Pete Tong remixes EJ - Mama, I’m Gonna Sing

February 21st, 2012

Having already seen a remix by London DJ, Jamie Jones earlier in the year it’s time for the legendary Pete Tong to approach the mixing desk for his own house-fuelled remix on EJ’s soulful track “Mama, I’m Gonna Sing”.  The debut track has already made it’s mark all over the internet amongst bloggers and tastemakers alike.

Pete Tong is renowned across the globe for his remarkable sets worldwide, most notably at the clubbing institution, Pacha in Ibiza.  Tong has taken EJ’s soul infused teaser track and has put his own minimal twist on it.  With a thumping bass from start to finish mixed with loops of EJ’s stunning vocals layered throughout this remix is going to be hitting every dancefloor from London to Ibiza in the coming months.

With the original track already being played like crazy on 1Xtra, Kiss and Radio 1 and a final remix in the pipeline from Savage Skulls there is plenty of hype around EJ already.  Expect ot be blown away from her future anthems ‘Bangers & Mash’ and ‘Supersize’ due later this year.

After a chart topping year in 2011 where Oliver $’s - Doin’ Ya Thang track on Jesse Rose’s Play It Down label was No.1 charted track on Beatport 2011 plus was No.1 charted track of all time on Resident Advisor, we were over the moon when Gene & Oliver chose loungin’ recordings as the home for the Chubby Dubz album project.

Chubby Dubz background and origins combine all manors of influences, as Oliver is native to Germany and Gene to the US. With this chemistry comes a fusion of minds that produces great house music with enough musical soul to have real longevity whilst still keeping the dance floors moving in the best clubs throughout the world. With releases on labels such as Om Records, Appeal Music and Undertones their unique style of house is enjoying great success throughout the world as all the major heads in house music are revelling in deep house currently. The result of this is that the music of Chubby Dubz is being widely championed by everyone from Ricardo Vilalobos, Baby Ford, DJ Rolando and Doc Martin to name a few.

The Album Sampler #1 is as the name suggests the first release of 4 from the self titled Chubby Dubz album due out on loungin’ later this year. All the 12”s will feature full length versions of the album tracks crafted especially for the dancefloor plus remixes by key players from the loungin’ fold plus some very special guests! Keep your ears to the ground for more info…

With the resurgence of deep house spreading across the globe this release will be sure to hit the mark combining productions that one could be fooled into thinking came from the likes of Ron Trent, Chez Damier or more recently Nicholas. To complete the package is an Art Bleek remix of the title track; Direct Experience, delivering a late night groover that will be sure to find favour with the headz.

Label info:

After a release packed 2011 with tracks from Li’ll Bo Tweak, the ZooWax remix project (Round Table Knights, Manuel Tur & Li’ll Bo Tweak) & the Art Supplies album by Art Bleek, we hit the ground running with a new signing in the form of Chubby Dubz.

Boy Friend stream new track ‘Bad Dreams’. Debut album out this week on Hell, Yes!

February 10th, 2012

“The first great album of 2012.” – The Guardian
“A pop band in wolf’s clothing… One of the debuts of 2012.” – Dazed & Confused
“Immersed in lush (but at the same time crushing) heartache” – NME Radar
“An invite to an ethereal world that you can’t fail to accept.” – Loud & Quiet

Texan girl duo BOY FRIEND released their stunning,haunting and ethereal debut album ‘Egyptian Wrinkle’ through Italian DIY label Hell, Yes! this week (available here). To celebrate they’ve set free a brand new track taken from the record entitled ‘Bad Dreams’ – a track that captures their engulfing sound, one which is always at once both heartbreaking and soothing.

Listen to it here: http://soundcloud.com/hellyes/02-bad-dreams-1

Boy Friend is best buds Christa Palazzolo and Sarah Brown. With a creative partnership that combines different stylistic preferences and attitude with a passion for fantasy, narratives and ethereal, lovesick lyrics, their song writing is led by strong lead vocal and guitar melodies. Their layered in delicate harmonies, 80’s style ambiance, and thick atmospheric backdrops bring to mind a Cocteau Twins’ sense of dreamy excitement, whilst making a sound that is still uniquely their own.

The two have collaborated on several projects together in their 15 year friendship, but it wasn’t until the end of 2010 while going through the break-up from their last band Sleep ∞ Over that they regrouped to record their first EP as a duo.

It was a heavily charged “break-up” album disguised in hazy undertones and big choruses. The following spring they recorded their Lovedropper 7″, and by Autumn of 2011 recorded their first full-length, entitled Egyptian Wrinkle, in a friend’s house in north Austin surrounded by dogs, bongos, and plenty of warm Texan vibes.

Releases:
January 2011: Self-released Boy Friend EP on cassette/digital
May 2011: “Lovedropper” 7″ on Hell, Yes!

Egyptian Wrinkle tracklist:

Punks Jump Up Announce Free Wayving Remix of Get Down

February 10th, 2012

PUNKS JUMP UP
New Single - Get Down (Special CCCrash mixxx)
Out now on Kitsuné

DOWNLOAD & SHARE ‘Wayving Remix (Tronik Youth & Icompute)’ HERE: http://soundcloud.com/kitsune-maison/get-down-wayving-remix

Tracklisting: 1. Get Down (Special CCCrash Mixxx), 2. Get Down (JBAG Remix), 3. Get Down (Alex Gopher Remix), 4. Get Down (Fare Soldi Remix), 5. Get Down (Zero Cash Remix), 6. Get Down (Deadstock 33’s dub)

Punks Jump Up kick off 2012 with their new single Get Down (Special CCCrash Mixxx), a storming follow up to their two recent dance smash hits Blockhead & Chimes pt 1. “Get Down is our modern take & homage to Prince, Trax Records & Yello, in equal measures. We wanted to capture the rawness of the early Trax Records releases with the flashiness of Prince & the quirky playfulness of Yello’s early dance tracks. Bring these influences together, turn it up & give them a modern dance touch” say Punks Jump UP.

So say hello to Get Down (Special CCCrash Mixxx)! The track is an energetic, stripped down and catchy 707 drum machine ode to all things dance, accompanied by a catchy vocal hook and even catchier proto acid bass line, all laced and backed up by a solid percussion force. “Get Down” will surely make you wanna GGGET DOWN! But that’s not all, there’s also a bundle of fantastic remixes too.

First one up is the London based French/Italian duo JBAG, who has made some seminal remixes for Shindu & Kamp in the last year. They give it the balearic new beat treatment. It’s harmonically superb and with production trimmings to make it work even in the big rooms. Stunning! Alex Gopher, who needs no introduction as he has been one of the legends of dance music for the last 15 years and is still on top of his game, takes the track to the RAVE. It’s BIG & pumping acid house.

The Italian force (“forza”) Fare Soldi, adds the slamming disco punk to Get Down. It’s a corker full of energy and drive and sounds like the problem child kid brother of Armand Van Helden’s remix of Tori Amos – Professional Widow. Cologne dance maestro Zero Cash’s remix is wonderfully “deep”, percussive and disco but could also spend some quality time with the early works of Frankie Knuckles & Jamie Principle.  It adds the subtle melancholia the track didn’t know it needed.

UK Duke Of Dance Justin Robertson takes on Get Down under his Deadstock 33s alias. His remix, per usual, is a brilliantly wonky and playful piece of energy & creative madness. Touche Sir Justin! So there you have it, enjoy the ‘energy flash’ of Punks Jump Up – Get Down (Special CCCrash Mixxx).

Odeon marks the beginning of an era where we translate the theatre of our mind into our everyday lives.

This is the era in which the knowledge of ourselves and the world around us will open doors to our future.

you have to know something too for people to follow you.

your level of leadership is dependent on your level knowledge.

People won’t follow you when you don’t know anything.

If you don’t know much, you cannot promise them anything of the future because you don’t fully know the past.

When you know the past you are able to easily make important decisions based on previous instances. Research.

More research. More practice. Less fronting.

Go buck on the system.

We cannot expect to survive or be heard if we take the career or way of living.

The world is constantly changing; so we must find new ways to be involved with the CHANGE.

The days of WAITING for a breakthrough are gone.

We must be proactive in every field to take back control of this situation.

We must take PRIDE in our actions and BELIEVE that works, songs, deals, poems, and plans will all be prominent in these forthcoming years. The time is NOW.
