Throwbacks | Valentines Slowjams Chapter VII
Posted by mimada on February 14, 2014
I’m gonna go ahead and say this mixtape is either exactly what you’d expect or quite the opposite coming from Hudson Mohawke (probably the former if you’re a regular of this mixtape series), but I can say with certainty it is exactly what you need on this special day. Take a trip back in time and find out what love sounded like when your parents were gettin’ their groove thaang on, complete with all the sexy saxophone and backup singers you could ever ask for. Light the candles, sprinkle some rose petals, run the bath water and let the fun begin…

Hip-Hop, Indie, Videos | Times New Roman – Diamonds (Official Music Video)
Posted by yabishcic on February 5, 2014
Some of you might remember Times New Roman from my interview with him a couple months prior to this post, and he’s back with some visuals for his banger. “Diamonds” off his “Demo” tape has caught attention from multiple blogs and it’s well deserved. With a little soul there, and a little hip hop here, and some dashes of indie and mo-town all in one, there’s no way TNR won’t strike your ear the right way. Help the one and only Mr. Bolton celebrate his first visual premiere by watching “Diamonds” and get your groove on to some good ass tunes.

We’re back in the groove of things with my first post of 2014, and lucky for moi great music found me with Sam Feldt’s latest release “Closure,” a smooth deep house record to keep you warm during this freezing Winter. This is Sam’s first solo record meaning no collaborations or remix, and his second track over all. You might remember me posting his remix with Dennis Kruissen of “Alien.” Enjoy this free download and look out next week for his collaboration with De Hofnar. If this is how Winter sounds like, I can’t wait to hear what Spring 2014 will sound. This is a must listen!

On December 17th and 18th, Mixify will be hosting the second edition of its “Unity” festival with a host of notable talent like Chocolate Puma, Arty, Norman Doray and more. Today, the festival is announcing through its 7 media partners, us being one of them, the 6 artists in the first wave of acts. They are: Arty, Norman Doray, Chocolate Puma, Will Sparks, Swanky Tunes and Paris Blohm. While waiting for this exciting event to start, one can kill some time on popular pages such as Kcasino.
We will be presenting Dutch veterans, Chocolate Puma’s set on 12/17 at 4pm. The duo have had a stellar year, racking up remixes for the likes of fellow festival attendee, Norman Doray, Kaskade and Major Lazer, while also releasing tracks on Steve Angello’s “X” Recordings and several on Spinnin’. The duo will bring their upbeat brand of house music to the festival, giving it a groove you won’t find from the other artists on the bill.
The whole festival has been put together to raise awareness and funds for disaster relief in the Philippines, following Typhoon Haiyan. Fans are encouraged to go to UNICEF‘s website to see how they can help with their efforts in the Philippines. Phase 2 artist announcement to come shortly in the next few days. Check out one of Chocolate Puma’s sets from this fall to see what you are in store for on December 17th. Enter here.
Electro-House | DCUP – Magic
Posted by mimada on December 5, 2013
You know what the best feeling in the world is? Well, one of them, for that matter – when you’re mood and inspiration starts to plateau and then all of a sudden you hear a song that, within seconds, gets your blood rushing again. It’s 1:15pm and I was already three cups of coffee deep and couldn’t seem to shake the zombie feeling when I stumbled upon DCUP’s latest release, “Magic.” I’m a little out of touch with the American audience at the moment (it’s snowing over here in Sweden for the first time so I’m kind of out of touch with everything, tbh) but I think this Melbourne-based producer has been sneaking by, under appreciated and that needs to change. Actually, you might remember DCUP from “We No Speak Americano” back in the day, and you’ll recognize some of those funky latin vibes in “Magic.” But give this one a spin, it’s a bit of a 80’s groove, Duck Sauce-esque, touch of house cocktail with an Australian twist. Just what you need to spice things up.

Progressive House | Bee Gees – Tragedy (Forever Kid Remix)
Posted by A on September 12, 2013
I don’t take submissions anymore. When I receive them, I usually trash them. This new Forever Kid remix caught my attention, and rightfully so. While little is known about Forever Kid, what I do know is that they’re a Swedish production duo that are taking the blogosphere by storm with their infectious nu-disco tunes. Their take on the Bee Gee’s “Tragedy” is no exception, showcasing a nostalgic summertime sensibility that is worming its way into the mainstream. Feel the groove. Cool? Cool. Hat tip to Aaron Harper.
