Nouveaux titres pour vous

Guy Gerber @ RUMORS in the "Cenote" - BPM FESTIVAL 2015

Big fan of Hall & Oates.
Recently came across the masters for this classic and thought I'd remix it. Here's the finished track. Hope you enjoy.
LNTG :-)

Go 4 That [LNTG Remix]

I am a huge fan of Loose Ends. 
One of the very best Soul/Funk/RnB groups to come out of the UK.
I love many of their releases... 'Hangin' On A String', 'Slow Down', 'Nights Of Pleasure', and in particular, 'Gonna Make You Mine'.
Here is my edit of the track.
Enjoy.

Hot Since 82 @ Joris Voorn & Friends 17 - 10 - 2015

About 6 months ago, just before I set off on my 5 month tour of Europe I got a message from a good friend of mine asking me if I would edit a track that he loves. 
I said of course, and asked him what track. 
Turns out its a big favourite of mine also.
'Why Can't We Live Together' by Timmy Thomas is an amazing song with a strong message that is even more relevant today than it was back in 1972.
The message is clear, it's simple, it's beautiful.
I'm saddened by recent events around the world and I've always tried to spread love through music, because for me, music is love.
I hope you share the message and enjoy.
LNTG <3

Live Together [LNTG No More War Rework]

The mighty Pete Herbert works his magic once again on a Ron Trent meets 80's Boogie vibe, delivering a forward thinking remix of the future classic "The Boogie Is Back" originally produced by Juan Laya & Jorge Montiel featuring the London based Soul singer Mikie Blak.

The Boogie Is Back - Pete Herbert Remixes (Juan Laya & Jorge Montiel Feat. Mikie Blak)

Bring The Funk Back - Nicolas Haelg Remix

We are going to Switzerland (by way of Argentina) for our next podcast to welcome techno artist Barem into the Balance Selections family. Best known for his releases on Richie Hawtin’s M_nus label, the producer has really made a name for himself with his warm, stripped back techno and house productions, a style which he feels encapsulates a feeling more so than an actual genre: “Minimal is not really a sound… it’s just a way of making music. It represents good taste, stylish sounds, the underground, after hours… Whatever native roots you have, whatever music you like or liked in the past, it all fits in there and it’s not dying in my opinion. It’s just arrived at the point where we’ve rediscovered how free and amazing the concept and the reasons behind it are.’’

But as with all good artists, career growth and change is essential to the soul, and last year the producer announced his departure from the M_nus crew to pursue new projects. And he did just that with  the announcement of FUN Recordings, a new label co-founded by Barem which is already 2 releases deep with tracks from Barem, and fellow Argentinean producer and label co-founder, Alex Cabrera.

Having played at some of the biggest global events cites including Detroit Music Festival, Timewarp, Miami, Ibiza and ADE, there really is no doubt that Barem is considered a major player in the global scene – and the Argentinean has delivered a suitably quality mix which should keep listeners coming back for more.

Hot Creations are launching a new ‘Paradise on Earth’ DJ Mix series with the first instalment coming as a Mexico special from Paradise residents and label regulars Nathan Barato and Patrick Topping. Each mix is expertly crafted, fusing musical influences with exclusive new material alongside current favourites for your listening pleasure. 
 
The first CD comes from Toronto-based DJ & producer Nathan Barato, an artist that has been on the rapid rise with releases on Cajual, MOOD, Relief, Saved, Circus Records, Defected and of course Hot Creations. Barato’s mix kickstarts with the sonorous opening of Derrick Carter’s ‘Where You at?’ soon venturing into big dancefloor movers like Moritz Piske ‘Dirt Cabana’ and Makam’s ‘Loletta’. Nathan explains, "This is the first compilation I've done, so I was nervous and excited when building the tracklist. I wasn't inclined to make a mix that was only bombs ...I wanted to express myself and show a different side of my sound.” 
 
UK talent Patrick Topping has cemented his status as one of the most in demand names in dance music and this year completing his third summer as resident at DC10 in Ibiza for Paradise. Here Patrick showcases the sound and style of his sets with hi-energy from the word go. “This was my first time putting together a licensed mix and it was such a fun project. Most the tracks are older but I was also luckily enough to include some of my favourite unreleased tracks of the moment. Thanks to Oli Furness, Jack N Jerk, Sean Miller & Elliot Adamson for letting me use these. There are also 3 brand new productions of mine in here.” - Patrick Topping
 
Since label head and visionary Jamie Jones began his Paradise night at DC10 in Ibiza five years ago, the night has gone on to be by far one of the biggest on the island, inviting the biggest names in the business to come play alongside his solid crew of talented friends and residents. The launch of the new mix series is a natural progression for the brand as the Hot Creations and Paradise empire continues to grow only stronger.

ALOK - SUMMER MIX '17 [ FREE DOWNLOAD ]

The glass beaker sat upon the worktop, it's murky green contents shimmered within. This was the elixir of love and a potion of life. It was to be used sparingly as it was worth more than all of his worldly possessions combined. It had cost him his soul to purchase but now that it sat amidst the dull white room he felt scared. As he gazed out through the glass window he looked peacefully upon the autumn leaves as they fell golden to the concrete below. Up high in the tower nobody knew that what he was about to drink from would make him a new man. 

Banlieue Records return at the beginning of the new year with a statement of intent. Their new split EP features a number of prominent artists including Nummer, Benoit B, D'Marc Cantu and more.

Banlieue Records 06

PREMIERE: D'Marc Cantu - Potion Of Life [Banlieue Records]

The sun beamed down upon the radiant black concrete. The sound of an engine roared loudly in the wind as the convertible cruised along the M1. It was summer time and the beach was calling out to the gang. Music bellowed from the open top cabin and the breeze blew coarsely in her golden hair. She kept her eyes firmly fixed on the road whilst the whoops and cries of her passengers echoed in her ears. She could not find the feeling and she was not the same. This was not summer, not for her. 

Jad & The has amassed a reputation amongst lo-fi house heads and edit merchants alike. The new year sees him return with a new EP for Centre Source Records which will be his first with the Brisbane based label.

@jad-lee @centre-source-records

PREMIERE: Jad & The - Convertible On The M1 [Centre Source]

The jitter from the machine bounced around the room. It sent electric waves spinning between the cracked walls and cast a warmth throughout the dirty, dank basement. The people in the room did not care, they simply enjoyed the relentless sound of my bleep as it echoed eerily down the tunnel. The brick wall rocked abruptly as it shuddered under the weight of the noise. Water dripped from the ceiling up above and there was little air left amidst the space. Yet they continued to dance...

Efde is set to release a new EP on Voyage Direct, it will be the 26th edition to appear on the record label. The release follows on from his previous EP's which have appeared on Nordik Netrecords and Soweso. This time he digs deep as he explores the dramatic edges of techno whilst adding a lush musical edge.

My Bleep

PREMIERE: Efde - My Bleep [Voyage Direct]

The members of the household had gathered to watch the decline of the empire. As the humble leader spoke to the members of the cult on the ground below they watched as the tears poured down his face. This was not a moment of sadness but a time of joy, for in death he had completed his purpose on earth. A slow menage, a beautiful mind, a message which would last forever across the width of time. The cult would be theirs very soon. 

Marion Poncet steps up with a jacking house focussed EP with rugged samples and a hint of that old school French touch we lost decades ago. This release comes accompanied with a remix from Borrowed Identity.

PREMIERE: Marion Poncet - Slow Menage [In The Box Records]

The waves rolled slowly across the bay. The tiny wooden boat drifted delicately above the water, the sail rocking back and forth in the breeze. The bang of metal on wood rattled every few seconds as the material flapped up above their heads. They had always dreamt of becoming pirates when they were little, this was the outcome. It was not to be quite as they had imagined but out at sea the pair found themselves at peace. All aboard the good ship Puntarenas...

Till Von Sein returns with a four track EP for Suol. Focussing on deep house he leads us through an array of emotive groovers and sun kissed sounds built for warmer days.

Forever EP

PREMIERE: Till Von Sein - Puntarenas [Suol]

David Bowie's Space Oddity (de la Marne tribute)

fingers inc.

The sun soared high in the galaxy up above planet earth. The life amidst the universe was vast and illuminated like a fluorescent bulb. All that glows burns brightly in the depths of space. Clouds moved across the sky as he lay in the long grass looking upwards. He rolled over, grounded his perceptions and brought himself back down to earth. He could remember very little of what he had just seen but he knew that it had been beautiful. At least in the moment it had seemed real. That was all that mattered. 

KDMS are an exciting new prospect amidst London's burgeoning pop club crossover scene. Their new album sees them dabble in the experimental side of modern day dance music and could certainly be said to have an orientation towards the charts. Peter Herbert steps up to remix.

PREMIERE: KDMS - All That Glows (Peter Herbert Dub)[U Know Me]

Stereoclip’s debut release on Hungry Music “Airplane Lesson” is a gentle yet gloomy techno anthem. The Belgian producer delivers an elegant, hypnotic track, playing with its equilibrium like a gifted conjurer. 

It kicks off on a thoroughly transcendental note, with layers of arpeggiated sounds and distorted leads resembling a masterly crafted piece of modern art. As soon as the sleek hi-hats and melodic elements start merging with Stereoclips’ warm low frequencies, the track’s attraction becomes hard to contradict.
