I need to get me one of these shirts! Happy Monday GDD™ people! After one serious bender of a weekend, I am back to the grind and ready to give you all some great tunes to start the week off right. Check out this 5 pack of remixes from some of the top artists in the game right now.
What’s up my fellow dirty dancers, I hope your weekend is treating you as well as it is treating me. This has been a great week in music, whether your in Miami or not (and if you are, I want you to know I hate you a little bit). Anyways, I was very honored when FuzZ, Avedon and Zedex all decided to contribute to this weeks dirt! From complex IDM to French House, the three artists certainly differ in their sound, but not their unmistakable talent. With a wide range of songs to choose from on this weeks dirt, there is certainly something for all of you. So without further ado, myself, Fuzz, Avedon and Zedex present this week’s dirt after the jump!
*Check out the exclusive tracks from Fuzz, Zedex & St. Andrew!
A fire remix by Metamimetic‘s Zedex. This track has everything; a good groove, a funky feel and synth lines so massive they are guaranteed to take you on an exquisite psychedelic journey. These kids are the ones to watch in 2011!
FuzZ was signed to N.A.S.A. label Spectrophonic Sound last year and he just dropped this little gem earlier this month on his Bandcamp. It’s the first of several releases scheduled for 2011, including anticipated collaborations with members of The Pack and a few experimental solo releases.
St. Andrew is flying under the radar right now, but soon that’ll all be over. Repping Iowa and Los Angeles, Andrew has been making magical music for a few years now. I would normally spend these next few sentences talking him up, but it’s completely pointless when the music speaks for itself. Prepare yourselves, and keep an eye out this summer for Andrew’s new label, Rabbit Recordings.
Everything this guy turns out is fire. Lützenkirchen has given us a haunting track that is so ill its slightly frightening. Dread Phrase is a dark one; with an infectious bass line and intricate percussion. This track will make you wish you were in a German dark underground bassment rave…perfect!
This track is a hard hitter from Mr. Tim Berg aka Avicii. I think we all know well too much about this 21 year old prodigy, his engineering is unbelievable.
This guy has been on my radar for a while. I first heard a few of his tracks on the Laidback Luke forum and I could tell there were gonna be some bangers coming from his direction. This is one of his newest originals and it’s already got support from Chuckie and Joachim Garraud just to name a few. This one bumps.
Night Slugs have been blowing up as of late, garnering attention from Rinse.FM, XLR8R and Pitchfork for damn good reason. Based in the UK, these dudes are on some new shit, expanding minds and stretching genres. Be sure to check out all the artists on this label, as they’ve all been inspiring me lately. Shouts to Gavin and Andrew for the introduction.
Yesterday Siriusmo put out a small release on Monkeytown Records, and guess what? It’s amazing. No surprises there, Siriusmo has been one of my favorite producers for years now. Check out the whole release if you get a chance, it’s white hot.
• Bart B More & Harvard Bass – Listen To This (Jan Driver Dub) [Beatport]
We all know and love Bart B More, and his new track with Harvard Bass is being played all over. Here’s Jan Driver’s rendition of it and it’s pretty heavy as you might expect. I’m expecting a lot more from Driver, one of Alex Ridha’s newest recruits on Boysnoize Records.
• Mr. Fogg- Answerphone (Raffertie Remix) [Purchase]
Raffertie is an innovator. Recently starting his own record label, appropriately called, Super Recordings, he has been consistently changing the game with his futuristic genre crossing dance-noise. His newest remix of Mr. Fogg, which dropped on March 21st, is sure to leave you amazed/confused in the best way.
This guy is being slept on and it’s a damn shame! He just dropped his first full-length entitled Trademark Ribbons of Goldlast year, and it’s a monster. As far as comparisons go, Mr. Oizo and Siriusmo come to mind, although VHS Head is really doing his own thing. Peep the album, you won’t regret it.
• The Japanese Popstars – Song For Lisa (Benny Benassi Remix) [Beatport]
Benassi’s newest release gives me hope that this guy can still put out fresh shit. This one goes in a completely new direction but maintains that Benassi feel. Love the vocals on this track, props to The Japanese Popstars for a beautiful soundscape.
It’s a sad day for french electronic music with the closing of institubes records a fine label that helped unearth some of the most talented young producers to come out of france over it’s nearly eight years of operation and also help shape the french electronic music scene in the 00′s. Run by Teki latex & Dj Orgasmic they showed us the musical stylings of Surkin, Das Glow, Bobmo, high powered boys and para one, quite the list if you want an electro hoe down.
Institubes has had to close its doors due to losing too much money through operating costs, and a tough uphill battle with the bigger companies focusing on the who and not the music. In an ever changing and demanding consumer world it seems that brand, image and self promotion have taken top priority over the quality and quantity of musical releases these days. Especially when music is released at light speed these days it can be hard to find yourself in the clutter that is the internet.
Never fear Teki & Orgasmic are still putting dope tunes out through their sound pellegrino imprint, things are not slowing up for the boys, with many of their releases featuring renaissance man, harvard bass, solo, l-vis 1990 and plenty more. The full press release can be found over at institubes records. it’s quite the read. Below is a look back at some of the great tunes released over the years from the institubes back catalouge.
2003
The first releases were dope french hip hop from L’Atelier, La fête de la musique compact bass, string samples plus smooth french rhymes make this a pretty tasty track. (i wish i knew french)
Surkin released his most famous working in 2oo6 (one of the golden years for electro) ‘ghetto obsession’, you should know it by now its a peak hour floor stomper. 2006 also saw the release of Para One’s debut album Epiphanie, which definitely had its moments with some raunchy basslines mixed up with hip hop style beats break this album up from being just another electro album.
Bobmo & Surkin teamed up to bring us the collaboration project ‘high powered boys‘ releasing the double sided ‘sounds of cain’ which included the monster club hit ‘hoes get down’. 08 also saw the release of dj orgasmic’s six pack anthem featuring teki latex spiting hot fire over electro hip hop cuts makes for a pretty rad offering.
Having released plenty of tunes on institubes over the years das glow was one of the last artists to put out tracks with his phase IV EP, acid house inspired techno coupled to driving bass lines, great for taking things deep.
