NROTB aka (NEW RAVERS ON THE BLOCK)

February 08 2010

It’s too bad NROTB weren’t called the New Ravers On The Blog, because, given the times the producer handle would seem so appropriate.

The Montreal producers have been on top of things for a while, and I’ll be completely honest here, since “Droplet” and “Miam Miam” were let loose in the summer, I’ve been trigger happy with every track with their name on it. There’s enough nostalgia in each of these tunes for a thirty-something-once-upon-a-time-raver (that’s me by the way) to, excuse me, fucking lose it. Add some of the best production of 2009 to the mix and well, it seems as though there are a million reasons to hail this release the best ever. Really, ever.

Wait.

On Friday, February 5, 2010 the single gets an official release on PLANT MUSIC with remixes from FELIX CARTAL and AUTOEROTIQUE, and well, I gushed all over the place. Basically, I died and somehow living off of the single’s perpetual beat.

NROTB – DROPLET E.P. SAMPLER by Plant Music

Grab the entire release on beatport. You won’t regret it.

oOoOO

oOoOO — oo like ew or oo like oh, not quite sure but guessing it’s the sound a ghost would make. “Hearts” sounds like a slowed down dance track, or like an old cassette tape found in a basement that someone decided to sing over. Love that silence has become important again.

oOoOO – “hearts”

Minimal Mondays

More minimal for this Monday eve with a driving house number from Kevin Griffiths working with Amsterdam’s Julian Chaptal. Released on Tsuba records alongside other VR favorites like Zoo Brazil, Danton Eeprom and Motorcitysoul its no surprise that we get down to this.

DL : Kevin Griffiths – Oh Yeah (Julien Chaptal mix)

Next up is a little Move D to get things going a bit faster and funkier. His work here with DJ Late is perfect late night house with Mayfield basslines and loungey keys. Although its from 07 its sounds like tomorrow so enjoy.

DL : Move D feat DJ Late – Felix

Mux Mool’s latest release for Ghostly International is spaced out IDM that carries beautiful orchestration and analog keys mixed with hip hop sensibilities. When asked about his name the Brooklynite responded:

“Mux is short for ‘multiplexing,’ which is the streaming of many types of information through one channel,” he explains, “and Chac-Mool is an ancient Meso-American statue of a reclining man.” A technologically complex breed of synthesis and a timeless piece of indigenous art”. .

DL : Mux Mool – Hog Knuckles

Redshape strikes again but this time for a little help on the Delsin 2.0 Remix EP1. Working with Amsterdam’s newworldaquarium he crafts the original into a pulsating soundscape layered dark pads, bouncing bass and undulating synth stabs.

DL : newworldaquarium – Trespassers ( Redshape’s Trespassed remix)

French cafe house mixed together with tranced out bass sections and minimal stone hits. Truly remarkable sound here when the keys get punched alongside the Accordions and cafe sounds. Shades of Dop or Nôze combined with Popof in a blender.

DL : Schaufler and Zovsky – AM Utkiek (Mollono.Bass remix)

DOWNLOAD: “My Girls (Mike Monday Unofficial Remix)”…

DOWNLOAD: “My Girls (Mike Monday Unofficial Remix)” by Animal Collective (mediafire)

Okay I am probably so incredibly late on this but its too good to not post up again. We all know that “My Girls” was on the top of nearly everybody’s best of 2009 list but this remix is just perfect for DJs to keep the dancefloor going. Mike Monday takes that repeating spacey chord thingy and builds it into a climax. Doesn’t really stray too incredibly far from the remix but is just a really great dance friendly remix of an already awesome song. Definitely give it a listen.

From Here To Eternity

February 08 2010

DJ Dlg – From Here To Eternity Feat Giorgio Moroder (Plastik Funk Remix)
That’s the one that got me hooked! That’s the first disco-electronic tune I heard in my life, I remember listening to this with my father back then. A total classic! Great job by DJ DLG of reviving this fabulous song. Nothing beats the original though ;)

Chic Flowerz – Lady Marmelade (Sunshine Mix)
Another classic here, this one very nice. It should get the ladies on the dancefloor.

Madinshina – Rhythm Is A Dancer 2010 (Extended Edit)
The 90’s sound will be in vogue during 2010 you can bet on it. This one is a good example.

Technotronic – Pump Up The Jam (Risk One Big Room Remix)
I always like it when my friend Risk One send me his remixes and mixes, they’re always good. This one is no exception. He basically updated the beat to make it more club friendly.
