What To Do?

I like to draw your attention to what I think is one of the finest newcomer house tunes i've heard all summer. I know the last post was Zev's forget the world, which is pretty hard to trump. Nevertheless this track from the young Canadian Sean Roman is excellent. I discovered it via one of my favourite blogs Palms Out Sounds so big thanks to them. Pleasing vocal hook and dreamy synths, very nice stuff....

Sean Roman - What To Do

I have a serious back log of stuff that I have been wanting to put out. Some fresher than others, some full quality some not. But almost all are four to the floor and fairly in keeping with the house vibe. So get downloading.........

The Martin Brothers - Steal Drums (Julio Bashmore Mix)

A new Martin Brothers release get a typically bassy remix from CBB favourite Julio Bashmore. Go and get the whole release it is great and has some sweet remixers.

JD Davis,Telex - Moscow Discow (Tocadisco Remix)

Tocadisco with the bouncy tech house vibe.

Tom Demac - Crewcuts & Curls (Jamie Jones' Water Cooler Remix)

Jamie Jones' sets are full of soulful, deep and sometimes funky/disco house. This remix of Tom Demac is a serious groover.

Solo - Rawmania (Rubix Remix)

One of my favourite Solo tunes getting toyed with by the exciting Dutch house/funk producer Rubix. I love the trumpets samples in this one. Those who like it Balkan or Gypsy-esque will be a be a fan of this one.

Para One - Toadstool (LOL Boys Remix)

French label Sound Pellegrino recently gave away a few tracks. This is one of the best from the group they gave away.

In true school dinner fashion i've left the best till last with this post. The slower, deeper and more detroit influenced strain of house music which hits my ears like a fast spreading infection.

Jazzanova - Look What You're Doin' To Me feat. Phonte (Motor City Drum Ensemble Remix) (128bpm)

Alongside Kyle Hall and Nicolas Jaar, Motor City Drum Ensemble is the one of the finest young producers out there. I personally consider them to be a unorthodox holy trinity of young house producers. MCDE is my favourite though he's beyond talented.

Langenberg - Jalousie

122bpm detroit style monster. I love mixing this tune ever since I heard it on a mix by Mosca.

Ilario Alicante - Vacaciones En Chile

A lovely minimal tune from Italian Ilario Alicante. Without meaning to sound cheesy this has got the "i'm still awake, fucked and finding dancing difficult at 11am" vibe. Nevertheless a really nice guitar sample. The kind of tune you would expect to here in Ibiza I suppose....

BONUS:

Slam - We Doin This Again (Julien Chaptals One More Time Mix)

Enjoy the tracks

Zero 7 remixed

Julio is back with a tasty remix of Zero 7. Wavering vocals and a thumping beat are the order of the day with this one...altogether very nice stuff from a top producer

Delphic Remixes

Delphic are a 3 piece band from Manchester. They blend euphoric sounding electronic elements with guitars and indie drumming to create a very original upbeat and danceable form of indie electronica. They have been hyped up a lot by the BBC and are one of the 15 shortlisted music acts for the BBC Sound of 2010. As of January they've been placed 3rd in the table. Their music leaves a lot of potential for remixing so it's not surprising that three of the Uk's best young house producers have stepped up to the task.

L-Vis 1990, Julio Bashmore and Doc Daneeka have all had a go. Wait till the 1.50 mark of the L-Vis track for the huge drop that we've all come to love and expect from his productions. I like this one because it really keeps the vocals of the song together in the breakdown, then smashes everything all over the place when it drops, one for the dance floor for sure.

Julio Bashmore adds the trademark pounding bassline and snappy beat, while keeping the fading synth slabs

Doc Daneeka hits up the percussive style beat and cut up vocal samples, and slaps over another pounding bassline

heavy stuff, and just another indication of the seriously good stuff coming out of the Uk House/Uk Funky crossover....

Delphic - Halcyon (Julio Bashmore Remix)

Delphic - Doubt (Doc Daneeka's All For Space Grime)

Leaving you with the video for Halcyon, which has been up for loads of awards

Around The World

I've been loving Julio Bashmore's stuff for while and he has consistently been laying out big tracks equal amounts of time. He's been in blog rotation for quite a bit but as more and more dj's play his tracks and remixes the attention has got huge. He's been signed to Claude Von Stroke's label Dirtybird, which clearly means he's doing something that's flicking switches.

These are a couple of his older tracks....

Julio Bashmore - Um Bongo's Revenge

Got to love the samples in this one, wicked percussive beat and a stupidly heavy bassline. It's got quite a funky/tribal feel to it.

Julio Bashmore - Around

I love this track. It's a perfect cross between a good warm up track and one you can really bounce to. Lovely heavy kick drum and bassline, and it has perfect breakdowns before the bass comes in the beat starts again

This is a spanking new release...

Julio Bashmore - World Peace

He always has the fat subby bassline, and funky beats. Got to love his production. Cop the mix he did for Curbcrawlers blog it's an amazing blend of funky, house, 2 step and tech house. Kicks off with a personal favourite track of mine Kenton Slash Demon's, Khatabi. Also listen for a sneak at Foamo's relatively new tune Jookie, which I assume is set for release.

Hit up his myspace and if your in based in Bristol, go to Bugged Out on the 20th feb, where he's going to be supporting the marvelous Jesse Rose, definitely not to be missed out on....

Keep 'em coming Julio
