Top 3 House Tracks for June 2010

Rodriguez Jr.

“Princess Guacamole” (Original Mix) by Rodriguez Jr. [Mobilee Records]
Yes, techy dance music CAN come from places other than Berlin. This Belgian-based producer brings the funk via a stabby, swung, melodic bassline. A syncopated chord blast offsets the bass and vocal snippets round it out – no break needed. Download now at beatport.com or listen here:

“In Your Eyes” (Wolf + Lamb Remix) by Tom Demac [Murmur Records]
Originality is in large supply with Wolf + Lamb and this is no exception. Their house music is slow, bass-heavy and downright druggy. Swirling, psychedelic vocals bend and reverberate over this hypnotic groove and make for a late night/early morning delight.

“Smack My Bitch Up” (AN21 and Max Vangeli Booty Mix) by Prodigy [Unreleased]
A peak hour floor filler with a retro touch, these two up-and-coming producers tag team to update the Prodigy classic into a modern weapon. Huge toms, trance leads and plenty of white noise bring the fury. Best of all, it’s available FREE on AN21’s SoundCloud at www.soundcloud.com/AN21 or right here:

Top 3 House Tracks for May 2010

Oxia

“San Trope” (Oxia Remix) by Mihalis Safras [Material]
Deep, dark bass is accentuated by bongos and other acoustic percussion on this outstanding journey through some of the finest music “house” can offer. Humanizing vocal stutters, spacey pads, effects, and a delicate melody send it over the top. Don’t miss!
Download now at beatport.com or check out the YouTube video:

“Into A Deep” (Original Mix) by Stojche [Dogmatik Records]
A dubby yet bouncy vibe permeates with just enough repetition to verge on psychedelic and just enough melody and keyboard stabs to fall on the darker side of deep. A perfect early mover to get the feet moving.
Available Soon. Preview below on SoundCloud:
Stojche – Into a Deep by Stojche

“No Pressure” (Original Remix) by Tomas Malo [Architech Records]
“I wanna go a whole lot deeper!” exclaims the sample but not deep enough to make this predictable and generically jazzy. With its techy influenced drums, effects, and deft production, this falls in the sweet spot for groovy and artistically challenging yet still eminently accessible.
Available soon. Preview below on SoundCloud:

Top 3 House Tracks for April 2010

“Babou” (Original Mix) by Julian Jeweil [Plus 8]
Lately it seems bloopy minimal may be taking a back seat to more straight forward house but you wouldn’t know it from this Plus 8 newbie. A main synth riff with automated release, white noise builds, and a drop that’ll curl your toes in anticipation make this genre more relevant than ever.
Download now at junodownload.com:

“Agua Ardiente” (Loko Remix) by Christian Malloni [So Sound Recordings]
The red-hot Loko stretches out the Latin-flavored original with a relentless skippy groove, subtle acoustic percussion accents, and a carefully crafted drop that showcases the female vocal. Just gorgeous!
Available soon on beatport.com.
Check the video for the original mix on YouTube:

Signal Deluxe "La Orquidea Negra"

“La Orquidea Negra” (Cubenx Remix) by Signal Deluxe [Blaq Records]
Organic tech-house from this Mexican remixer. It’s a slow building affair that starts with deep bass under pulsing pads but culminates with a flurry of drums, dubby chords and spacey echoes. Expand your mind and ears.
Available soon.
