BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix: Eric Prydz

Posted by Blas Yaselli - February 4, 2013

MASSIVE NEW ESSENTIAL MIX, powered by Swedish (now based LA) DJ and producer Eric Prydz. We post many mixes throughout the year but what sets this one apart from all the others is its sheer volume of unreleased music.

We would be content with exclusive tracks from Jeremy Olander and Cirez D of Pryda Friends, a sublabel of Eric’s very own label Pryda Recordings… But apparently it just wasn’t enough and thus you can expect the inclussion of another 12 UNRELEASED Pryda tracks.

Whether you had a rough weekend or not, this two hour long mix will ease you into a Monday and give you a glimpse of what to expect in 2013.

Giraffage – Close 2 Me [Must Listen]

Posted by Blas Yaselli - February 4, 2013

Sporadic and yet quite contained, the new sound of San Francisco based producer and recent Alpha Pup Records signee Giraffage demonstrate yet another reason for our complete fascination for his music. ‘Close 2 Me’ manipulates both time and harmonies ultimately composing one of the most seductive chill tracks of the year (so far).

Giraffage, master of time manipulation, also released a gorgeous remix of The Dream’s ‘Shawty Is Da Shit’ to which you can listen below.

Wolf Alice – White Leather [Indie]

Posted by Blas Yaselli - February 4, 2013

Just after the release of ‘Fluffy’ earlier in January, Wolf Alice, the charming four-piece form London, has another delicate story for us. It’s somber but not depressing B-side ‘White Leather’, powered by the smooth and relaxing vocals of Ellie Roswell, will be along with the single on February 11th via Chess Club Records.

Big Chocolate – Blue Milk (Kid Ranger Remix)

Posted by Blas Yaselli - January 31, 2013

Coming off from the massive reaction to his drumstep remix of Savage’s 2005 classic song ‘Swing’, Kid Ranger brings another full force rendition of a much recent track: Big Chocolate’s very own Hip/Hop and Trap concoction ‘Blue Milk’. The marriage between Hip/Hop and Trap may be obvious, but it is artists like Big Chocolate that extend this Honeymoon period bringing excitement and experimentation to the wonderful love affair.

The California producer proves himself, yet again, paying tribute to the original’s heavier dynamics while infusing an intense, high-pressured bassline, rich in both intensity and appeal. This head-bobber is Kid Ranger’s submission to Big Chocolate remix competition for ‘Blue Milk’ and we urge you to help us vote for Kid Ranger here.

Riva Starr feat Rssll – Absence [official video]

Posted by Blas Yaselli - January 31, 2013

Riva Starr, the eclectic London DJ/Producer, whose won over loyal fans in the likes of Annie Mac, Gilles Peterson, Swedish House Mafia, is starting the year strong with his latest single “Absence”. The softly and opaque original not only demonstrates his ability to compose intricate sounds full of surrealism and esoteric elements but also illustrates his maturity as a producer since his first introduction to the UK underground house scene in 2009.

The effortlessly charming single is accompanied by its official music video, drawing from European experimental cinema and theatre and creepy scenes that feel taken out of a David Lynch film.

‘Absence’ is the first track from his forthcoming sophomore album ‘Hands In Hands’ being released 7th March.

GUTS – Django Remix [Soundtrack]

Posted by Blas Yaselli - January 31, 2013

After experiencing one of the best movies ever created, Inglorious Bastards, it was obvious that another Tarantino revenge story would provide just as much pleasure. Django, a love story that wraps around themes of revenge and justice was accompanied by one of the most modern soundtracks in the last couple of years. However, the main Django theme song is not so recent, originally composed in 1966 by Luis Bacalov. Spanish producer Guts, took the already excellent original and made a slow, easily digesting chill rendition.

A$AP Rocky just dropped a smooth and powerful track featuring Trey Songz titled ‘Same Bitch’. The single, which contains a much more appealing sound than what we heard on his latest album Long.Live.A$AP, will appear on Street Runnaz 72 mixtape hosted by DJ Spinatik.
