House | Justin Jay Announces Fantastic Voyage Album By Releasing “Weatherman”
Posted by Tay on March 23, 2016
It’s not very often that we see an album from a house and techno artist, but Justin Jay is not a typical artist. The youngest dirtybird has spent the last year pushing the boundaries of his music creatively, teaming up with his college friends to incorporate live instruments and elements of blues, jazz, soul, funk, and rock into his typical house production to create a new side project, Justin Jay & Friends. He debuted Justin Jay & Friends with the release of “Karma,” which was a resounding success, and helped pave the way for Justin’s Fantastic Voyage tour.
Now, Justin Jay is putting it all together for an album – Fantastic Voyage Part 1 – and he’s just released the first track off of his magnum opus, “Weatherman.” Featuring Benny Bridges on guitar and Josh Taylor on vocals, “Weatherman” demonstrates Justin’s matured take on production and evolved stance on house music, as Benny Bridges and Josh Taylor take the lead on the track with a heavy guitar lead and smooth vocals that are more fitting for a blues track than a house record, while Justin deftly gives “Weatherman” his signature groove. As Justin explains, the Fantastic Voyage album is a release about exploration and getting out of his comfort zone. The album will be released in a unique manner, as the 12 tracks will be split across separate EPs and released on separate labels to showcase the unique, varied sound of each individual track that are all tied together by one thing – Justin Jay.

Kungs has been the man behind some of the biggest pop remixes that we’ve heard the last couple of years, including his remix of Coldplay’s “Clocks,” John Legend’s “All of Me,” and Bob Marley’s “Jammin’,” and he’s just delivered the perfect remix of OMI’s “Midnight Serenade” as we make our way into summer. The whole remix album for ME 4 U is out now, but Kungs remix stands head and shoulders above the rest, as the up-and-coming star injects “Midnight Serenade” with a groovy house backbone that will tear up dance floors around the world.

Albums, House | Germany’s Alle Farben Takes On Hooverphonic’s “Badaboum”
Posted by VMan on March 13, 2016
I’ve had this ditty on repeat for the last 2 weeks so now would be a good time to share, and the word “cool” doesn’t do it enough justice, this is soulful energy in a song. Germany’s own Alle Farben took Hooverphonic’s “Badaboum” to Berghain vibes, and I’ve never been, though this is the kind of music I imagine being played. There’s a return to the roots of dance music geared towards the club, and it’s all about getting people dancing (and not raging), and feeling good. I co-sign this remix hard, enjoy your Sunday!
