Mix | La Griffe – Les Inseparables
Posted by mimada on April 17, 2014
If you pride yourself in being coooool or trendy, or having a unique, underground taste in music then you just need to go ahead and hold your horses because what I’m about to show you about is going to rock your world. Meet La Griffe, a DJ duo comprised of two brothers, one based in France and the other in the Big Apple. Taking into account these guys therefore have two major global music outlets on lock, you can only imagine their exquisite taste and even more exquisite library of jams. This mixtape, which is apparently the 4th Volume of the “L’Amour en Crescendo” Collection, features an assortment of songs, beats, and remixes I quite frankly haven’t heard anywhere else. Don’t be turned away if you feel a little uncertain about the mixtape at first, just take a deep breath and you’ll find yourself grooving before you know it. My recommendation? While getting ready to go out tonight or anytime this long weekend, light some candles, make yourself a cocktail, download this, turn it on and let it take you away.

The vibes of the day come from the great Sango with his chilled out remix of Janelle Monáe’s “What Is Love” off the Rio 2 soundtrack. I’ve had this track on repeat since I heard it, and the beauty of this record is that it sounds organic, from the vocals to the rhythm and harmony of the production, this is some good music! If you’re in New York City this coming Saturday night and are looking to experience these vibes, Sango will be in town, along with Kaytranada and STWO mixing at 88 Palace for Dark Disco. You can find out more of the event here. This is a must listen!

It’s funky Friday, and if this isn’t a show of force by veterans Duane Harden, Powerhouse and Bob Sinclar, and New York City’s own Jay Dahbi to bring that original house sound back to the forefront, you never knew dance music. “What You Need” is off Duane Harden’s much anticipated album #NB4U which was originally supposed to be released in 2013, though was pushed back to January 20th because Bob Sinclar wanted to hop on a remix for his good friend for the good of us all. If you knew me, you’d know how much I value Bob Sinclar and what he’s brought to dance music, mixing different genres with house music before anyone else, so get familiar! This is a must listen!

The Ivy League graduate Elephante released his latest remix of “My Friends” by The Soundmen, and he continues to demonstrate why you should all be keeping an eye on the young producer. “My Friends” is a surf friendly indie-pop record that one might compare to Passion Pit, and Elephante adds a hint of Anthem House to make this track available to the DJs and EDM lovers. Give it a listen! Oh and if you want to catch the man live in the mix, you have no plans yet for New Year’s, and live in New York City, check him out at The DL bringing in the new year’s! This is a must download!

Free Download: Adrian Lau – Small Vacation (Prod. By Harry Fraud)
New York City rapper Adrian Lau begins his journey as the first artist to sign to SRFSCHL Recordings, an imprint of Capitol Records and Priority Records, lead by Brooklyn producer Harry Fraud, whom you might know as the man behind the tag “La Musica de Harry Fraud”. “Small Vacation” is Lau’s first release under the label, and I’m loving this track. The trombone on the first verse caught my attention, which just flows into a laid back beach beat to coincide with the Surf School notion. Hop on the wave, and get familiar with Mr. Adrian Lau. This is a must listen and a must download!
