After scoring Tune Of The Month twice for their track Faith and their Bad Life 1 EP on both Mixmag and DJ Mag, autoKratz are definitely on a roll at the moment – currently reaching a new peak with their latest track Splinters. The list of early supporters reads like a who’s who in electronic dance music, with Mustard Pimp (“YES!”), Don Rimini (“Yeah! Love it!”) and lots of other big names putting their seal of approval on Splinters. Not much to add to that, hit play and forget about Monday!
I have always loved this song but found it hard to play it out in the clubs due to its tempo – so here’s an edit of it for you all to hammer out in your DJ sets! I’ve pushed the tempo a bit, rearranged parts of the original to create more build-ups, added extra drums and fx, a new bassline plus a completely new synth hookline, and generally fattened it up a bit for the club. Hope you like it, constructive feedback much appreciated!
Big thank you goes out to my German buddies The Teenage Mutants who did a great job on mastering the track – if you don’t know them, check out their stuff on SoundCloud! Shout outs also to Cedric aka Big_C, Moneo, Lorenz from l0r3nz music and Thomas aka DJ Len from dancendancen.com for helping me out with feedback here! Also, don’t forget to check out the original and the music video by the The Glitch Mob, it’s nothing but amazing!
Remember La Felix? After receiving massive blog love and Top 3 on The Hype Machine Charts for his amazing remix of Aloe Blacc’s I Need A Dollar, he’s done it again: His latest work is nothing but a showdown between two of the probably most influential producer duos in modern electronic dance music: Daft Punk vs. Justice, robots vs. rockstars, pyramid vs. cross. Work it harder, make it better, do it faster – and show this guy some love on Facebook!
Even though work is definitely the last thing I want to hear about right now, this is still the perfect track for lazy Monday evenings, no need to say more. If you like what you hear: The 2 Bears‘ debut album Be Strong was released today and is available on iTunes (and probably everywhere else), just saying.
It seems to be a certain characteristic among skilled producers to just pop up overnight – as with The Offender, a young Austrian producer who recently caught quite some attention for his debut track Nerdjacker: a stomping acid techno monster made for big rooms, with early support rolling in from names such as Blatta & Inesha, Fat & Ugly and Dunjinz. And as the best things in life are always free, here’s an exclusive 320kbps MP3 download!
Usually somwhere in between Yuksek and The Magician, Austrian electro pop duo Allen Alexis have obviously been listening to old Giorgio Moroder records a lot lately: The Madonna Version of their latest track Here Tonight is nothing but one glittering homage to the days when there used to be disco balls in clubs (and probably a dozen of brown or pink Ferraris parked outside). Enjoy this free 320kbps download of this disco masterpiece to get your weekend started!
Today is a good day. Not only has the sun been shining all day long, but also did I just find out that one of my favorite bands of all times is about to release a new studio album in two weeks. – and as if that wasn’t enough good news, I found this fantastic remix of Sexy Boy in my inbox this morning. If you like Air, you’ll love this! Kudos to Theatre Of Delays from Berlin, Germany!
Mr Oizo + Boys Noize = HANDBRAEKES – the collaboration the end all collaborations.
Callgurls, Riho, The Qat, Milc: 4 huge tracks, handcrafted by two of the biggest names in electronic dance music, setting a benchmark in the scene. #EP1 will be out on Boys Noize Records on February 6th, 2012. In the meantime, here’s the full EP to stream.
Also, stay tuned for my interview with Boys Noize himself next week.
To be honest, there are not much remixes of the last Justice album that I really liked. Ironically, the real big names -Para One and Brodinski- were rather mediocre and disappointing, while upcoming talents like Das Heat did a very good job. (To be fair: Mickey Moonlight’s remix was fun, too.)
Anyway, here’s the by far best and most sophisticated remix so far, brought to you by a regular name on this blog: Monsieur Adi from Paris, France (where else?)! His approach to Ohio is a laid-back yet amazingly grooving electronic ballad with strings, choirs and even a guitar solo. Download this masterpiece in its full 320kbps glory exclusively on discodemons.net – remember where you heard it first!
