To the Rhythm

Somehow I just discovered Croatian DJ/Producer Mladen Solomun in the last couple of months. To put it simply, this guy knows what is good. I don’t think I’ve listened to a track of his that I haven’t thoroughly enjoyed. I meant to post some more of his music along with the Noir & Haze remix I posted a few weeks ago, but I couldn’t fit them in. So here are couple more, of what I’m sure will be many, Solomun jams. The first one, a remix of So Phat!, is well, just that: phat. The second is a tech house monster I first heard in a Sven Väth video so you know it’s legit.

I’m back with another Wildkats song. This time the Brits edit Daft Punk’s “Face to Face” off the classic Discovery album. They’re giving it away too, so snag it here.

The Swiss house crusaders, Round Table Knights, never fail to get the people clappin’ on the dance floor. This Monkey Safari remix is surely a testament to that (hint: more cowbell is the secret ingredient). Grab it on beatport tomorrow when it gets released.

It’s been a while since I’ve heard anything from Sharooz, but just yesterday I stumbled upon this new track called Persistence of Time. His typical mayhem infused electro has returned and leaves you wondering why you were just repeatedly smashing your head against the wall. I’m not sure when this track will drop, but I’ll make sure to keep a look out. In the meantime check out our interview with him for an overview of all that is Sharooz.

Earlier this month Treasure Fingers did the mix of the week for Mixmag. It’s a private mix on soundcloud so I can’t share it directly, but do yourself a favor and GET TO IT HERE. Tracklisting is available in the description and you can download it FO’ FREE! If you have any previous experience with the sound of Ashley Jones then you already know what it iz yo. Dive in.

The last song off the Treasure Fingers mix is a Dublin Aunts remix of the Australian band Jubilants. Some great bass lines and guitar riffs in there.

The Most of All Time

It's the middle of finals week at my university and honestly I'm getting absolutely pummeled right now. All I can think about is how much I wish I could just be kicking it somewhere like the picture above, but alas I'm mired in seemingly endless amounts of work. Luckily, LA based producer Urulu has the answer. His newest 'Untitled' EP, which he released for free on monday, is one of the most relaxing, groove-filled things to hit my ears in a long time. Did I mention that it's free? Untitled 01 and Untitled 03 are especially soothing, while Untitled 02 has a bit of a techier edge. They're definitely all worth checking out, and if you like what you hear be sure to send some love over to his Facebook page.

Now for some stuff on the more energetic side of the spectrum, first up I have a recently released Digitalism track that  I haven't been able to get enough of lately. It's Digitalism…remixing Digitalism…and sounding like classic Digitalism. In other words, it's fucking awesome. Recently they'd moved away from their creative approach to electro in favor of a a poppier sound, but this shows them connecting without their glorious 2007-era Idealism roots. Check the whole EP on Beatport for some other dope remixes by Eric Prydz and Jeremy Olander as well.
Download: Digitalism - Circles (Digitalism Remix)


Next up is a pumping remix of Dirty South and Thomas Gold's 'Alive.' I have to be honest I wasn't as crazy about the original track as some people were when it first came out, but DC local Das Nibley takes it to a new level here with a really smooth reworking that starts fast and keeps the energy up all the way until the end. If you like what you hear (which I know you will), make sure to head over to his facebook page to stay up to date on all things Das Nibley.
