I got some easy listening tunes from Young Empires this past weekend and I think they’re the perfect start to the last leg of Summer. They sound like a Cut Copy meets The Fashion with a dash of Kid Color’s plucking bass lines, and I think we can all agree that that’s a winning combination. Check out their demo’s along with a remix Sunday Girl’s “Self Control.” If you like what you hear, and you’re in the area, I might recommend hitting up their live show at The Flowerpot (London) on August 3rd.
I’d really like to “get deep” in this write-up and express how these “chillwave” tunes are making me feel like reality is fake and how I’m not sure if this ice cream is real or not… But I’ll leave that garbage to Altered Zones. Instead, I just want to point out that if you’re into atmospheric tunage you should give Atlantic At Pacific and Under Alien Skies a listen.
Atlantic At Pacific is releasing his Weddings full-length via Alchemist Records on August 24th and Under Alien Skies are in the studio putting together their LP as well as working on a live performance for a string of upcoming shows. Enjoy.
He’s back. The champion of Brooklyn’s genre bending, speaker bruising, bass infested club music… K-K-Kingdom! He just released an amazing 5 song EP on Night Slugs that are bleak and heavy. The appropriately titled That Mystic EP is tailor made for pitch black clubs and is a perfect soundtrack for any number of occasions.
We told you before that Kingdom was going to be huge and he’s clearly living up to that prediction. Pick up That Mystic when you can and enjoy some older gems below.
Drums! It’s all about the drums these days and French producer Bambounou knows all about’m. He’s clearly bridging the gaps in house and tech house with his tunes and while he’s very young in age, his beats sound like the work of a seasoned veteran. Just check out his debut release, Animism, it’s full of so many drums tightly woven together that it’s like a tropical workout. The EP includes 3 original tracks and remix work from LOL Boys & Teki Latex, French Fries, Art Nouveau, and Dre Skull. Probably the must-have record of the month.
I don’t need to get into how amazing Inception is, but I do feel like I need to share the 3rd trailer theme. Contrary to popular belief, the master behind said theme is not Hans Zimmer but a not so familiar producer by the name of Zack Hemsey. I couldn’t find this for sale anywhere or I would have posted a “buy” link up with the mp3. This is one of the most epic theme songs ever and it deserves to be purchased in the most legitimate of ways.
Once you hear this lower quality version you’ll (like me) most likely be fiending for a full-quality link (stream available here). Mr. Hemsey, please get it together and make this available for purchase everywhere. Sincerely, everyone.
As you probably know, the Swedish blogging superstars of Discobelle have recently branched out from the “blog-o-sphere” to form a record label that mirrors the quality and consistency of the content you can find in their posts. For the labels 5th release, they’ve truly called out the big guns.
Femme En Fourrure‘s Dirty Blonde Remixes EP features some heavy remixes by French Fries & Manaré, Marcus Price, Lazaro Casanova, Raziek, MYD and Madkids. The release also features an original track with Eero Johannes called “Banana.” Dig into Marcus Price‘s remix below, revisit his amazing collab with Carli on “Mat, Bira, Kvinnor, Weed (Kingdom Remix)” and get the rest of the “Dirty Blonde” remixes over at Juno.
Rusko just threw a handful of old tunes on Twitter and seeing as how the sendspace link will die in the next couple of minutes, I’m putting the ones I enjoyed here. So… Enjoy. Oh, and get them all here.
Earlier this year, my good friends Richard and Asher officially released their single “Love Burn” on Hervé‘s record label Cheap Thrills. The release went over well and was even supported with solid remixes by both Mighty Mouse and Max Morrell. Since both the remixes were more on the House & bass heavy side of dance music, I wanted to try to turn “Love Burn” into a dubbed out Disco-Rock tune.
Over the past couple of months, I’ve been inspired by the Disco producer Gino Soccio and definitely tried to incorporate a lot of his techniques into this remix. Considering it’s the first Dub remix I’ve ever produced, I wanted to come at it with an old school mentality which could give it that organic sound I love. I hope you enjoy it!
