Our buddy Steve Slingeneyer, or One Man Party and the drummer of Soulwax, has a seriously admirable taste in music. Besides being the percussive force behind one of the greatest dance music acts of all time, Steve also enjoys a bit of DJing as well, much like his band mates the Dewaele brothers of 2ManyDJs fame. Driven by this love of DJing, One Man Party has just released a brand new mixtape featuring an unbelievably cultivated tracklist featuring Justin Martin, DJ Pierre, Justice, a few tracks from OMP himself, and everything in between. Download it for free and check out the exquisite tracklist below. √+ Continue Reading


If you know any of us personally, you know that Mylo is one of our all time favorites.  The infectious groovy, funky, and always fresh material has some of the longest shelf-life I’ve ever experienced up there with the likes of Daft Punk & The Chemical Brothers.  I’ve been itching to post this track for so long, as It’s been my favorite of the new year, but under strict order from Sir Mylo himself it was only to be used in my Gooch Tape #4, until NOW!  His remix is part of the M83 – Reunion Remix Package, and this is quite the match made in heaven.  Now lets hope Mylo and M83 have a “reunion” of their own and continue to make beats together!

Earlier this week, we featured a new remix from our pal, BetaTraXx, for the ever-popular Indie Pop band, fun., and I mentioned that he’d be releasing another remix for the powerhouse label, Big Beat, in mid-May. Well, today we are fortunate enough to premiere that aforementioned remix, and leaving eloquence aside I can say that it’s very, very good. The release takes a percussive, almost breaky journey through the new single, ‘Arms,’ from Philadelphian singer/songwriter/babe, Christina Perri. ‘Arms’ features beautiful, powerful vocals and lyrics from Christina that BetaTraXx percipiently featured in the remix while simultaneously adding in an undeniable dance aspect. Pick it up on Beatport May 15th. √+

Las Vegas by-way-of Provo Indie band, Imagine Dragons, has seen a fair amount of success in the past few years, with a major step occurring at the end of last year when they signed with Interscope Records. Their big time single, ‘It’s Time,’ charted in the US and UK, and now, of course, it’s time for some remixes. Although the identity of the new alias, Famties, has yet to be revealed, it’s obvious that whoever is putting this remix together has some solid production experience in both the Pop and Dance realms. This remix from the mysterious Famties hits hard, yet still clings on to the Pop sensibilities of the vocals. Stream after the jump! Continue Reading

Our good friends from San Francisco, The M Machine, have just released the first half of their debut album today on Skrillex‘s OWSLA imprint, and as always with this terrific trio, we’re impressed. The M Machine take influence from Deep, Dark Electro and Dubstep and pair it with Indie sensibilities, creating an extremely unique and refreshing sound. In that vein, not only do Ben, Eric, and Andy produce a thumping dancefloor vibe with tracks like ‘Immigrants’ and ‘Shadow In The Rose Garden,’ but they touch on a more vocal-driven style with ‘Faces’ and ‘A King Alone.’ Needless to say, after hearing these first 6 tracks I can’t wait until Metropolis Pt. II is unveiled. Stream all 6 tracks of Pt. I after the jump. √+ Continue Reading

The French duo BeatauCue have been turning heads since their humble formation in a college dorm room.  Consistently pumping out impressive originals and remixes, the two young producers have shown no signs of slowing down. With nothing but a bright future ahead of them, it seems like BeatauCue are destined for huge things, which is why I was so excited when they agreed to a quick interview for GDD!
