Drop The Lime - Devil's Eyes


After the mammoth release Set Me Free, Drop the Lime's new single released exclusively on Bacardi B-Live is just as big and could possible be my favourite song in so long and my song of the year. The vocals Drop the Lime has been adding to his voclas of recent times are nothing short of genius. Remixes have been coming thick and fast with the likes of Diplo, Classixx, Kanji, Beataucue and apparently a Foamo one is in the works according to the man himself which no doubt will add to the rotor of great remixes. Here they all are with Diplo's being my undeniable favourite.

The 30 minute mix comes in 2 halfs; first half is 15 minute grime session with Jammer, C Gritz & Diesel and the second a straight up instramental mix with tracks from Eygtptrixx, Agent X and a new collaboration betwen the man Mumdance himself and Drums of Death to form the very interesting Mums of Death.

Douster



I wish I had enough time to concentrate and make as many tunes and remixes as Douster does but alas juggling between making tunes, college and playing an insane amount Call of Duty, it pretty much seems impossible. An artists who's tunes and remixes have been on repeat on my Ipod constantly for the past months, Douster is a French/Argentian producer taking house to an all new tropical level. His unique take on blending Baltimore, Hip-Hop, Zouk in a nice House package has seen him rise to fame in a very short amount of time with labels such as Sound Pellegrino backing him all the way. He's recently caused quite a stir with his recent track "King of Africa", which is a club anthem based around a Lion King sample which for most has been a love or hate thing but I personally think its huge in the right context.



His latest offering is a remix of Malente & Dex's song Lions.

A-Trak - I Love Techno 2009



I Love Techno came and went again this year and again I couldnt make it. I said it last year but Im defenitely going next year. With an impressive line up consisting of superstar acts such as Laurent Garnier, Tiga, Brodinski, Proxy, Chris Leibing, Crookers, Boys Noize, Simian Mobile Disco to name JUST a few everyone knew this was going to be a good year. Of all the people I know who went they all came back saying they thouroughly enjoyed one set in particular; that set was A-Traks. Montreal born he's got quite a name for himself as being to first to win all Major DJ competetions and all being the youngest person ever at 15 to win the DMC's World DJ Championship. Impressive to say the least.



Heres his set from I Love Techno. Straight up house party set. Big

Strip Steve - Disco Delta E.P



How I wish to be Strip Steve. Only in his early twenties, signed to Boys Noize Records and reviving old school filter house with such success that his new E.P is getting praised from all angles with no bad reviews within probably the Earth. You have too cut it for the young kid from Bordeaux; hes done well for himself.

His new E.P titled Delta Disco is a mixture of banging house ala Cassius and Daft Punk and funky rolling basslines so diverse thats its easy to see why this kid is getting so much hype. My personal favourite of the E.P deciding only just today after two whole days worth of listening is "Dancin". Got damm that vocal hook is too cathy.



You can listen and download the Delta Disco E.P Snippet here.

Button Masher



We've had the big artists mentioned but now its time for the artists you may not have heard of. ;)
I dont know much about Button Masher myself apart from that he resides in Melbourne, Australia and..........makes great tunes :)

I do however like the quote on his myspace:

"Keep training your fish to be fine musicians, because one day they will be the flyest in the sea"

He's recently finished his remix of Noob and Brodinski's "Peanuts Club" for the remix competition and all I can say is wow. Much prefer this to the original and even the Beatacue remix. Show him some love and leave a comment on his myspace Here

Heres the remix for you. Absolutely Brilliant.

Drop The Lime - Set Me Free



Drop the Lime, aka Luca Venezia, aka also Curses! (signed to French label Institubes) could be said to be a very busy man. Whens he not hitting the road and performing or whatever dj's do, as Drop the Lime or Curses! he runs label Trouble and Bass which is responsibe for releases from artists such as Mathhead, Baobinga, Supra1, Boy 8 Bit and Star Eyes, all very bass influenced tunes.

His new track is out now and lives up to all expectations I had for this tune. With an epic bassline and beautiful catchy vocals from Carrie Wilds this song has massive crossover potential and I defenitely see this appealing to a larger crowd. Huge hit for sure.

Remixes are courtesy of Harvard Bass,a Californian producer signed to Instibubes baby label Sound Pelligrino who I have to add are killing it at the moment, and Zombie Disco Squad who adds a briliiantly structured tropical house themed style to the track.
