The latest update from Breakdown is a huge remix of Ralvero’s “Drunk Tonight” featuring Whiskey Pete. Breakdown’s take on the original Dutch house track is a murderous electro house version reminiscent of something from a Simian Mobile Disco DJ set.
Check out the original here for comparison and the entire release over at Beatport!
Also on the bill for today is a sick little freebie from the ever-reliable dance music mastermind Will Bailey.
“The massive music performance monsters at Insomniac have big plans for their big bad west coast super rave this year. They will test a new battle ground for a beloved festival and Our House Records wants you there.” – joseph
The boys from OHR, the SF based electro promotion company & record label, sadly can not attend the electronic festivities this year. They will be sorely missed. Lucky for you, however, they are feeling the love. OHR have announced they will send one winner a three day festival pass to the Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas! At a dollar value of close to $200 this is a rare opportunity to win some epic free loot. Big ups Our House Records, very well done.
Dillon Francis has already claimed his place amongst quickly rising dubstep and electro producers, but he’s also part of a newer movement. This movement is something no one really knows whether to take jokingly or seriously. The music of this movement was invented only one year ago by Dave Nada of Nadastrom. It’s easy to make, and it feels like slow-motion sex. It’s MOOMBAHTON. (See Oh My!’s original post on Moombahtoon back in March.)
For those who don’t already know, Moombahton is Dutch house slowed down to a tempo of around 108 beats per minute. It can make you laugh, and it can make you cry. It can also paralyze your inner core and actually warp your consciousness so that your mind perceives Time at 84% of its original rate.
“Masta Blasta” is some of the most recent Moombahton out there, and Dillon says it’s already getting a huge response. Sorry no download though, as it’s coming out on Plant Music in the near future. Also included here is the Moombahton version of DF’s collaboration with DJ Ammo, which Major Lazer opened their set with at Coachella this year.
Today I bring you the first release from the brand new label Forma T, featuring Netherland’s new rising star Kid Kaio. With loads of killer remixes on multiple labels & rumors saying he’s got a new track coming out on Mad Decent, Kid Kaio is definitely one to watch.
Forma.T, the partycrew from Liege, has been itching to launch the eponymous self-entitled label, ‘Forma.T,’ for some time now. For four years, the Forma.T parties have been crushing Belgian dancefloors, but they’ve moved on to even invade the club-culture in Europe! From Brussels to Paris and Liege to Berlin, artists such as Justice, Boys Noize, Crookers, A-Trak, Diplo, Switch, Calvin Harris, Sinden, Hervé, Surkin, MSTRKRFT, Rusko and Busy P have made the parties incredible and unforgettable.
This e-mail has been in my inbox since Sept. 9, so I apologize for sleeping on this one so hard. This track is some off-the-wall dirty Dutch, and it’ll lazer-blast that brain of yours so hard, you might find yourself flat on the ground! Check out the DJ feedback below! Holy balls!
DJ Feedback:
Diplo: charted #3
Crookers: Play ‘Broadway’ in every set since I got it! Forma.T rules.
Congorock: will play it these jams!
Don Rimini: Well produced! Forma T. I LOVE YOU!
Only 128 today, so support this newfound label (and Kid Kaio of course), and drop that tune in your Beatport shopping cart: Kid Kaio’s ‘Hey’ on Beatport
Gotta play a little catch up here. Been falling behind on answering blog e-mails and even digging, so here comes my attempt at a mega post! I’m not going to go into any descriptions of the tracks aside from genres.. probably not very blog-worthy of me, but I’ve got a truckload of design to catch up on before the oncoming wave of textbook mayhem swallows me alive! Yes yes..school is starting tomorrow. Last semester though. Boo yah!
..and so is boppin’ yer head to some bangerz. Couple tracks from PeaceTreaty today, of whom I’ve recently discovered via the wonderful world of SoundCloud.
PeaceTreaty was originally created in 2009 by producer Josh Anaya. In early 2010 Josh teamed up with acclaimed LA DJ Sam Hiller (Groove Radio) and a production duo was born! These cats hail from Southern Cali and have garnered support from the likes of Kissy Sellout, Andy George, Hostage, Fake Blood & more. You can get down on their blog here. They’ll be playing Nu Disko this month down in L.A. along-side DJ Bam Bam, Sharooz, Paul Ahi, Electrochasm & Disk Jo Slim (+ more), so go check them out if you’re gonna be in or around L.A. Anyways, they make a lot of very well-crafted Dutch/Tropical, pulling in elements from techno and electro. It’s some real high energy stuff and it’ll get that booty shakin’. Truuuuuuust.
Thank you Keith, for showing me, and maybe the rest of the world, that old bicycle bells are fair game in the world of electronic music! Who knew a bike bell could sound so damn hyphy? I mean, seriously — that bell drops around 1:14, carrying through the next 32 beats of vocal stab insanity, and it certainly adds the proverbial “icing on the cake.” It feels like you’ve just stepped into Oakland, home of the scraper bike. I also think he nabbed some sort of recorded squeeky / rusty sound for this track. Perhaps its a squeeky bed sample? Anyways, this shit kills.
