Im sorry that I´ve been so bad with the updates lately. But I´ve got a hell lot of other things to do, work, New Years Eve plannings, and just the other day I said yes to be playing at an event at New Years Eve. And on top of that my friends are bombing me with mails, messages etc. about New Year, and the question they all seem to ask is “what´s happening?”.
How ever, I will be playing at this private event. Two friends of mine will set up an event for about a hundred medical students. So I´ll be playing there till 02:00 AM, and after that straight to another party.
Two months ago I had nothing to do, now I´m over my shoulders in work. Well well.
Say what you want about the movies by french film maker Luc Besson. But one thing is sure – he´s great when it comes to combine great music with visually great action. We all remember when he had the french Hip Hop master producer IAM to produce and choose the music for the first of the Taxi movies. Any flaws regarding casting, script, performances etc. (do not forget the fact that now Acadamy Award Winner, Marion Cotillard, has a smoking hot part, though.) is simply compensated by a great soundtrack. The same thing could be said about Luc Bessons other trilogy, Transporter. In this third one he made the great decision to use some fresh Electro instead of just Hip Hop – and simply by that action Luc Besson steps up in rank, at least in my book.
So, on this soundtrack there´s two really great tracks. First the track from french Electro outfit, Birdy Nam Nam. From their EP “Worried” comes the track “Trans Boulogne Express“. This is some fresh Electro in that typical intense french way. Distorted sounds, drum machines and a very electro-ish Rock N Roll feeling.
Next track from this soundtrack is the track “Texas” by Benjamin Theves and remixed by Sebastian. This is some quite dirty Electro, not very unsimilar to the sound of Justice and other typical and influential french acts.
Hangovered? Well, grab a glass of whiskey and get loaded again! Otherwise you did the right thing tuning in here. Because Latenightshow will get you in the mood for yet another crazy night downtown, alright! Polish your disco shoes and fold up your collar – it´s time to groove!
First odd this evening is a track from notorious Laurent Wolf. This guy recently gained some massive success with his monster hit “No Stress“. Now his on it again with a track called “Seventies“. It´s the same intense basslines and stomping beats. It starts up a little slower and more rhythmic, though.
Ilan Bluestone is young producer from London. His latest track, featuring Leibo, “Filthy Geezer” is a dark and heavy Progressive House/Trance track. It got this almost gothic chanting touch to it, especially the vocals. This version is remixed by the Los Angeles and Miami duo Grube & Hovsepian.
Less than a month ago (11/27 on Beatport) Thomas Gold released this next track called “Somethings Gotta Give“. It´s some quite deep Electro House with great vocals by Amanda Wilson and a nice piano in the melody. This very mix is a remix by Nash La´salle.
Producer Matt Samuels, together with For The Masses, have taken on the task to make a new hit out of Depeche Mode´s early 90´s classic “Enjoy The Silence“. The EP “Enjoy The Silence” contains five different mixes of the track, including mixes by both Workidz and Pete Griffiths. The track I´ll share with you is the remix by Noir.
Many parts of this planet are now set to hibernate. The icy wind leaves us as deep frozen popsicles. It´s winter. And the only thing great with winter is skiing and snowboarding. Plus that very cute russian fur caps we see on the heads of beautiful women. But in times of cold weather we all need some heat! Something that have us thinking of sandy beaches and chilled cocktails. And what does it better than great music with warm basslines and moodful melodies?
First off is the latest track from Swiss producers Player & Remady, now by the name Remady P&R (at least this is how I have understood it, or maybe it´s just the Remady part of the duo, I´m not sure. So please correct me).
Now to a track by producers who have been referred to as “Americas answer to Justice“. Guns N Bombs are a fresh Electro outfit straight outta Cali, US. Their sound could be described as “european” and it´s not a lie to claim that they do sound a bit like Justice. Their track “Riddle Of Steel” is yet another proof of the fact that Americans can so much more than just produce RnB.
While the topic is Electro then why not bring you some of the greatest Electro to ever be exported by Japan. 80kidz is an outfit producing and remixing and making tracks so great they have really stated that Japan is not only a Mekka of creativity, but THE Mekka of creativity! This track is their remix of Hey Champ´s track “Cold Dust Girl“. But if you have not already checked out their EP “Life Begins At Eighty” then you should, right away!
With successful remixes on tracks from David Guetta and many others Paris Producer, Dj and Remixer, Joachim Garraud has really made a name of himself, and together with David Guetta he was one of the really big ones last year and some time before that too. The track I share with you this evening is called “I Will Love You Ayway” and remixed by great Eddie Thoneick (who also have had some massive success previous years).
Today I´m gonna be brief. This track “Marshmallow Dream” by Pat Farrell from Zürich, Switzerland, is a quite Progressive track with a creaky bassline and an awesome guitar (somewhere in the middle of the track). It´s great actually. Nuff said!
These two guys both create some great and melodic Progressive House. Both of them have been mentioned on this blog earlier, and will most definitely be mentioned again!
From Claes Rosen´s lastest EP “Pondus” comes the track with the same name, in its “Solila Remix” – it´s absolutely fantastic!
Roberto Bedross´s latest piece is named “Fall Voices” and this one is brought to you in a Dj Seven Remix.
Blutengel, are from Berlin, Germany (which by the sound is quite obvious). Their music is some kind of a hybrid between Gothic chanting and Electro beats. The sound is quite futuristic and dark. Electronic music and Gothic vocals. Its very experimental but I kind of like it actually. Listen and find out for yourself. The track is named “Dancing In The Light” and I bring it to you in three different mixes.
Fridays and weekends in general are all about love. The love for dance, the love for cocktails, the love for sex, the love for party, the love for music – the love of life.
The first track this Friday was released the first time many years ago and have all since then come out in new mixes every now and then. And guess what! About two months ago it came out again, but I waited until now to post it – don´t ask me why. The track which I´m speaking of is the notorious “King Of My Castle” by Vamdue Project. The mixes in which I bring this track to you is the Rowald Steyn Club Mix and the best mix so far (in this 2009 edition) Mischa Daniels Long Full Vocal Edit. Enjoy!
Now, next off is a track which breathes funky fresh disco sexyness. Groovy, moodful and funky as hell as always when great Kathy Brown delivers the vocals with steam, heat and passion. The one who do not get caught up in the vibe of this track must just not like disco. And when Soulshaker has laid their hands on it, well, it just reaches a sexy club heaven, full of soul. This truely is the sound of the city!
Now off to something a little deeper and darker – something for the little more initiated house junkies. But still not all too hard listened. “Lost Luggage” is the latest track from Dj and Producer Jonas Steur from Belgium and Leon Bolier from the Netherlands. The track comes in some various mixes but I actually prefer the Original Mix and what I prefer is also what I share with you, so:
Last off is the latest track by Rasmus Faber. In this track he has taken help of Linda Sundblad for the vocals, and I do admit, the vocals are truely beautiful. This track was released in all ten different mixes. But they´re all quite calm, slow and just nice, so to say. The mixes I´ll bring to you is the very beautiful Original Mix and the more uptempo Richard Earnshaw Main Mix. This track is probaly best appreciated during the late hours of an after party, and might be a little party pooper if it´s played while the crowd are their most excited.
I think it was about a year or so ago that I first heard the track “I´m a Freak” by Fukkk Offf. This track blew my mind, it´s intro almost had my eardrums to run and hide. You who´ve heard it sure knows what I´m talking about. All since that track I have loved Fukkk Offf some on and off. Now when this producer presents his latest piece “Rave is King“, well, the love is indeed back! And when a remixed by the guys from NROTB (Nu Ravers On The Block) the love gets blown out of proportion!
From Atlantic Connection´s EP “Tomorrow Wasn´t Enough” comes the track “Rocksteady“. And when remixed by the californian Electro outfit “LA Riots” this track reaches its probably highest potential. It´s awesome, and I promise I will give you more from this amazing outfit. Just be patient.
