Miami Survival Pack // Megapost

We've been slacking pretty hard lately, but I hope you ate your wheaties this morning because in preparation for Miami Music Week/Ultra we've got a megapost coming at you today that's literally so dumb it's clinically retarded. It is Miami after all right? I think that means we're kind of obligated to start with the biggest, most off the wall stuff.

TECHNOOOOOOOO. This newest release on Brodinski's Bromance imprint is insanely fat. Expect to hear this one devastating dancefloors inside the tents during some of the techier sets at Ultra this year. Needless to say, Pipes is a dude who you should pay attention to from now on.

It should go without saying, but make sure you crank the bass up to 11 on this one. Cue face melting circa the 2 minute mark. Release from the homies over at GND Records.

Underground Sound
If you guys didn't eat your wheaties this morning, maybe you had some Cocaine and Ketamine instead? I hear either one counts as nourishment in Miami... In all seriousness (listen to the song and you'll understand), I'm excited to introduce you to the anthem for every basement in Miami this year. The long awaited "You and I" (better known as "Cocaine and Ketamine") by Fur Coat is out now on crosstown rebels.
download: Fur Coat - You and I



Light Year's newest release shows them going in a much more underground, deep house direction, and frankly it was a beautiful decision. I could eat this bassline for days. Sexy, 5AM vibes.
download: Light Year - Moderation (Original Mix)



This song is THE jam. Turn your speakers to full blast and listen to the little break after 1:30 to understand what I'm talking about. The only possible way this song could be cooler was if she was actually saying "Shots are on the house"... free shots are nice
download: Tensnake - Around The House (DJ T.'s 2011 Edit)



French Fries with some bass filled heat from dirtybird. Sidebar, I'm still waiting for patrick to learn how to do the Vogue like he says he's gonna. Will he pull it off in Miami? Tune in this time next week to find out.
download: French Fries - Yo Vogue (Original Mix)



download: DJ Glen - Bone System (Click Click's Neon White Mix)



I was waiting a long time for this remix EP to come out on the LA deep house label Culprit, and, well, it's finally out... AND IT'S AWESOME. Konrad Black puts in a supreme deep house cut here alongside a slew of other megafresh remixes. Make sure you check the whole thing out on Beatport.
download: Subb-an - What I Do (Konrad Black's "What I Did To You" Mix)



After the After-Afterparty
Some tracks for those late nights/surreal mornings when youre just trying to recuperate and relax. What better thing for that than some spacious amazing progressive house? This throwback by Inpetto always hits the spot.
download: Fragma - Toca Me (Inpetto 2008 Remix)



download: Benny Benassi feat. Channing - Come Fly Away (Adam K & Soha Remix)



Super chill remix by the legendary discomaster Greg Wilson that I randomly came across on a compilation by a label called Bear Funk Records. I definitely recommend checking out their "Hibernation" compilation series (which this track came off of), its some disco fuego.
download: Social Disco Club & Maia - The Way You Move (Greg Wilson Version)



Everything In Between
When Ed Banger's SebastiAn puts out a new track or remix, for me it's always a question of which SebastiAn is going to show up. Good SebastiAn (like Embody), or bad painfully-overdistorted SebastiAn (like on pretty much his entire album). Luckily here we have a perfect example of good SebastiAn. A friend of mine best summed it up to me recently when he said "it's almost like this is what Justice was trying to do on their most recent album...and failed miserably at". Either way, this song rocks.
download: The Shoes - Time To Dance (SebastiAn Remix) *Highly Recommended



download: Helvetic Nerds - Mistaken Identity (Incognet Remix)



One of my first memories of falling in love with a piece of music was on a road trip at summer camp when I was maybe 12 or 13, and the older counselers who were driving us played the same Talking Heads CD in the van over and over, and in particular the song "This Must Be The Place" and by a couple hours in everyone was belting all the words to the song at the top of their lungs. That little antidote is only relevant cause that awesome song gets an awesome remix effect here, with Anna Lunoe turning it into a nice little bit of sun splashed house.
download: Cari Kennedy & Goodwill (Talking Heads cover) - Home (Anna Lunoe Remix)



And last but not least, some Soulwax is always the basis of a healthy diet. (this is kind of just a testament to me being crazy excited to see 2manydjs again at Ultra this year...you should be too)
download: Walter Murphy - A Fifth Of Beethoven (Soulwax Edit)



Stay Classy,

Darling it's Better, Down Where it's Wetter

HEY! Long time no see... I've been the laziest blogger ever lately. I would say I've been super busy with school, but that would be kind of misleading. I've actually just been so demoralized from the all the work that I'm neglecting to do that the guilt prevented me from accomplishing anything, even things that I love (like such as: music blogging). ANYways, I'm back and I'm here to bring you the best tunes from around the worrrrrlllld. Enjoy your weekend; for me.

I'm totally late on this one, but it really really deserves to get praised. La Bombe's own Stockholm duo, Blende, recently came out with a killer EP that features two originals and one awesome remix. The first track, featured below, is a really neat electro thumper. The song continuously evolves throughout; starting out very Siriusmo-esque and sprinkling in some beautiful Daft Punk influences, eventually culminating in an extremely well rounded track that has been on repeat for weeks. Just head on over to beatport and buy this whole EP for your own sake.

Blende - Egypto by La Bombe

The next track on the EP features a very vocoder Chromeo sounding vocal line that just oozes funk. Nu disco vibes all over the place on this one. That bass synth that comes in around 1:04 is great, it really gives the track some momentum. I'm pretty confident that based on the well executed diversity that Blende has presented with this EP, they are on the up and up (and up).

Blende - One-Sided by La Bombe

Lastly, the Louis La Roche remix. How could you not love this guy. Keeping much of the integrity of the original, LLR shakes things up a bit and turns this one into pure French touch gold. Disco for the win.

Blende - One Sided (Louis La Roche Innovation) by La Bombe

Bonus:

Flight Facilities + Holy Ghost! couldn't POSSIBLY disappoint.

Holy Ghost! - Wait & See (Flight Facilities Remix)

This is an old ass track, but for me (and I hope for you), SebastiAn never ever gets boring. That synth that comes in at the beginning is orgasmic. Get yourself a good pair of headphones or speakorz for this beaut.

Klaxons - Golden Skaans (SebastiAn version 1.2.0 Remix)

The only complaint I have for this great remix is: TOO SHORT

Santigold - I'm a Lady (Benny Blanco Remix)

Love, Patrick

Embodiment

It's Saturday night, so let's get right down to it.

The good guys over at the Justin Faust camp were kind enough to send us this remix package to share with you all containing Fare Soldi's take on Faust's "Sloppy Chic" and two mixes of "Your Life" from Super Mal and Italo Brutalo. You guys know how Fare Soldi brings it, but I'm really digging Super Mal's version as well. Check out all three below.
Justin Faust - Your Life (Super Mal Remix)


Justin Faust - Your Life (Italo Brutalo Remix)


Justin Faust - Sloppy Chic (Fare Soldi Remix)


There have been quite a few stabs taken at Chilly Gonzales' "You Can Dance", including one from Fare Soldi that we gave a whole lotta love, so there's a chance some of you have overlooked Robotaki's remix. Trust me, it's right up there with Fare Soldi's as the best of the bunch. This young Canadian is churning out killer remix after remix, so you'd be doing yourself a favor if you kept an eye out for his releases.
Chilly Gonzales - You Can Dance (Robotaki Remix)


Continuing with this dancey goodness, I've got a great little mix from Hana Yori Kichou Na of Alan Braxe's classic "Vertigo". He gives the track serious kick, glossing it over with plenty of disco stabs and some good ol' fashioned filtering. French-tastic!
Alan Braxe - Vertigo (Hana Yori Kichou Na 'Virgo Est de Retour' Remix)


If you're looking for something a little harder tonight, don't worry, I've still got you covered. Everbody and his mother loves Cee Lo Green's "Fuck You". Bart B More has decided to capitalize on its popularity and remix the shit out of it, turning gold into...more gold.
Cee Lo Green - Fuck You (Bart B More Remix)


And finally, I leave you with a track I couldn't be more excited about. Brand spankin' new SabasitAn. It's been a big week for Ed Banger, news that really puts a smile on my face. "Embody" is a gorgeous tune with a an addicting, albeit somewhat morose, melody that'll take you back to the golden days when this French crew dominated the electro scene. Check the video below as well.
SebastiAn - Embody




Weeeekenddd.

I'm an F-18, Bro

I've said it before and I'll say it again; I love RAC. They are wizards when it comes to remixing. They choose such subtle and cohesive instrumentation and they keep the integrity of the song while still drastically improving upon it. Roughly three years ago, RAC released a remix album called RAC VOL 1 that was critically acclaimed and really laid the groundwork for this awesome collective. Today, March 4th, they have finally released their second volume on their website and it's FREE. Below are two tracks that I've been abusing over the past week ever since I heard them, but if you fancy yourself a music enthusiast, you should just hop on over to their website and download the entire album in a nice little .zip file (or just click here).

Suckers - Black Sheep (RAC Remix)


Washed Out - New Theory (RAC Remix)

Dance Ritual was founded in 1998 by two of dance music's most respected artists, Louie Vega and Joe Claussell. The two wanted to create a party without musical boundaries, where African, Jazz, Latin, Soul, Gospel, R&B, and Brazilian sounds would blend through house forms. Vega is unquestionably a major force in house music, both as a producer and DJ, and Dance Ritual is his cultural and spiritual home. Without further adieu, here are a couple tracks I've been fiending over lately.

Black Coffee feat. Hugh Masekela - We Are One (Dance Ritual Mix)


Hardrive: 2000 feat. Lynae - Never Forget (When You Touch Me) (Dance Ritual Mix)

I recently found out that Tepr plans on releasing one track at the beginning of each upcoming month on his website (www.tepr.net). This month's track is definitely club ready. A bit on the deeper side, but with those standard Tepr floating synth lines that really create a dancing atmosphere in pretty much any setting. Enjoy this in all its free glory.

Tepr - Rigolease

Now, Quinten 909 uploaded this track to his soundcloud 1 month ago, but just recently decided to make it available for download out of the kindness in his own heart. French/Disco House master does it again. Repetitive but insatiably pleasing to the ears, You're My Friend will undoubtedly soothe your troubled brain.

Quinten 909 - You're My Friend

Brand new Classixx original guys. It sort of sounds like it's in the same vein as the Ghost Busters theme song... pure 80's cheese, from the funky bass line to the nostalgic synth guitar chord stabs. These lyrics... I'm beginning to think this is actually an 80's song. Anyways, here.

Classixx - Fortunate Star

Now this one is from 2007, but I recently began listening to it and I have to say... I wish more music was made like this. SebastiAn is an Ed Banger GOD and he needs to release more music for me to froth over. This crunchy kick drum and the grimey bass synth... yum yum yum.
The Rakes - We Danced Together (SebastiAn Remix)

Bonus:

Just wait for the vocals to kick in on this beautiful track

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs - Household Goods (Justin Martin vocal remix) by T-E-E-D

Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeper

MayaVanya - Panama! (Lolboys Remix) by MayaVanya

Love, Patrick

Yes It Is

We posted Uffie's single "Difficult" a while back, and since then I've encountered some quality remixes that deserve to be shared with you all. Mysterious and Canadian duo Azari & III are responsible for the first, drifting from their usual 90's classic house vibe with some upbeat, bouncy synths and percussion. Next one is from Uffie's labelmate, SebastiAn, who brings the that heavily distorted grungy sound he's become notorious for. (here's the download link for the original)

Uffie - Difficult (Azari & III Remix)

Uffie - Difficult (SebastiAn Remix)

Next, we have a track from Australian house producer Kraymer. It starts off innocently enough, some catchy vocal chops and a pretty house feel, but then launches unexpectedly into a grimy-ass bassline that you best be prepared for.

Kraymer - It's a Daft Thing

I'll always have a soft spot for filter house, especially if guys like Leonardus keep cranking out tunes like this. The production is typical of the Dutchman and'll be sure to get you moving through the rest of your Tuesday.

Leonardus - Oh Well

Alright, now we'll move onto the heavier stuff, beginning with none other than Steve Angello, whose remixes and originals are pretty much synonymous with "massive". This edit of "Where You Are" is of course, no exception, building steadily into a huge, ravey drop right before the 3:00 minute mark. And it only gets better from there. Do yourself a favor and give it a listen.

Harry Romero, Junior Sanchez, and Alexander Technique - Where You Are (Steve Angello Edit)

I'm just becoming familiar with Max Bett, a rising tech-house producer out of Russia with skills beyond his years. His minimalistic synth melodies and addictive tribal percussion combine to create a seriously trance-inducing sound, as evidenced by this original.

Max Bett - Mad Clinic

Augustus warned you, and now it's here. Dada Life's latest is an absolute banger, exactly what we've come to expect from these crazy ass swedes. Nothing more really needs to be said about it. Give it a listen, show the guys some love, and buy the track on beatport here so we can all keep on doin the Dada.

Dada Life - Unleash the Fucking Dada (Original Mix)
