We first met Nic Xedro when we played in Berlin the first time and from that fun filled, sweat infusing live show of his we knew that we hadn’t heard the last of him.

His debut single “See You In The Club” dropped yesterday on Crushed Records and comes packed with some powerful remixes from label heads Purple Crush, Krames, WZRDZ, Leif and Boody B. Included in the package is the remix from two of our favorite French dj’s/producers, namely the club destroying duo known as Kazey & Bulldog who brings us their signature b-more heat that contains an evil yet infectious synthline twist + a remix from Australian newcomer Hugga Thugg who just relocated to London and he gives us an intense electroish party starter of a remix.

“There is an air of mystery that surrounds Nic Xedro that is both confusing and intoxicating. Like a hipster T-Pain with a Soho artist following akin to Basquiat, his music oozes metrosexuality with a yearning to discover his pop sensibilities. And it doesn’t stop at the recordings; his live show is like watching a circus with dancers, freaks in masks, and a silent spotlight carrying character who follows the diva as he saunters across the stage. The scene gets set, the vibe sinks in, and the audience is left thinking about one thing, sex.”

Hot on the heels of their recent European takeaover, Purple Crush release the first single “Busy Boys” (will be released on November 18th) which is taken off their latest EP “Blog Party”. The EP has already seen alot of exposure on the blogs.

This remix by Krames starts out as a venture into a darker electro sound than we’ve heard from him in the past but then about halfway through the track hits a break, in comes the B-more horns and then you know where he takes it. Other remixes of the single comes from South African ghetto duo Sweat X, Danish producer Jens Fokking, label mate Mike Genius, Palms Out Sounds affiliate Norrit and the track’s namesake The Get Busy Boys.

Mike Genius is releasing his debut EP “Formula” on Crushed Records in two weeks and to build some buzz we just received a track from it. Isla from Purple Crush tell us that this song has been a killer as starter track on their way cross Europe. I believe her.

Just had to do this post about a mega party that the fine people in Swim Fast are throwing tomorrow night at Debaser here in Malmö. The night will feature performances from Brooklyn blog favorites in the electro/hip hop/dance/80’s/booty duo Purple Crush, Swedish technopop connoisseurs The Field + more bands and a ton of local dj’s. If you’re in the area, this is a must visit.

This track “Go Digital” is a storming updated 80’s disco track that sees Purple Crush team up with rising NYC rapper Leif. Check out the new Purple Crush album “Blog Party” that was just released.
