Sound Pellegrino Thermal Team Mix

Spotted this bad bay on the A Sound A Day blog site and it's given me my hit for day since I'm in love right now with anything and everything that Sound Pellegrino is producing and this mix hits the right spot. Teki Latex and Dj Orgasmic have come through with the newest mix from the label, packed with gooey bubbly synth beats and hyperactive jams. As soon as hear it, you'll say; "Woah".

Bangkok

I think it's safe to say that anything on Erol Alkan's music label Phantasy Sound is going to be big. German based Boris Dlugosch's new single 'Bangkok' is no exception. This is a big bassy, electro-house treat for the dancefloor. Roska's remix is great as well. You should really just buy the whole EP. Now available to buy at BEATPORT. 

In the meantime, check out the sound of this banging track, and then go and buy it! :

Hello, My Name is 'Chaos Dans Le CBD'

Chaos Dans Le CBD (Ben and Louis) are two brothers from Auckland, New Zealand with new sounds to please your ears. Their 'japanese pop' tracks capture the best in solid drums, rhythmic bongos, squelchy bass synths and stabbing riffs. Their solid tech/house sound is fresh and something to get excited about. See below for their own remix of 2009 favourite 'Peanuts Club'. 

Enjoy some of their own productions, show them some love and watch this space for these boys to be snatched up and signed!

Chaos Dans Le CBD : 'Cheese's Christ' (Original Mix)

Chaos Dans Le CBD : 'Rag Rats' (Original Mix)

Chaos Dans Le CBD : 'Tesh and Maccas' (Original Mix)

P.S. Something amazing has finally happened in Dundee = Calvin Harris is floored by a flying shoe.

The Jesse Rose Appreciation Society

So last year, we all come back from an amazing time in Berlin after the Melt! festival and there's news of this Berlin Dj who has a residency at the infamous Panorama club coming to play at Snafu - we see it as a sign and decide we must go! 

Much to our dismay, there was a missed flight connection and he didn't make it = gutted. 

Never fear, Jesse WILL be here. Widely accepted as one of the most innovative house Djs about, Jesse Rose has formed an enviable niche for himself in the dance music world. Involved in a whirlwind of production, with the likes of Switch/Solid Groove, he produces the kind of fidget house I just love. His amazing album "What Do You Do If You Don't?" was released earlier this year and features collaborations with Hot Chip and David E Sugar, and oozes with his influences of soul, jazz and chicago house. While Giles enjoys slamming out 'Touch My Horn', I tend to go weak at the knees for 'Well Now' and 'Wine Gum'. Not only is his solo album a hit, his remixes are something to get silly about. I have particularly enjoyed his reproductions of Armand Van Helden, Krafty Kuts and Underworld. 

Jesse Rose : 'Touch My Horn' (Mad Kids Remix)

Underworld : 'Holding The Moth' (Jesse Rose Remix)

His popularity has ensured an already busy Dj even more in demand. Do not miss an all out hero of house music hitting Snafu this month.

Peanuts Club

One of the most eagerly anticipated tracks of the year, and rightly so, is the awesome tune 'Peanuts Club' by Turbo's talented tricksters Noob and Brodinski. This is by far one of the best productions this year, showing off a great collaboration. I thought it time to really appreciate this track in all its glory and include some swell remixes for you all to enjoy. As well as the original I've included my top 3 favourite reedits - one of which was recently posted on Noise Porn by Button Masher, which is a banging take on the track, and also the Renaissance Man and unsigned Chaos Dans Le CBD (see above) remixes - YUM

Harvey Bassline time

Harvard Bass is a San Diego based producer on the glorious Sound Pellegrino sub-Record Label (curated by Orgasmic and Teki Latex) who are holding host to amazing acts like Gucci Vump, Renaissance Man, Zombie Disco Squad, Douster and L-Vis 1990 : WOAH. He is popping out some great beats influenced by old chicago and filter house. 

His "Caked/81" EP was released earlier this year and since then he has been moseying up the talent tree. He has since remixed Drop The Lime, The Toxic Avenger, Acid Girls and the chord-alicious edit of Rotterdam's Rejected track 'Let's Go Juno'.  He mixes smoothe minimalism with ghetto house grooves, with a sprinkle of bass. Finnish Duo Renaissance Man have provided a scrumptious remix of '81' in the form of a percussive house jam - showing off their own sound and boosting Harvard's reputation.

Most recently, Harvard has remixed Beni's 'Maximus' - appearing on the upcoming Kitsune Maison Volume 8 compilation - turning it into a veritable minimal electro club banger. Keeping the vocal clips in tact, the kicks are made monstrous and sounds close to Les Petit Pilous' 'Jolie Fille'.

Here's a taster of what what Harvey is producing. . .

Zombies Just Wanna Dance

Zombie Disco Squad (Lucas Hunter and Nat Self) have been producing tracks and remixes of a lovely tech-house variety for a while now. Jesse Rose has even said himself that they are one of the most exciting prospects of 2009, especially since they are on the Made To Play record label. I bring them to the blog's attention not only because it's halloween, and on halloween there are zombies etc, yeah? But also because they are appearing and playing at Snafu in November! BOOM

The Esoteric Art Of The Opening Dj

Many a person do not seem to understand the 'art', so to speak, behind warming up a Dj set. You might think this to be common sense, but time and time again I've seen and heard people busting out the biggest bassline tunes at 10 or 11pm at night when the club is half empty, and you want to enjoy a few drinks with your friends instead of having your ears bleed at your arrival to the club. Don't get me wrong, I do love to hear and to play out big beats, big basslines, big electro tracks and everything else big. But there's a time for that, which you've got to get just right. Giles forwarded this article to me on the art of the warm up Dj and what they have to achieve if they want to do it well. This is something that should be read and understood by many.

Big Beats Killed The Komputer

Afternoon on another soggy day, which I am feeling since the house is leaking and my bond videos got wet. I hate the rain. 

Thanks to those who came down on Wednesday, especially since it was a horrible night, even I wanted to stay in my jammies with a cup of tea and watch Masterchef. Alas, I did up my top button and put my glasses on for the geek affair - of which I thank those who dressed up for it!

A slight error on Wednesday when everything went quiet about 1am - Giles' computer had a bit of a crash, so apologies for that! But I managed to take over and got you kids dancing like mad. I hope you enjoyed the beats and booze - I certainly did. Here are a few tunes that you guys seemed to enjoy on the night. . .

Gramophonedzie - 'Why Don't You'

The Young Punx - 'Juice and Gin' (Riva Starr Remix)

Dizzee Rascal : 'Holiday' (Laidback Luke Remix)

Dance Til You're Dead . . .

Apparently Annie Mac played the A-Trak remix of 'Heads Will Roll' earlier this month and the kids went wild for it - I'm not surprised. I have been waiting for a beasting remix of this tune cause I just love it - my indie roots coming back to life with a modern club beat mix = perfecto. A-trak himself requested for this mix to be published on blogs, so boost. He does just enough to it, making it playable and enjoyable for a packed clubbed to dance to. 

It's tasty. . .

I ♥ Louis

Louis Brodinski shouldn't need much of an introduction - The French music tickler has such a broad taste of beats which is reflected in his own productions and dj sets, encompassing noisy techno, bass heavy house through to melodic minimal. The craze started with the release of his track "Bad Runner" in 2007 on Mental Groove. Since then he has remixed for the likes of Adam Sky, The Shoes, D.I.M, Klaxons, HeartRevolution, Mehdi, Jokers of the Scene, Mixhell and Bonde De Role. He has already been championed by Radio Soulwax, Tiga's Turbo and Bugged Out. His recent collaborations with Noob and Mumdance have only reinforced his growing success and pure talent of producing some amazing sounds. I am pretty excited since he is coming to Snafu in November as part of Let It Bleed, which you can buy tickets for HERE! His set at MELT! this july was pretty damn good, even though I was out of energy by the Sunday night, so this gig should be pretty amazing. 

As a taster/treat/something for you all to nibble on, here is one of his mixes from his blog SmokeMashine, with tracklisting below. -- enjoy --
