's Parisian-based ADD Cat imprint.

An epic 13 minute techno masterpiece here, straight from the brain of Detroit's resident mad scientist Carl Craig.
download: Cut Copy - Need You Now (Carl Craig Remix)






All you need to know: I grabbed this bad boy of a track from the Gesaffelstein mix above. Bass + Techno =
download: Bubba - We Need A Break (Original Mix)



Up next are two really good Scissor Sister remixes I've acquired recently, but I haven't been able to decide which one is better. Right now I'm leaning towards the Boys Noize effort, those super sharp synths that wash across the track at around 3:30 are Boys Noize at his electro-tech best.
download: Scissor Sisters - Invisible Light (Boys Noize Remix)



download: Scissor Sisters - Only The Horses (Brodinski Remix)



Off of that free Alex Metric EP that he released a month or two ago, this one is a track that I dig more and more every new time I hear it. 'Rave Weapon' collides elements of UK Bass with rapid fire 90s rave stabs and Metric's own impeccably clean production skills.. what more could you ask for?
download: Alex Metric - Rave Weapon (Original Mix)





download: Sound Pelligrino Thermal Team \ Tony Senghore - Bassface (Tony Senghore Remix)




GET DEEP AND FREAK
Hot Since 82 continues to make a name for himself as a deep house magician capable of crafting all sorts of weird late night shenanigan inducing soundwaves. This remix of Chris James is simply next level.
download: Chris James - Nothing Else Matters (Hot Since 82)



Amine Edge impresses us more and more with every new production. This one.. well.. KNOCKS.
download: Spf 5000 - Doorknocker (Amine Edge & DANCE Remix)






Beautiful and funkadelic at the same time, this John Johr dub is a straight up anthem.. I'm in love. From one of our favorite labels around, Culprit LA.
download: Lee Curtiss - Candy feat. Matt Tolfrey (John Johr Dub)



download: Miami Ice - The Way You (Original Mix)



Chris James (1/2 of Coat of Arms alongside Eats Everything) is a dude we've been watching develop for a while now, and this 'retwist' shows him really coming into his own as a producer. this track is an absolute BOMB, and all we can say is we can't wait to see what the dude cooks up next. Find Chris on facebook and beatport.
download: Markus Anthony - Distant Memory (Chris James Retwist)



Old School (think: +5 years old) driving and brooding Dubfire at the pinnacle of what makes his sound so addicting. The breakdown from 3:45-5:00 is pretty much guaranteed to bring the house down any time during any set anywhere in the world...
download: Unkle - Hold My Hand (Dubfire Remix)



One of my favorite tracks from this entire post. That lead synth/bass line is so simple yet incredibly effective at the same time.
download: Nobody Knows - Hundred Trys (Original Mix)



Ghetto Kraviz is a track we've been in love with for a while now. Along with Nina Kraviz. When Jamie Jones dropped this edit of her anthem at Ultra this year though, it was waaaay fatter than we ever could have imagined. On the right sound system (aka a really fucking loud one), the bass here is simply out of control. Go to right before the 4:00 minute mark to get a feel for where Jamie mixed in and how banging the bass was; the track really takes off from there.
download: Nina Kraviz - Ghetto Kraviz (Amine Edge Edit)



Another track where the bass gets more and more devastating the louder you play it, this one is some top notch deepness from one of my favorite labels Gruuv. The Audiojack remix is money as well, check the full release on Beatport.
download: S.K.A.M. - Rush Hour (Original Mix)






H.O.S.H. is another dude who I've gotten super into lately, pretty much everything his name is attached to is guaranteed to be D.O.P.E.
download: Adultnapper - Idiot Fair feat. Black Light Smoke (H.O.S.H. And The Deer Dub)



Bouncing tech house straight outa 2008. Booty Shake Weapon.
download: Worthy - Work The Walls (Magik Johnson's Shake The Walls Remix)



Bonus
These next two don't really fit into either of the two categories above, but are nonetheless quite fresh in their own right. 'Sex' is sleazy electrofunk at it's most chilled out, while the Wax Motif effort is just a bit of really solid electro.
download: Slugabed - Sex (Original Mix)



download: Chromeo - Night By Night (Wax Motif Remix)







Stay Classy,

After Hours Club For Profligates

This first track is a really gorgeous collaboration between German singer/songwriter Coni and the Swedish beatmaker Hakan Ludvigson. Somewhere between late night progressive house and straight up deepness, this one is sublime and amazing in all the right ways. And far too short at just under 5 minutes.
download: Hakan Ludvigson, Coni - Goodbye feat. Coni (Original Mix)



Off the wall, Caribbean tribalist freaky gonzo style dutchness. I can't think up enough superlatives to describe this one. FAT.
download: Bassjackers & Apster - Klambu (Original Mix)



5AM bass in your face with Nina Kraviz. Been on this one for a while but I guess she's just releasing the music video now in the run up to her debut album release. Grab the mix and be sure to watch the freaky/hypnotic video below.
download: Nina Kraviz - Ghetto Kraviz (Original Mix)

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)
download: Todd Terje - Inspector Norse (Original Mix)



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.
download: Kill Frenzy - Booty Clap



The name says it all on this one
download: Notorious B.I.G. - Going Back to Cali (Viceroy "Jet Life" Remix)



Sunshine grooves straight from the legendary island itself
download: Larse - The More I Want (Eivissa Edit)



Deep, tropical house  courtesy of the lovely Nina Kraviz and the video below.
download: SCSI-9 - Summariata (Pablo Bolivar Remix)






Classic Zeds Dead that still hits the spot every time.
download: Zeds Dead - Coffee Break (Original Mix)



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.
download: Noir & Richard Davis - Found Out (Original Mix)  *Highly Recommended



Slowed down, Hip Hop vibes from German beatsmiths Modeselektor.
download: Modeselektor - Berlin feat. Miss Platinum



Wait, it's already thursday?
download: Jerry Rekonius - Powahbunga (Original Mix)



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.
download: Handbraekes - Callgurls (Original Mix)



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
