#OCCUPYDANCEFLOOR

New release out on Beatport from the Netherlands own Kraak & Smaak feat Romananthony. With big remixes from Chocolate Puma, Hint,and Solomun (my favorite!!), there definitely won't be protesters crowding your plaza dropping this tune.

Limited Edition Tilly

Til von Sein's album LTD features guest some sweet guest collabs from Tigerskin, Chopstick, Catz n Dogz, Fritz Kalkbrenner, Aera, John Hester, and more. With a wide range within the chill and deep side of the electronic spectrum of sounds, this album delivers in so many unexpected ways. My favorite jam is the title track LTD. Tilly takes you on a drifting ride with this little jem, disco stabs gently roll in and out over a swirling hat pattern. Very nice tune. For more on TVS, head over to his soundcloud page. See below for a recent mini mix he made to promote the album release. JAMZ!!!

Cozzy D and Dodha dropping a bass heavy number with lush padsand an old school deep house groove in the form of 'White Lightning'. One of the bigger numbers on this release comes from No.19 and Hot Creations rising star, Miguel Puenta. Filled with low sub bass and a chuggy 4 on the floor, this is the one you pull when your ready to get things moving!

The weather outside is frightful, but the R&B is so delightful

The album also showcases some newly signed talent like Matt Fear and Sean Roman. Here's a sneak peak at Hot Waves 002 due to be released on Nov. 14 and is sure to make waves!!!

Evel Diablo

Heard this one on a Bonar Bradberry mix from the Dog and Pony Radio show. Love this tracks wobbly synths and jamming vocal refrains. Overlaid with a guitar groove that just makes your ass want to shake, this tune is a winner. Neil has been the head jock at El Diablo's Social Club in Manchester since 2003. Sharing the booth with pretty much all the hottest disco dj's of the modern day, he knows his way around a dj set and a dancefloor or two. Get it on your platter here.

Hipper than Hipstaz

Cooler than the guy that fixes your caramel macchiato pretends to be, Pillow Talk's debut release on Life & Death (imprint started by Tale of Us), The Come Back EP crosses the conventional genre descriptions with a true dancefloor bomb that everyone can get behind. Featured on Laura Jones Fabric Promo and already getting serious play (and props) from a wide range of DJs, from the deep & soulful Wolf + Lamb and Soul Clap crews all the way to the banging bass centric Justin Martin, I'm sure this San Fransisco duo will be whispering sweet nothings in our ears for a while.

Coming to America !

Edit Murphy STRIKES AGAIN! We saw the Motown Edits drop last month with huge response. Mercy and It's gonna be have been on replay in my studio, car, ipod, and mixes ever since. Dancefloor tested, the Motown edits are crowd pleasers. This one is no different and delivers one of the best versions of this track to date. This remix really takes the track deeper and a bit more introverted than the original or the Ahmed stomper. This is by far my favorite version of the modern hit by Miguel Campbell of previous 'motional fame, outcross records, and Hot creations. Don't sleep on this one, it will be gone before you know it! Smashing!

Pets Recordings

Catz and Dogz imprint Pets Recordings is at it again. Celebrating 18 months in business with the release of "Friends Will Carry You Home" a compilation of exclusive new material split over three EP's. The second in the series features new tracks by Bubba and Maceo Plex that are sure to keep things moving. Look for this release coming soon! (11/7 Vinyl 11/14 Digital)

Kastle

Download
His music can be described as a mix of R & B, atmospheric Dubstep, 2 step, Future Garage, you get the point, its forward thinking bass music and its wonderfully melodic. Here's a remix he did for the Weeknd!

The Slug

Falling hot on the heels of their smash remix of Different Morals and a release of their own on Hot Creations, Clockwork (c/w) is at again. The Slug is a late night masterpiece with eerie vocals and a low slung bass line that's sure to please.

In the Begining There was........

Classic 1980 NYC disco jam, later remixed and female vocals added by Paradise Garage's own Larry Levan, this original cut is a piece of house music history.

All your systems.....

Grab your pacifier and glow sticks, cause this shit is a rave CLASSIC!!!!!!!

Maison Musique

Once a Hip-Hop DJ from the ghettos of Paris, world-renowned techno/house music producer Alain Ho aka DJ Yellow is credited towards developing what is now recognized as the “French electronic sound” – starting with the launch of Yellow Productions with Bob Sinclar in 1993 – hosting Dimitri From Paris and Alexander Robotnick – to his current imprint, Composite Records, that he shares with Tiago Fragateiro – hosting Dubfire, Dyed Soundorom and Alex Arnout.

Always staying ahead of the curve, Yellow has touched on many genres within his own musical productions and has put forth some of the most beautifully haunting deep house tracks this year.

Huge support by Seth Troxler and Maya Jane Coles on this one

Don't Spread Rumors!

Classic jam of the day. Rumors, brought to you by Timex Social Club. What a tune!

nobody fucks with the Jesus!

Jesus Pablo was a recent discovery of a good pal of mine, who then in turn got my ear turning towards his grooves. JP's house sits on the tech side, but has a real streak of melody and groove. His key skills are out of this world as is his sense of tonal progressions. Here is one of his more recent tunes on the remix shift for The Guzalos on their track called Uno. Check this out and prepare to be uplifted as this jam does not let down. Also, check out his remix of Modja's classic vocal ditty, Lady. (free download!) Thanks for the DL Jesus! Keep your ears out for upcoming tunes from this maestro as he has some great output !

It a Spiritual Thing

[Suara 041] Benny Rodrigues - It's A Spiritual Thing by Suara

Suara comes back to release vinyl with the first record on the label of Benny Rodrigues, well know for his releases on Be As One, Ovum or Saved. "It's A Spiritual Thing" is an old school track very dreamy and timeless, the deepest side of this Dutch techno militant. Patrick Chardronnet (Connaisseur / Poker Flat) made his very own interpretation. The result is something really deep and epic, a lovely piece of house music. The second track of Benny is also named "House Music" and keeps that classic way of the whole EP. The original is a dancefloor peak time tune, quite toolish but with a very powerful groove. Bulgarian duo Surrealism (liebe*detail / Dig Deeper) keep the 90's feeling, but bringing it to a disco mode. His "Daft Funk" remix reminds the gold times of the French touch. 4 tracks and 4 different styles, but the same spirit.

Ellum me tell ya something!!!

After a string of hits in the past year, showing up on labels like Hot Creations, Visionquest, Crosstown, Turbo, and Get Physical; Maceo Plex/Maetrik is starting his own imprint and releasing its first EP. Ellum Audio's inaugural record is scheduled to drop on Nov. 21. with two sex nasty tracks from Mr. Plex, "Stay High Baby & Aint That Love" There is no doubt that this label will be one to watch!!!!

Lip Syncing

Green Velvet has always rocked top notch jams. He and Russoul got in the studio to put this beast of a jam together. The bouncy percussion is poised to move your body. Not much else to say about this one, enjoy!

Tiger and Woods "Wiki & Leaks" 01-15 by As You Like It

Don't Trust a Big Butt and a Smile.......

After its near death at the hands of its bastard child(dubstep), garage is starting to make itself heard once again. Fresh off his 'Tarantula' and 'Set The Tone' EPs, Ossie gives us a nice lil mix of a familiar 90's destroyer for a free download Here

Go Brooklyn, Go Brooklyn

Medlar's "Terrell" hit dancefloors hard when it dropped back in June with its Moodymann-like atmospherics. Now, Wolf Music has enlisted UK production duo Bicep to turn in some remixes for the upcoming Wolf 009 sampler EP. Made during the New York leg of the pair's recent tour, "Terrell (Bicep's Brooklyn Shuffle)" moves the track in a subtly different direction. Gone is the original's Tammi Terrell sample, replaced instead by echoed car horns and a spoken word sample that reaffirms the obvious, "New York is the shit man." Musically, the remix retains the original's chunky chords but gains some finger snaps and a strobing '90s US garage snare pattern. The resulting track blends the best of '90s Detroit and gay New York to create a fresh-sounding hybrid that will easily work discerning dancefloors the world over.

Slo Mo Girl

Delete makes his EP debut at Get Physical with 'My Own Nightmare'. A darkly collection of dirty, raw beats and sublevel booty bass: ripe for hot and heavy dancefloors the world over.
The last track is the Fur Coat Dark After Hour Mix of Slo-Mo Girl; my favorite on the EP. This track brings the bass and leaves disco at home. Dark,heavy, it demands an audience. The under the floor bass shakes your insides, as the melodies take over your mind. A great sense of unease is created through various synth effects and vocal cuts. Percussion drives track as the bass steers through the dark essence of Slo-Mo Girl.

Toby Tobias - Tomorrow's Bringing Feat. Brendan Reilly

2011 has been a vintage year for London DJ / producer Toby Tobias. Not only has he played at key clubs from Australia to Croatia, he also turned in killer remixes for Toro Y Moi and Franz Ferdinand (which is due to drop any day now) and he continues to impress with his own Tracky Bottoms label. "Tomorrow's Bringing" channels the spirit of 80s New York dub-disco and Larry Levan's extended druggy epics, complete with a strong vocal and supa-fat bass. More Music back the original with arguably their strongest remix package to date. Toby’s own version has been augmented by some brilliant reworks from Bicep and Hot Creations man of the moment Lee Foss - two hot potatoes who have taken the original version and taken it to a more upbeat house direction. From the soulful original to a cool, muscular house mix from Bicep to Lee Foss who heads to the front of the new school class, this is a straight up vocal smash with a mix for every flavour

Dexter

Years before the Showtime serial killer, Dexter Wansel had been killing dance floors with the stealth of a ninja. While remaining relatively unknown his influence on house music and hip hop has been phenomenal. Sampled in such classic tracks as Global Communications The Way and Eric B and Rakims I Ain't No Joke, Dexter's works have continued to make you groove for decades.

Lula Circus - Miami Vice EP

They might not rock it under the big top, but these Italian boys are sure to drop some big tunes. Miami Vice has a funky 80's sound and solid groove that might make Don Cornelius come out of retirement and lace up his dancin' shoes. With big remixes by Pezzner and MANIK, this EP is sure to move your feet.

Su Su Ssudiooah!

Lain O'hare delivers a sick edit of a classic Phil Collins track. I remember this track jamming in my mothers car as a youngin. It turns out that the pop formula of yore would last and turn into a classic. With many Phil Collins tracks the emphasis lies in the hook that won't let go. Ian O'Hare turns out a wonderful edit of this track that leaves you guessing right up to the that hook. Released on Outcross records earlier this year, this jam will move the crowd and tickle the memories of those who lived through the radio life of this hit. The a-side, Radiovox, is also a jem. Once again Miguel and Matt hit the nail on the head when the picked this one up for Outcross. BUY this track here.

FREEP

Charlie and Eli and the W+L stable have been on a tear for a while now. The 1st FreEp was one of the early Soul Clap releases that broke their sound to the world and established that slow and sexy could reign supreme on a dancefloor. This installment which is the 3rd go round for the FreEp features motional favorite, MAM. This release was a W+L black vinyl only release until NOW.

From the Soul Clap blog, thank you SC and W+L for the free goodies:

'Hard to believe it’s been more than a year since our Clap & Friends FreE.P. and almost two since we kicked off the series with three slices of r&b infused house that came to define a chunk of our sound. With everything that’s happened in the last 2 years it would be easy to forget the importance of giving back, but fear not loyal clappers, we wont let you down. So for FreE.P. #3 we continue in the spirit of “showcasing unreleased, but dance-floor-tested material for free download on our website” with three certified bombs by men of the moment, MAM. But we’re getting ahead of ourselves, so let’s go back in time… It was “One of Them Nights” back in late 2009 and as usual we were at an afterparty in Leeds when a sudden urge left us very much in need of a spliff. “I got that chronic right here, blood” came a voice from none other than the track-master himself, Miguel Campbell. As you probably gathered from the podcast we just posted, it was love at first smoke and 2 years down the road the music of Miguel, and his partner in MAM, Matt Hughes have become staples in almost all our DJ sets. You can get the whole scoop on MAM in the podcast post, but to make a long story short, after the massive response we got for including “Can’t Live Without Music” on our Essential Mix we figured it was time to big up our boys with FreE.P. That is, before Wolf + Lamb stepped in and offered up a four track on their Black Label. At the time, we figured we could help give the record an extra push, but little did we know Miguel was about to blow… But lets cut to the chase, we’re so proud to have these MAM tracks as our latest FreE.P. They are 3 bonafide dance-floor bombs that have become staples in our DJ sets over the summer and are a fantastic representation of the MAM sound; thumping french-touched, sample-crazy house music, but slowed down for a new generation. First in line, “Reel Sweet” is a warmup weapon of choice, perfect for getting into the 80′s mode and seducing the crowd. Next up is “One Of Them Nights (Alternative Mix)”, a special version of one of the most requested MAM cuts off the Wolf + Lamb Black release. This interpretation is guaranteed to get you down, Mr Ocean would be proud. Last, but certainly not least, is “Can’t Live Without Music”, the jam that started it all. Its a slowed down, bass-heavy vocoder workout that is a personal favorite and a theme song for our journey along this long road we call music. YEAHHH BOI!"

The MAM FreE.P. by Soul Clap / S.C.FreE.P.

I can tell by the look in your eyes

Always have loved this track by Modjo, and it has been remixed more times than i can count. This remix by Jesus Pablo is a nice refresher that really leans on the keys and the acapella. Pablo is yet another UK export tha is delivering the goods. With a liverpool HQ, Jesus rocks music and fashion, check him out! I am a sucker for tracks that i have heard a million times, but are made new, this jam will get the floor going and will flash back those who know. download ala Pablo

just dance, and move yo body

again greg delivers a great edit of a jam that will eternally spin no matter what form it is in. Bring that piano back, and just don't stop. Nothing else on this one. Thank you for the DL mr. Wilson. Go on and...... BOUNCE! and a little something for the imagination: not new but not un-nasty either: missy says
