Toyboy & Robin - In Need

We are loving the sound of house/bass with RnB style vocal samples right now. This from ToyBoy & Robin is right up there with some of the best of this style.

Ben Howard - The Fear (Moonlight Matters Rework)

Well this is a refreshing track, a rework of Ben Howards acoustic original, this is chipry and feel good so much so that it isntantly strikes a chord with the listener. The second half on the track builds slowly to a explosion of happiness, like the end of a hollywood feel good film but better.

Moonlight Matters cleary knows his stuff as this rework is seamless. 

Destiny's Child - Say My Name (Cyril Hahn Remix)

Is this what you might call a guilty pleasure, if so pleasure me up baby!

A deep house version of the Destiny's Child original with the vocals slowed down and deepened, it has nuanses of UK Bass touches to it including simple kicks and snares that really make this track one that would want to play over and over. When I first heard this i thought the continued vocals were a mistake and Cyril should have stuck with a loop of a few vocal segments. However after having this on repeat I will retract that, this is a wonderful rework of a classic. Free download too, what more can we ask for on a Friday, I'm sure B & co would be proud.

Goldroom - Fifteen featuring Chela

Another cracking tune from the man of the moment, Josh Legg continues to consistently dish out a high standard of music. What we love about him is his refusal to buy into trends and to be influenced too much by other artists, which means Goldroom is carving out his own unique style that is instantly recognisable. 

This features Chela, aka Chelsea Wheatley from a Melbourne based punk rock band, The Gingers. This dreamy, it's hypnotic and the crisp production & haunting vocals from Chela means Fifteen becomes part of a soundtrack to you life. We defy you not to want to listen to this at least a few times today.

Also as he is a jolly nice fellow, this is available for free download.

After the Jump is the interview that Goldroom did for us, with an exclusive minimix heard on 107.3FM...

Alex Metric- Ammunition EP

Metric has wrapped up with Rave Weapon single into a lovely little EP so it can go in your MP3 player with a lovely logo and allsorts, what a lovely fellow.

It's good as well, no wonder so many people in the music industry are loving what he is doing, even Miike Snow have tapped him up into their new label venture, ROBOTBERGET & InGRD

The second track, Andbody Else has a Daft Punk nu-disco aeroplane feel about it, everything that we love right now. Long gone are the days when I was the only person dancing at his gigs (see picture after the jump)

New AM tour dates also after the break. Plus added free download!

Riva Starr & Fatboy Slim (feat. Beardyman) - Get Naked (Dub Mix)

We might be a little behind with this but it was only released on Beatport two days ago, so we are sort of topical still. 

London Based, Stefano Miele Riva Starr has teamed up with the tour de force that is Norman Cook and beatboxer Beardyman to produce this excellent destined for the clubs track.

I've found this to be the best remix of it so far, with it's pastiches to classic club tracks that have gone before it, a rasping drum beat, plinky electro sounds and a menacing bass line. It all goes together quite perfectly and makes me quite nostalgic.

Other Remixes after the break....

Treasure Fingers - Take My Hand

This reminds me of house music from my youth, being in a sweaty club dressed to the nines whilst thumping subs with looped funk infused beats pounded through the airwaves. Good times had by all, and Defected records know a talented producer/DJ when they hear one.

That is why they snapped up the Brooklyn based, Ashley Scott Jones as soon as they could. This new track is just as special as his others which I have added after the jump.

This track was released today and I expect more from him in 2012, as he is already a grandesque figure on the club music scene with remixes of Chromeo, Alex Metric, Empire of the Sun, Miike Snow and  Tensnake all under his belt.
