Are you enjoying the resurgence of breaks as much as I am? Here’s the first original from SANGERS & RA, who drop bass more than your older sister drops her pants.

Sangers & Ra feat. MC SirReal – Nasty (Original Mix) [AVAILABLE NOW @ BEATPORT] by Sangers and Ra

Grab the single from beatport.

I thought I heard enough Drake to buy some champagne and spinny rims, but this tasty bootleg from Brisbane’s SANGERS & RA will let me embrace my inner wigga a little longer. Kidding of course, mostly because I’ve never been a wigga and this tune doesn’t focus on the vocals.

DEEPAK SHARMA + DIETER KRAUSE + AMBIVALENT

Written by manalogue. Posted on August 24, 2010. Filed under minimal, remix, stuff my wife would like, tech house, techno. Tagged , , , . No comments.

Let’s be honest here, the blog world is a tad saturated with electro and frankly, electronic music needs to get back to it’s roots.

Deepak Sharma + Dieter Krause

Thankfully there are producers like DEEPAK SHARMA and DIETER KRAUSE who consistently turn out techno and tech house to keep me moving in the dim light of those long nights. Setting a new standard, New York City’s HIDDEN RECORDINGS offers a new release that demands attention and brings a sharp focus to the emerging label. What makes label owners’ Deepak Sharma and Dieter Krause “The Great Lawn” noteworthy is not the amazing collection of top shelf remixers, eight to be exact, but that none were affiliated with the label. All eight producers were brought together out of a love of the original source material and a respect for Sharma and Krause’s growing body of work. The diversity of the material on the single spans every inch of the techno spectrum, from deep late night insanity to vintage Detroit analogue electronics.

They sent us the AMBIVALENT remix to share with you. The track adds some stealth and muscle to the release, but at the same time it’s also lean and sinewy. The scant but efficient melodies only serve to feed the beat of what is essentially a build-up record. What is most noticeable about this track are the missing elements that serve as a reminder of the track’s intense starkness, which is exactly what minimal is supposed to do.

Christoph Andersson

CHRISTOPH ANDERSSON didn’t exactly have the upbringing associated with that of a robotdisco cyborg, yet at age 18 he stands poised to noodle his way into the playlist of many like-minded djs. Born in Washington D.C., Christoph time in Germany before relocating to New Orleans as a toddler. In the town long associated with either Jazz or Metal, Christoph was more or less left to his own musical devices which doesn’t really explain why or how  Christoph’s tight, funk influenced bass lines are instantly catchy. Early on Christoph reworked New Orleans legends like The Meters, hit “Fire On the Bayou” into an up-tempo secret weapon for southern dance floors.

His melodies make any robot swoon.

Sky Ferreira’s debut single ‘One’ has been winning fans left, right and centre – not least Radio One who last week added her to their playlist. She did a rather entertaining interview with R1’s Tom Deacon for his 5.19 show where she talked about Katy Perry, Russell Brand, Jedward, Robert Pattinson and how she was discovered on myspace.

Fedde Le Grand - Rockin' High

Dutchman FEDDE LE GRAND shouldn’t need an introduction, afterall he released “Put Your Hands Up For Detroit,” one of my all time favourite tunes. Since that single dropped, his profile has been growing bigger and bigger and well, bigger.

I was pretty excited to see his latest appear in the inbox but had a huge amount of skepticism with BENNY BENASSI attached to it. Let’s just say NICKY ROMERO‘s remix, full of it’s 21st Century tribal-like drums makes up for everything.

AC SLATER + CROOKERS + YELLE

Written by manalogue. Posted on August 19, 2010. Filed under bass, remix, wobble. Tagged , , , . No comments.

Trouble & Bass‘s AC SLATER has quickly become one of the most sought after remixers and producers with no sign of slowing down. Raised on 90′s Hip-Hop and nourished by old school rave, AC has cultivated these influences to give birth to his own style of music production. His latest is no different. He adds more bass than seemingly possible to the CROOKERS and YELLE colab.

DJ AGENT 86

Light Speed Recordings

Taking his cue from the late 80′s acid-house classics, “Microdot” is a rollin’, 303-drenched, synth-monster with heavyweight kicks & a sleazy bassline. Also featured in this release is a proper uptempo, disco-house reworking from those masters-of-the-bass-guitar, DROP OUT ORCHESTRA, and a hyped, funky-breaks banger from the unstoppable NICK THAYER.

The single is released on August 27th, but the folks at LIGHT SPEED RECORDINGS let DJ AGENT 86‘s radio edit.

It’s a new beginning for Winnipeg’s BEAUCHAMP, kind of. He’s releasing his latest single, ‘Pigeons’ as a free digital download in the near future & it will include remixes from some of Canada’s finest up-and-comers. Winnipeg’s JPEG has done up a nice mix as an early bonus for the release.

BEAUCHAMP – Pigeons (JPEG Remix) by planetshhh

Also known as MIKE B of GOODFORM fame, it seems as though the local promoter and DJ has his fingers in everything good this city has to offer. Last week Goodform waved good-bye with the departure of Mr. Rob Vilar who retired his Thursday night residency at the best weekly Winnipeg had. With Rob’s departure Mike B thought it was only fitting to retire the Goodform name as well.

Mike B and Thursday night parties at the Lo will go on however. The official re-launch of the night (with a brand new name) will take place September 02 – but the party will party going in the meantime NIGHT BY NIGHT. This week, DJ CO-OP serves as the special guest.

TWR72

TWR72

 

The Walk and Rogerseventytwo started to work together as dj’s in the summer of 2004. Soon gigs followed in the Netherlands, including festivals slots in Prague, Paris, Copenhagen, Bratislava, Berlin, Freiburg and London. In 2007 AMSTEREO was born – their own party night that rocked Amsterdam with guests such as Teenage Bad Girl, Les Petits Pilous, Aysam, Danger, Breakbot, Djedjotronic, Hey Today!, and Scenario Rock. Their name, as dj-duo as well as individual dj’s grew rapidly in Holland and the rest of Europe. It was in 2008 when Erol Alkan himself dubbed these guys as the ones to watch in the future. And he his right.

Now known as TWR72, their latest venture is another release on INSTANT REPLAY. “Tunnel” is a painfully progressive tune that acts like hot, glowing embers, heating dance floors up to point of spontaneous combustion.
