Jakwob – Fade [Le Youth Remix]

It’s always a treat to hear something new from our L.A. compadre Le Youth.  The sound of Le Youth transcends the overly familiar brands of tropical/deep/nu disco sounds we’ve been over exposed to over the last few years.  Le Youth has created a brand of electronic all his own.  It’s a modernized throwback sound that fuses together all the right elements of sunny disco & old school house.  His latest remix of “Fade” by Jakwob balances that disco/house sound brilliantly.  Whether it’s billowing through the speakers at a club & filling the room with joy or sweeping over the sands of a beach party, Le Youth’s remix of “Fade” will keep any party going, daytime or night.

The absolutely stunning Kid Sister will be performing live tonight at CONTROL at the Avalon in Hollywood.

We will also be holding down the GDD™ House Party room tonight with our friends from Techno Color Kids as well as the lovely ladies of TrippensoXx, so come have a drink with us in the room directly to the right of the front of the stage.

Wassup dirty dancers?! After a stonking weekend here’s a healthy dose of dubstep and IDM to aid you with your recovery…

19 year old experimental producer Shlohmo has interested me a lot lately. Part of the WeDidIt collective up in San Francisco, he’s been heavily supported by Flying Lotus and Gaslamp Killer‘s Brainfeeder label and recently featured in Crookers guest mix for Annie Nightingale on BBC Radio 1. Watch this space, the future holds big things for this guy.
+ If somehow you still haven’t had your Crookers fill from Bones’ Tons of Friends preview last week, here’s their guest mix for Annie Nightingale:
glitchy goodness. Here’s the tracklisting…

1. Dem Hunger – Peugeot Pregnancy
2. Shlohmo – Antigravity (Low Limit Remix)
3. Floating Points – Truly
4. Crookers feat. Miike Snow – Remedy (Accapella)
5. Crookers feat. Miike Snow – Remedy
6. Four Tet – Sing
7. Die Voegel – Blaue Moschee
8. Shlomi Aber – Sketches (Be As One)
9. Novalima – Machete
10. Basic Soul Unit – Dank
11. Machine Drum – Carry The Weight (Demo)
12. Crookers feat. Roisin Murphy – Royal T (Accapella)

From Melborne Australia, The Temper Trap are a breakthrough indie act that should be on everyone’s radars for they’ve recently scored remixes from Adam Freeland, Axwell & Dirty South. They’re playing Music Box at the Fonda in LA this Wednesday, and again at Coachella in April. Here’s the latest single ‘Fader’ remixed by Jakwob:

If that’s a little too soft for you, here are a couple of heavy hitters you may have missed first time around:
raw dubstep and a filthy drop
Banging electro wobble. Made to play loud
…….

More grimey dubstep from one of my favorite Trouble & Bass artists – Philadelphia-based Starkey is killing it on the production front. Currently touring in Europe, fingers crossed for another North America tour because this guy’s sets are wild.

dirty basslines interspersed with chilled orchestral licks. win
I couldn’t run a post about Starkey without posting the title track off his Stars EP that dropped today. Mellow out to this one:
This is a post-night out track. Kick back to it and get led astray by Anneka’s vocals

Cheers,

GDD™ under the sheets.

I know I know. It’s about time we covered the new Ellie Goulding single. Believe me, I love it just as much as you. I was just waiting for the right time to give the lady the respect she deserves. Her new track, “Under The Sheets,” is absolutely fantastic; a great song with lyrics that give me the tingles that Imogen still does from Speak For Yourself.
The main reason I waited to expose this song on GDD™ is because I knew that there would be some superb remixes in its wake, and (not to toot my own horn) I was right.
Check ‘em. This woman is unbelievable.

Thought I’d do a quick post for you guys this week as I’ve gotten some great stuff in my inbox over the past week or so. There’s a little bit of everything in here so check them all out and see which of them are up your alley. Have a good Veteran’s Day tomorrow!
Amazing housey track here. Just put me in a good mood. RIP MJ. Check out evenflO’s website here.
You know what to expect here and you get it. Mean track. (cheers sean)
Play this in your living room at 5AM when it gets weird.
Another feel good uppity dubstep track from the talented Jakwob.
Hope you enjoy this wonderful cornucopia of different sounds and give a high-5 to someone you don’t know tomorrow. Never know, it could make your day.
