JACQUES GREENE FAITHFUL


 jaques greene - faithful


Jacques Greene's latest single Faithful is a deep grooving house piece that evokes the feeling of being in an ultra lounge set in space. Oliver Daysoul provides the vocals that arch nicely over the prevailing futuristic beat and melody, providing a nice soulful element to this nu-lounge track. Watch out for the wide, offbeat bass that wants to take over your soul about three quarters of the way through. So good.

JUST KIDDIN THE ONE


The One is an easy listen by UK duo Just Kiddin. 90s percussion prevails with bight, pitched changed vocals, and a booming bass. This single is just waiting to fold right into your playlist, and we can see why. It's on trend yet holds its own in the sea of throwback electronic going on right now, particularly as it isn't a remix. Keep it coming!

POLIÇA TIFF DOC MCKINNEY REMIX

POLIÇA  - Tiff (Doc McKinney Remix)

POLIÇA was one of my favorite bands of 2012, hands down. Tiff features Bon Iver's Justin Vernon and gets a brilliant remix from Doc McKinney. McKinney sticks withPOLIÇA's usual style, staying raw and pulsing, while adding some nice trip hop elements to drive the song through. Great preview for what is coming up next!

Their new album Shulamith is out October 22nd.

THOMAS JACK! THE FINAL SPEECH FT. ADRIAN SYMES

Thomas Jack! - The Final Speech Feat. Adrian Symes

Coming out of left field is Thomas Jack! with one of his recent tunes, The Final Speech. The vocal track is taken from Charlie Chaplin's speech The Great Dictator - Great Speech For Humanity and paired with the deep house element (just wait for 3 minutes in) and Adrian Symes on Sax, it becomes an emotive and chilling piece. Brilliantly built and produced, we say chapeau sir

SUFJAN STEVENS TO BE ALONE WITH YOU THOMAS KERN EDIT

Sufjan Stevens - To Be Alone With You (Thomas Kern Edit

We are SO excited to bring you Thomas Kern's edit of Sufjan Steven's To Be Alone With You.  It's a killer rework adding in a solid foundation and a chill beat that becomes more and more hypnotic as the song progresses. Kern drives this mellow track with a picked up percussive beat that ebbs in and out of the original beautifully.  Listening to his Soundcloud page he seems to pave a particular talent for working within the original structure of a track and enhancing it so that it retains its character, yet becomes something new entirely at the same time. Take a listen and grab a free download from his Soundcloud!

RYAN LESLIE ADDICTION PHAZZ REMIX

Ryan Leslie - Addiction ft. Cassie & Fabolous ( Phazz Remix )

Ryan Leslie's R&B anthem Addiction get's an electro make-over with French producer Phazz's new mix. He keeps some of the B&B elements and then cuts it all into a pop-and-lock style jam that will keep playing in your head long after the song is finished.

L'aquarium Blow Your Mind

Parisian producer and Wanderlust resident L'Aquarium released a track over the weekend called Blow Your Mind.  It's a banging nu-disco track that really epitomizes everything I love about the genre: sweaty vocals, especially Jeremy whose voice is intoxicating, a deep synth bass and bouncy melody, and a kicking beat. It's has dance party written all over it and those lyrics stick so fast, you'll be singing along by the end of the track.  Check out his Facebook page too for his Aquarium Radio sets.

STRFKR WHILE I'M ALIVE LENNY KISER REMIX

STRFKR - While I'm Alive (Lenny Kaiser Remix)

Meet San Francisco producer and DJ Lenny Kiser. His latest track is a remix of STRFKR's While I'm Alive and it's seriously rad. I'm particularly fond of the song selection since the original is so bare [read: boring] and it's nice to see a DJ really be able to show off their sound within a remix.

The drum machine/synth bass combo give the track some body and paired with the tropical kettle drum-esque melody, it really finds a groove. Props to the timing on the whole track as well, while the vocals on the original are fairly monotonous, Kiser brings them in and out at seemingly all the right moments. You know you've won when your mix sounds like it should have been the original, and this track is no exception.

Events are listed on his Facebook page and he also teaches Ableton classes in SF so check out his site below!

FUTURE FEELINGS - AIN'T EASY


Space-disco, electro-funk producer Fernando Dimare aka Future Feelings debuted his new track Ain't Easy today and it is everything your disco soul could desire. It's a space age funk homage and Dimare gets super dirty on the beats creating an intense disco-funk dance track that is kind of blowing us away over here. You can tell FF has got some skills, he's been in the industry since 1996 and his particular technique and blend of styles shows it in its tight production. Ain't Easy  features David Ruffin's vocals and samples of Thanya's Freedom which is just awesome in and of itself.

Go ahead and front all you want about not liking or listening to pop music. There is a reason this shit is infectious and the page views don't lie. Chris Glover aka Penguin Prison doubles up that sentiment with his just-out remix of Maroon Five's Love Somebody. Glover adds his signature poppy synths and well rehearsed breaks to make an entirely new song, using cuts of Levine's vocals to make up part of the melody for the track. It's catchy as hell and if your body doesn't start moving you just might be dead inside. So you should probably check on that.

COSMO SHELDRAKE RICH FT. ANNA ROO


Cosmo Sheldrake - Rich Feat. Anna Roo

Slowly ease yourself in to Monday with Cosmo Sheldrake's Rich featuring Anna Roo on vocals. The 23 year old British producer/musician creates a nice little world with this track. Roo's vocals are quite and cute and the minimalist sound goes well with the accompanying percussion and harp. The acordian also lends itself to an Amelie-like cuteness that is hard to resist. His sound is definitely against the grain and I struggle to classify it as one genre or another - which makes it stand out so much more.

Super soulful remix of Fink's Maker by Parisian duo Synapson. If you have never heard of them before, check out the post we did a few months back highlighting some of their sounds. Basically they are amazing. 

Maker is a very stripped down track to begin with so it's nice to see their particular edits shine through. They add some blues and soul elements, rounding out the bass with some piano and light percussion. Even the phrasing is perfection. Synapson has a keen talent for mixing a song to where it sounds like their version has just got to be the original, and Maker is no exception.

MARLENA SHAW WOMAN OF THE GHETTO FLUME'S JACKIN HOUSE MIX

Marlena Shaw - Woman Of The Ghetto Flume's Jackin House Mix

Flume's latest work, a remix of the great Marlena Shaw's Woman Of The Ghetto for the Verve Remixed: The First Ladies dips just a bit into the breadth of this producer's talent.  Hot off of his release for Disclosure's You & Me Flume has become quite a force. His approach in terms of style and genre seems to be that he finds what works best for the track, instead of forcing a certain style upon it. His remixes then seem like a no brainer, a type of "of course this is what compliments that track" mentality.

Woman Of The Ghetto has a pounding bass that will unquestionably get you moving, but is by no means heavy handed. The subtle organ track that comes in around a minute in is the highlight of this track for me. It hold all the emphasis and just creeps in and out of the spotlight throughout the overall track. Excellent sampling work too, Shaw's vocals stand pure and the music just falls into place around it. Bravo.

LET'S GET WEIRD :: NAVID IZADI FEELIN' PURPLE

A1 Navid Izadi - Feelin' Purple

We'd like to introduce you to San Francisco's very own Navid Izadi, and his new EP Feelin' Purple out on Wolf + Lamb. Let's just begin with the fact that this title track is AMAZING. Izadi excels in simplicity of sound and in turn creates something so easy and good that it's still taking me time to process. We've got a max of 5-6 different layers, a rarity in the electronic world or trends we see today ( excluding minimal, DUH, and even then it's like 30 ambient pops and squiggles).

The super fresh Casio beats mixed with organ and a hazy house bass take up a majority of this track, and then he sings. DAYUM. Feelin' Purple channels Prince for sure on this and it's nasty. Like in the good way nasty. Like it makes your body want to move in new ways and you scrunch your nose a bit because your brain can't process the awesomeness coming into your ears. Seriously are you still reading this? LISTEN TO IT.

Looking for a chill Sunday track? Julia Losfelt has got you covered with her cover of Mount Kimbie's  You Took Your Time.  This was the first track in my stream this morning, and damn. Both tracks are great but hold different things. Losfelt's version uses the same ambient background sounds but switches out the percussion for guitar licks and chillwave soundscapes. It's stripped down and minimal, but in a way that still retains your interest. Her vocals have this curious power that leave you wanting to hear what's next.  The bass towards the end is a nice touch as well, subtle and complimenting.

Lindstrøm - Vos-sako-rv (Fred Falke Remix)

French house producer and DJ Fred Falke takes a nice turn on Lindstrøm's track Vos-sako-rv and it is an utter delight. A big fan of both producers, there is something to be said when a remix is done not just for the sake of it, and to really create something unique. Arguably more toned down than his normal pop selections, this is a nice palate cleanser coming from Falke. Lindstrøm's original features some heavy base and a lot of synth beats reminicent of a tripped out ride into space. Falke maintains the overall feel while delivering something entirely new out of the main part of the track. The synth melody is there, but he strips the original bass and adds some strings and a house bass and middle line that makes this track explode. Side by side below for your comaprison. Enjoy!

Riva Starr Featuring Carmen Consoli No Man's Land New Album

Italian producer and East London import Riva Starr (Stefano Miele) is out with his first album since 2010! Most of the album so far is a bit poppier (and arguable more accessible for mainstream) staying along the lines of his early January release of Absence. His track No Man's Land takes it away though. Carmen Consoli's vocals are fantastic, and the "triptangowhatever" vibe is a perfect blend of cuban chillout. Bonus if you're a nerd and think it sounds like that one song from the Fifth Element. Hand In Hand is out July 1st through Snatch! Records. Dig it.
