Sonale x Crash Party - Freddy Fresh Ate My Hamster
Big Beat Sundays: BBS007

Big Beat Sundays is back with their first track of the year and this one is a Big Beat Party starter from start to finish. “Freddy Fresh Ate My Hamster” sees the producers Sonale and Crash Party combine their talents to mould this Big Beat belter.
Big beats, horn stabs, Looped vocals, phat bass and cheeky synthesis - All the ingredients for any Big Beat era tune.
With a title such as “Freddy Fresh Ate My Hamster” it would be remiss for this release not to pay further homage to one of the god fathers of Big Beat, by asking the man himself, Freddy Fresh, to remix it. Freddy turns in a slower based bass thumping, latin twisted remix for the connoisseurs out there and we are chuffed to bits with it!
Funky breaks and sample wizard Lebrosk turns in a tasty cut ’n’ paste inspired remix, giving the tracks a lick of his own tasty production style. Finally, to round out the release, there is a Big Beat Sundays remix, tapping into a love of the likes of Mighty Dub Katz and Basement Jaxx to deliver a 4x4 pounder designed for the dance floor.

Get on this one before its all eaten up!

Timewarp inc is back with a sensational new hit single titled Sync or Swim, featuring the incredible vocals of Georges Perin. This catchy track tells a humorous tale of a human musician locked in a playful battle with a high-tech A.I machine capable of real-time music production. As they attempt to collaborate, the synchronization between them spirals into delightful chaos, creating an entertaining narrative that listeners will love. 

Musically, Sync or Swim offers an authentic, organic vibe that is both uplifting and infectious. The song masterfully blends contemporary funk, soul, and blues, all wrapped in a tapestry of slowed own house electronic beats. You'll be grooving to the live electric bass, vibrant electric guitar riffs, and a warm brass section featuring saxophone and trumpet. The combination of Rhodes e-piano and Hammond keys adds a rich layer to the sound, making this track a true testament to Timewarp inc's signature and unique production style. 

Written and produced by Timewarp inc
Vocals by Georges Perin
Bass written by Timewarp. Performed by Yannis Parzialis

Junodownload Review:
Greek legend Timewarp Inc teams up with fellow countryman Georges Perin, a Greek-French vocalist who's been working in the funk, soul and hip-hop arena since the mid-90s, and can count supporting James Brown and duetting with Ashley 'Freakpower' Slater among his achievements. Riding a rhythm that vaguely recalls Johnnie Taylor's classic 'Disco Lady' and served in simple vocal/instrumental flavas, 'Sync Or Swim' is a midpaced jam that, in true Timewarp style, blends funk, soul and reggae influences, and that'll get those heads noddin' and booties swayin' whether you're warming up a club dancefloor or keeping it mellow by the poolside.

Young Bootsy (mp3cut.net)

Taken from 'Moving On Remixed' one of four instrumental versions from the original LP. From the guitar-laced bounce of "I Been Good" to the horn-driven power of "Strut" or "Dance With Me", to the full-on funk of "Get Out The House", these stand tall as tracks in their own right—essential cuts for DJs and funk lovers alike.

Full Boogie Soundtrack

"Dancing Underground" off the new Ursula 1000 album Voyeur features electro swing master Mocean Worker and Fort Knox Recordings funkster QDUP on live bass and vocoder, channeling that classic era of French Touch filtered disco house madness with a updated feel and a hint of Chic and Zapp for good measure.
We have 2 rocking remixes courtesy of Montreal's Fonkynson adding his future disco house flavor and one by Ursula 1000's cosmic alter ego Quentin Quatro giving it that Kerri Chandler jack with added deep Summer vibes abound!
 
"Tropical Intention" keeps the poolside vibes alive in this Latin house floor filler.
Pontchtrain (Whiskey Disco, Lovedancing) kicks up the tribal ballistics in his deep tech house rework while Barcelona's P.A.Sound pitch it down ever so slightly in their dark and dubby disco flip!

PREMIERE: Andy Bach - Everybody (Lebedev (RU) Remix) [Lisztomania Records]

Silhouette's 99th release(!!) is from Oscar Avendaño aka Levantine, 
an electronic music artist, bass player, keyboardist & DJ from Mexico. 

Levantine has an impressive and diverse release catalog on labels such as Turbolenz Records, Chopshop and Discoweey. 

The Nebula Steam ep is a 4 track originals banger with dark and cosmic disco. Inspired by Levantine’s electronic heroes like: Jean Michel Jarre, Pet Shop Boys, early Depeche Mode and OMD.

Expect beefy, bass-driven beats and haunting melodies, Levantine takes us on a journey exploring the outer limits of the dark cosmos.

Levantine’s key production philosophy is playing and recording live as much as possible, “I like to keep the human touch on electronic music, it gives it that 'punk' feeling”. 

Keep an eye out for Levantine as he has interesting projects coming up with his ‘electronic rock'  band "Red Eyes & Tears" and hi own label Nüve Recordings.
