The always lovely Aaliyah makes another posthumous appearance on a stellar deep track, this time on the brilliant “If You Only Knew” by Oslo producer Finnebassen. The track was featured on the-hours-ago-released April 2012 Mix by Aeroplane (previous post) and was recently released via the fantastic label Electronique Digital. The label started out as a club in Manchester and has rapidly began its swift ascent to notoriety with its cool brand of noirish disco and distinctly dissident (as the label describes it) deep house sound.
Lauer – Trainmann (Tensnake Remixes)
Phillip Lauer’s Phillips may not be out yet, but Hamburg’s Tensnake has already taken the reins on a pair of remixesfor one of the LP’s tracks. And with them he does what he does best—knocks out a pair of killer disco-house tunes with a tight bass, hot vocal samples, a little cowbell, and a whole lot of groove.
CRAZE & CODES – DEEPER (MUSIC VIDEO)
The good people over at Scion AV are releasing a series of music videos this week, and we have the exclusive debut of our homies Craze & Codes new tune “Deeper.” Don’t make any assumptions, this track brings out a deep, groovy vibe contrary to popular Slow Roast… the official statement:
A widescreen slab of delicious nü disco from Slow Roast Records homies Codes and Craze gets an equally epic treatment in this new video. On a labyrinthine mission to recover top secret devices, a sultry chick gets in a serious predicament. Look out!
Lt Wee – Don’t Let the Beat Stop (Coucheron Remix)
After hearing his latest remix of Lt Wee’s “Don’t Let the Beat Stop” we are flat out telling you, this kid is going to blow up. The bass line here is impossibly funky and delightfully smooth, making this one of the most danceable tracks we have heard in recent memory. With its classic disco house feel and 8 bit groove we can’t help but agree with Lt Wee – we don’t want this beat to stop.
Dexter Kane – Speak & Spell (Climbers Remix)
If you’re ever in the mood to completely rip a dancefloor a new one, Climbers‘ latest remix of Dexter Kane‘s “Speak & Spell,” from Lower East, will do the trick. Retro-drenched 303 bounce combines with Parisian future-disco-chic to set up this south-of-the-border-based duo for big things in 2012.
Mr. Jigga – Won’t You Be Mine [GLOVES Remix]
Our boy GLOVES is back at it with a brand new remix for fellow Australians, Mr. Jigga. This is a much edgier GLOVES sound than we are accustomed to featuring some grimey synth play and beautifully ominous vocals (courtesy of HeLovesHer). It’s a sleazy, big room, festival disco sound right in time for this season’s biggest parties.
Alpine – Hands [Goldroom Remix]
Our good pal Josh Legg, aka Goldroom, continues to raise the bar with another fantastic remix. Goldroom, as well as the equally phenomenal Perseus, have zeroed in on the moodier side of tropical disco and have added a much sexier, dreamier vibe to the genre. Goldroom’s latest remix of Aussie band ALPINE is six minutes of pure bliss. Those moments in life when you first meet someone new and share a couple of glances and a cocktail or two…this is the soundtrack to that scene.
U-Tern – Da Da Daa Daa
U-Tern (1/2 of the disco duo Oliver) is more known for his disco/house beat making prowess, but late in the wee hours of last night he uploaded this little diddy onto his soundcloud, letting his fans know “Yes, I make other types of music besides disco/house…”. It’s a combination of hip/hop and trap with some dubstep that kicks in around the 2:08 mark. It’s surprisingly good and would go well with some A-List rap vocals on top. Always good to know that producers so well known for certain types of music are still willing to experiment.

Adele vs. Daft Punk – Something About The Fire (Carlos Serrano Mix)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4nVJ4WhYVWA
A lot of people talk about the push from analog to “computer music” aka our beloved digitally created music. I’ve never seen the point in complaining, and have always respected people who mix some old in with the new. Carlos Serrano did just what I’m talking about. Although Adele is not by any means an “old” singer in the sense of the word, she does possess every bit of soul and originality that you would hear from an artist of the 50′s or 60′s. By overlaying the full vocals of Adele overtop the electronic and liquid beat of Daft Punk, you get a really funky and soulful disco track that is truly a masterpiece.
G. Vump – Feeling (Orginal Mix)
Gucci Vump, G.Vump, Gxxi Vump – regardless of whatever name you choose to call them by, one thing is for certain, the collaboration between Brodinski and Guillaume from The Shoes is heaven sent. Released on the 12th on their Bromance label, “Feeling” is a disco-house track with sinewy vocals and a gloomy synth.
