In the wake of their brand new mix compilation; Future Underground, we caught up with Pete and Riva in a rare moment off the decks at this year’s Miami Winter Music Conference to talk production techniques, track selection and plans for Ibiza 2011.

Chromeo return with a special edition of their new single, ‘Hot Mess,’ featuring a vocal collaboration with La Roux’s Elly Jackson. This new version has been remixed by Duck Sauce, the breakthrough side project of A-Trak and Armand Van Helden, which we reported on earlier in the week here. Now we feature the fresh remix by Riva Starr who takes things down to Electronic Boulevard with a lovingly funky homage to Eddy Grant, according to Turbo Recordings. We’d say he adds tasty acid flavors to a party of funk that’s down right yummy!

The new shining light in the U.K. house music scene performing live at WMC 2010 and we promise you this lemonade is outstanding!

The Young Punx return for their second studio album, a startling and inventive exploration of the deliberate destruction of genre boundaries in electronic music. Probably the first album in history to have toyed with drum and bass, heavy metal, electropop and cuban timba within the first 5 minutes! “Mashpop and Punkstep” is a vibrant manifesto for the next generation of mashup music. Featuring the epic collaboration with Memphis hip hop Don ‘Count Bass D’ – “Ready For the Fight” (already heard as the theme music for EA Games “Fight Night 4″ and as official entry music for world middleweight champion Arthur Abraham), the J-pop electro disco of “SugarCandySuperNova” and the Ragga House of “Juice and Gin” the album spans Puccini Opera, Punk rock, hip hop, synth pop, Japanese rock and much more…
The Young Punx aim is to “embody the spirit of a great party where the music is f***king cool and credible, but all about good times and fun”. They’ve got the high profile hook-ups, primetime placements and an impeccable pedigree, with the release of ‘Mashpop & Punkstep’ The Young Punx could well have produced the first dancefloor focused, must-have album of the year…
Mashpop And Punkstep – Full Album Preview Via Soundcloud
In addition to having the ability to preview the entire album, The Young Punx have kindly shared five tracks which have been remixed from the album for free download here. Included are contributions from Phonat, Riva Starr, and Shinichi Osawa.

From beginnings as DJs, remixers and producers, The Young Punx have spent the past few years developing a name for themselves as pioneers who aren’t afraid to break the rules… one minute producing filthy electro, the next recording a twenty piece live brass section and then cutting and mashing it up in the studio. Fitting then that their sophomore album ‘Mashpop & Punkstep’ encapsulates their ethos of deliberate removal of genre boundaries, providing next level mash-up culture music and enough surprises to keep fans, new and old, happy.

Riva Starr is a rising superstar. This guy has a wild imagination and a fresh, unconventional sound which has won him many powerful fans including Annie Mac and Pete Tong. Having been chosen to mix the Miami ’10 compilation he here gives us a little insight into his special musical world…

British DJ and producer Riva Starr will mix Miami ‘10, the next edition of the Defected in the House compilation series.
Starr is known for his highly energetic mixing style, which perfectly suits the sunny vibes of Defected’s Miami mix. On both discs of Defected in the House – Miami ‘10 Starr playfully blends vocal tracks like MD X-Spress’s “God Made Me Funky” with leaner European house and techno cuts, like Nick Curly’s “Pujante” or Joris Voorn’s “Sweep the Floor.” The compilation also includes Starr’s recent off-the-wall collaboration with Nôze, fittingly entitled “I Was Drunk.”

Naples born, London based, DJ & Producer Riva Starr takes control of the Essential Mix. He’s one of 2010’s hottest properties and has recently remixed the likes of Fatboy Slim, The Gossip and Reboot. His new album, “If Life Gives You Lemons, Make Lemonade”, has just been released on Jesse Rose’s Made To Play Records. This Radio 1 Essential Mix features exclusive tracks from his new label ‘Snatch!’ and gives you a taste of what the hype is all about…
The Young Punx are back again, this time joining forces with one of their favorite producers of the past year, Riva Starr for a fantastically energetic track. ‘Juice and Gin’ is a blend of electro-acid and fidget with monstrous ragga vocals from Yolanda. Free MP3 inside!
