Finally!

Hey, yea I know we haven't posted any songs in a while...but there were good reasons! Finals and papers and moving oh my! In any case University is done (with only a measly bachelor of philosophy to show for it) and we're off to a very uncertain future. But that's the appeal, at least for me...more school at this point would just be both boring a waste of youth.
Aaanyway I'm sure you didn't come here to hear some kinda BS I like to spout from time to time, so here are my latest musical picks. I've moved away from just electro recently to embrace tech, tech house, prog and techno a little more so expect the same AMAZING quality tunes from Noirceur-sur-la-Lys but now with more genres!

Sleep On - Stimming

The Beauty - Stimming

From the tech-house/minimal genius of the Diynamic label, Stimming's album Reflections is worth every penny. This genre and label has been the focus of my new musical tastes, but that doesn't mean that the harder and clubbier stuff lacks a place in my heart...as the following tracks demonstrate.

Apocalypse (Sebastien Leger Remix) - Arno Cost & Norman Doray

Use Your Arms - Dapayk & Padberg

Korobiki (club mix) - Sebo Reed The Tetris song! In tha club!

Partouze (Jean Elan remix) - Steve Angello & Sebastian Ingrosso So what if it has a modicum of cheesiness?

Solo (Tepr remix) - Chew Lips Of course we need a little Kitsuné to round things out...but honestly I'm surprised they're still around.

Enjoy, more to come

Return of the Mix

I am back everyone with a fresh mix for your listening pleasure. This week's collection exemplifies the style I am currently immersing myself in; deep tech/house/minimal tunes. All of these songs are new, released in the last month or so. Salvatore Freda and Michel Cleis , two blossoming producers releasing music on Cadenza Records, team up for the standout track in the mix, Sassicaia. A clever melody with endless sonic modulations rests on top of a driving minimal tech groove, delivering a fantastic 9 minutes of music from two rising stars. Michel Cleis made a big splash at WMC when his hit track, La Mezcla, was dropped by Radio Slave among others. I've posted a video below of the track which is well worth downloading.

Mix

El Postre (Martinez Deep Moods remix) - Pablo Akaros
Good Vibes - Markus Schatz and Brett Longman
Sassicaia - Salvatore Freda and Michel Cleis
Mambo Jumbo (Guy Gerber remix) - Dop
Gotta Have It (Gorge remix) - Solan


Anyways, this is the first mix I've done with proper CD players and a mixer, all recorded in one shot on a hot Sunday afternoon. Enjoy.

Essential Mix

I'll keep this short and sweet. Joris Voorn was behind the decks for this weeks essential mix. Check it out. I'll be back next week with an original mix.

Sweet Jesus

I knew that one day I would find out why power rangers were so popular amongst the young'uns.



sweeeet!

The Proxy Rocks my Block

Hallo hallo peeps!

First up, I've got these two really hard hitting tracks. If I wasn't so afraid of my neighbor across the street (who we've nicknamed intense dad) I'd have these songs cranked up so loud you could feel the bass a mile away.

Yes, they're that good.

The Proxy is this super intense group from Russia. Even if you're not familiar with the name, I'm sure you all must have heard their mega popular track, The Raven. As for Blatta & Inesha, I posted a mix they did with Congorock a few weeks ago but sadly it was removed. For what reason? I can't really say cuz nobody bothered to tell me, but if you managed to catch it before the take down you'll like the track below.

Tiga - What You Need (The Proxy Remix)
Blatta & Inesha - Ain't Nuthing to Fuck With

I just received the Blatta & Inesha today and it came with some DJ Loveboat too. Check out this chill song:

Mesa - Quando As Palavras (Dj Loveboat Louder Refix)

If you'd like some more DJ Loveboat, hit me up at i.ate.the.apple at gmail dot com.


I also just discovered SchlachthofBronx (thank you Brrrln Blog!). I have no idea how you're supposed to pronounce their name but they've got some super sweet tracks. I've never really listened to a whole lot of dubstep, but this stuff is quality.

SchlachthofBronx - Good to Go
Dizzee Rascal - Pussy Hole (SchlachthoBronx Remix)

For more SchlachthofBronx tracks check out this nice post at Munitionen or visit their myspace.

Promo Mix pt. 2

This is the second half of my promo mix, more or less. This mix is the last one I'll be creating with Ableton as I am finally getting turntables in 10 days or so. Next week I wont be posting my own material, but a half hour sample from one of my favourite sets from the past year, although I haven't decided exactly which yet. Enjoy.

Mix

I just have to mention that Phoenix are releasing a new album soon, although its leaked all over internet already. Here is a video of their current single, 1901.

Electroooooooooo

Alright folks, here are some fresh electro tunes, hand chosen by our bloggers and mixed up by yours truly. For me, the standout track is the Mr. Miyagi tune, We Gonna Give You the Lesson. It's an electro/tech house hybrid of sorts that for me is like a nu-rave version of SIS's Trompeta. I've posted a video of the SIS tune, followed by the mix. Enjoy.

Mix
The Girl And The Robot - Royksopp
Dance With Someone Else (Phunk Investigation remix)- Young Punks
Deuteronomy Brown (If edit) - Walter Johnson
Stay the Same (Alex Gopher remix) - Autokratz
Bleep (Saint Pauli remix) - Dirty Disco Youth
Congorock - Never Fuck
Mr. Miyagi - We Gonna Give You The Lesson
Moi J'aime Bien (JFK & St. Mandrew Edit) - Joachim Garraud

Special Mix

Today I have a very special mix for everyone. I've been working for the last few weeks on a promotional set, something to help me leverage gigs spinning in New York City. The full mix will be around an hour in length but I'm only going to the post the first 30 minutes of music. It is essentially a 25 minute crescendo of dark, rhythmic tech house building to the first drop; a track, marked by its acapella elucidating the visceral qualities of house music, by Brothers Vibe. Enjoy.

Promo Mix

Progre

Here's a nice progressive house mix for y'all. It starts out deep and crescendos gently to darker, heavier sounds, culminating in a fantastic outro track by Bedrock favourite Guy J. Not much else to say really. Enjoy.

Zombies, Vampires and the Culture Prophet

Hallo hallo peeps!

Got a bunch of music for you today, so get ready for some super sweet tracks. Plus, this month we've had twice as many track downloads as last one. Mega awesome! Thanks everybody!

So here's Culture Prophet. I would write a short bio about them, but since they have a much better one on their official web page, it seems kinda pointless. I will say tho that their riffs are rippin' and the beat is undeniable. Check out their myspace here.

Future Flashs - Take It Out (Culture Prophet Remix)
Digikid-84 - B. Boy Underground (Culture Prophet Remix)
Culture Prophet - Ghetto Bounce
Culture Prophet - Do You Wanna Funk?



So I posted a version of Vektorkat's End Run a few days ago and it's got so many downloads I thought I'd give you a few more. They don't have any official releases yet, and I don't think that they're signed, but I really like them...I guess you do too! Isn't Vektorkat such a cool name? on myspace

Vektorkat - Wyno
Vektorkat - End Run
Vektorkat - Kill My Dog

Bonus: Joachim Garraud - Moi Y'aime Bien Moa (JFK + St Mandrew Edit)



Chateau Flight is a collaboration between two french producers, Chaix and Cohen, who've been making records for more than twelve years. Andy Gellerman on AllMusic says:

Nicolas Chaix (I:Cube) met Gilbert Cohen in the mid-'90s, after he sent Cohen a demo of his productions. At the time, Cohen had just started his Versatile label. Cohen liked Chaix's material enough to sign him, and by the end of 1997, Versatile had released several I:Cube records. Chaix and Cohen eventually began to collaborate as Château Flight.

Their music is super chill, melodic and meditative mixed up with a dash of loneliness. It's something I would listen to while watching puffy clouds float by on a sunny day.

Fact:Versatile records is also home to Joakim

Junesex - Worst Than Love (Chateau Flight Remix)
Chateau Flight - GRN Adventure
Chateau Flight - SuPeRfLiGhT

Bonus: Zombie Zombie - Driving this Road until Death Sets You Free (Joakim Remix)



Speaking of Zombies, Touche has this REALLY cool release.

Touche - Vampires
Touche - Zombies
Touche - Spectres

I love all three songs, but I'd have to say that Zombies is my favorite--simply because there could be no better name for that track :D

Bonus: Who Made Who - The Plot (Noze Remix)
