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

Monsieur Adi - Requiem

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

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:

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:

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.

.:. 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:

.:. 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:
