The White Lamp - Ride With You

Now here is a combination I like! Darren Emerson (who was formerly a member of Underworld) and vocalist Peter Josef team up as The White Lamp and release their latest on Scuba's Hotflush label. "Ride With You" is a pretty tame track, but the release gets remixed by Emerson, Mike Dehnert, and the ever elusive ItaloJohnson, and their remix is by far my fav:

Dusky - 9T8

Speaking of house heads gone techno (see post below), Dusky's latest is coming out of School Records, and is entitled 9T8 (twas a good year, fyi). Goodbye deep house trend, HELLO TECHNO!

Aden - Whip (Jimmy Edgar Remix)

Interesting stuff coming out of Jimmy Edgar's Ultramajic camp these days. Miami's Danny Daze went all techno and recently released off the label, and now Berlin's Aden brings this tech gem to the forefront. The remix by Mr. Edgar delivers a fresh take on the track too!

Hard Rock Sofa vs. Eva Shaw - Get Down

The Russian mafia duo team up with model/DJ Eva Shaw (a.k.a. DJ Bambi-ugh, what a name :/) for Spinnin' Records release "Get Down." On first listen, you think that maybe this is a departure from the big room, EDM sound, and a hint of old school house shines through...but make no mistake this is the big room anthem the producers intended it to be. Its not bad, but I think that it could actually be remixed and stripped of the screeching and actually sound pretty phat.
I still think that Hard Rock Sofa (or was it Swanky Tunes) could be SHM's successors...

Thomas Schumacher - Hush (Catz 'n' Dogz Remix)

Happy New Year! Wow, its been too long since I've written a post! But in my defence, I have fallen way behind in keeping up with new music since moving to NYC from MTL and working in my field. So busy!
I guess my New Year's resolution is to try to blog more, so I can keep up with my music passion!
I heard this recently, though I believe it came out sometime in early December (but surfaced in November). Its so good! I like it cause it isn't some 90s sample of R&B which is becoming such a mundane trend, yet it still catches that 90s old school vibe:
