Admittedly late as **** on this one, we are simply so addicted to this gem, we had to share with each and every one of you. Lemâitre represents a sound that has us excited about the future of electronic music, and there is no reason why this outfit should not be on your new music radar. “Excuse me” is massive and Kitsuné showcased brilliance in this record signing. Perhaps a remix package in the future? We can only hope… Read more
Paint a smile on your face, because warmer vibes are approaching in the category of disco house. Defected Records recognizes the talent behind these two long time disco veterans, and the one-two combo of Aaron Perez & Matt Soda explodes immediately after the first breakdown. Get ready to groove like no one is watching! Read more
After making their Cheaper Thrills debut with last summer’s “Fitness EP”, Italian duo Fire Flowerz return to the fold with the “Offensive Language EP”, three more tracks of filtered, funked up and totally irresistible house music.
Kicking things off “Offensive Language” is a classic slice of prime time club music, the kind of sublime filtered house that used to come packaged in Roulé’s iconic gold sleeves and topped off with a grin-inducing sample.
If anything “U Got 2” is even funkier, a rubbery bassline straight from the Bootsy Collins school of bounce, vocodered vocals and disco strings all combining to create the perfect soundtrack to naked starlets clip-clopping around flashing dancefloors on a white horse.
Like their debut though, this is an eclectic EP, one that reflects Freon (Luca D’Angelo) and Yoru’s (Matteo Soru) myriad influences, and the final track “Let Yourself” concludes the EP in an unexpected if fine style managing to combine baroque chamber synths and a yearning vocal with a bruising half time dubstep rhythm.
Whether you’re chilling out around a pool in Miami or Ibiza, or getting your sweat on in an East London basement, expect to hear a lot of this EP and Fire Flowerz over the coming months.

JR Disco – Streets (Agent Stereo ‘Wants Disco’ Remix) TEASER!!! by Agent Stereo
Wobble. Wobble. Spooky funk that is down right intoxicating like micro-brews aged in whiskey barrels. After a couple of rotations, we were hooked. The Magician has that got that Patronus Charm that would have Mr. Potter grooving to the rhythm. Pure class! Read more
Filthy, stinky, let’s take it back to a warehouse sometime in 1993, and disco funky house was the freshest sound to destroy your ear drums. The Geisha Twins rock this rhythm surely aimed at one’s ability to express oneself through dance and movement with a high propensity to strain/tweak/fracture muscles. In other words, folks are going to bug out to this! Read more
French House meets Electro and Funk in a collage of audio science administered by Madeon. This is quite simply so big; we’ve got fat kids running for their respective lives. Hands down, Madeon is here to stay, and has an extremely bright future ahead of himself. Keep up the high quality work because we are loving every minute of it…
Sporty-O makes a splash with “Patron & Kush”, the huge first single off his forthcoming “Songs for Strippers” album, and it does not disappoint! Hatiras turns in an impressive acid-tinged house version in his “Patron Hot Tub Mix”; simultaneously looking back and to the future for his floor-filling inspiration.

Our man Sharam Jey remains a true veteran that has been producing quality dance music for years, and gravitates through trends seamlessly. His recent stabs at Nu:Disco/Indie have significantly caught our ears, and this project is another example of his studio wizardry. A dreamy excursion through uplifting vibes and bottomless emotion…
The French wonder – Martin Solveig – has showcased over the last five years his insanely good taste in high quality house music. Recruiting NYC’s A-Trak for this project is down right lethal. This ‘ish is ridiculous, and is bound for stardom in no time. Quality vocals and a soundtrack that’s more intoxicating than a Belgian Trippel Ale! Read more
Let’s go back to the year 1999. Those of us who were in tune with the house music scene were gifted with DJ Dan’s speaker bomb entitled “Needle Damage – That Zipper Track”. Not familiar with the choon? Well, that’s why the FHMDC team has got your back with historical EDM nuggets. Enter 2012, and DJ Dan is still rocking the spot, and has modernized the classic anthem under a new guise – “Stereo Damage” – with the support of Brian Matrix. Much respect to Hotfingers on this investment – only good things will come. This jam is still killin’ it! Read more
Soaring, spacey vocals via The Young Professionals with Yuksek producing and engineering a masterpiece of funk as the under pinning platform that will launch dance floors. Wicked, essential choon that simply excites – get ready to hear this over the coming months on a sound system near you. Read more
Absolutely ridiculous. JLC rocks dis funky joint in ill fashion like he was the Poor Righteous Teachers (old school hip-hop throwback reference), and takes the fantastic vocals as the ultimate overlay to this outer space adventure. Quite possibly our favorite producer/remixer at the moment, JLC is simply on fire!

The original “Poppin’ Beats” was the second release on Hatiras’ young label Hatrax Records back in 2007. Hatrax staple producer Jefr Tale revisits the tune with updated production trickery and builds. Definitely a crowd pleasing mix! Also, the timeless original has been gently remastered to push today’s speakers even better than the original.

The long-time veteran is a model of consistency and quality that should be studied in academia for the future students of the game. “Chunka Funk” is another tribute by DJ Dan to the disco, filtered house sound that he has championed for years, and he is still waving the flag with pride. “Nasty Night Out” has that underground, head-noddin’ sound that displays Dan’s continued (and accurate) read on the dance floors that deny the stinky cheese. Well done Guesthouse Music – we salute this effort! Read more
