Vancouver dj Matty C just released a little thing called the “Quarter Water EP” together with DJ Ayres of the mighty Rub. Both sides of the EP are full of useful blends and sweet updates of classic house tunes. Here’s a little something to get you to pull out that credit card.

Matty C – Good Life (YSI)

Matty C – Good Life (Sharebee)

BONUS TRACK:

DJ Ayres – Get Down (Mediafire)

The sound Matty C tends to feature in his DJ sets is more on that French/Aussie electro-disco-pop tip – so here’s a new mix he did for you all to enjoy!

Since I’m out of words on how to write another post about American Boy I’m going to leave it to the promo mail we got:

“Washington, DC figureheads Dave Nada and Matt Nordstrom first joined forces in the fall of 2007 for their weekly party “trap”. Every week after some heavy drinking, the two discussed the meaning of life and a few song ideas they had. Their initial tracks caught the attention of Dave “Switch” Taylor who immediately wanted them for his legendary Dubsided imprint. With tunes getting support from the likes of Diplo, A-trak, Tittsworth, The Rub, Craze, Klever, Drop the Lime, and Jokers of the Scene, these dudes look to set the game on fire. Here’s a preview…”

New NADASTROM EP coming soon on Dubsided! Stay tuned for an all new Dubsided website!!
