HOT CHIP DJ MIX SEPTEMBER 2017

Perhaps one of the most iconic live electronic outfits operating in any capacity of the music world today, London bred synth-pop superstars Hot Chip, have long been a shiny apple in both this writer’s, and TMN’s eyes (or ears for that matter). In advance of a looming November U.S. DJ tour, two of the Hot Chip’s gangs most formidable members, Joe Goddard & Felix Martin, have put together a healthy amount of tunes to tune your cochlear cavities in advance of what will no doubt be a bevy of eclectic sets from the pair. Their latest mix flirts with slices of R&B, reggaeton, soul, synth-pop, jazz and indie including a handful of effective groovers and obscure tracks from the likes of Addison Groove, Roman Flugel, and Omar S ft. Nite Jewel, all through the scope of a dancefloor, and they’ve come up aces with another worthy addition to their mix catalog. The tracklist for Hot Chip’s latest DJ mix can be found below, as well as all dates dotting their forthcoming U.S. tour.

Bones

“Bones” by JackLNDN was somewhat unexpected since he just recently dropped a remix for Ben Phipps. There’s no stopping him though, he’s always got something hot tucked under his sleeve. Released on Deux Trois, this original is one of the dojo’s favorites from his catalog.

JackLNDN is well regarded as one of the smoothest producers around. When he drops something, you know you’re getting into something cool, crisp and clean. His signature sound is not something that gets old, it’s got a timeless feel. It’s no wonder that Pete Tong’s co-owned label backed this beautiful single. “Bones” has got it all and it comes just in time for your Fall playlists. Grab a copy or add it today through digital stores.

[House] Ben Phipps – Mrs Mr ft. Lizzy Land (JackLNDN Remix)

Ben Phipps‘ single “Mrs Mr” with Lizzy Land was a nice change of pace from the usual Summer releases. Lizzy’s powerful performance was one of the most memorable of the season and Ben’s electro-infused instrumental was grade A. Now all the components that made the song great have been flipped by JackLNDN.

As smooth as the original was, this one is even smoother with Jack’s groovy, infectious sound. He gets down with a housey take with a deeper, more modern sound than the original. Ben’s was a more a classic, Euro electro sound, whereas JackLNDN delivers his usual fresh, contemporary club sound. This is a track you’re going to want to grab a copy of, or at least add it to your Spotify playlists for Fall. If either of those are what you’re looking for, head over to the track’s platform page today.

[House] Maya Payne – Something We Once Knew (PatrickReza Remix)

Something We Once Knew (Remix)

“Something We Once Knew” is Maya Payne‘s most recent original work. It’s something worth checking out and so is PatrickReza‘s take on the track which we have for you today.

Released as a free download, this remix sees Patrick going back to the house genre, except he dives into disco with this edit. “Something We Once Knew” went from alternative pop to a nu-disco style record with one flip. Patrick can tackle any genre he sets his mind to and it’s nice to hear something different with this one. Every time he drops something, it’s worth the listen and the buy. Although it’s been released as a free download, it is still available on digital formats for those looking to support!

LEFTI – Stand Up feat. John Pugh [TMN Premiere]

Posted by Tyler Trew - August 11, 2017

We hope you have your dancing shoes on, because LEFTI brought something super funky into the dojo. Featuring John Pugh, the extra groovy single “Stand Up” is here. In this premiere you get a first listen to one of the most lively tunes of the Summer.

“Stand Up” will get you on your feet in no time. It sounds as thought it came out at the height of the disco era, while also coming out at the height of house music’s popularity. In mixing the best of both worlds, LEFTI created a timeless piece of music that’s ready for anyone. You don’t even have to like electronic music to fall head over heals in love with this tune. Stream it today and drink plenty of water, because you’ll be breaking a sweat moving to this.

We The Kids
Billion

Soundcloud

A new duo out of Sweden has quickly become one of our favorite acts and they have only released on song. “Billion” is enough to do that and you’ll see, or rather hear, why in a moment. We The Kids took a strong first step with their debut track to set themselves up for big success.

Released on Tenacity Records, “Billion” is an indie dance treasure, taking influence from pop, future, R&B and more. It’s a magnificent melting pot of bright sounds and lovable melodies that come just in time for the Summer season. Their odd, but intriguing attitude comes through in their sound; it will suck you in and never let go. Stream their debut single today and stay tuned for more work from them soon.

[Electronic] Drake – Passionfruit (A&G Remix) [Andrew Tejada Cover]

With the recent Spotify boom and the decline of Soundcloud, the cover/remix package is becoming quite the go-to. One artist who has recently hopped on that with some success is A&G, who remixed Drake’s “Passionfruit” with the help of vocalist Andrew Tejada.

The tropically driven remix by A&G has a throwback sound to when the sub-genre was first circulating. It makes for a nice nostalgic Summer song. It’s got a chill vibe to it, but that doesn’t mean it wouldn’t make for a good record to get a party going. Dance-able and vivid, this new “Passionfruit” will be eaten up by party goers all season long. A&G released this one as a free download, so there’s no real reason to sleep on it.
