The winners of the Bass+ DJ contest powered by discodemons.net have been chosen by the jury, and judging from their mixtape they’re more than ready to rock the wall of bass at SUB club on Friday, May 24th. Daniel and Lukas have both been DJing for three years now but only recently joined forces to form Dismantled, an up and coming DJ duo from Vienna spinning deep house, UK bass and future garage music. Here’s their entry for the contest, catch them on stage on Friday!

Start your week with the latest episode of my monthly mixtape series. Dunno why, but it turned out quite pop this time, but you’ll also find some sweet new club tracks in there, a feel good indie song and an unreleased remix by myself. Sit back and enjoy.

This month’s cool cats:

► Noah Hyde (Boise/USA)

This rising Amercian producer has amazed me with his Youth Lagoon remix about a year ago. I don’t like the word, but this track is truly epic and it doesn’t sound dated – even after a year (which is, as we all know, a long time in this industry). His latest remix is solid as well and available for your downloading pleasure.

► Crystal Fighters (London/UK)

The UK lads have their second album in the pipeline: Cave Rave will be out by the end of may and is full of alternative-dance-pop magic. You can get the Gigamesh remix of You & I for free.

► The Chainsmokers (New York/USA)

I have to admit that I’ve never heard of them before their excellent Phoenix remix. They call their style “Indie Progressive House” which, I think, is pretty accurate. Not everything they do is my cup of tea, because some tracks have this huge big-ooom-house vibe, but as I said before – the Phoenix remix is excellent and in my opinion way better then the original track.

► Blende (London/UK)

You can’t run from Blende because he always delivers great stuff. Now you can download his fantastic remix for Azari & III. This is excactly how a disco tune in 2013 should sound like. Be sure to check out his latest EP Synapse as well.

► Attari (Brussels/Belgium)

Attari aka Renaud Deru, formerly of Mustang can do nothing wrong at the moment. His remix of the Propellers’ Midnight Kiss is a bass-driven indie-dance bastard with a 90′s clectroclash vibe and some very neat vocals. The track is yours for the price of a like.

A few hours ago Daft Punk have released yet another teaser for their upcoming album Random Access Memories (in stores on May 21), showing the two robots in a room full of futuristic machines (that are probably supposed to look like synthesizers). After unboxing the vinyl and putting the needle on the groove, the first few bars of Give Life Back To Music, the first song on the album, can be heard playing. One more week to go!

La Felix hasn’t exactly been a stranger in the past year, with this being our eighth post now featuring his music – and yet little is known about the guy responsible for one of the most persistent earworms I’ve ever had in my entire life: no biography, no location (wild guess: New Zealand), no pictures.

His latest work is an incredibly catchy remix of Yuksek’s upcoming single Last Of Our Kind (release date May 13), featuring Danish vocalist Oh Land on vocal duty. With a bright piano, funky little string stabs and some serious low end added to the mix, the rather trippy original is being reborn as an upbeat pop song you just can’t help but play over and over again.

Austrian dubstep producer Dead Battery has come up with a somewhat unexpected treat for his fans, breathing new life in The Notorious B.I.G.’s all-time classic Everyday Struggle. “I felt like doing some hip hop the other day.” he explains on SoundCloud – and the result is nothing short of amazing: smooth piano chords and Biggie’s incredible flow backed by a beat powerful enough for club dancefloors.

Austria’s very own A.G.Trio have remixed their fellow compatriots Allen Alexis‘ upcoming single Who Cares (taken from the 2012 album Different Believers), proving their versatility once again with an unexpectedly slow and moody take on the fast-paced original. These guys never fail to surprise – loving it!

After the release of the all-amazing Phosphenes EP last year, Jägerverb has joined forces with Belgian imprint Lektroluv once again for another big release. Aptly titled Titan EP, his latest opus is a solid three-track package consisting of the title song Titan, a gritty club track that does its name justice, Daisy Dukes, a UK garage-inspired jam starting out rather harmlessly but soon hitting you with a rock-solid drop and Betamax, my favorite cut on the release, putting a twist on garage sounds and warehouse basslines.

The EP will be out in exactly two weeks, so keep your eyes on Beatport on May 20th. Also if you’ve got a spare minute head over to the full set on Lektroluv’s SoundCloud page for what’s got to be the most hilarious press release I’ve read in quite a while…

Alright, here’s some funky indie-dance to cheer up a hectic Monday evening: Swiss producer Ryan Riot (yes, the guy who’s hosting The Indie-Dance Report mixtape series each and every month here on discodemons.net from now on) recently put his magic remix fingerprint on The Other Tribe’s catchy tune We Should Be Dancing, taking things to the next level in terms of synth arpeggiator awesomeness. With early support by the likes of Lifelike, Punks Jump Up and Jerry Bouthier, you’ll probably be hearing this cheerful little song a lot in the future…

Scotland’s fastest rising stars in synth pop CHVRCHES have remixed US pop duo MS MR‘s new single Hurricane from their debut album Secondhand Rapture, turning the slow and rather dark original into an upbeat homage to the glittering age of pastel color suits and bright synth stabs over slapping basslines. So good.
