a DEF SEC Collab .:.:.:. Emeron Kale & Guy Zalaxy remix St. Lucia

Today we have a special post - the first official DEF SEC collaboration .:.:.:. Emeron Kale of Emeron & Fox and Guy Zalaxy of Follow Me combined forces on an epic synthpop remix of St. Lucia's Closer Than This.  A perfect soundtrack for cruising around and enjoying the warm weather here in New York, Earth.  Tasty vintage analog synths throughout.

Teen Daze

To My Fellow Heads and My Brothers here at DEF SEC, just want to say a quick apology, I don't know how I missed these dudes: Meet Teendaze, already quite well known and popular from what I've quickly gathered on your planets internet system, here with some really fresh vibes for you to bounce your head a lil to this morning. They've uploaded a new track within the last day and its one of the most evolved and intricate tunes I've heard in weeks now. These are some serious fucking heads. I actually found these dudes through this silky smooth remix dropped just hours ago by Brothetiger, so make sure to give that a listen as well. Beautiful synth music for all. Enjoy the day.

+++ a quick addition from INNER WORLDS, brought this one on many transdimensional journeys last spring ∆

GOLDROOM REMIXED BY FOLLOW ME

Yo. Follow Me is back with this poetic remix of Goldroom's latest single 'Angeles'. Here, Float around for a while:

INNER WORLDS remixes MONSIEUR ADI .:. Requiem

Just wrapped up my entry for the Monsieur Adi .:. Requiem remix contest.  It's got an epic 1:40 buildup/intro, then it transitions into intense, melt-your-face-off electronics.  Give it some love, help me win another remix contest!  As usual, all analog & circuit bent gear. 

INNER WORLDS picks

Back with some tasty jams that I heard while kickin' it in the future.  Need some tunes for an upcoming transdimensional adventure?  I got u
 


What a collab... coldwave dreamteam Liz and Laszlo (Automelodi's Xavier Paradis and Xeno & Oaklander's Liz Wendlebo) just released Rien À Paris on Weird Records. A tasteful minimal synth gem - clean analogs, french vocals... what more could you want?


Seapunk has been a guilty pleasure of mine for the past few months. Ya like the soundtrack to Wave Race 64? drugs? You might dig seapunk. Artists like Daims are bringing the genre out of gimmick territory and doing some seriously interesting stuff.  Their A$$ Mix from a few weeks ago is pretty incredible as well - a blend of faded electronics and trill raps overflowing with synthetic bliss.



And if you haven't listened to Lapalux's When You're Gone EP yet, get it together. Moments is what people are gonna be bonin to 50 years from now.

 
+ my favorite of all the Pictureplane remixes, & I think this ones a bootleg.  Teams killed it


Enjoy, look out for a blissed-out INNER WORLDS mixtape coming soon .:.:.:.

New Follow Me & More

Yo,

Sorry, we have been in the other dimension for a minute. Now that we are back, here is some new Follow Me as well as some big tunes from the past week or so. Enjoy.

INNER WORLDS remixes FLATBUSH ZOMBIES

Half way through my first listen of Thug Waffle by Flatbush Zombies I knew I had to do this remix.  Acid rap + signature IW blissed out vibes - huge pads, hazy leads & lots of BASS

& the original video is pretty incredible as well...

.:. Pyramid .:.

Chillin pretty hard on this brand new track from the Frenchman -Pyramid- Have yourself a bump, it's tres smooth .:. .:. .:.

If this is the first you are hearing of this head, make sure you check out his latest remix of Foxes track 'Youth', as well as his Rising Day EP from a few months back, this dude is gonna be big if he keeps building these Pyramids .:. .:. .:.

February Mixtapes

Here are two February mixes for your listening pleasure. The first is by Electric Youth, and if you know anything about the Valerie Heads you know they never drop the ball on a mix, and E Youth might make the best tapes of them all. Their first February Story mix was my favorite thing to listen to back in 2010, and today they give us Part II:

The second is by DEF SEC Family members Follow Me. For those of you trying to prepare for the 2012 Cosmic Ascension, bumping these vibes is the next step you should take:

More New Goldroom

Been waiting to have a copy of this since the Magician debuted it about a month ago, New Goldroom Remix of Lancelot's 'We Can Dance'

Lil B & Pictureplane. Wait, what?

Sole and the Skyrider Band brings together Pictureplane and Lil B for some year 3012 shit on Bad Captain Swag - I don't know how I missed this one. Pictureplane provides his signature lo fi futuristic warped 90s house chords, the Based God and Sole lay down verses. Video is essential.

EDWIN VAN CLEEF

Edwin has been one of the most serious heads on the European electro scene for a few years now. His style has evolved quite a bit since the days of his 'Overtaken' EP, and he is in my opinion one of the few producers who has successfully transformed his sound to keep his vibes cutting edge while remaining true to his original sound. Here is the remix he dropped yesterday of The Penelopes track 'Sally in the Galaxy' .:. .:. .:.

Emeron & Fox remix Echo & The Bunnymen

Emeron & Fox turned an Echo & The Bunnymen classic into an electro banger.  Crunchy leads and some seriously tasty analog synth funk from the DEF SEC family

NEW KAVINSKY

He's back... standard Kavinsky electro greatness.  Throw on the wayfarers and go for a drive .:.:.:.

New Goldroom

I don't even need to say any introductory words about head of the Binary crew Josh Legg's project Goldroom anymore. Everyone knows. Dude just dropped this new remix via Kitsune records less than an hour ago, enjoy:

Since you already know about homeboy, though, let me introduce you to some new friends today as well.

NY STAND UP

Bradshaw = too much swag

SNEAKY SOUND SYSTEM

Well, I've heard some of my favorite artists such as Oliver and Lifelike do remixes of Sneaky Sound System, but I'm ashamed to admit I've never really given the band themselves the attention I now know they so clearly deserve. Actually these heads are straight blowing me away right now as I have their perfect vibes echoing through the spaceship whilst I compose this write-up. Everything that was good about the 80's and 90's with a really unique and modern twist. These heads seriously have it going on, gonna be HUGE by the end of 2012. So confused as to how some of their tracks still have less than 1,000 plays! Get with it Planet Earth. Mad respect to the Sneaky Sound System, incredible work .:. .:. .:.

LUMINAIRE

Okay Earth, if you haven't been fortunate enough to stumble across Luminaire yet this is your lucky day. Started watching this dude when he dropped his massive track 'No More' (featured here with the Lindsay leaks) about a month ago, which was honestly my favorite dancefloor banger back at the end of 2011, and he hasn't disapointed on a single release since. It is a great pleasure to share with you his 'No Use' EP, dropped yesterday with Yeah/Dish! Records (straight outta Paris) featuring two originals and three remixes. Usually I don't get excited about house/French touch, but this dude is in the fucking zone. The Head is gonna be a well known by the end of 2012, you heard it here first.

Yo Luminaire, Respect from the DEF SEC Family, keep doin' your thing .:. .:. .:.

SHOOK

Shook is a serious head who is making some very unique music. Sometimes he reminds me of a kind of dancier Starsmith but its not really fair to compare this dude to anyone because of how vast his range is. We've got a lot of respect for this guy, and if you don't already rank him amongst the top producers on your planet right now you probably will by the end of 2012. Liquid Joey and I are lovin' this feel good remix he did for Emil & Friends, released about a week ago:

And just incase you missed it, here is the massive EP he dropped 2 months ago, 'The Rise and Fall'. If you haven't heard this its a must, no matter what sub-genre of EDM you affiliate with, the brotha Shook's got you covered. Keep building those Pyramids Shook, you head .:.

LAPALUX When You're Gone EP FEB 7

I've been addicted to Lapalux for the last few months, no one does lush like him.  His tracks just have this next level depth to them - they really suck you in.  He's been belting out a stream incredible remixes lately, but on Feburary 7th we finally get to hear some new original Lapalux tracks.  Gutter Glitter - a teaser from his When You're Gone EP - is up on Soundcloud.  It blends glitched out textures, warped R&B, and heavily fuxed-with samples into pure pleasure.

INNER WORLDS Remixes Dani Deahl .:. New Emeron & Fox

A blissed out, faded, bass heavy bliss wave banger of a remix from INNER WORLDS for the Dani Deahl - Diplo Hates You remix competition.  Warped analog synths, lots of vocal work & a triumphant ending.  Give it some love, and don't forget to vote for the INNER WORLDS & Follow Me Theophilus London remixes in the ongoing Theophilus London - All Around The World remix comp, links below ::

This incredible track has been making its way around the blog circuit lately.  Crisp retro synth lines + some space-ass vocoder work.  French producer Monsieur Adi knows whats good.

More New Oliver

More New Oliver, this time a remix of Childish Gambino's Heartbeat, as always they killed it:

Childish Gambino - Heartbeat (Oliver Remix) by weareoliver

BL∆CK†CEILING - †EENWVFF

Big blogs have been all over witch house lately (about a year too late).  This album by BL∆CK†CEILING is one of my favorite pure witch house records right now - mutilated, dragged out radio pop vocal samples, dark electro, and reverb heavy drums - without the repetitiveness/overindulgence of other witch house artists.  definitely worth a download, available for free below.  Witch house might be a bit of a trend genre, but a lot of these sounds are here to stay, get up on it.

Mitch Murder

Yo for real if you like 80s inspired music and you don't already know about our boy Mitch Murder this is going to change your life. There are so many heads that make nu-italo or nu-80s music, but no one does it quite like mitch. His album 'Current Events' was a work of art, a masterpiece, and in this poetic response to a generation that believes it is possible only to imitate, mitch demonstrated the ability of an artist to truly capture the essence of a time past and give that which was once lost a new place amongst the heads of the future. Since the release, Mitch has dropped a few tracks that should in my opinion solidify his place amongst the best producers on Earth right now. No matter what Galaxy we are in, what dimension, or what time, Liquid Joey and I always have mitch's vibes pingin' around the ship. Here is a track he released just an hour ago, a remix of Lazerhawk, along with two originals he released about a month ago. Respect Mitch, you're one serious Head .:. .:. .:.

GOLDROOM .:. Viceroy

Goldroom is on point right now. Straight killing everything he gets his hands on in the remix game, and making some really unique sounding original tracks. This kid has the California Rock/Disco scene on lock down. Fucking head:

Goldroom - Angeles by Goldroom

DEF SEC Cousin Viceroy dropped the second part of his Jet Life Series today and it is a silky smooth remix of the homie Biggie Smalls. If it's that Cali Funk/House you are looking for, Vice is your man. Our boy killed this one so make sure you show him some love .:.

St. Lucia

So If you don't already know about New York City's St. Lucia this will be a serious introduction to an artist who is going to be blowing up this coming year. Not only does homeboy make some of the most respectable psychedelic electronica around, but he just got co-signed by Neon Gold and........Columbia Records. Yea, this dudes a head, and I honestly can't figure out why this remix he dropped last week isn't being covered by every single blog on your planet's internet. We were blown away when we stumbled across this one, keep this dude on the radar screen, we travalled into the future to listen to his upcoming release and believe me, it will not disappoint. For now treat yourself to this wonder:

PAPA: I Am The Lion King (St. Lucia Remix) by Hit City USA

FINAL DJS

Me and Liquid Joey are big fans of Basti & Thomas, better known as the Final DJs. They are one of the few acts that has successfully homogenized that 80's feel we all know and love with more modern funky bass lines and 90's house pianos to make for some really massive dance bangers. Their production is always impeccable, and if you aren't already familiar with these guys you'll have quite a few new tracks to head bob to this weekend. We expect big things from these heads in 2012, and today we give you their new JAM "One Day in the Sun" released just an hour ago, sounds like summer on this fucking freezing cold winter day, blast this:

Final DJs - One Day In The Sun by FINAL DJs

New Miike Snow

Today Miike Snow dropped his very trendy new track "Paddling Out" off his upcoming album 'Happy To You', which will be out in March. Basically it contains everything Tracasseur says is hip right now in the music world, some 90's house inspired structure (and house piano!) with an early deep disco feel in the bass and drum lines. The vocals are pretty catchy, and with well over 10,000 plays in the first 12 hours since it's been uploaded I figured it was well worth sharing. It will certainly be a crowd pleaser for many, and I'm sure it will be circulating through the blog circuit for the next couple of weeks, so maybe you'll be able to say you heard it here first.

Paddling Out by miikesnow

.:. Vanguard .:.

Vanguard is a seriously funky duo from the U.K., and, in my opinion, one of the only acts making any type of respectable sample based filter house/disco. The heads made a huge debut with their Oysters in the Half Shell EP last summer along with an array of really tight remixes and edits they released throughout the year. Haven't seen anything new from them in a couple months, until a few days ago when they dropped a very short new jam that left me wanting a lot more. Well, today they came through with another new remix, and both tracks are definitely worth a listen. Personally I think they have done better work in the past (We brought you their HUGE remix of The Scientists of Modern Music's Because if I Die a few months back) but I'm really down with the incorporation of the rap lyrics towards the end of this remix. The original has great vibes as well, though it is definitely a bit of a tease. 2012 Should be a promising year for these two, here are their first offerings, see what you think:

Vanguard - Calling U by VANGUARD

Hot Chelle Rae - I Like It Like That (Vanguard Remix) by VANGUARD

.:. OLIVER...Makin' Moves .:.

By now I'm sure you are familiar with Oliver, U-tern's project with fellow head Oliver Goldstein (Oligee). The two made quite a splash last year, propelling themselves to the forefront of the Nu-Disco/Future Italo movement at a ridiculous rate. If you are into that scene, keep this duo permanently fixed on your radar in 2012. Today they dropped their highly anticipated EP, Dirty Talk, with Kitsune Records:

Oliver - Dirty Talk by weareoliver

Be sure to check out the B-side single as well, "Walk With Me", Liquid Joey's Preference:

In the remix department, Black Van put together a pretty slick edit, not quite as dark or heavy as the original, goes down real smooth:

And if you are into their style, the Oliver boys also uploaded a synth heavy new mixtape to celebrate the release. It bangs, and definitely helps contextualize their vibes. But, as they said, it is "not for the faint of heart"

Bestrack Is Back

Well Earth, this was a big start to 2012 for you guys. First our brother Inner Worlds and cousin Viceroy won the Yelle Remix contest side by side, then you used your LHC to create the first time traveling Higgs particles, which (spoiler alert!) are ultimately going to catalyze some massive Cosmic Shifts later in the year .:. Have your third eyes ready.:. In accordance with this time-travelling business, Bestrack dropped this new BANGER that makes the inside of our spaceship sound like its 2008-9 again, even reminiscent of some of the early Russ Chimes jaunts. The Frenchmen are two of the most serious heads on your planet, they destroy everything they get their hands on in the remix game and their originals are equally impressive. These types of dudes are a rarity now a days, and I can think of few artists that are still making tunes on this level while still staying true to the sound they blew up with. It had been quite sometime since they dropped anything new, but here is one hot off the presses, another massive Bestrack edit, hopefully they will keep em comin' in 2012, cause Liquid Joey and I can't get enough of these vibes .:. .:. .:. DEF SEC to the fucking max:
