On Rotation

This week, i've mostly been listening to.....

She Said Disco's delightful remix of our track "The Meat."

Due out in April on Mozzarella Records, she has completely reinvented the original track... and I absolutely love it. It slowly builds with pitched down samples and keys, creating a really unique vibe. Great production, great artwork... Another artist to watch in 2011.

Be sure to check out her other work, including a fantastic DJ mix that i've been bumping on repeat: http://soundcloud.com/shesaiddisco

I recently discovered Mord Fustang on BBC radio... and frankly i'm late to the party on this one. Hailing from Estonia, MF's Milky Way sounds like a French Deadmau5,  full of synthy goodness. Check out this preview, and go buy on beatport:

Released a few days ago on La Bombe, Blende's Egypto is massive, plain and simple. The epic synthy breakdown has Daft Punk-esqe guitars... Just love the funky attitude this one has:

Last but not least, some great tech-house from local producer Dark & Stormy. This dude just gets better and better with each new track - and this is personally my favorite thus far:

The Dauphin

Young Digerati are a great new band out of San Francisco and one to keep a close eye on in 2011.

They were four students with nothing in common, faced with spending detention together in their high school library. At 7:00am, they had nothing to say, but by 4:00pm they had bared their souls to each other and became good friends.  There was John, otherwise known as Johnatron, whose music, both produced and remixed, has been played around the world by prominent artists including Justice and Phonat. Frank, at times known as Frankie Teardrop, was a seasoned musician who had spent years releasing and touring the country with many artists on many labels. Jeff, the singer-songwriter, possessed pop sensibilities that had captivated audiences around the country in acts such as INTL. And Will, a well respected artist whose visual prowess had reached beyond the painted canvas. To the outside world they were simply the Mod, the Preacher's Kid, the Hipster, and the DJ. But to each other, they would always be YOUNG DIGERATI.

Their debut EP is available for free download, and features remixes by some really talented artists. The original is catchy pop music at it's best:

Included on the EP is four remixes of The Dauphin, including our own remix! We went for a big synthy sound, and I'm really please with the outcome:

Ride The Universe has continued their streak of amazing remixes... I really love their sound:

Muffin might be the best producer you've never heard of... really hope to see some more new music from him soon:

Whorer House kill it with their big electro sound... This is dirty:

A great debut EP from some very talented (and cool) dudes... Can't wait to hear the 2nd EP!

Floatin my boat

Time for another random selection of tracks that have been floating my boat over the past couple of weeks.

 Most the electronic world instantly takes notice whenever Erol Alkan releases a new piece of music, and his rework of Tame Impala is up to his usual high quality. I love the reverbed guitars... but this one is all about that bassline.

Speaking of hyped producers... Fake Blood recently posted his Noah And The Whale's remix - and its everything we love about Fake Blood.

Next up is a beautiful take on Gorillaz's Empire Ants by Miami Horror. Great to hear some new music from this top notch Auzzie act.

Chilly Gonzales' Ivory Tower was one of my favorite albums of 2010. It's not the most dancefloor friendly album - so step in Fare Soldi, who have given their magic touch to You Can Dance.

Another great Robyn remix - this time by Drop Out Orchestra. Love the funky vibe on this one.
