Deep House, Electronic | Huxley – Inkwell EP

Guest post from Swedish house maniac, Rebecca.
December started out pretty dope. The new Stockholm-based one day festival, ”November Lights” on the 30th of November welcomed December with a pyrotechnical masterpiece – namely Tiesto’s 2.5 hour set. There were of course other DJs playing that night, but they faded away in the shadows of the highly financed, visually grand performance. I had troubles getting up from bed for a week after from my poor, sore body.; the indicator for a good rave and my bad physique.
As most people now tune in on the ready-made Christmas playlists, I can’t really face it yet. There are still a couple of days left until Christmas hits with maximal power, and I try to enjoy every moment left before it’s time to travel back home to my family and loop Michael Bublé’s velvet soft version of ”It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas”.
So, today I filled my ”Super Soft” playlist with a super soft package: the brand new EP release from Huxley. Inkwell is my favorite, and I match it with a cozy bed and fluffy duvet. Dive in below.

Drum & Bass, House | Rudimental – Not Giving In (Original + Remixes)
Posted by Middy on November 18, 2012
The group responsible for the worldwide smash, “Feel The Love”, gives us their follow up effort “Not Giving In” that lives up to the hype created by “Feel The Love”. The original serves up the same winning recipe of “Feel The Love”, bringing out the soulful nature of drum n bass meshing together John Newman’s vocals in his follow up appearance with the group, fitting horns and smooth drum n bass. Phaeleh and Bondax provide some more down-tempo remixes of the track, while Loadstar does just the opposite and turns up the tempo and adds some elements of dubstep to track. Huxley gives a techier take on the track, going for a almost total makeover. The video, shot on location in Manila, tells the diverging true stories of 3 time breakdancing world champion, Mouse, and of his older brother, leaving us with one of the more moving dance music videos of the year.
