Little Dragon - Twice (Nano disk remix)


Whats is it about Little Dragon's lead singer, Yukimi Nagano, voice that makes her so damn amazing. The tunes coming out from Little Dragon, the remixes of their work and the collaborations with artists such as SBTRKT always seem to go on to critical acclaim. And this tune here should be no exception.

Nanodisk, who is part of the label KernowMidi from the UK, has created this silky smooth remix of Little Dragon's tune 'Twice' which i have no doubt will be an online hit if it is picked up by the right blogs.

Check out the tune below and support Nanodisk and the KernowMidi guys by visiting and liking their Facebook fan page here

Totally Enormous Extinct Dinsoaurs (T-E-E-D) Essential Mix with tracklist



T-E-E-D or better known as Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs or actually known as Orlando Higginbottom really needs no introduction at this stage. His tunes have been everywhere the last couple of years, with bangers such as 'Trouble', 'Garden', 'Tapes & Money', and my personal favourite 'Dream On'. He recently released his new album 'Trouble' in June this year which has received rave reviews and has cemented his stature as one of the most pioneering producers of the time.

We're Back! With a super exclusive. The Aston Shuffle - Can't Stop Now

So we have been on a bit of a hiatus over the last few months. A mix of travel and work have caused this. No excuse though. We will be up and running as per usual again now and are looking to make some upgrades to the blog shortly, so look out for these coming soon.

To kick things back off we have a freshly released tune, literally it was live about an hour ago. The first single from Aston Shuffle's sophomore album release due early 2013. This will also be released digitally 7th September on EMI.

Gramatik - #digitalfreedom EP available for free download


Gramatik has to be one of my favourite artists at the moment. Producing tunes under Pretty Lights label, they are absolute good c#$ts by giving away all their music for free, hence the title for this album #digitalfreedom.

Of his new album he said "My new EP bares the title #digitalfreedom. As an artist that based his entire career on the platform of free file sharing, I'm dedicating it to the fight against severe internet censorship bills we've been hearing about so much in the past months. Bastards have been trying to cripple the internet on a global scale with bills like ACTA/SOPA/PIPA and I'm sure there's more of them coming, so this one goes out for spreading awareness! Reject them all, they will never stop the sharing, the Internet is our realm, DIGITAL FREEDOM!"

I have huge props for what these guys stand up for and the quality of music they release. Check out the tunes from the album on the live stream below and if they tickle your fancy shoot over to the Pretty Lights Music websitehttp://www.facebook.com/gramatik on the link below and access the free download. Plus check out the other great artists on the site including the label creator himself, Pretty Lights.

The Best of Future Music Festival 2012 - Skirllex, Swedish House Mafia, Friendly Fires, Knife Party, Flux Pavillion

Future was on Saturday and it was heavy. Man there was a lot of people, the crowd for Skrillex was especially crazy. I have to say though the whole layout of the festival, especially the main stage, was utter crap, but hey, once your in and past all the niggle of getting where you want, you have fun.

There were some massive acts, and some huge clashes. Lucky though that most at the top of the list were away from the main stage which made it overall a really enjoyable experience as you could get as close as you wanted. Some people paid the price of having such a small inner front area separated by such a small securtity gap. I saw heaps fence jumpers, and groups storming security successfully. This all culminating in seeing a female security carried out unconscious.

Skrillex, from what i could see stuck on the side, was pretty good. Friendly Fires were EPIC! and the crowd was barely full. The highlight here was Ed Macfarlane jumping into the crowd and running around for a whole song singing with the crowd, that and his dancing which is always classic.

Knife Party and Porter Robinson were the final acts of the day and both did a solid job of ripping the ear drums to pieces, in a good way. Both were very heavy and had some awesome tunes. Zedd's remix of Breaking a Sweat by Skrillex was on heavy repeat and watching a 19 year old absolutely kill it while having Pendulum behind you gapsing at everything you do really makes you think what you did with your early years.

Overall an awesome day and night, i have compiled a couple of the tunes i remember from the festival to give you a taste, bring on next year.

Swedish House Mafia - GREYHOUND 
 

Knife Party - Internet Friends (VIP - Mix Rip)



 Benny Bennassi - Cinema (Skrillex Remix) by Skrillex



Friendly Fires - Live Those Days Tonight by UMPG

Sway - Level Up (FAKE BLOOD Mix)

Fake Blood has been one of my favourite artists for a while now, however there has been constant frustration by the lack of releases he has been doing. About three years ago he came out with a bunch of bangers. But of recent he has been sticking to the remixes and releasing them sporadically.

So i was amped to hear that, while its not a Fake Blood original, that he had remixed Sway's tune Level up. Check out the tune, it is sick with Fake Blood solid brooding basslines, fidgety filters and the heavy sampling on the vocals. Hopefully more is to come soon.

SBTRKT - Surely (2012?)

To say the last month has been busy would be an understatement. With work going gangbusters and music festivals a plenty the blog has been in a bit of a lull state for the last few weeks. But we are back on and will have plenty of new tunes, mixes and news coming your way.

Starting with my favourite, and now seems to be everyone's new favourite, SBTRKT, who recently released this tasty wee number through his Soundcloud. Explanation says it was a bonus track, so assuming it never got on an album but i could be wrong.

The tune has his trademark soothing basslines, with exquisite drum work. Seriously if you get to see his live show you will see how awesome this guy is on the drums, while controlling most of the other sounds going on.

The tune is called Surely, no word yet on any releases or anything of the sort.

Elizabeth Rose - Ready


Ready is a beautiful song by the hugely talented Elizabeth Rose. I have had this on repeat all day and can still not get enough of this.

Hailing from Sydney, 21-year-old electronic-pop producer, Elizabeth Rose, is definitely one to watch. Her debut single released in January which is below and has been getting rave reviews, add one to the list from me as well. The single is from her first EP, which is speculated to be out mid-year. Keep an eye out for this one as, if the first tune is anything to go, by the EP is going to be off the chain.
