Our posts frequency isn’t very high these weeks, I know, sorry about that! But during the summer we are all taking things a bit slower and are busy with a lot of other stuff of course (being the festivals etc!). I’m sure we’ll get back on speed from next month or so. In the meanwhile I’m going to try to post some more frequent stuff on our Facebook wall, so be sure to fan up!
It’s also been a while since we posted something from AC Slater even though this awesome producer was in our 2009 favorite producers selection! We got for you his remix for Cooler couleur from the Crookers (ft. Yelle) and a mixtape from a few days ago. His approach to the remix is way different from what we got from Junkie XL’s one, bit darker and rougher. Quick fact about Yelle, she’s currently working on a new album with producers: GrandMarnier, Tepr, and Siriusmo (especially the last one is interesting!)

After all that mixtape violence it’s time for a load of tracks! Got a lot of nice blog submissions the last few days and here is a (still) rather small selection of it! First few tracks are a bit more funky and chill while the second batch is a lot more rougher and experimental!
Chromeo‘s new single “Don’t Turn The Lights On” is getting a lot of blog love. For good reasons of course, it’s a very nice track accompanied with this very cool video as well. What me interested the most is the remix by Aeroplane, good stuff as always from Vito:

And while we are sharing remix for french bands, here is the Mixhell remix for Jamaica – Short and Entertaining. Igor Cavalera made a guest apperience in the offcial videoclip so this remix didn’t came as a big suprise! If Jamaica plays their cards right they will be come huge, I already had the chance to listen to the full album which is coming later this month and it’s absolutely brilliant!

Let’s crank things up a bit and add some more bass to the game. Dolby Anol is coming with a new digital EP “Visa Mastercard”. For this EP they focussed on african rythems and ancient chants from the east, add a lot of hard claps and heavy basses and you get yourself the Dolby Anol trademark. Not the biggest fan of foreign-like chants though … and therefor this free “American Express” track they added I dig the most.

Malente is currently working hard on his own label “No Brainer Records” and in november he’ll release an EP “Tanzan Boys” on it with remixes from producers from all over the world (Them Jeans, Reset!, Rubix, …). This next one is a remix he did for Crystal Fighters. Very funk southern feel too it …

Now it’s time for those more experimental tunes! The first one is a free track coming from Mako Records (Proxy’s label). Very experimental, futuristic touches for those creepy late dark nights… spooky.

Simian Mobile Disco made an Mix CD for the US based FIXED. From what I can tell FIXED is a party concept and SMD is one of their main residents. The mix cd resembles a mixture of deep disco, techno records but as they say theirself “without forgetting it’s still a party!”.

Beat & Bang were so generous to give away a free track. It’s called “Listen to Moscow” and brings us beats and wobbles you could expect coming from a label like Mako Records in my opinion. Will be hearing from the a lot in the future I think.

Lektroluv yet again signed up a banging artist: Hey Today! In the past they had releases on the Kitsuné label and recently also on Turbo Recordings. The EP is called “Strange” and will include remixes by Boris Dlugosch, Gomma Records labelhead Munk and Polymorphic & Mould (from Proxy’s label Mako). The original is just plain old pounding electro, Boris Dlugosch makes it that bit more funky and our Russian friends … well you know what to expect from them. Check out the Soundcloud previews and get the latest mixtape of Hey Today! below.
Clockwork is a LA based producer who produces some punkass electro. The blogs are already packed with remixes from this guy, you can get most of them on his soundcloud page. Apart from these raw remixes he does some raw originals as well! His new EP “Elevated” is coming August 14 and will feature two originals with remixes by John Roman, Valerna, Figure and Sick Boy. Airflow is one of these originals and brings strong electro but with a nice melody behind it making it sound like it was just produced for those massive big room events.

Laundry Day started as a very very small party in a street with only one stage if I’m not mistaking. Nowadays it’s a mass-event with more than 10 stages and 60.000+ visitors. You’ll find music there going from DnB, House, Techno, Electro to Hip-Hop and RnB. This year they have this cool japanese theme and the promoclip with it is absolutely brilliant, check it out on top.
Laundry Day also gives young talents the chance to prove themself. One of these young talents is e-Minded who did a special mixtape for the occasion including tracks and remixes from artists of the Laundry Line-up! You can find the tracklisting on the soundcloud link.
Dedicated followers know I’m a huge fan of this Dutch producer by the name Rubix. His “Baiser Sur La Disco” is still in most of my tracklistings, I simply can’t get enough of that track. He sent me 3 new remixes all perfectly describing his typical funky house style. After remixing Romane (from Bart B More) he did another remix for a Sound Pellegrino member “Solo – Rawmania”. Then there is the remix he got asked for by Don Diablo’s new track “Who’s your daddy” coming out in August on Sellout Sessions. And the last remix is a very funky one for a Dutch Hip-hop group.

I’m probably not the biggest fan or follower of Hermanos Inglesos but this Wanderland track sets them next to other Belgian genre like producers as Aeroplane and Villa in my opinion. Their debut album is coming early this Autumn and Wanderland is the first single of it. Dreamy vocals with a minimal house sound but still very danceable! Check out the video for the original on top and below you’ll find a remix by Superlijm making it even more danceable by adding some more dance / new disco vibes.
