Tomorrow night sees the third edition of Smuts, the club night we run together with the WooBanger boys at Babel here in Malmö. Last time we had Bok Bok and Spoek who both did a mighty fine job of trying to turn the house upside down, wednesday sees Italian gone Londoner Solo try to outdo them with his midget house sound. This remix of dynamic Milan duo Crookers track “Put Your Hands On Me” (released on Southern Fried Records a while ago) is his first offical one and for this occasion he decided to just use the accapella, transforming the track into a pure banger which has been a highlight in our sets lately.
Solo has been hard at work in the studio lately not just producing his own tracks or remixes but also producing beats. In the near future, we can expect an EP for Sound Pellegrino + a remix for Wiley and also remixes for some bigger names across the pond.
Our friends in Berlin/NYC duo The Glass have a few select shows coming up here in Europe and they gave us the fantastic dub edit from hard hitting DC duo Nadastrom of their latest single “Wanna Be Dancin’” (which you shouldn’t have missed) to promote their shenanigans over here. Also, they have a new single coming out on October 20th (on Beatport & 12″) and then dropping on iTunes (October 30th). The single is called “Superhero” and comes backed with remixes from Luke Solomon, Ursula 1000, Sam Roqwell & I Sancho , newcomer Bit Thief (amazing mix) & Brazil’s Komka.
Melbourne producer GLOVES used to be part of now defunct duo Damn Arms and he has been much talked about on the behalf of his remix workings for quite some time now, now we find his efforts on the newly released “P.Y.X” EP which just happened to be have been put out by the best label from down under, Bang Gang 12 Inches. On the EP, french wunderkind and Boys Noize Records signing Strip Steve gives us a 90’s house flavoured/discoish dub version that puts a smile on your face all while it makes you dance into the wee hours of the morning.
Our favorite Copenhagen duo, namely Fagget Fairys, are back with this new release. “Feed The Horse” is the lead single from their debut LP (drops March 30th) with the same name. We got the original, poppier version aswell as the deeper, darker, and perhaps more danceable club dub take.
Here’s electronic pop pearl “New In Town” in the form of a wobbly bassfilled burner from NYC bass champion Drop The Lime and an epic discohouse journey courtesy of French producer Fred Falke.
Luca Venezia AKA Drop The Lime AKA Curses! has constantly been killing it, no matter what alter ego he uses. “The Deep End” (will be released by Institubes in March) sees him churn out a disco/house rocker with the infectious vocals of NYC singstress Maggie Horn and now fellow NYC duo Holy Ghost! comes along and turns it into an epic 8 minute burner and also adding the lovely Nancy Whang (of LCD Soundsystem/Juan MacLean fame) to the mix.
“I decided to house up “Paranoid” from “808s…” and give it a little extra bump so you can play it out. There’s an outro and a few parts are extended a bit.”
Hungover sunday. But thanks to the good folks over at Curb Crawlers it just got much better. Here’s the L-Vis dub (vocal version featuring Leif to drop shortly) of that infectious track “Township Funk” by South African producer DJ Mujava. One of the best tracks so far this year and it will be released by Warp Records tomorrow.
Here’s the blurb from the Curb Crawlers crew:
“Arguably, “Township Funk” was one of the biggest anthems of the season (despite being over a year old). L-Vis 1990 strip down the Kwaito riddim to the bare basics, up the subs and transform the original’s tropical vibe into a moody and melancholy attitude.”
