Seattle based Throw Me the Statue covers “Sharpshooters” off the upcoming BOAT LP “Pretend to be Brave.” out February 2013. The subtle simplicity and experimental nature that breaths around the minimal instrumentation just makes this track a joy to listen to. Check out more of Throw Me the Statue off their official site.
One of the highlights of the last few weeks in electronic music has definitely been our introduction to Norwegian duo Carl Louis and Martin Danielle, or CLMD. Harmonic electronics that can still cater to the global scene of house music is perhaps one of the most thought-out feature we look in all the electronic songs we post and CLMD deliver with overwhelmingly ease in their execution. Coming off their infectious number “Black Eyes & Blue” the does has released yet another satisfying big room track titled ‘Falling Like Angels’ featuring AJB.
You can purchase a copy of ‘Falling Like Angels’ on beatportand to celebrate a brand new year, CLMD sent us this must-listen exclusive banging mix combining their most recent original work as well as renditions from the best tracks of 2012. (Tracklist below after the jump)
Already counting the likes of Tiesto, David Guetta, Swedish House Mafia and more as fans, we where honored to talk to these guys and ask them a couple more questions about how it all came to be, and the very music they produce:
TMN: First off, what a phenomenal new single! “Falling like Angels” really blew us away and got us interested in learning more about you. Tell us the story behind CLMD, the name itself and how did you two meet?
Thank you!
We are just two guys from Norway who have been best friends since we were six. Somewhere along the way we got tangled into house music, which grew from an interest into info becoming our lives.
TMN: You guys have been active for a little more than 3 years now, how has your own music changed over the last 24 months with so much new content and many genres being fused together in the electronic dance scene?
As most other, we constantly develop our sound. But for us it has been very important to keep our signature. These days its all about being loud and bringing the most energy and intensity into the music, but we have been more focused on bringing out the emotion in the music. For us, emotional energy is the most important ingredient to our music, and we guess that why it’s a bit different? Change is good, but it’s important to remember the past too. We always try to bring the best of the old and fuse it with the new in our productions.
TMN: Tell us about some of your earliest memories and experiences with music. What songs/artists influence you the most. What are some of the artists you currently look up to?
The silky smooth single “A little Death” from upcoming and beloved group The Neighbourhood now has its visual counterpart. First release last month with its mesmerizing melodies and seductive vocals, The Neighbourhood, as with all of their other releases, are able to encapsulate genuine emotions around a perfectly layered instrumentation of indie sounds with R&B elements. While there isn’t much substance for the video as a whole, featuring a romantic lesbian scene in slow motion, we love The Neighbourhood too much not post this track. Enjoy
Huge release for Netherlands producing duo Bassjackers coming up! Teaming up with brothers, Sjoerd and Wouter Janssen that make up Showtek, comes the highly powered single “Hey!” whose broad and filthy electro synths expose the true meaning of a banger.
Coming off the amazing success of “Cannonball”, Showtek’s collaboration with Justin Prime, “Hey!” shares the same aggressive nature with the iconic melodic foundation of a Bassjackers productions.
“Hey!” released December 31, 2012 on Spinnin Records can be purchased on beatport
Azealia Banks, the young and talented American rapper starts the year of early with the release of her latest single “BBD”, featuring her always abundant lyrical style. Produced by Apple Juice Kid and Sup Doodle the trap-infused single combines many influences of music as she explains:
While this is not the first “official” single for her upcoming debut album Broke with Expensive Taste, out on February 12, it does provide a glimpse of what to expect in 2013.
If you plan to wobble around the Christmas Tree, look no further. To celebrate this jolly Holiday PatrickReza has brought gifts through the airwaves with his latest remix of ‘Rockin’ around the Christmas Tree’. Heavy and grinding basslines to the original vocals of Brenda Lee makes this the perfect dubstep song for your upcoming Christmas party. Enjoy!
Not very impressed by this whole apocalypse thing today, IHOP wasn’t even full when I went there this morning. “End of the World” is the illustrious new single from Hunter Hunted ( Dan Chang and Michael Garner’s new project since Lady Danville). We have come to love this Los Angeles duo for excelling at finding that perfect balance between California indie and folk rock. Their latest single feels more like a reset, a fresh new beginning and perhaps the very title could be interpretative as the end of this world, so we can start a new one. Can’t wait what they have in store for 2013.
