I’d like to take a moment to speak with you about a musician who, surprisingly enough, has never been featured on CYV™ | CHW YR VTMNS before. Someone truly remarkable. A Swede-turned-Brit named Peo de Pitte who takes his beats with extra cream.
Fusing house, electro, breaks, and a trace of hip hop into unquestionable dancefloor gold, Peo has earnestly worked his way to clubland notoriety. He meticulously crafts tracks that could just as easily be heard in the DJ sets of heavy hitters like Benny Benassi and Laidback Luke as in the more underground world of fidget and breaks.
Peo puts a heavy focus on his mixdowns, which means when you hear that Peo sound on a festival-size system, you will be experiencing a top-of-the-line brain-vasion.
Please check out…
• Peo de Pitte’s new original, “Who Do You Love?” – which has been blasted across the blogosphere over the last few weeks. In this song a man’s voice confronts you with two very direct questions about your life. These questions quickly lose their urgency when Peo slaps you with a baby-powdered palm of wonk to the face.
• His Jay Robinson remix, a thumping peak-hour earthquake of a beat that could raise any nation’s security level to red.
• And his latest remix, uploaded a few days ago: Peo’s take on disco…
And of course I can’t leave out his two most well-known songs to date: “Burning Up” and his “Riverside” remix.
You’ll also want this melodic bass storm, which is one of the handful of free downloads posted on Peo de Pitte’s Soundcloud page.
I may have just creamed my pants a little. Broadcasting live from the Oh My! beat fortress, I bring you the latest and greatest from Dave Taylor. Switch has long since been one of my favorite producers, and honestly, I’ve been a little bummed about his left turn into the baile-daggering world of Major Lazer. Granted, Pon de Floor changed the game — but where did everyone’s favorite wonk-house wizard go?
Anyways, enough with the talk. I pressed play on this beast and have once again bestowed my faith upon Taylor. This track is nonsense. Just.. utter greatness. A nice chunky stuttered kick and punchy snare accompany the pumping atmospherics in the background. The bass wobbles are proper wonky, flashing me back to ’09 — and don’t forget that lead whistle-wobble that bounces in and out on its quick 1/16th beat rhythm. YUM!
Coming out on Sugarcane Recordings on Dec. 15th. Oh yeah, and as you saw, the release also features remixes from Two Fingers (Amon Tobin & Doubleclick) and Hot Chip. Mark your calendars and grab da hotness!
Lets all take a second and hope that there is more of this juiciness to come. Thank you again, Dave. This track will be in my sets all damn month!
The best music is grown in California. Good In The Hood showcases the freshest crops of dedicated Bay Area musicians and sound engineers, each carving out their own personal piece of the musicsphere. They may be young, new, and still deciding who they want to be, but the point is someday we feel they will figure it out and it will be epic. Till then, read up, listen up, dance and tell your friends.
Let’s talk about sexy. Let’s talk about silky, sweet seduction. Turn down the “in your face” and turn up the “on your knees.” The genres and sub-genres spanning Indie Electro, Disco House & beyond are almost like the romance languages of dance music. Their masters are few and far between. Artists like A-Trak, AC Slater, and Treasure Fingers are able to wield their sounds properly so that even the most resistant recipient won’t be able to avoid feeling coy, happy, and lustful. We are no stranger to San Francisco talent here at CYV so it shouldn’t surprise you that our latest disco fix is provided by Dynamics, a pair of genuine boogie aficionados; we often see them alongside SF nightlife favorites Realboy or performing at the famed Our House Records events. In a sea of newly minted DJ BRO’s mashing Beatport’s Top 100 Dubstep / Electro charts, this duo is stepping way outside the box & turning it into a damn disco ball.
Today I want to shed some light on our very own Rubberteeth. In the most recent news, one of his remixes for Carbon Parlour was featured in Benny Benassi’s radio mix #176 (11/20/11). You can check that out here. Talk about your big name DJ support on that. Effin Benny Benassi supportin’ that rubwobble.
On top of that, the kid has been droppin’ new fire on his cloud almost every week. Here are a couple of his latest bootygroovers:

Keep your eyes on this guy. He’s destined for greatness in 2012.
One of your most promising options for New Year’s this year: the Snowglobe Music Festival in Lake Tahoe, December 29-31. The line-up guarantees three days of the nastiest dubstep, glitch-hop, hip-hop, and house. French YouTube mash-up star Madeon will be making one of his debut performances in the United States. Dillon Francis and Figure will be bringing in the exclusive new moombahton bangers in complement to their electro/fidget and dubstep roots (and a lot of drumstep in the case of Figure). Big Gigantic will represent the ever so common saxophone-with-live-EDM format. Underground glitch genius Dave Tipper will most likely be the favorite of anybody who’s had the pleasure of hearing him before. Porter Robinson, the 19- or 20- year-old electro house front-runner who’s been touring with Tiesto, will bring his sound to the Lake. “Community” TV star Donald Glover will be there as his rap alter ego, Childish Gambino. Also on the bill is Datsik, who was recently able to collab with the person who got him into bass music in the first place: Bassnectar. Bassnectar will be headlining the show alongside Pretty Lights, Thievery Corporation, and The Glitch Mob.
Check out the rest of the line-up here because the few artists I’ve mentioned hardly covers it.
This is for the weekend warriors, the nightlife ninjas, and the curbside crawlers; we are with you all the way. We at CYV encourage herbal remedies, Bloody Marys, and of course a daily dose of slaps to aide all the aches, bumps, and bruises you collected over the weekend.

Sundays never looked so good.
“This week we kindly welcome homeskillet Danny Weird to get a little strange for us. Tune in to vibe out to the glitch hop goodness that has become a staple of his Bay Area appearances.” -joseph
So I just discovered this cat Benson who’s doing some great things all the way across the globe. His latest remix is some super prime wonky tech house. Check it!
