Did you somehow miss Wolfgang Gartner on his recent Love & War tour?  Well shame on you, nothing beats the live experience…BUT do we have a treat for all those who missed out!

[PIAS] Recordings Celebrates 30 Years of Music, Gives GDD™ Exclusive Vitalic Mix

HAPPY 30th!

[PIAS] Recordings had humble beginnings. Founders Kenny Gates and Michael Lambot established [PIAS] as a distribution company in Brussels in 1982 before expanding that business into a record label of the same name. Years went by, and more and more music was released and distributed by the company, including an impressive and eclectic roster of talent — Soulwax, Grace Jones, Mr. Oizo, Dinosaur Jr., Royksopp, and many, many more.

To celebrate this milestone, [PIAS] will be giving away heaps of exclusive, unreleased, unheard content from their roster over the past 3 decades, and today, we’re happy to be a part of the celebration as we give away a new, exclusive remix from Frenchman, Vitalic.

Vitalic celebrates with a mix!

GDD™ Interview + Exclusive Track Preview w/ Rising Progressive House Artist Paris Blohm

Paris Blohm

Born and raised in LA I’m sure it makes Paris Blohm proud to see his hometown become the epicenter of the burgeoning United States dance music scene. Having been producing for seven years now, he seems to have finally hit his stride professionally and musically, after taking the plunge and committing fully to his career as an artist. The former delivery driver sits down to answer some questions with yours truly about his recent name change, stepping out of the bedroom into a big-time studio, and recurring nightmares about his stint as a delivery driver.

GDD: First thing’s first, as it’s a bit of a GDD™ tradition, what’s your drink of choice?

Paris: A good ice cold sapporo with hot sake. But that’s just picky, whiskey ginger does me well.

[DOWNLOAD] Mosh’s Monarchy + Exclusive Mix

I was truly taken aback when I first heard Mosh‘s full-length album Monarchy.  I felt like I had time-traveled back to 2007, when French electro acts like Justice and SebastiAn ruled the roost.  I remember after Cross dropped a plethora of people began to experiment with DAWs, attempting to recreate those magical rock-inspired French grooves.  Now nearly five years later, Mosh has succeeded where most have failed.

Mosh’s album Monarchy is a true full-length album.  Mosh has not only managed to make Monarchy listenable in its entirety, but has also made it enjoyable from start to finish.  Monarchy encapsulates everything that made 2007 seem so special, throws it into a blender and serves it up cold.  The album really has it all: hip-hop inspired house beats, dark distorted bass lines, head-nodding grooves, and most importantly, power.

Mosh was also kind enough to put together an exceptional mix just for you.  Both his album and the mix are available for FREE download below.
