The lovely Nottee is back with the release of the beautiful single “Don’t Waste Your Light On Me/Share This” (production comes from The Tough Alliance member Henning Fürst) on Emotion.

Nottee – Don’t Waste Your Light On Me by Emotion

Nottee – Share This by Emotion

Uninspired by the grey skies this last weekend of summer brings us, i draw strength to post from an older more proven song.

Spencer and Hill have been and foraging and applying their musical ability to the blog landscape for some time now and have developed a name with in the hard electro and house scenes.

I came across The song tresspasser while back tracking in an attempt to wake up, which is partly the reason this post happened. Whether it was the whispering voices in the build up or the catching lead synth line. this is quality that cannot be denied

GDD™ homies, and self-proclaimed “Maximalist House” duo ZEDEX have recently put the finishing touches to their forthcoming Zulu X-ray EP. The follow up to last September’s High Crimes release, it’s set to drop on Metamimetic this April, and believe me when I tell you: it’s an absolute monster of an EP. The track list’s below, together with a brand new remix they’ve done for their buddies Fenech Soler.

What with all our new writers, I've been a little quiet of late. Here's a few tracks I should've posted a while ago. They mostly fit into the ubiquitous Exploited/MadeToPlay/Jackmode camp:

Exploited Records' new-kid-on-the block Joyce Muniz has put together a lovely, breezy house edit of a Dusty Sprinfield classic. A chipper rhythm and light bongo drums make it easy listening, but it has that tech-house edge that could earn it a place on the deeper, more discerning dancefloors:

Joyce Muniz - Spooky Dusty [pelski highly recommends]

A couple of months old this one, but it's really grown on me. Solo goes for some organic, satisfyingly raw percussion coupled with more of his trademark exotic, carnival vibes:

Solo vs Vega - The Love Ritual [pelski highly recommends]

Solo aka Stefano Ritteri

Homework  turned a lot of heads in 2010 with their 'Fissa Tune EP' and now they're doing the same with 'Hudson Square' - their most interesting release to date. The Dutch duo are handing out a bootleg, in much the same vein as Joyce Muniz' freebie above, but this time touching-up Lenny Kravitz' 'I Belong To You'. Deep Latin percussion and a spatter of guitar help retain the original's suitably cheesy vibe:

Homework - Lenny

They're also kindly handing out their remix of Art Nouveaue's 'Paradise'. It's a lumbering exotic number, with a stripped-back tempo, a seductive flute snakes throughout the track amidst the soft roll of bass-pads:

Art Nouveau - Paradise (Homework Remix)

Darkly posted on the fun housey flexes of Jumping Back Slash a while back - I believe JBS coined his musical genre as 'afrotronical space music'...I have a blogger's sixth sense that as a name it may not take off quite like 'Nu Rave' or 'Fidget' did... Well, they've got Kwaito rework of an a deliciously sleazy r'n'b classic. He's also got a remix of Adele's glorious 'Rolling In The Deep' here. Although I'm not sure any of the Adele remixes can do justice to the original - no, not even that offered up by the increasingly unavoidable Jamie XX...

'Peanut Butter Jelly Time' - originally an advert catchphrase I believe - has certainly had its fair share of quest appearances in club culture. It's popped up in numerous b-more bangers and now Claude Von Stroke and Christian Martin gives it a quirky ghetto-tech rework, all jumpy beats and fizzing bass:

Worthy remixes techno deity Juan Atkins on Scion A/V's latest free EP, working it into a Cumbia-laced bouncer:

Juan Atkins - Marz (Worthy Remix)

Bonus: Doctor Dru & Adana Twins - Juicy Fruit (Calm Down Winter Bootleg)

French writer Antoine de Saint- Exupéry once said perfection isn’t reached when there’s nothing left to add, but when there’s nothing left to take away… Music sometimes talks better than words as well.

Here’s a track to get you geared up for solid night of hypnotic house music.  From Ryan Elliott’s “Rocksteady EP” we have track two called, “Steadyrocking”, which is a moody electronic instrumental house track.  The highlight of this track is the main motif of a four note piano line that weaves in and out of this seven minute plus track.

Pitchfork recently had a really nice interview with FaultyDL, they also offered his fabulous rework of Mount Kimbie‘s “Serged” in a related post. Check it out while you wait for his new You Stand Uncertain LP to drop on March 14th.
