Deux Mille Dix: La Fin

I

I wish I had been introduced to DJ Zinc a long time ago.  I get tones of promo's in my inbox everyday that are great and all but in the future if you hear something this good and I haven't talked about it, let a brother know.  No one deserves to be left in the dark when it comes to such fine productions.  

Zinc - Nexx

Since I'm dwelling in the past again, here is something I probably should have posted months ago and was saving for a rainy day.  Given that it's New Year's Eve, the biggest party night of the year and my last post of 2010 I thought i would close the year it with a massive banger.  Can I get a fist pump?

Punks Jump Up

Here is a preview from Punks Jump Up's next release Blockhead.  This will make a great single with remixes coming from Zombie Nation, Hey Today!, In Flagranti, Stopmakingme & SymbolOne.  The EdiT version already made the latest all famous Kitsune Maison compilation.  I'm really looking forward to hearing the remixes of this single, especially from Hey Today! after the success of their You Gonna Want Me remix.

Smalltown Romeo

How awesome is Tropical?  Round Table Knights were singly responsible for a massive increase in Tropical productions this year with the massive success of Calypso but I would predict that 2011 has a lot more in store for fans of the steel drums.  Given that I live in the Steel City my local economy would really see the benefit to Tropical becoming a mainstream sound.  I don't know much about Smalltown Romeo other than they are a Canadian threesome that describe themselves as "young, gifted & brown" on SoundCloud.  Wicked.  You can check out their blog here.

Mr Gonzo

The SoundCloud machine is a great tool to discover new music, probably my favorite right now.   I've started following many of my favorite producers and have discovered so many new ones that I probably would have never heard of otherwise.  I've also been spending some time freshening up my collection of sweet filter/disco/french house tracks for my next set and have come across Mr. Gonzo. Mr Gonzo, you rock!

Great DubStep remix of a classic Mamas & the Papas track for my friends.  As the year is quickly coming to a close I just want to thank the blog followers for visiting.  It's been swell having you over, invite your friends in 2011 and I'll make sure they have a good time.

Me & You

In November I had a chance to catch the masked French dj/producer Danger in Toulouse closing out Les Nuits Sonores.  This track isn't typical Danger style from what I remember, but it has a good beat and will make a nice transitional track.  Not sure if it will make any official release or not, anyone else know?

Nevrosis

Para One's Animal Style/Nervosis EP finally dropped a week or so ago.  I probably played out the radio edit I had but if you haven't heard Animal Style yet and like something hard & funky(other than the obvious)  I wouldn't hold back on picking this up.  Here is a free download of a Clockwork remix.

A Better Day

Let's keep it rolling with a little more filter house today.  Phantom's Revenge is on fire right now, his productions have so much energy in them.  This is filter house jacked up on a bunch of Red Bull times ten.   On a separate note Boxing Day VS NFL.  NFL wins hands down.

Dear Santa, all I want for Christmas is more sweet beats.  Turns out Santa likes to party so I made him a mix to leave out with some cookies & milk.  Hopefully he shows, I may have made his naughty list in 2010.  If you're looking for some high energy electro/house this holiday season you will want to listen to my latest instalment.  You can find the track listing in the comments of my SoundCloud page.

Funk With Me

Afrojack has a Lost & Found album coming out on January 3rd with some tracks that didn't make the big stage in 2010.  My favorite by far is this funk with me track, it has delicious flavor.  Oh, I nearly forgot, Merry Christmas.

This song takes a couple minutes to really get under your skin.  By under your skin I mean that in a  good way. That make you want to dance & groove kind of way.  Holiday season mode is officially in the on position, things gonna get crazy.  For those of you who don't know Donald Glaude, you should look him up he's done few things if you know what I mean.  Enjoy!

Tiny Danza

I love supporting Toronto's local talent, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. These guys are sporting the coolest band name I've heard in a while "Tiny Danza" and have a really good sound to back it up.   These 5 talented musicians who all went to the same high school and got the band together about 4 years later come from very different musical backgrounds, so naturally they became a fusion band.  I'm really excited about their upcoming release 'You Could Have It All...' scheduled for the spring of 2011.    You can check out their SoundCloud page here, if this track is a preview of what's to come this should be a great release.

Bastards Cam Do 90

I picked up the latest Phantoms Revenge EP Charlie because of the title track but never got around to listening to the rest til this morning. This is when I discovered "Bastards Can Do 90".  Tribute to one of the best movies ever made.  I feel like this will be one of many posts today while I lounge around watching football.  Make sure you check out The Phantom's SoundCloud page for more great filterhouse.

La Lokomotiva

I was trying to come up with my own list of favorites for 2010 and realized that most of them are tracks from 2009!  From those I would say my favorite track from 2009 is a split decision between Fake Blood's I Think I Like It and Mowgli's London to Paris.  If your DJ'n an electro house party and have never taken London to Paris for a spin I highly recommend you try it. Here is Mowgli's latest preview for a January 20th 2011 release for La Lokomotiva Ep.  Funky

The Future And The Past

 

Good evening, how are you?  I hope your well, I'm fine thanks for asking.  So I've got a couple of my daily favorites from December 17th 2010.  Two up and coming new releases and one older classic house tune.  

Mercury - Spiritual (excerpt) by Gomma

This Mercury Ep out on December 31'st is going to be the bomb.  The fine folks over at Slothboogie tuned me in on this yesterday and I'm hooked, lined and sinker.  Check out the rest over at the Gomma SoundCloud page.

&ME - Bye Bye (Extract) by &ME

Next I've got a sweet track from &Me that is coming  out on a compilation called "It Began In Africa Vol. 2 " This particular track feels very NightSluggsish, I'm really enjoying it today.

John Tejada - Sweat (On The Walls) (Original Mix)

And for a finally here is a blast from the past, 2008 to be precise.  I heard this in a mix the other day and have decided it will be a great purchase to add to my repertoire.  I've probably mentioned this before, but I love clubs that get so hot the walls sweat.  Maybe it's because girls wear less under these circumstances.  Any thoughts?  Have a good weekend, play safe.

Schmoooooood

 

If you need something to help you relax, just listen to this a couple times.  I listened to it on the way home from work and I could see a clear change in my mood after three listens and even bigger change after the sixth or seventh.  Don't know much about the release of this track but I can promise you everyone will want it.  Fill your pipe, put your slippers on, light the fire and relaaaaaaax!

Le Paris Social Club

Flight Facilities - Paris Social Club '70's DJ Set'

If you are partying at Le Paris Social Club, you've got to step your game up as far as fashion goes if you want to get noticed.  I recommend the above outfit.  I've listened to this  Flight Facilities mix that came out last month a couple times and it just gets better and better every time.  I was snowboarding today, and this came on and it was so soothing going off some soft hits listening to some 70's/edits.  This set is probably the best 70s set I've ever listened to.  I thought I would break it down a little and share with you a couple of my favorite highlights.  I didn't get all the originals, switched it up on a couple tracks.  Follow the Paris Social Club 70's DJ Set if you want the full track listing.

What Have You

Enough holiday music, let's groove a little.   Give the gift of music this winter, go out and buy someone their first legal MP3. Buy this, he or she will like it.  And if they don't they will probably re-gift it to someone else.  This is my favorite store.

I can't decide what I love more, this really cool picture of Zeds Dead or this outstanding track of theirs.  Either way its an all Zeds Dead evening for me.  I wonder if these guys are DJ'n using Ableton Live with their APC40?

Laidback Luke + Gina Turner = Nouveau Yorican

I have no idea how this equation got by me so long.  Earlier this year I was really into this track from Nouveau Yorican called "Boriqua" and never had any clue it came from a side project from one of the worlds best.  Laidback Luke and Gina Turner are Nouveau Yorican and their latest release is out  pretty sweet and out on Beatport tomorow.  Here's a preview:

Salt 'N' Lowrider

I am absolutely loving this Lowrider track from Christian Fischer!  I'm not sure if this is a real title or not,  I came across it on a youtube video via a reddit post and can't find any official release.  Then I was doing my weekly Beatport browse, and came across another gem.  Not quite as good as this Lowrider track but pretty damn close.  Hope you guys are having a nice week and aren't buried under the snow yet.  Watching peoples misery in Western New York made me happy as this means Holiday Valley might be opening next week.  Pow Pow!
