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

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

Tre’s Zip

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!

Dark & Stormy – Rasta House

Dark & Stormy brings us some of his unmistakably brilliant sounds in the form of this brand new two-track EP.  The title track, Rasta House, is a dark tech bomb, with the levity of tripped out Rasta vocals.  The not-to-be overlooked B-side, Can You Feel It Coming On, is a banging new tech masterpiece that brings flavors of 303/Hotfingers, Made to Play, Toolroom Records and Juggernauts of the like to a simmer, then adds a pinch of underground.

CaPa – Aurora

This week CaPa‘s Aurora EP dropped on Harkee Records and I couldn’t be more excited. The EP is massive, delivering a wide range of takes on the already exceptional title track, Aurora. CaPa has really blurred the lines here, producing a track that takes you on a journey through different EDM sounds and genres. Aurora starts as a techy jam complete with intelligent percussion and a melodic, well-produced melody. Just as you think you have found your groove the track drops you into a big room explosion that would make any progressive house head sweat.

Don’t miss this one folks!!! [Purchase Link]

Introducing: Danalog

Our buddies at Metamimetic have just put out an exciting new release from Danalog - the moniker of Daniel Lobel – one of the pioneers of South Africa’s ever growing techno scene. Hailing from Cape Town, Danalog’s new track ‘Tuna Julia’ is a dynamic monster of rolling kit and big builds, giving a nod to the snappy percussive sounds of Sebastien Leger.

• Danalog – Tuna Julia (Original Mix) √+ [Beatport]

Bonus:
While you’re at it, grab a copy of Danalog’s ‘Bloc Party – Signs’ bootleg which he’s giving away for free via his soundcloud. Mellow tech-house vibes, I’ve been feeling this one a lot…

Boozebus – “Wasser” and the Stefan Heider Spring 2011 Mix.


Promo Mix – Spring 2011 – Part 2

This mix completely floored me, took my breath away and stole my heart.  Then our beloved fans quickly won my love and admiration on the GDD Facebook when they immediately ID’d the intro track which had, for the last week, completely eluded me.  Download the mix from SoundCloud, feel free to help us work out the other track ID’s in the comments section and we’ll do our best to keep you posted on both Stefan Heider and this elusive, groovy duo from Stuttgart, Germany named Boozebus.  Great name.

Here’s the intro track:

Boozebus – Wasser (Original Mix) by Boozebus

“Wasser” is water in German.  Happy Friday.

All my best,

Pan-Pot – Captain My Captain (The Remixes)


Pan-Pot‘s most recent endeavor, Captain My Captain (Mobilee Records) was no doubt a tech-house head’s dream come true. Yesterday, the remixes of the EP’s title track Captain My Captain were dropped with impressive names ranging from Booka Shade, Daniel Stefanik and Rodriguez Jr.  Each artist gives us their own take on the November 2010 smash hit, from Booka Shade’s dark, driving and sinister remix to Rodriguez Jr.’s melodic, mellow and groovy take.

This EP has something for everybody.  So don’t miss this one folks!

MNML TEK-HAUS


photo: 8mts

IS the day and age of the ‘banger’ dead? Will another noisy Italian duo emerge in the latter half of ’09 with hand claps, chain-saw synths and chest thumping bass? Eh, probably not…but the electro-fistpumper’s step cousin Mr. MNML has been garnering the attention of many of your favorite artists and DJs, so be on the lookout for some cleaner drumlines and more boops and tings. Enclosed for your listening pleasure are a few of my favorite in the ‘genre’: NOOB, Afrojack, Lazy Jay, Pablo Decoder (highly recommend for any DJ who gets stuck with the late-night sets, or if you tend to play at a lot of raves)

• Dance Area – AA 24/7 (NOOB Remix)
• Lazy Jay – Float My Boat (Pablo Decoder Remix)
• Afrojack – Polkedots
