It's Over

Well it's been a long week, what with midterms and Augustus' harddrive being fried, leaving him out of the rotation temporarily. But, that's all behind us now; it's about time we get to enjoying ourselves.

Chaz Bundick is back as Toro Y Moi and this time instead of sounding like excited pop-soul, he has trimmed the fat, resulting in a more mature approach. "New Beat" sounds like future-disco in all the right ways.
Toro Y Moi - New Beat


Bart B More's back at it again, manipulating classically house vocals and knowing exactly which synths to use to make the dance floor purr. Speaking of which, if you're in the Chicagoland area and are of 21 years of age (or have an impeccable fake ID), be sure to get to the Mid tonight to see Bart B More and Tinie Tempah!
Skydrive ft. Linda Newman - I Know Better (Bart B More Remix)


Two HUGE progressive house jams, the first from Swede John Dahlback and the second from the combined, prodigious talents of Thomas Gold and Axwell.
Benny Benassi ft. T-Pain - Electroman (John Dahlback Remix)

Hard Rock Sofa & St. Brothers - Blow Up (Thomas Gold vs. Axwell Remix)


Bass Kleph kicks it balearic-style on this one, with intriguing relapses into classical strings before the drop. Try this one on for size when you need some deepness.

IT'S FFRRIIDDAAYY



SIR REAL

We Came Here to Get Retarded

Fact: Louis La Roche makes some of the sweetest filter house around. This collaboration with Patrick Alavi should satiate your grooving needs.
Louis La Roche & Patrick Alavi - Until Now


I've got a little teaser of a new Fake Blood track for you all today. Not really sure what to make of it, though I think the title suits its quirky synth sound very well. Honestly, the bassline kind of remind me of "Mars", which remains as one of my favorite tracks of all time. Anyways, check it out and see what you think.
Fake Blood - Medieval


UK radio smasher Herve is certainly a master of the artform that is the remix, churning out dance-floor bombs with seemingly little effort. This mix of Moonbootica's "Tonight" does well in illustrating my point, thumping along with some fat ass drums and well executed stutters and breaks. This is disco on steroids.
Moonbootica - Tonight (Herve Voodoo Chilli Remix)


Everyone and his mother knows that Congorock has the ability to construct diabolical banger tracks that will simply make you lose your shit (...Babylon). He demonstrates his city-leveling prowess again in his remix of Benny Benassi's latest release, "Electroman". Points off for crazy ass T-Pain lyrics though.
Benny Benassi feat. T-Pain - Electroman (Congorock Remix)


Style of Eye popped into my radar when I heard that strangely addicting goodness that was "Antidote". When I was checking out Harvard Bass's new EP and I saw he had taken a stab at "Pruno", naturally I had to take a listen. I was subsequently bombarded with noises I can only describe as scary and strange, but it made me dance like a crazed monkey. Absolutely check this one out, but you might want to keep the lights on.

Shadow Dancer [BNR // Manchester, UK]

Allow me to introduce you all to Shadow Dancer, two brothers from Manchester whose prolific careers I had not been privy to until two days ago when I stumbled upon their new EP, Murder Room out now on Boys Noize Records and available on beatport. Signed to BNR in 2008, the brothers Farrier have been consistently churning out banging tune after banging tune; it's honestly quite astounding what these boys are capable of. From electro, to old-school house, to acid house, these dudes do it all and, most importantly, they do it really fuckin' well. If there's ever been an artist who reminds me of the legendary techno wizard known as Boys Noize, it's these young men with their technical skill and seemingly boundless production knowledge.

For more Shadow Dancer check out their incredible 2009 LP, Golden Traxe

Speaking of BNR, last Friday saw the release of Boys Noize Presents: Super Acid. Yep, that's exactly as sick as it sounds: an entire Boys Noize curated compilation of brand new acid tracks from your favorite BNR artists. If you wanna know more about how the compilation came to be, read this absurd description of all things acid house by none other than Boys Noize himself. My favorite track from the selection comes from Strip Steve who has been absolutely killing it as of late. Check out his groovy acid track below and be sure to grab the whole release on beatport.

SIR REAL

Reset, Default, Automatic

Italian Broke One appears to be on a mission to bring back those old-school Chicago house sounds and vibes based on what I've been hearing from him recently. This remix he did of Evil Nine's "Auto" serves as a good example as he layers together a distant synth background over the originals vocals, adding in a hint of acid underneath it all.

Evil Nine - Auto (Broke One Remix)


We've posted about him before, and with "Pantera", Frenchman and Shiny Disco Club crew member Kartell has definitively paved a bassline heavy path straight to my heart. Smooth, sexy, and funky as fuck are all terms one might use to describe this jam. Save this one for the lady-friend.
Kartell - Pantera


I believe we posted the Laidback Luke mix of Carte Blanche's "Do! Do! Do!" a while back, but personally, I'm much more of a fan of what Strip Steve has decided to do with it. Heavy on the hi-hats and heavy on the bass, this one just begs you to dance along.
Carte Blanche - Do! Do! Do! (Strip Steve Jacked Up Remix)


I really don't know much about eSQUIRE aside from the fact that he's from the UK, but he's managed to give one of my absolute favorite Daft Punk songs a delectable thickness that would destroy any dance floor. Sounds like my kind of guy.
eSQUIRE vs. Daft Punk - High Life 2011


Alright so I'll switch gears here and bring you guys some harder stuff, beginning with a bomb from Bart B More. Admittedly, that's a term that gets thrown around a lot here when describing big tracks, but seriously, this is a bomb. Download it immediately and let it pulverize your sound system.
Bart B More - Gilles (Original Mix)


HolyshitSharooz. Unfortunately, that's all that's whats left of my brain is able to process after listening to the La Bombe label boss's latest release.
Sharooz - Hysteresis (Original Mix)


And to close things out, why not some good ol' reliable Chuckie. I mean seriously, you can always count on this guy to bring the heat, just as he does with this mix of Diddy's "I Hate That You Love Me". Although it's got more of a progressive sounding buildup and drop, it'll certainly do the trick.
Diddy - I Hate That You Love Me (Chuckie's Marquee Remix)
