Solar Funk

Kyle Hall is now widely known as one of the best young talents in Detroit music. This brilliant slab of shuffling beats, funky synths and warped vocals is testament to that fact. If one were to come up with some kind of over the top genre name for this kind of music it would go along the lines of cosmic jazz funk...

Kyle Hall - Solar Funk

From a Detroit citizen proper, to a German whose name stands as a tribute to the influence that music from the Michigan city has had on him. I've posted many times about Motor City Drum Ensemble but there never seems a point to stop. This young and very talented producer has had countless releases that have blown people away. This remix of Caribou's "Leave House" is deep vocal heavy beauty. A nice heavy bass line and tinny drums are fused together to create what I consider to one of the best remixes of Caribou around.

Caribou - Leave House (Motor City Drum Ensemble Remix)

Danish Kenton Slash Demon had one of the best releases of 2009 in Khattabi. This is a track off a recent release called Sun. Very nice rolling bass line and snappy beat is complimented by great vocals and sampling. Check out their Myspace and the video for this track it's great.

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....
