FNT was first to put you on to ACADEMY, and their latest single “This View” off their EP Moving Methods is one you’re not going to want to miss! The guys had sent me this track a few days back, and I’ve been so deep into deep house music, I wasn’t ready for it, but this Thursday morning seemed like the right time to press play, and the quality of the sound is what brought me in. Their ditty like, laid back production, produced by Sean Kongery, overlayed with their trademark reggae/ska vocals makes for the perfect rainy day Summer jam. This is a must listen and a must download!

Exclusive, House | FNT Premiere: PLASMA – Burning Like the Sun (Mirco Niemeier Remix)
Posted by Middy on May 26, 2014
Swiss electro rock band PLASMA on the heals of the release of their debut artist album “Replay Terror”, take things more electronic with the remix pack for their single “Burning Like The Sun”. We have the premiere for Berlin based Mirco Niemeier’s remix who varied sound makes him a perfect candidate to take on the tune. He goes for something more progressive and cheerful then his techno and minimal cuts, adding a a groovy drum beat, mixing the original drums and his own elements underneath a playful piano melody.
House, Progressive House | Eric Prydz – Pjanoo (Laurent Iacomucci Bootleg)
Posted by Mel on May 5, 2014
Take a good look at the young man in the image above because not only does he clearly have top-tier pectoral muscles (thank God for tight v-necks am I right ladies?), but he is also helping to revive the groove filled style of progressive house that was so popular prior to the genre becoming mainstream and switching to the euphoria driven sound. Laurent lacomucci is a 20 year old from the tiny country of Luxembourg and has broken away from his string of originals to put his own spin on the Eric Prydz classic, “Pjanoo”. The signature piano melody as well as the background arp remain but they have been reworked to fit into a groove heavy context. Everybody thought that Ja Rule and Ashanti were perfect together when they did that song back in 2002 but times changed and groove in house music took a back seat to Ashanti and uplifting chords so it’s nice to see young producers reverting back to that classic style.

This post of Moodblanc’s latest release “Something” is way overdue, and I’d like to personally apologize to the Swedes. I’ve had this track on repeat since the minute they sent it to me, and I guess the music was so good, it made me forget to share it with all of you! Mixing 80’s pop with that popular nu-disco sound that has been making its rounds through out the internet, the guys manage to put together the perfect Summer record to take with you to the beach, or to sing to your lover channeling your inner Prince. You got that somethinggggggg, this is a must listen and a must download!

The talented Njomza returns with a brand new track “Explore You” along with a music video, in which she takes us to Hippyville, USA with a Woodstock-themed video. If this is your first time hearing of Njomza, she has an upcoming album in the works o on Mac Miller’s label REMember, along with projects with Vic Mensa and Rockie Fresh, and quite frankly, I’m excited for all of that! Blending reggae riddims and soulful vocals over jazz composition makes for the perfect vibes! This is by far a must listen!
Deep House | Cocoon – Cathedral (Dinnerdate Remix)
Posted by Middy on April 29, 2014
Simon Hoppe has turned in the aggressive electro house records of his past for the chilled out tunes of Dinnerdate that he is putting out now. This may be the chillest remix he has done yet, perfect for sitting out on a mountain lake watching the sunrise with friends. He has loads of new music soon, including an EP, so let this freebee tide you over until then.

Electronic | Disclosure – Latch (Lido Remix)
Posted by mimada on April 16, 2014
Less than a week ago I posted a Disclosure remix by up and comer cln. and in doing so, highlighted the importance of originality in these ubiquitous Disclosure remixes in order for them to break the surface, hit the big time, soar to the top of the Hype Machine charts, whatever. After hearing just a mere preview of Lido’s remix, it all became clear to me why this was one of the most anticipated Disclosure remixes in a minute. The Norwegian producer (not pointing any fingers this time) has made a name for himself after planting a seed in the scene long ago with his Cashmere Cat, “Kiss Kiss” remix (for you OG fans out there) and most recently, his rework of Yung Lean’s “Gatorade.” This “Latch” remix is one of the more light-hearted, warm and fuzzy ones out there, perfect for any setting or time of day. Because, you know, for a second there I almost thought I never wanted to hear “Latch” again for the rest of the forseeable future but Lido really brought back the magic from the first time I heard this track back to life. Keep your eyes peeled for Lido’s EP release via Pelican Fly and your fingers crossed for it to be sooner rather than later.

UPDATE: Apparently Soundcloud was just not having it with this remix, so instead you’ll have to listen to it hear via this slightly sketchy Rinse FM rip, but hey at least it’s something.
