I have literally been obsessed with this remix for the past 24 hours. Literally. And I don’t mean the figurative type of literal that sorority girls use (e.g. – “Oh my gosh, I am literally dying right now.”) – I mean that I have been bumping this track non-stop for the past day, praying it doesn’t get old too quickly.

Throwing down a funked-out version of The Weeknd’s “Wanderlust,” the UK-based homies Snakehips will have you on your feet as soon as the vocals fade in, making it a prime addition to your party playlist. By far my principle nominee for the track of the week, turn this one up loud. Literally.

Chill, Deep House | Editors – Honesty (Dinner Date Remix)

Posted by on February 9, 2014

Editors - Honesty (Dinner Date Remix)
Simon Shout’s deep house moniker, Dinner Date has been on fire since his first remix hit the interwebz and went number 1 on hype machine two separate times. He takes this 2013 tune from UK band Editors and adds his own chilled out deep house spin on it. Distorting the vocals, and reforming the percussion with some of his own, Dinner Date (probably a great one) mixes in subtle key play and guitars to create a soooooothing new tune form the Editors’ original. It’s another free download from the Miami based producer, so grab it now for your Sunday into Monday blues.

Electro-House | Futuristic Polar Bears – Back To Earth

Futuristic Polar Bears - Back To Earth
Possibly the best name going right now in dance music, UK trio Futuristic Polar Bears release their powerful, grounding festival production “Back To Earth”. First unleashed by label boss Hardwell at TomorrowWorld, this has already become a weapon in many DJ sets, including W&W’s recent ridiculous ASOT 650 effort in Russia. I have not been this excited about a tune in this style since Blasterjaxx “Fifteen” came out in September, so don’t over think it and grab the track below.

UK producer Paul Gilmore hits us with an indie deep house remix of 19 year old singer Lucia’s “Days” that will get you in the vibe in no time. The remix makes the original production more lively, and seductive, who’s playfulness could work for the dance floor. If you’re looking to get lost in a colorful melancholic moment for a few minutes, add this one to your chill/ambient playlist. I also suggest you check out more of Paul Gilmore’s music on his SoundCloud, and get that free download! This is a must listen and a must download!

Our friends over at Monstercat hit me with a track by UK duo Lets Be Friends “FTW” that is leaving me completely stumped and inspired! Rarely does my jaw drop, and lead me to ask “what the fuck is this?” in the most positive way possible. Lets Be Friends went hard with this production, and as the title states, they went straight for the win! If you happen to add this to your playlist for the car, make sure you check your sped-o-meter, you might catch yourself doing over 100mph and not realize it, that’s how hard this goes. This is hands down a must listen and support by copping it on Beatport!

Bass, Deep House | Funkystepz – Loveshy EP

Posted by on January 14, 2014

If you haven’t already, meet Funkystepz, a UK-based bass//garage//house//whatever-tickles-your-fancy producing collective. I’m still playing catch up from my holiday hiatus but their latest release, Loveshy EP, is not to be overlooked. In fact, it’s a really well-rounded EP, with a deep house feel running consistent throughout however also considerably versatile and experimental featuring some incredible vocals. These guys have provided you with a perfect track for whatever mood you may be in. My personal favorites include “Feel The Vibe” feat. Monique (oh, you’ll feel it alright) and the über-funky-moomba-house meets Jersey club, “Light Up” feat. Sim Devine. The EP is available for free download, as well as most of their other releases via Facebook. Get down on it.

Bass, Deep House, Mix | NVOY – Twerktape

Posted by on January 11, 2014

Deep house duo NVOY showcase their sophisticated, dapper style in their sophomore mixtape, Twerktape, redefining the world’s most exploited dance trend in a way that I can totally get down with. In fact, I tested out this mixtape at a pregame the other day and results show that 10 out of 10 party goers were observed to be grooving during playtime. Not bad. Highlights include a variety of refreshingly new (to my radar, at least) deep house and bass tracks, all your favorite NVOY originals, and a remix of “Gas Pedal” that is absolutely legend. So put that champagne on the rocks and the speakers on loud and watch the ladies flock, folks.
