Dubbel Dutch

Dubbel Dutch has hit us with a brilliant remix of Deborah Cox's R'n'b groover 'It's over now', to round up a fantastic year for the US based producer and DJ.

Dubbel Dutch has been fired into the lime light this year, off the back of a release on Enchufada's 'Hard Ass Sessions IV' (Soundcloud link) and his incredible 'Throwback' EP' (Soundcloud link) on 'Palms Out Sounds', which has flew under many people's radars, but is still one of my favourite releases of the year.

He has also stepped up to the mark with some huge remixes on Sound Pellegrino, Palms out Sounds, Youngunz and recently he had his bootleg of Ciara - Deuces featured in Brodinski's 'Best of Everything Compilation' (download link), where some of the top producers on the scene each made their own twists on an R'n'b or Hip-hop track which revealed some outstanding results, with Dubbel Dutch's fast moving rejig taking the cake in my opinion.

Now back to the Deborah Cox remix. To be honest, I missed this track the first time round when listening to Brenmar's XLR8R mix (Soundcloud link), but after hearing it again, I can't stop replaying it!

So with all that, it goes without saying that Dubbel Dutch has been one of my top producers of the year and I eagerly await what he has in store for us in 2011!

PS. I just saw that his Deborah Cox remix is 11th in Brodinskis December chart. Wowzers.

Solo (UK) !

Solo (UK/DeadFish Audio) is one of the many artists currently riding on a nu-wave tech sound. His productions, including his highly noted remix of 'Put Your Hands On Me' by Parisian outfit 'The Crookers', contain an overload of catchy, melodic elements. By fusing them all together, he tends to make minimalistic tunes that grab you until the outro has all but played out - leaving you scouring Beatport for any more of his wonderful material. In his festive spirit, and in order to promote his 'secret London gig' this new years eve (alongside the Sound Pelligrino Thermal Team), Solo has dropped a bootleg for all of us to use and abuse. In his own words, he's 'been playing it out for quite some time now', needless to say its more than proven in the battlefield. If you enjoy his sound and your in or around London come the closing hours of this year, jump on board and check this guy out - he's dope!

Mashed Potatoes

Seem's like now days mixing intros and outro's is likened to listening to Brittany Spears. Everyone does it from time to time, but it's definitely something you'd want to do alone rather than projecting to a crowd. For most, solutions to this problem come from a) learning new and improved mixing techniques, b) cutting song lengths on a music editing program or c) making mash-ups. Consider a mash up a mix within a mix. Love them or hate them, there is no denying they are the poor mans production. In saying that however, they are also a fundamental way to get a crowd to actually listen to what your playing.

A well executed mashup should contain at least one track the teenie boppers are willing to take their clothes of to. Combining this generally commercialised, vocalised, 'chillwave' sound with a more bass orientated track is generally the best way to go. Alternatively, add 1 part pop track with 2 parts acapella for same effect. Here's a few mashups floating around at the moment.

Steve Angello vs CREAM - Sunshine of Knas (Glowtape! Mashup)

Supabeatz vs Mujava - Get 2 Town (Dan Aux Party Edit)

Calvin Harris & Peace Treaty - Not Alone In The Ganga

Yum.

PeaceTreaty Cheer

PeaceTreaty are based in the US. Their success is derived from their fully driven take on the dutch house sound. You could say they are 'big in the scene' right now - but that would probably be an understatement. In their kind nature, they have dropped their latest mixtape, entitled 'Control', for all your holiday cheer. Consider their remix of Nick Minaj & Will.I.Am's 'Check It Out' anthem a bonus.

Justin Martin Mini Mix

I'm a huge fan of San Franciscan dirty birder Justin Martin so I couldn't hold my excitement when I saw he put together a gastronomic themed Mini Mix for Annie Mac's Radio 1 podcast. With lashings of massive tracks and his own original productions, topped with layers of genius and finished off with sprinkles of hilarity, it's one not to miss! Also check him out on the cover of this months IDJ mag.

Tom Staar: Pandemonium EP

Tom Staar, the man behind Two Tone Simms and Moda Records (Along with Jaymo and Andy George), and probably one of the most renowned studio engineering-djing-label running producers around, has just released his brand new Pandemonium EP!

On the back of huge support from legends the world over from Fake Blood to Fatboy Slim on his last "Heavy Artillery EP", there was a lot of expectation to meet for Tom Staar on his latest release but he has delivered in style. The collaboration with Swedish duo Savage Skulls, who are on fire at the moment, for Pandemonium sets the tone for the fantastic EP which shows Tom Staar is more than just a studio engineer over at Moda HQ.

Tom Staar : Pandemonium EP by itsmodamusic

and what better way to celebrate Tom Staar's new EP than coming to see him tear apart the speakers in Manchester, when he parties with the cool kids down at Banana on the 26th Nov in Manchester UK, where Wonky Ninja (fresh from his recent Kissy Sellout BBC radio 1 "Kissy Klub" Mix), Patchwork, Average White Guy and I (Leo/Baixo) will all be supporting the Moda boss. So get to it!

Tony Senghore

First things first, I wish to apologise on my behalf for the lack of posts recently but I am sure you will be glad to know we've got some big news to announce soon (REALLY SOON!), which is sure to blow your minds, so keep checking back people!

Secondly, I'd like to bring to your attention the awesome new "Score" EP from Tony Senghore, which I've been meaning to post for a while!

Set to drop on Fat! Records (the label of the infamous Chew The Fat! night) on monday, the EP is already seeing mad support from the likes of Kissy Sell Out and Style of Eye and who can blame them? Wether it's the acid stabs in "Oberhausen", the swirling, atmospheric "You're no good for me" or the insane "Skitzkrieg", this EP has a sound for every occasion, with Tony Senghore again showing why he is strongly regarded as one of the most forward thinking artists around.

Tony Senghore - Score EP by Fat! Records

If that wasn't enough from the Swedish mastermind, he has got his "Burnin" EP coming out on his very own Horehaus Records imprint on 1st Dec, with huge remixes from Audiofun, Lars Moston and (my favourite remix) Keith & Supabeatz. As a bonus, he has release his very own remix for you all, which you can grab below!

FRENCH FRIES

Someone who has really caught my attention recently with some stunning originals and remixes is Paris' very own French Fries. Yet another huge DJing and producing talent to come from the city of lights, French Fries had his first EP released at the tender age of 16 and first club residency at 14! But was only cannoned onto many people's radars after his huge track 'Senta' was picked up and championed by everyone from A-Trak to Crookers and Brodinski.

Still only 19, French Fries has only matured with age, with remixes on labels as big as Sound Pelligrino, Young Gunz and Night Slugs all tucked firmly under his belt, and hordes of upcoming remixes and tracks absolutely riddling me with excitement, such as his upcoming remix for Canblaster and Berou's track "Terence Hill" which is truly awesome.

If you like what you hear, check out his October mix below which I personally cannot get enough of.

Whats more the fresh faced prodigy is making his first trip down under on his Australian tour! Check the dates and if you can go, you're in for a treat from France's finest!

Sound Pellegrino Thermal Team: Post Time Travel Nosebleed

Teki Latex, DJ Orgasmic and the Sound Pellegrino team have done it again.

Like their "It’s Raining Crystals From The Future" mix from around seven months ago (one of the most played mixes on mixcloud to date), they have comprised an awesome collation of what can only be described as the best upcoming house music, in their latest mix "Post-Time Travel Nosebleed", with every track (all currently unreleased) jumping up and opening your eyes to what you can expect from each artist and more significantly Sound Pelligrino (Teki and Orgasmic's label), who are without a doubt redefining the standards of today's fast moving house scene. It's hard to choose which tracks stood out most, with music from the likes of Style of Eye, Savage Skulls, French Fries and remixes from Harvard Bass and Canblaster. Each brings a different aura to the mix and I don't think any of the tracks or artists should be overlooked, as they are all HUGE.

Stream the mix below.

FIGURE!

To get into the halloween spirit, evil bass scientist Figure is kindly giving two heavy halloween hitters for FREE! "The Death of Joshua" and "Lover of The Broken" are definite bangers and are enough to wake even the deadest of parties, with Figure's standard dark, angry, basslines something that would leave even the Grim Reaper praying for his life.

You'd have to be mad not to download these soon, because he is taking them off his soundcloud right after Halloween! So what are you waiting for?!

DIRTY BIRD

I'm absolutely loving pretty much everything The Martin Brothers (Justin and Christian) and the Dirty Bird label are doing right now. Justin, for me, is on fire at the moment with hordes of outstanding remixes and originals, that I am not going to begin listing, firing him into the limelight.
The Martin Brothers upcoming remix for Riva Starr's and Major Lazer's "Jump" acts as even more proof of why the Dirty Birders are ruling the roost and if this video of Justin Martin dropping their remix is anything to go by, the San Fran based label (who this year are celebrating their 5th birthday) look to keep on flying high.

ALSO
Check out the Dirty Birder's latest release Tom Flynn's self titled EP, over on Beatport, who's minimal grooves are definitely worth your time. On top of that, be sure to check out the previews of Bird Brain Remixed, a compilation of all the remixes from Dirty Bird head rooster Claude Von Stroke's album "Bird Brain". Set for release in December, its jam packed full of some real tasty nuggets, so get on it!

Graphical Geniuses

Unless it's the delightful work of our dear friend, the immensely talented Moe "Motatoe" Shahin, we rarely post much on the Fridge from graphic designers, but I thought I would give a quick shout to Graphic State Of Mind (GSOM) aka Ben Rose. His work never ceases to impress me and always demonstrates his design prowess, with his flurry of awesome fliers peppering the scene and his most recent project, the club/tour coverage of Banana's poland escapades, managing to cram all the mayhem that ensued from a night of Banana in Poland into a 4 minute video that truly lets you relive the madness they took with them to eastern europe. Probably one of my favourite party recap videos, I urge you to check it out below, even if it is just to relive the vibes captured by GSOM.

TORTURE WHAT?!

I've just received this little gem from my boy Subliminal and it has truly tore my speakers a new orifice.
I can't get enough of what Subliminal is doing as of late, with him applying his skills in a plethora of genres from dubstep to UK Funky to Kurduro (some coming up soon on his exciting new aliases), but he goes back to his roots of hardcore teeth rattling, brain crushing fidget beats for his remix of Torture by Figure.
This was set to be released on Torture's remixes EP on Idiot House, but Subliminal has kindly released this monster for nothing and let us post it on up to you.
So show him some love over on his soundcloud and expect to hear a lot more from this young whipper snapper!

SKETTI + REDIAL!

After throwing down in humble appearances all around the valley for the past couple of years, it seems Sketti's got more than a few things on lock. Now strutting his stuff regularly at Monastery Saturdays, it all seemed appropriate for the Brisbane local to throw a new mix out. Above and beyond this, Sketti also did his own little touch up of the highly popular Justin Martin tune 'Mr Spock'. Doing what had to be done, Sketti added some familiar lyrics that are more than expected. A perfect take on the original. Get the mixtape, get the edit, then become a fan of Sketti (CLICK HERE) and catch him during his next set!

Bonus?

Sydney producer and DJ redial has done his work on the debut single from Slow Down Honey. The finely tuned dance-punk anthem is quite a track to set your sights on, but as you'd expect from Redial - he's done wonders to it. Snack it up and be sure to praise the rightful participants!

To Infinity and Beyond...

After crashing landing onto the electro scene from no where with the huge track Sex Education on their NIGHT/VISION EP, coming courtesy of Gus Da Hoodrat's and Jaime Doom's Bang Gang imprint, Sydney's favourite club dwelling duo LIGHT YEAR are back with their huge remix of baby-faced-parisian Surkin's Fan Out!

Ready to drop on Institubes along with the Fan Out club mix, its gives the original a fresh pair of dancing legs and should this have been release 3 months earlier, it would have absolutely killed summer!

Even though there's no release date yet, you can still wet your appetites by busting a move over to Light Year's soundcloud to check it out!

Adam Bozzetto Says Hi (October)

Hey guys, I just got back from a month in the states. I went to play LA, Burning Man festival, McAllen in Texas and New York. I always try and get some pic’s from the gigs. If your interested I have them up on my flickr so you can check them out by clicking here! Again burning man was crazy and the camp that I stayed at had a new stage to add to their two dome stages that were 60 foot and 90 foot. There was a huge video wall as well this year. I wish I had a video of myself playing this stage but I got a couple of video’s of Santiago and Bushido which you can check out here:

Bonus: Electric Soulside @ Burning Man 2010
 
Playing down in McAllen Texas, which is right on the boarder of Mexico, the guys loved cumbia. I think I remember seeing someone like Sinden or Congorock tweet about cumbia like a while back. But what the guys down there were starting to play was what they called cumbiastep. Just imagine Mexican cumbia music mixed with Dubstep. Kinda fun music, nasty side of Dubstep and party sounds of Mexico. Here are some links to my favourite two tracks which they gave me. 

Mexicans with Guns, Dame Lo

16 Bit, Jump Guarachero (Orion Edit)

Also, I've got a new EP coming out so I'll dabble in a little bit of self promotion at some point, but for now, heres a nice little teaser package to give you a feel for the EP.
