Julio Bashmore is one classy dude. Somehow the kid churns out tunes that are the perfect bridge between the UK’s current scene and Dirtybird’s signature, Tech-House style. In short, he’s pretty much a dream come true for us at Hot Bizzies. Another dream come true is his elegantly bass-heavy remix of Delphic’s “Halcyon”, which perfectly demonstrates his genius and flexibility.
This tune is so versatile that you could hear it rinsed to the masses at a Claude VonStroke show or on a much smaller, more intimate level with Bok Bok in one of his ustream sessions. Yes, the vocals are missing, but there are other remixers from this release who utilize them quite well; L-Vis 1990 and Deadboy are a couple of them. Also, if you’re not familiar with Delphic, their new release, Acolyte, is available on iTunes (UK only) and comes with a bonus track and videos. Get on it.
If you’re a sucker for pop-laced Dubstep, then my homeys Dirty South Joe and Flufftronix have created the perfect mix for you. Just watching that video should be enough explanation. Hurry up and visit Luvstep to pick up the mix and handmade Valentine.
Order now if you want it in time for the holidays!
It wasn’t too long ago when zombie movies were the big trend, but now, sadly, vampires have clearly taken their place. This fact leads me to believe that Zombies For Money, a Portuguese DJ/ production duo comprised of DJ Manaia and Klipar, won’t be getting any gigs in the movie business anytime soon. Fortunately for them, their primary skill set (aka music) should keep them busy for some time to come.
Speaking of which, they’ve just released a free, three song EP that’s full of heavy, squelchy synthed club tunes that aren’t not too far removed from that Sidney Samson or Afrojack brand of house that we all know and love. They plan on re-releasing a re-mastered version of the three songs backed with remixes by Foamo, Beware & Motorpitch, and Droptop on Feb. 25th.
Finally, after what seems to be forever, Fool’s Gold has released my secret weapon to the masses. What secret weapon, you ponder? Why, no other than Kingdom’s tracks “Mindreader” and “You”. I wrote about these a long time ago here on Hot Bizzies and it’s been a fun wait, as Kingdom has grown to become one of the best producers and DJs in the game. With his percussion-heavy bass bangers layered with diva vocals, his sets and mixtapes are always a blast. And now, with the release of this EP we can finally rejoice.
The EP is backed by remixes from his UK family Bok Bok and L-Vis 1990 as well as the legendary Todd Edwards. If you were lucky, you ordered the 10″ from Acephale with it’s silver foil accents and slightly different design. If you weren’t lucky, don’t worry, Fool’s Gold will re-release it. Until then, you can purchase digitally on Beatport, Boomkat, and Amazon.

Naughty, Norwegian DJ duo So Shifty have finally dropped their first EP on Crossfaded Bacon. If you’ve heard their remixes then you already know that they make clubbed-up, tropical-flavored electro. One of my favorite tracks to play live is their bootleg remix of R. Kelly + Kerry Hilson’s “Number One” and their Ska remix of Major Lazer’s “Keep It Goin’ Louder” makes me feel like a 12 year old boy every time I hear it (both available below). Party tracks aside, on their debut EP they definitely crank it up notch.
The ingeniously titled Wine Touch Clap EP, accompanied by some scandalousalbum art, has a bit of vocal flavor from several dancehall artists, giving their sound even more of a tropical island feel. They’ve also got Douster, Emynd, Them Jeans, and Top Billin’ on remix duty, so head to iTunes, Juno, and Turntable Lab to pick it up and start Carnivàle a little early this year.
Even while I am in Montreal, literally chilling (it’s 10º F), a bit of my heart still lies in Chicago, especially when I hear my friend’s music. A prime example is Michael Miles’ band; Love Concept. Featured a while back here on Hot Bizzies, Love Concept has returned with two brand new tracks. Both with that same feeling as before, the worn out but well loved 80’s throw back disco sound. These dudes are doing what Toro y Moi, Small Black, Neon Indian, and Washed Out doing but way before and way better. These tunes just feel so good. Sit back and soak it in.
For all the people who love indie rock, these dudes by the name of Vampire Weekend (you may have heard of them) are releasing their second LP called Contra on January 12th (US). Being a fan of Vampire’s production, we (LOL Boys) decided to take the track “Giving Up The Gun” and make a bootleg jam out of it.
In doing so, the end result was a bit less of the Paul Simon sounding vocals and an extra slice of drums on the side. If you’re a DJ then this track should please most of your indie loving fans, if you’re not a DJ you’ll still enjoy the tropical vacation that this remix will take you on.
Now that 2009 is officially over and done, we can get excited about all the new music producers stepping up to the plate to make 2010 start off with a bang. Much like Bok Bok and L-vis 1990 in 2009, you couldn’t escape hearing the buzz about these two. Aside from producing and DJing, the two also started a pretty rowdy party called Night Slugs, which has now evolved into a label.
The first release on the Nightslugs record label is from Mosca. If you’re a geek like Beats or I, than you’ve probably heard Mosca through Kingdom, Bok Bok, or Dubbel Dutch on one of their ustream sets. If you’re unfamiliar with Mosca, then this EP will be a great introduction, as he’s everything you’d hope for in a producer. Blending quirky deep techno sounds with world house vibes and tons of bass. This is “grown ‘n sexy” club music far removed from the annoying screechy sounds of blog house, but with the same inventive energy. Not only are the original tracks fantastic but the Nightslugs sprung for some heavy duty remixers like Roska, Greena and Julio Bashmore.
The EP will be released to every digital music retailer (iTunes, Juno, Beatport, Boomkat, etc.) as well as have a very limited number of vinyl copies pressed. Keep an eye out for Night Slugs releases through-out the year because they plan on releasing EPs for Kingdom, Greena, Jam City, Girl Unit and Egyptrixx.

Get Flavor, a brand new label out of France, has finally released their first bit of goodness! Their first release is a touch of Kuduro (see Buraka Som Sistema) flavored party tracks from producer/DJ Dakunt. This K-Danca EP isn’t just more faceless tourist music, it’s well-polished, full on party tunes. With recommendations from the likes of Sam Tiba, Canblaster, Richi Romero, Raziek, and Zombie Disco Squad, “K-Danca” is something to get excited about. Get Flavor were already kind enough to break us off with a bunch of promo mp3s, but be sure to pick up full quality versions over at iTunes, Juno, Track It Down, etc.

As the year comes to a close, the Grindin’ Network has chosen their favorite tracks of the year. Stay tuned for Hot Biscuits top picks.
It’s always sad to see the end of something, especially when that something has brought so much joy into your life and the lives of others. What am I mourning? It’s the conclusion of the Hollertronix 12″ vinyl series. Hollertronix was a party thrown by Diplo and Low Budget in Philadelphia, it was also used as their DJ duo name. Their party eventually led to the two putting out some very groundbreaking mixtapes that are now classics in the underground/ Indie dance music scene. After the two separated to chase their individual goals, Hollertronix continued as a series of 12″s that sometimes featured the duo, but most often just focused on cutting edge dance tracks representative of their party.
The final chapter in the series of 12″s definitely continues the tradition of “must have” party tracks and comes from a Netherlandish duo called The Partysquad. It’s four tracks of insane party music that is sure to demolish any crowd. It’s a blend of Baile funk, dance hall, Dutch house, and Baltimore club. While too many genres at one time would usually sound like shit, this record simple is the shit. You can get it from Beatport, Turntable Lab, and even on vinyl. And yes, they also have a t-shirt.
To celebrate the release and bid farewell to the series, Diplo linked up with dubstep producer Jayou to bring us a free, bass heavy banger:
