Bambounou.

Is a young emerging Persian artist from France that recently signed to Modeselektor's 50 Weapons imprint and ClekClekBoom. An artist I quite admire as it's hard to pinpoint his style, most of his tracks have a techno sound to it but mixed with vintage house vocals and juke like percussions (nu-techno?). A crossover Dubstep-Techno producer on the rise (which further indicates that Dubstep is on the way out),  if your fan of UK Garage music than this dude won't disappoint. Follow him on Soundcloud to keep up with his productions, this weeks new flavour is. . . Bambounou

Classic Wednesday.

Pete Rock & CL Smooth - They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.) is a song released in 1992 in tribute of their (Pete Rock & CL Smooth) friend Troy Dixon (better known as "Trouble" T Roy of Heavy D & the Boyz). Pete Rock & CL Smooth were known for their uniquely soulful sound they brought to the table of Hip Hop and T.R.O.Y was no different, featuring clever samples from Tom Scott, Jefferson Airplane and The beggining of the end. I suggest you look these artist up if you need inspiration or are generally interested how samples are used because Pete Rock & Cl Smooth intelligently sampled snippets of each track (some hardly you would recognise) to write in my opinion one of the greatest hip hop tunes ever. Other famous artist have done cover versions or sampled parts of this track to make their own, including Mary J. Blige and Lupe Fiasco as of late with 'Round My Way' (Freedom Isn't Free). There has been many legal disputes over the samples used, but to me it's just genius. Have a listen and enjoy.

And to all the House Heads > > > here's a classic house remix of Mary J. Blige - Reminisce using the same sample by Tom Scott that Pete Rock & Cl Smooth used. 

L.O.V.E.

In the short time this blog has been up and running I have posted about many things, mainly to do with underground house music of course, but I have had some negative criticism as of late. I preach too much hate (apparently). I suppose that's true. I don't see how you can't with so much garbage music around, especially in the edm realm, however I do believe this is so. My aim in this blog is to convert as  many people as possible to the music I preach, however sadly most people listen to shit but can I help that??, I'll try! So i'm going to stop picking on the mainstream morons and highlighting the shit music out there because anyone that follows this blog (which has now reached over 1500 views : )!!!)  i'm sure wouldn't listen to that electro mash-up crap anyway. So from now on it's all about the LOVE and about promoting as much good music out there as I possibly can. So here's a sex flavoured mix by Ben Pearce the artist behind the Deep House hit What I Might Do, I thought that this may suit the theme.    > > >



Here's another few songs that i'm digging lately.

Classic Wednesdays...

Apparently, I have been living under a rock because I haven't heard the news that Daft Punk will be releasing a new album later this year. The duo have had some time off after their last world tour (something I was lucky enough to attend) and now are back with a long awaited album, or are they. . . The leaks are not official, however the demo's and samples given sound a lot like their previous work and if thats something to go by, this one will be a classic! So I was going to post some of their old shit to make up this weeks classic but then on second thoughts, I decided to do something for smart, people who know this track will know what i'm on about. . . Le Knight Club - Hysteria. Le Knight Club is a duo from France consisting of (???), anyway its a French-House classic that is very very familiar to Daft Punk. Enjoy

Ohhh and here's a track from Daft Punks new album 

Flavour Of The Week

From now on i'm going to start posting a 'Flavour Of The Week' article, that will promote a new underground artist that I hope will be fresh to your ears, but obviously I can't guarantee that. This will not be on the same day but will occur weekly. My aim is to try and promote new music, that's forward thinking & creative and obviously within the house genre that we all love. The first artist im going to share is a young producer out of Wolverhampton England > > > Polkadot https://soundcloud.com/polkadotmusic. Polkadot is 18-year old producer Sam Bevan from Wolverhampton and he's been gaining a lot of hype from his garage bass-driven orientation of electronic music, that can be very closely related to heavy weights Disclosure.  Here's a remix he's done of DrDr, another artist that could feature on this weekly segment.

MUSIC IS THE ANSWER
TO YOUR PROBLEMS. . . ?
Maybe, it provides you with temporary relief thats for sure (providing its a good song) and when mixed with a few other things it can bring a whole lot a joy to your life, but it still may not solve your problems. But if there was going to be one song, that would keep me 'Dancin & Prancin' for as long as possible, and help for that time even remove all my problems, it would be this song. . .

Celeda - Music Is The Answer (Danny Tenaglia Remix)

Thanks to my Manchester mates for this one Xx

Why Make Sense?

It really seems the people of Perth are starting to appreciate good music, with a massive last few weeks of touring artists and this weekend was no different. With Julio Bashmore, T. Williams, Maribou State and Gold Panda playing for the Next Hype crew and Maiko bringing in another boat party with the Boogie king Lovebirds, you would have to be an idiot to miss one of these! Sadly this was me, not because I didn't want to but because money doesn't grow on tree's. Anyway this gave me some spare time to hunt down some new tunes, here's a fresh one from the leader and co-founder of 'OddFuture' - 

♛ Tyler The Creator ♛

And this other Gangstarr beat produced by the genre hopping Sinden. . .

✌ NIGGER

Skreamizm.

SKREAM / / / Needs no introduction really, a pioneer in electronic music and one of the most prominent producers in Dubstep. He runs his own radio show along with Benga on BBC and has headlined countless music festivals and gigs around the globe under Skream and Magnetic Man. His music reflects his Garage / 2-Step background and although I mainly hate this faze called Dubstep, I still appreciate his music. One of his latest releases, that you can download for free on his Soundcloud is 'Kreepin'. A version of Finnebassen's take on Aaliyah 1996 hit single "If Your Girl Only Knew' only deeper and more bass heavy, and yes it's Deep House!!! To me this production along with his current mixtapes, show the direction in which electronic music is heading. . . far far away from Dubstep. To me Dubstep is very much fading away, with all these post-dubstep genres and other bullshit floating around, it looks like it's on the heavy decline. Not that i'm a complete hater of the genre, I just feel the over hype and this brostep like shit has killed what I believe used to be a pretty cool noise.



[UPDATE}

Skream producing this.... WOW!!

Classic Wednesdays.

Orginally released in 1997 on ice cream records, todays classic defines the genre of 'Speed Garage'. Apparently a Test by the 99 boys, they truly hit the jackpot with this track and influenced much of the scene. Earlier works had the same kind of feel but there's something in this track for everyone, whether the epic build up, the highs or lows, it's truly a masterpiece of it's time and regularly gets stuck on an oldskool or 2Step garage compilations. An absolute belter and funky garage track, todays classic is...

Double 99 - RIP Groove

Remixes can be found by Tam Truff, Tim Deluxe and Paul Hunter to name a few.

Sunshine Mix-Bag ☼

What a beautiful sunny day it is in perth, a great day to be soaking up the sun. The punters at Future Music must be loving the weather, i'm sure the mosh to dizzee won't get too hot for you and did you hear avicci pulled out?? I would want my money back!!! hhaha. So while i'm at home and everyone else is having a 'BALL-TEARER' @ FuuTTTTuuUUURRZZzz, I put on some chilled tropical like house music to get me through the day, and just reminisce on this thing we call life = ) Here's a selection of tunes. . .

MAM - Modern Heat
Frank Ocean - Lost (Souljackerz Bootleg)
Guti, Dubshape - Every Cow Has A Bird
Klangkarussell - Sonnentanz
Perseus - Seychelles
Q Tip x Busta Rhymes - 4Tha Nastie (Jaquo George Bootleg)
Cashmere Cat - Mirror Maru
Julio Bashmore - Ripple To The Amazon

RIP DJ AJAX

Adrian Thomas (AJAX) was one of Australia's biggest dance music personalities. He was a hugely talented musician / deejay who ran his own label 'Sweat It Out' and was a part of the group 'Bang Gang Deejays', who were solely responsible for my passion in dance music now. Although his current music is not the main type featured in this blog, I still want to pay my respect for this man who bought French House (something I still love) to Australia and ripped it up at parties all around the country.

 If you have never heard of AJAXplease download or buy this complication, it will change you!

Rest In ✌
