Ladies and gentlemen, my pal Tre and I are very pleased to bring you the 51st edition of The Dirt this week. Lots of good stuff in here as always, so scroll on down and check out our favorites this week. Remember to support these artists and buy the full EPs and high quality tracks on Beatport!
FEEL GOOD HOUSE
• Noob – Spell (Original Mix) √+ [Beatport] *192 Kbps
This is an uplifting little number from the producer from Bordeaux known as Noob. Released in early October on the Sound Pellegrino label, the Spell EP has already gained some big time attention, including a spot on Digitalism’s I Love Techno Chart on Beatport.
JAARTRONICA
• Nicolas Jaar – Don’t Break My Love (Original Mix) √+
Just released this week on his own Clown & Sunset label, Nicolas Jaar‘s Don’t Break My Love EP is a pure auditory delight. Always unique sound from the 21 year old phenom.
CREEPY TECHNO
• Torb – Rubidrama (Original Mix) √+ [Beatport] *192 Kbps
French producer, Torb, put out Mars Premier as the latest release on Cassius Records, and all 3 tracks on the EP are fuego. Supported by Boys Noize, supported by GDD™.
PARTY IN THE MOONLIGHT HOUSE
• Fonzerelli – Moonlight Party (Tom Glass Remix) √+
I love this song. Brings back memories from a long time ago when we used to blast the original of this song in the dorms (FT) at UCSB. Great new take on it here from Tom Glass.
DOESN’T GET MUCH GROOVIER THAN THIS HOUSE
• Zombie Disco Squad – Piano Man (Original Mix) √++ [Beatport] *192 Kbps
Out on the Made To Play imprint last week, Zombie Disco Squad‘s ‘Piano Man’ is my new favorite single by the guys. Equipped with 4 different mixes of the original, this release is a must have. Buy the whole thang on Beatport now!
TRE’S PICKS
PSYCHEDELIC IDM
• FuzZ – Deep *320
FuzZ never has produced anything I didn’t love and Deep is no exception. Deep lures you in with a complex and long intro, only to drop you into a mellow, groovy and psychedelic wonderland that is similar to the best Flying Lotus beats. This track is not one to miss folks, click the link and grab the MP3 now!
FEEL GOOD TECH-HOUSE
• YO Bill – Teddy Jammin *320
YO Bill has been kind enough to give away this track exclusively on this weeks dirt! Teddy Jammin is as technical as it is catchy, which can only be a good thing. The track’s groovy vocals have been mixed in with YO Bill’s recognizably intricate percussion to bring you a guaranteed dance floor hit!
JAW DROPPING TECH-HOUSE
• Colour – Frequencies Modulate *320
Many of the die-hard Tech fans have been watching Colour with amazement, it seems the English producer really can do no wrong. Don’t believe me? Grab Frequencies Modulate, take a listen and you can send me your apology later. The track takes you on a dark journey that resonates retro-house chords, complex percussion and intricate synthesis. Seriously, grab this jam!
MELODIC ELECTRO
• THIEVES – Pousser *320
The up and coming Los Angeles natives, THIEVES always impress me and Pousser is no exception. It’s an original groove that speaks to the duo’s rock roots.
LATE NIGHT LATIN GROOVES
• Desantarosa – Cuando La Noche Es Buena *320
Speaking of up and comers, can you believe this kid is only 15!? Keep an eye on Desantarosa, I predict big things!
A couple days ago, musical progidy Nicolas Jaar put out his latest EP, Don’t Break My Love, on his label, Clown & Sunset. Now, I might be a bit biased as I’m a fan of everything this young man puts out, but these two tracks are experimental bliss. Each layer of each track is carefully placed and positioned in a way that only this groundbreaking producer could do, and the vocals are the sweet gravy that runs on top. Unbelievably and very graciously, Nico is giving away these two bits to you for free. √+‘s all around.
