Lemaitre - Appreciate (Uppermost Remix)


Some time ago we talked about this remix, we have warned that it was something big, the parisien producer Uppermost has a knack for spinning dreamy/spacey mixes of the best electronic, this is another proof of it.

Let me introduce you to Hypster

And here we are again, another interview in Noizebusters, but just another interview? HELL NO! Tonite we have a rising star in the electro scene. An artist who has made his own sound, a sound that is starting to sound in the best clubs in the world. He has just released his new album. And we have the huge pleasure of let you know a little bit more about him before you will listen about him on the radio or read in other (not so cool) bloggs. So ladies, gentelman and fans of dirty nasty electro beats, let me introduce you to Hypster



Noizebusters: Would you mind introducing yourself to the readers and how would you describe your music? Hypster: Im a kid from ibiza living his dreams. I would say my music has a futuristic vibe with full on basslines and solid drum beats mixed with extreme fx and dirty growling wobbles. But dont take my word on it, see for yourself!

NB: We have been listening so much lately and we couldn't agree more. And you loyal reader listen the beginning of a serie of massive beats while you read about the life of this mastermind. So what is your real name? and why did you choose the name Hypster like your musical name?
H: Lets just say my initials are two “L”s... Hypster doesnt have much to do with what some people now a days call “hipsters” with those tight jeans and long beards lol. Its in relation to the 1930s-40s hipsters that were one of the new subcultures of that time influencing with new styles of music which for that time were unheard of like jazz, blues etc.They were talented mainly black musicians from the suburbs that started playing openly in bars and venues demonstrating the great music they could do and they were innovators in their own aspect. I relate that sort of innovation to what we live now a days with electronic music and how those once underground artists start breaking through to mass media converting a relative underground scene to something much bigger. I put the “y” from the word “hype” since the music is quite energetic and uplifting with big risers and banging drops.

NB: Smart combination of names, we used 'busters' from 'busters' and 'Noize' because our grammar sucks. What are your influences/music background and what or who might have played a role in shaping your sound?
H: I play drums and basic piano and Ive listened to all types of music since my early years to now. From things like rap, punk and reggae to more electronic genres like house, dubstep and electro of course. Everything has played a role in shaping my sound, even the birds singing outside my window now!

NB: Haha very interesting way of inspiration, we will try it but right now we are more into the dog-dolphin's sounds. Do you prefer writing original tracks or remixing and why?
H: When you make an original it has more value to yourself and you feel prouder since its your hard work. With remixes it can be funner since you have other elements and if it has a voice it can give you lots of options to play around with but its still more fulfilling to make your own original songs.

NB: If you could pick anyone, whom would you pick for your next collaboration?
H: Rage against the machine? Lol.. More down to earth I have some interesting collabs coming up with Joe Garston or Miles Dyson, so tay tuned for those!

NB: Oh man i would pay so much to see that live and listen 'Killing in the name of Hypster'
Who introduced you in electro? Did you have any mentor to whom you want to say hello?
H: I grew up in both Ibiza and Miami so both those cities always gave me a big selection of different genres. I got into electro when i was 17 when a more energetic type of electro started evolving and emerging. The main person that has influenced me in these last years is Miles Dyson, his “tutoring” has helped me in many different ways in the music industry, from musical things to aspects more related to business, so a shout out to the chief!

NB: All what you tell about Miles sounds amazing, we should know more about him and his work. Who is, in your opinion, the enemy public of music numer one?
H: There is no “nemies as you put it since anyone can make music their own way and there is no right or wrong. Though I dont know about those mainstream artists that irrupt in dance events publicizing drugs... lol. Some artists can be more vibrant than others and some lyrics more mind expanding than your average radio formula track, but really its the followers/listeners that have the power. Who is stupider, the stupid person or the guy that listens to that stupid person?

NB: If i would have to choose...probably the listener, or maybe both. But don't worry dear listener if you are reading this post and listening the dirty mash up by Hypster, then you are so so so far that kind of listener.
If your studio was on fire what would be the first thing to save?
H: Oh please no! Dont even wanna think about that... Hopefully I get myself out first together with my backup hard drives.

NB: But let's talk about your new EP that came out 2 days ago!!!. Tell us a little bit more about 'Neon Teens (Hypster's Re-Smash) ', 'Tim Burton's Nightmare', 'Easy Sundays'...and how was to collab with Channel Earth? Any message to your followers?
H: Yeah im very excited, its my second album and it got released yesterday with Plasmapool, some tracks are already in the charts after one day! Its a mix of electro and dubstep tracks, first half has a more summer happy vibe and the second is darker with a more personal side, thats why the cover also has that 50/50 split of light vs dark... ying yang /balance sort of thing, Im a Libra lol. One of my favorites is the first track, the collab with Channel Earth, has a really good vibe to start the album and get you going, then it just starts taking you deeper and deeper...

NB: Can not stop listening your album man, in the car, at home, ...Who would you dream of sharing the stage with?
H: Sex Pistols or something like that, that would be fun! And backstage with Beyonce...

NB: Mmm sweet choice for the backstage. So have you always been into electronic music or did you ever play in other kind of band?
H: Ive always had influences from electronic genres in my life so its been something constant thats always been there either in the main picture or in the background while I explored other genres. Ive never really liked the band mentality since you always depend on other people, thankfully we are in the 21st century where one man bands are possible through computers and technology. That guy from Mary Poppins would be loving it!

NB: He would probably a little bit lost living in a world without spontaneous musicals on the streets but sure. Are you in any label right now?
H: Yes Im exclusive to Plasmapool Records (Germany/USA)

NB: Do you prefer working only with computers/sequencers or do you get your hands dirty playing and recording instruments? Do you use samples and what’s your opinion on sampling and copyright?
H: Its fun when you record your own sounds in a studio but now a days its not really necessary since you can create or re-create sounds with all the oscillators and different combinations you can do with soft synths, even those that exist in nature. I like recording vocals and weird scats because those are the ones that can be more useful when trying to incorporate them to a track, there is not much use recording a shaker when there is probably millions that have already been recorded out there, so those type of elements like percussions I usually sample just because its much quicker than having to record each little drum sound independently.

NB: what programms do you prefer to use: ableton, traktor,...? And why?
H: I produce on Logic since its the sequencer I know the best how to use, but Live, FL and Cubase are still very good alternatives. Its not the arrows its the Indian that matters!

NB: It is all the Indian after all. Your favourite song, and what is music for you?
H: Too many fav songs, each for a different moment. Music is the soundtrack of life of course!

NB: We all have a illness called Lisztomania. we have a section called 'New memories' to talk about the most epic tracks and albums that everybody should listen at least once...so what is, in your opinion, the biggest one?
H: To me personally its a psytrance album by 1200 Mics called “Heroes of Imagination”, I listened to that for a long time in my teens. In my new album there is a collab with a member from that group so for me its a pleasure to make a track with one of my favorite artists.

NB: And what would you say is your biggest music achievement so far?
H: Probably my nº1 in Beatport, that was the best feeling ever! Apart from that probably playing in some of the best clubs in North America is definitely a highlight.

NB: We hope for some of those huge lives in Europe too. Are you introducing any new sounds in your compositions? any experimental style has a special influence in your songs?
H: Each song is different so change is always in play. I dont like to copy myself or repeat the same formula since it doesn't lead you to musical growth and it doesn't give you the chance to experiment and explore new boundaries.

NB: Do you have any tour planned?
H: I just finished a US and Canada Tour and hopefully after summer I can concentrate on doing an Australia and Asia Tour. And Brazil of course is on my list!

NB: What are you listening to lately? Any tracks/artists you recommend?
H: Mainly things from my label since to me it has quality and its varied though still maintaining the same electro party vibe. Joe has lovely chords, Virtu their dancefloor bangers, Mord his mushroom blips and Miles the bass rumblers so I can listen to that all day apart from some reggae or ambient when its time to chill.

NB: what is for you the most underestimated artist in the electro music scene?
H: That would be me :D

NB: Not anymore after this interview :P Something else you’d like to mention and we forgot to ask? or any funny anecdote?
H: In this last tour we ended up throwing gummy bears all over the place, quite fun having a row of girls with mouths open asking for the sweetness!

Thanks a lot for your time Hypster, we hope hear from you soon!
And for you reader, after reading all this post you must be impatient to listen a little bit of his new album so here you have some videos:





Mr. Oizo - Stade 3 (EP)


Yeah! that's it, today Mr. Oizo just dropped free his last EP "Stade 3" on oizo3000.com this fucking brilliant genius will make your day with this music in case the video teaser doesn't make it already because Flat Eric & William Fichtner playing chess are great too!

           

And remember, the EP it's free but only today so...

Rain Or Shine - datA remix

 
 
Take a few catchy pop hooks, infuse with a disco vibe, a smattering of synthetic/funk tempos and some sweeping, movie melodies, spice it up with a little club music to fill the dancefloor and you’ve got DatA’s first out and out sound surfer album. This young French producer, just 23 years old, has mixed styles and influences, and has been able to produce Skywriter (with the participation of Sébastien Grainger, Breakbot, Benjamin Diamond and Bogue) after a few EPs and created his own touch: a modern, digital version of the golden age of groove, pop and dancefloor, lying somewhere between the disco revolution at the late Seventies and the resolutely FM style of the Eighties. With 6 successes:Electric Fever (2009), Skywriter (LP) (2009), One In A Million (2009),Rapture (2008), Aerius Light (2007), Trop Laser (2006) and many many remixes behind him, the french producer is back with a remix for Beat Assailant...oh datA, we have missed these beats so much!!

Deadmau5 - The Veldt


The very first exclusive of Joel's new track has been released on BBC Radio 1 a few minutes ago and we bring to you while it is still hot and freshly baked. Lately the extrafamous artist was not in his best moments, through a kind of stage where he did not feel like himself. It seems the bad times have passed and the sun comes out again in catvilla. In posts like this is hard to innovate and say things about the artists that you don't already know, because like he is simply too famous, so no more waiting and here i leave you with the last masterpiece of the cats lover...




We also leave for you Joel fans a couple or things: first a message of love dedicated to you, and second the advertisment of SONOS, starring by him. Have you ever thought how would be a morning deadmau5?

VillA 'in the mix' March 2012


Little late but welcome anyway. Finally has arrived the mixtape 'in the mix' of Villa for this month. This belgian duo give us almost one hour of tremendous tracks as always. This is koala tea!!

Louis La Roche - Modernize


Lest we forget that he still alive, Louis La Roche has made this set of remixes called "Modernize". This name is because it is a set of some of House Music's most classic tracks. If you like this kind of music do you love the job that have done this genius. Enjoy!

Coachella 2012 - Porter Robinson

For sure you were expecting an amazing gif of Porter Robinson, or just a pic of him playing at Coachella, or maybe just buying at a gas station like the rest of mortal humans. But this is our first post about the best festival on earth since October 1999, and we are to do this right, starting with a epic photo of the the treadmill between the palm trees at sunset. 
For the beginning let's comment a anecdote about the biggesst rapper on history during Coachella. This is an electronic music blog (the coolest) but this fact deserves a few lines after all (just a few and if you don't really care about it just continue reading after the 'penis').

Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg seized upon the technology to resurrect the legendary rapper Tupac Shakur through a hologram during the closing of the 13th edition of the Coachella Festival.

Thanks to a holographic projection, a technology used by singer Mariah Carey last year to achieve a simultaneous concert in five different places in Europe, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg on Sunday revived a few minutes Shakur was murdered in Las Vegas for 16 years , to play "Hail Mary" and "Two Of American's Most Wanted" with the musician.

The appearance of Shakur, considered the most important rapper in history, caused such a stir among the audience and viewers who enjoyed the show on YouTube, which a few minutes and circulated in the social network Twitter account @ HologramTupac.


PENIS! And returning to more details, to make you jealous for not being in the superextrasweetest place for your senses, by the hand of Mr. Porter: mixing Flux Pavillion, Zedd, Deadmau5, Knife Party, Plump DJs, Kaskade and a lot of Porter Robinson, here you have his LIVE:


And to end some interesting fun facts about
previous Coachella Festivals...
-Phish Inspired the 2010 Coachella: 
The Hot Dog went to Phish’s Halloween spectacle at the very same Empire Polo Grounds that the Coachella Music Fest is held. And when he started to read details about the approaching Coachella Festival he was quick to point out how many of the rule changes were taken from policies implemented at the Phish Festival. So you can thank Phish for the following:
No single day tickets. Allowing people to leave the fest and return. Shuttles to nearby accommodations.

-The Cure Gets the Plug Pulled, 2009:
The Cure closed out Sunday Night and the festival as a whole. However, the city of Indio is a bunch of haters and has a midnight curfew for loud, memory making, music. After playing for 33 minutes past the deadline Goldenvoice pulled the plug. Right in the middle of “Grinding Halt” (probably would have gotten away with another spin of “Just Like Heaven”).
This proves two things. First, the local late night eateries aren’t bribing the Indio cops enough for their record-breaking post-Coachella earnings. Second, Goldenvoice hates the song “Grinding Halt”.
The day before Sir Paul McCartney went almost an hour over before willfully submitting to old age and calling it a night.

 -Roger Waters Loses Two-Story Pig, 2008:
During the “almost Pink Floyd” set of 2009, Roger Waters had a giant inflatable pig float above the crowd with the usual rock-star-save-the-world graffiti tagged to its sides. Through some technical malfunctions and the pig staging his own protest at being used for propaganda, the pig got loose and was up, up, and away!
Two days later the pig landed in a neighborhood a couple miles from the Polo Fields and was called in by some local residents. The residents were then rewarded with ten grand (chill out, they donated it) and lifetime passes to the festival!

Let me introduce you to Coucheron

Hi hi and hi and very welcome to the best site of electronic music interviews, and yeah we say that knowing that the rest of bloggs sucks and yeah we like to kiss our egocentric asses. Tonite joining us we have to a new dj and producer in the music global scene. A few months ago he was just a teenager, but now we present him to you like a man, a man that has shared the TOP 5, of releases on beatport, with electronic giants like Knife Party, Afrojack or Wolfgang Gartner. We listen music all the time, we make music and we can assure to you..this guy has a natural talent for it and he is full of energy. So turn up the music just a little bit, before your ancient neighbours start to scream, and listen to COUCHERON




Noizebusters: Hey and welcome Coucheron. First of all would you mind introducing yourself to the readers and how would you describe your music?
Coucheron: 18 year old producer based in Asker, Norway. I make thousands of electronic noises everyday, glue them together and throw them out online for the whole world to hear! The finished product usually gets described as electro-fidgety-godlike house with hints of distortion and sounds you are likely to hear in a nintendo-game.
My hair is really curly sometimes.

NB: Really? Also your hair? I thought i was the only one...anyway let's continue talking about music, we will talk later in private about hair. So what is your real name? and why did you choose the name Coucheron like your musical name?
C: Sebastian Kornelius Gautier Teigen is my real name, but I discovered the name Coucheron somewhere down the line of my ancestors. I like to believe it's a cool story, but at least it isn't another italian surname i just added for the sake of sounding italian (like most house-musicians tend to have for some reason)...

NB: Everything in italian sounds bello. What are your influences/music background and what or who might have played a role in shaping your sound?
C: I played and wrote songs in a rock band around the age of 12. My sense of progressing chords definitely derives from this era of my life.

NB: Do you prefer writing original tracks or remixing and why?
C: Tricky! I rarely use anything but the vocals from the original songs I remix, and working with a great acapella that matches your current ideas of music can be really satisfying. Besides, vocals often help you get to the goal on a track you are stuck at. However, you obviously don't get the same freedom in remixes as you get in original compositions. The feeling of creating something you truly love completely from the ground is really good!

NB: Presh the play button, down in this post, you dear reader and get an idea about how satisfying  are his remixes. And returning to our guest: If you could pick anyone, whom would you pick for your next collaboration?
C: Perhaps Lights, Danni Rouge or Amba Shepherd. All of them are incredible voices. Or The Beatles. Or Spencer & Hill.

NB: The Beatles would be the sweetest choice, good luck travelling to the past.. And who introduced you in electro? Did you have any mentor to whom you want to say hello?
C: I was all rock'n'roll before "Guru Josh Project - Infinity" came out in 2008. I hated all dance-music before that one came out. Through that song I started joking around on a piece of software called FL Studio (which I still use to this date). One thing led to another, I started listening to Spencer & Hill, and here I am.
In terms of mentoring, I'd like to thank YouTube.

NB: Ah YouTube..how many childhoods were saved thanks to it? Who is, in your opinion, the enemy public of music numer one?
C: I am able to enjoy most music in some tiny way (yes, even Justin Bieber!). But Pitbull, oh boy, I can't stand that guy.

NB: All our readers will agree with you about that 'man'. If your studio was on fire what would be the first thing to save?
C: I would watch it burn to the ground and post it on Instagram with funny effects. My studio looks like this (click HERE) so it would be an amazing sight. I'd probably try to save my M-audio Axiom Pro, though, the rest is shitty, easily replaceable or stored in the clouds.

NB: But let's talk about your new remix in the Lt Wee - Don't Stop The Beat. After over 10000 plays in just 10 days we can say without fear of error that Coucheron is on fire! Any message to your followers?
C: On fire indeed! Message would be "Thank you to everyone who listened to it!". There was great fun and hard work involved with the track so the support is incredibly rewarding.





NB: Who would you dream of sharing the stage with?
C: Deadmau5.

NB: Play music since the top of his inverted pyramid seems quite an experience. Have you always been into electronic music or did you ever play in other kind of band?
C: Played in a silly rock band, with titles like "Johnny Likes Pie" and "I don't like your shirt because it's too fat for my ass". Reaaaally mature stuff.

NB: Sounds like the tittle of something mature indeed. Are you in any label right now?
C: My releases are distributed through different labels, no attachments, but you will hopefully hear more releases at Bazooka.

NB: Do you prefer working only with computers/sequencers or do you get your hands dirty playing and recording instruments? Do you use samples and whatís your opinion on sampling and copyright?
C: 99,9% of my productions involve working with computers, the rest is small bits of guitar and piano. I believe analog or digital is same shit, but working with analog equipment changes the workflow drastically, so it makes sense to me that some are analogue-heads.
I totally for sampling to some extent. Assembling small bits and pieces of older works is simply cool and shouldn't offend anyone. Appreciated if anything. Taking advantage of other's creativity, however, is nasty.

NB: what programms do you prefer to use: ableton, traktor,...? And why?
C: I use FL Studio 10 for most of my producing needs. I know there's a LOT of debates going on concerning FL Studio's legitimacy as a DAW. I would never talk trash about other musicians preferences. A piece of software that fits you great might not be the perfect software for others. It's that simple. If the result is good, then who gives a shit whether you used Logic or friggin Microsoft Word. REALLY.
Anyways, I use Ableton for making edits, mixtapes and such and Serato for live purposes at the moment, along with my Numark NS7 (yeah, it has a sync button, what you gonna do about it?)

NB: You can go to the top with a sync button, there you have to Guetta. Your favourite song, and what is music for you?
C: Favourite song… Daft Punk - Digital Love. The guitar solo still gives me a slight erection.

NB: Agree, agree and AGREE! (Click here to see The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem)
We have a section called 'New memories' to talk about the most epic tracks and albums that everybody should listen at least once...so what is, in your opinion, the biggest one?
C: These types of questions always leave me frustrated when I figure out that I've chosen wrong songs. You can't go wrong with these, though:
Most epic track: Röyksopp (feat. Robyn) - The Girl and the Robot (Spencer & Hill Remix)
Most epic album: Mew - Frengers

        

NB: Nice selection. And what would you say is your biggest music achievement so far?
C: It feels like I haven't even started my career yet, but I remember seeing my EP at #3 on the Beatport Electro House "Top releases this week"-chart. I'd imagined it would sell 0 copies, so seeing my first original release neatly squeezed in between Knife Party and Feed Me on that chart was weird (fun weird).
Playing at Skrillex' after party was pretty insane too. When Skrillex is standing next to you, it's hard not to look like an idiot.

NB: Are you introducing any new sounds in your compositions? any experimental style has a special influence in your songs?
C: Although not so evident in my songs, I tend to get a lot of inspiration from french musicians like SebastiAn, Mr. Oizo and Justice.
Psychedelic pop acts like Animal Collective and Toro Y Moi also inspires me.

NB: Do you have any tour planned?
C: Not yet, school's a hassle. Stay tuned, though; there will be soon and I'm brainstorming on fun ways to bring my ideas out to the road, so if you ever happen to be nearby one of my shows, do not hesitate to drop by and si "HI!".

NB: What are you listening to lately? Any tracks/artists you recommend?
C: Tyler the Creator, Lemaître, Gorillaz, Wolfgang Gartner (Make sure to get a solid doze of Wolfgang frequently. It's good for you), and Madeon.

NB: All doctors recommend a diary dose of Wolfgang, and it is a fact. what is for you the most underestimated band in the electro music scene?
C: Lemaitre. They are extremely talented Norwegian friends of mine, you should check them out!

NB: We know them pretty well, but if you reader don't know what this is all about just click here.
Something else youíd like to mention and we forgot to ask? or any funny anecdote?
C: If you read this whole interview, THANKS. If I have your attention at this point, I'm also assuming you have NOTHING else to do, so head over to my SoundCloud for lots of fun stuff to listen to!
Hi mom! I'm on the internet!

You totally are man. Our huge pleasure to introduce a little bit of you and your work to the world. Now it is their turn to follow you and support you, but they will do for sure after hearing some of Coucheron's sound

NB:  Do you prefer writing original tracks or remixing and why?
K: Remix or make original mix it's a different way of works, but if we've to choose we absolutelly choose original mix, becouse when you start draw some, you always use a clean sheet.

NB: If you could pick anyone, whom would you pick for your next collaboration?
K:The four above mentioned.

NB: Nice choice. Who introduced you in electro? Did you have any mentor to whom you want to say hello?
K: Hi Patty & Anka.

NB: Who is, in your opinion, the enemy public of music numer one?
K: Who are not able to apreciate different kind of music.

NB: AMEN! So if your studio was on fire what would be the first thing to save?

NB what programms do you prefer to use: ableton, traktor,...? And why?
K: In production we use cubase, becouse we think is the best in editing audio, and to play live we use ableton live.

NB: like breakbot, madeon and many more. We have a section called 'New memories' to talk about the most epic tracks and albums that everybody should listen at least once...so what is, in your opinion, the biggest one?
K: ''Always outnumbered never outgunned'' from Prodigy and ''Echoes'' from Pink Floyd.

NB: And what would you say is your biggest music achievement so far?
K: The next.

NB: we hope to be there to see it. Are you introducing any new sounds in your compositions? any experimental style has a special influence in your songs?
K: We're and we will be always in research of something experimental and new, and you can listen soon in our first album we're workin' on.

NB: what is for you the most underestimated band in the electro music scene?
K: Ovviously karasho hahha.

NB: no after this interview. Something else you’d like to mention and we forgot to ask? or any funny anecdote?
K: Our anecdotes are too hardcore to be mentioned on a public interview ( We're sorry but probably our mums will want to read the interview...Our mums are Patty and Anka of course).

Thank you very much to this awesome underground duo! And for our dear readers some of their sounds to make this reading more pleasant. Including the teaser of their EP Antihero!

Housemeister - Music is awesome remixed


It’s Twentytwelve and Housemeister is back!
Inspired by Housemeister’s third album „Music Is Awesome“, released last year, three great acts have delivered their own versions of rapid rave dancefloor tracks.

Producers such as “Kernkraft 400″ warrior Zombie Nation is taking “Clarisse” to the next analog bleep level while – for those who can’t decide – Djedjotronic even delivers two remixes “Ady Gil” and “Rapide”, showing once again his skills in extracting the essential parts of an awesome track.

SCNTST on the other hand effortly worked out the angles of the rollercoaster “Twister” and delivers a remix with elements he’s best known for – dubby techno with playful melodies, highs and lows…always telling a story.

Coachella - The Chemical Brothers Live

This is our first post dedicated exclusively to The Chemical Brothers. We know that after so long, and have not done ​​a post only focus in them, is a reasonable reason to wish our death. But keep calm and we will try to fix it RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW

Once upon a time...the duo (Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons) decided to supplement their DJ careers by turning their bedrooms into recording studios, they pioneered a style of music (later termed big beat) remarkable for its lack of energy loss from the dancefloor to the radio. Chemical Brothers albums were less collections of songs and more hourlong journeys, chock full of deep bomb-studded beats, percussive breakdowns, and effects borrowed from a host of sources. All in all, the duo proved one of the few exceptions to the rule that intelligent dance music could never be bombastic or truly satisfying to the seasoned rock fan; it’s hardly surprising that they were one of the few dance acts to enjoy simultaneous success in the British/American mainstream and in critical quarters.
While growing up, both Rowlands and Simons grooved to an eccentric musical diet, ranging from the Smiths and Jesus and Mary Chain to Kraftwerk and Public Enemy.  Original Balearic DJs like Trevor Fung, Paul Oakenfold, and Mike Pickering brought the sound back to indie clubs in London and Manchester, and the style proved very attractive to musical eclectics like Rowlands and Simons.
Though Rowlands was already performing in the alternative dance group Ariel, the pair began DJing together at the Manchester club Naked Under Leather in 1991. Hardly believing that their weekend project would progress, they took the semiserious handle Dust Brothers (a tribute to the American production team responsible for one of their favorite albums, the Beastie Boys’ Paul’s Boutique). Despite their doubts, Rowlands and Simons’ club night did grow more popular, thanks to the duo’s Balearic mix of rare house tracks flavored with hip-hop breakdowns, independent-dance fusions, and ancient secondhand discards. After deciding to try and re-create their unique sound in their tiny bedroom studio, the Dust Brothers emerged with “Song to the Siren,” an intriguing example of the new alternative dance scene including sample victims Meat Beat Manifesto and This Mortal Coil.
After the single was pressed up on a limited release of 500 copies, it began getting attention from Britain’s top DJs, initially including an old friend named Justin Robertson but later including Andrew Weatherall and Darren Emerson. Weatherall licensed the single to Junior Boy’s Own Records, and after the pair had finished university, they moved back to London to work on another EP (14th Century Sky) and a residency at another club. After their third release, “My Mercury Mouth,” the duo began to get more high-profile clients for remixing: besides Justin Roberston’s Lionrock collective, Primal Scream, the Prodigy, and the Charlatans all received treatments.
When lawyers for the original Dust Brothers came calling in 1995, though, Rowlands and Simons were forced to change to change their name to the Chemical Brothers (the proposed Dust Brothers U.K. was turned down). Word on the street and nightclub scene was so good that it hardly mattered; their new residency at the Heavenly Sunday Social quickly became one of the hottest clubnights in England — documented on the mix disc Live at the Social, Vol. 1 — and their debut album, Exit Planet Dust, was heavily praised by critics. Another fan of the record, Oasis frontman Noel Gallagher, agreed to lend his vocals to a future single named “Setting Sun,” the Chemicals’ tribute to one of their own favorites, the Beatles’ “Tomorrow Never Knows.” The single went to number one in late 1996, and the Chemical Brothers opened up for the giant Oasis concert at Knebworth besides headlining their own shows all over the world.
The Chemical Brothers’ second album, Dig Your Own Hole, took charge of the top spot on the album charts upon its release in April 1997, and on the wings of America’s growing electronica push, the album sailed to number 14 stateside and went gold. The duo released a mix album in 1998, Brothers Gonna Work It Out, and followed with their third studio LP, Surrender, in 1999. Rather lackluster expectations sparked a return to the underground with the white-label-only single “It Began in Afrika,” and the duo’s fourth album, Come with Us. It too failed to earn the high notices of the first two albums, although after another three-year gap Rowlands and Simons returned with another, 2005’s Push the Button, with guest vocalists Q-Tip, Tim Burgess, Kele Okereke, and the Magic Numbers. The music-celebrity parade continued on 2007’s We Are the Night, this time including the Klaxons, Willy Mason, Fatlip, and Midlake. Then came Further. Their last big announcement was DON'T THINK (their movie), and their last huge gig was this one...

Bromance Release - Lana Del Rey Remixes

The prestigious name Bromance doesn't sound new to you. This time Mike Levy, aka Gesaffelstein, and Gucci Vump (Brodinski and Guillaume) launch a couple of new remixes for one of the most beautifull voices they have had the chance to remix. The french electronic producer from Paris has remixed to ZZT, Cassius, Sei A,... but now he is making something different, something new and amazing, with, in my humble opinion, the best song of Lana. I personally think that Lana Del Rey's songs are better the less you remix them, but this time Bromance makes the exception.

Moguai - Punx Up The Volume 39th episode

The year 2010 was one that will be remembered as a year of change, development and advancement in both life and in culture. Perhaps this is part of the reason for the phenomenal rise of Andre Tegeler, better known to the dance community as Moguai.
A far-reaching and highly respected DJ on his homegrown German circuit, it could also be argued that you only get out what you put in – with this case, Moguai has fully reaped the rewards of a hard working ethos and highly honed production sound, firmly establishing himself as a One to Watch for 2011 and a rapidly growing worldwide fan-base.
In between the worldwide release of his debut album WE AR LYVE (the first non-Deadmau5 album released on the rodent Mau5trap imprint), and turning out high profile remixes for the likes of famous boffin Moby and ambient minor-tone masters of chill Royksopp, Moguai has been constantly touring, honoring a packed schedule which has seen him twice head over to the US and Asian continents as well as wowing Europe wide audiences and parties with his unavoidable energy, selection and persona.

The demand for Moguai and his newly formed LYVE setup has been represented fully lately, planning, devising and creating quality tracks like they’re letters of the alphabet. 2010 saw him release Dynamik on Mau5trap with global house sensation Michael Woods, remix classic dance stalwarts Moonbeam, hold the biggest competition that DJ Download ever participated in and more recently, releasing his most accomplished and popular track to date – ‘8001 / Stay Planetary’, which made the playlist of Pete Tong’s Essential Selection show and covered by a flurry of tastemaker press and magazines including a front cover on Raveline magazine. For further proof check out the Beatport stats: several positioning’s in the overall chart with singles 8001, Oyster and Nyce – and reaching No.1 in the progressive house chart – the boy wonder is fully deserving of his ascending status as Germany’s premier breakthrough house DJ. With recent release on the UK’s Skint label, Steve Angello’s SIZE records and more penciled releases on Mau5trap and the revitalization of the Punx label.
The Dj/producer presents now his new episode in his serie of mixtapes. enjoy it while is in free download!

Martin Solveig presents SMASH episode #4

 Martin Solveig is back with a new episode of SMASH. This time for the track that gives name to his incoming EP, 'The Night Out'. An epic and hilarious chapter from one of the best Djs and producers on earth. A room with A-Track, Porter Robinson, Zedd, Dillon Francis and an invisible Madeon. I bet that more of one will kill for five minutes in that room!

You can order Martin's E.P. "The Night Out" on iTunes 



And for those who really are interested about music, here you have a little of history about this mastermind...
...perhaps it is our well-documented mutual antipathy, or maybe it is our well-documented ignorance, but Britain’s perception of French music is plain wrong. On the surface, it is indeed the land that listens to Europap and still loves to jive badly to La Bamba ’ but scratch beneath the surface and you’ll find a wealth of talent gasping for air. It has a long and noble tradition of fine singers, musicians and producers, from y y to Guy Cuevas, from Jacques Dutronc to the Saintly Serge Gainsbourg and Jean-Claude Vannier; from Ze Records to Africanism! and from Cerrone to, yes, Martin Solveig.Martin Solveig has been involved in music since he was knee-high. As a boy, he studied classical music.
 By age 13 he had acquired his pair of decks and began DJing, although it wasn’t until 1992 that he discovered electronic music. His schooling came courtesy of a sales job at the vaunted Parisian record store Champs Disques on Champs Elyses. Martin’s big break, at the tender age of 18 and thanks to the encouragement and support of mentor Claude Monnet, came when he landed the residency at prestigious Parisian nightspot Le Palace. A move to Les Bains Douches, a legendary club in the city, and then Solveig’s own Pure parties at Queen cemented his growing reputation as one to watch. But simply being a DJ has never been enough for Martin Solveig and his production ideas soon began to filter out on to vinyl, as he always knew they would. If Heart Of Africa, on his own Mixture label, drew admiring glances, it was his contribution to the Africanism series (with Bob Sinclar and DJ Gregory), the stunning Edony, which turned heads. Originally intended purely as a club track, Edony shot to the top of club charts and from there launched itself into mainstream arenas. Martin’s debut album, Sur La Terre, was the work of a young man bursting with ideas, styles, and experiments. Over the next few years Solveig hit hard with one killer cut after another, abetted by some frankly brilliant mixes by the likes of Pete Heller and Mousse T. Rocking Music, with its echoes of Prince and Michael Jackson, was an instant anthem wherever it was played and transferred from underground floors to Radio 1 playlists with consummate ease. The follow-up, I’m A Good Man, voiced by legendary growler Lee Fields, was a plaintive cry from a wronged man and in Mousse T’s Breakbeat Mix brought a taste of Noo Orleans funk to modern electronic dancefloors. ‘The new album probably has a slight flavour of the ’60s and ’70s, which have always embodied a certain freedom for me, being a child of the 80s, the economic crisis, the condom generation?!

Then I’m into wine, parties and low necklines, so I feel quite in tune with the title.’ So says Martin of his latest album, Hedonism, which amply showed the maturation of his productions, moving effortlessly from the familiar terrain of four-to-the-floor rhythms, to take in the sub-R&B of Black Voices or the audacious modern reading of Requiem Pour Un Con. ‘Serge Gainsbourg is a master and I wanted to pay humble tribute,’ says Martin. ‘The song provides a little break in the album’s progress, as well as a French touch that I’m attached to. I think the best songs are made to last and be covered. New versions always have something new to add, even if they never achieve the magic of the original.
‘This cover version, defiantly electronic, compared to the sparse and organic original, ably demonstrates the Solveig modus operandi, producing music that is simultaneously synthetic and natural, warm and glacial. ’I use both electronics and live musicians, sometimes with classical instruments like keyboards, horns and any piano instruments,’ explains Solveig. ‘Most of my drums are programmed, but what I really love is using classical instruments with an electronic device. For example I used a big B3 Hammond organ, recorded a whole session with a musician and then took bits from it and made it sound almost like an electronic sample. You still have the good quality of the instrument, but with the ability to make it a bit faster or more repetitive or whatever. That’s what I like ’ to get inside an organic sound and make it electronic.’ Martin Solveig is not prolific, but everything he makes is worth waiting for. He has always eschewed the remix treadmill, not because he disapproves of it, but it is simply not his path. Solveig’s destiny lies elsewhere.
His life is good. Fulfilled. ‘Even if I sometimes grumble a bit from tiredness, I’m a child blessed by fortune and very happy in his everyday life,’ chuckles Martin. ‘I should quote Karl Lagerfeld: ’Holidays are for people who work’.’ And all work and no play would make Martin a very dull boy indeed.
