Unless you've been living under a rock you'll have heard Lana Del Rey's 'Video Games' by now.
Whilst it's tempting to follow HRO, P4K and god knows how many others in discussing how she's uber-mainstreamer or (probably) not an altBro,

To be honest I just like the song.

If you've not heard it:



Anyway, why're we here.
As soon as it started going viral it was just a case of waiting for mixers to try and capitalise on the hype.

hence;



LDR Double A-side "Video Games//Blue Jeans" available in 7" and digital from the 16th October.

Woon remix tbc.

Not heard a lot out of Buraka Som Sistema since Fabriclive,
With their third LP Komba set to drop on the 31st October, something arrived in my mailbox.


Bababa (Hangover) (Shaan Saigol Remix) [320]
[Buraka Som Sistema]

First half: Brilliant (Congorockesque)


+ Komba preview track +

Felguk have been busy,
What with their collaborations with Spencer & Hill, DirtyLoud, and... Example.

The intro's not much to shout about, but when it drops the bass is deep enough to swim in.

Enjoy.

Full story HERE

Condolences to his son, his wife Fafi, the Ed crew and the endless number of DJs who've taken to the net to express their shock at his passing, and their gratitude for his very existence.

It's been so long since i've found anything worthy to contribute,
so, without further ado:

Sirius [320]

[Congorock]

OJ

And... we had to do it...

No Beef (Vocal Mix) [320]

September 5th kids!


+BONUS+
A new treat from gLAdiator:





XN
Hadn't paid much attention to Alesso except for his eponymous EP (over a year ago).
I think you could've safely said he was very much a tech-house kinda guy.

Then...


[Nadia Ali]

ah-uh-ah-uh-ah-ah-ah
ah-uh-ah-uh-ah.

XN
How had we not heard of these guys before?

Monsters of Graveyard are a pair of bros from Latvia.
The presentation ain't great (Hire a new promo team boys!)
But the prod skills they're showing on some of their tracks are impressive.

[Monsters of Graveyard]

Only in LQ because they need your support!



[ed: The track's now listed on Beatports top ten electro tracks!]

XN
Scared by how much prog-house i've been listening to lately.



[Sandro Silva, Quintino]

Apt track ID.
Turn the lows up when it drops and you'll know what I mean.

XN

New Dada Life!

It would have been easy to fuck up a Mustard Pimp mix, but they've blasted it.

Why would you re-edit Boys Noize/Erol Alkan and get Jarvis Cocker to vocalise over it?

Ask Terminal Velocity.

Available in HQ from Phantasy.

Boy howdy is D.I.M. good.
Not as rowdy as usual, but still fantastic.

We're suckers for chopped up vocals:

[Will Bailey]

[Tonic]

[Watch this space]


and Bass:

[AC Slater]


and Djedjotronic:

[Chromeo]



and... hits?

[Duck Sauce]


XN
This dropped yesterday and boy howdy is it good.
We like John Dahlback anyway, but try passing this through your speakers.

[John Dahlback]

Just released as a double A-side with Pesca.
Pesca's great too, but there's a reason Violins is the lead track...


XN
Linked up to this through beatport charts.
Not normally my thing, but I like the contrast.

[Artistic Raw]


Booty rattlin'



XN
The word hype isn't even close to describing what's been going down about this track pre and post release.
After "Lyposuct" folks have been waiting for another smash from D.I.M & Tai
(Even though some of their work separately is arguably better...).



Whilst it's good, it's not got that sugar-sugar lyposuct had.
It's got energy but lacks the bootyshake-inducing charm.

Have an LQ version:

[D.I.M. & Tai]


And Beatport it here


XN
A new, rather smashing stomper from Beataucue.



[Adrian Lux]

Takes a while, then boom!

XN
Probably more famous for his combo with Chuckie (The masterful "Mutfakta"),
This new track from Gregori Klosman may just top it.


[Gregori Klosman]

Can't help but think this is what "Ion" (The new "Lyposuct-killer") by D.I.M. & Tai SHOULD have sounded like...

XN
Holy balls it's sticky.
Tracks old and new for the summer?
Go on then.

FOR THE CHILL:

If ever there was a song for strutting down the street in the sunshine, it's this:

Embody
[SebastiAn]


We like it so much, we're posting it again:

I Wanna Know
[Royksopp]


Not as good as their first album (SO HIP), but still some gems:

The Bay
[Metronomy]


Different from what you'd expect:

Vegetarian Restaurant
[The Knife]

Unadulterated funk:

Shades of Black
[Breakbot]


Great track, great times:
