Grand Corporation feat. Jeremy Glenn - Wonder & Amazement

The Classic Music Company is a label headed by House greats Luke Solomon and Derrick Carter. (Side note: Solomon joked on Twitter how everyone was confusing him with Germany's Solomun, and therefore changed his name on Twitter to "Luke" Haha!). Steve Kotey and Andy Meechum, who are ex-members of Chicken Lips, make up Grand Corporation, and offer their track "Wonder & Amazement" in collaboration with Jeremy Glenn. Now I'm not sure if this is the right Glenn, but if it is, then this guy hails from Toronto (Canada what what!) and functions as both a producers and vocalist. Thems some smooth vocals on this track. The release comes with a variety of remixes, and of course, the Deetron remix is my favourite. Check it all out here:

John Dahlback - Get Wild

Trying to think back to the first John Dahlback track I ever heard, Dirty South's remix of Pyramid comes to mind. I wish it was something that dated back earlier cause Sweden's Dahlback has been producing for many years and is among the elite group of Swedish House producers. His latest is forthcoming on Laidback Luke's Mixmash Records and is called "Get Wild." Its got those typical electro "screeching synths" but doesn't include the monotonous kitschy sounds that a lot of producers are mass producing these days. This is what sets Dahlback apart.

Dahlback has also recently partnered up with Greg Cerrone for "Every Breath" which features the vocals of Janice Robinson. American producer Lucky Date tends to the remix making it pretty EDM friendly.

GTA - Booty Bounce/Shake Dem

WARNING: NSFW!
I really thought the new booty bass trend was a West Coast phenomenon, but the Miami duo GTA are repping the sound with their latest "Booty Bounce." Matthew Van Toth (goes by Van Toth) and Julio Mejia (JWLS) will be releasing the 2 track EP through Diplo's label Mad Decent. Jeffrees is a part of the label dedicated to giving free music to fans and showcasing new and upcoming artists. Look out for the tracks which will be available for free download on Volume 6. http://soundcloud.com/maddecent

Guy Gerber feat. Clarian - The Golden Sun and the Silver Moon

Montreal's Clarian North http://jackhadagroove.blogspot.ca/2012/09/f-o-o-t-p-r-i-n-t-z-fear-of-numbers.html has teamed up with Israeli producer (and known friend to P. Diddy haha!) Guy Gerber for "The Golden Sun and the Silver Moon." North is part of the collective F o o t p r i n t z, a Visionquest staple. The track was apparently creating a lot of buzz at the recent Amsterdam Dance Event, and sounds like something that would be Sasha approved (more Airdrawndagger, less Northern Exposure).
I heard about the track via Beat My Day, so got to give credit where credit is due: http://www.beatmyday.com/2012/10/25/guy-gerber-the-golden-sun-and-the-silver-moon-gg-clarian-edit/#axzz2ASiDRpF0

Daphni - JIAOLONG

Talk about Canadian love! Dan Snaith hails from London, Ontario, Canada. He has gone by Manitoba (a Canadian province), Caribou (lets face it, there are tons in the great white north!) and now Daphni (ok, this one has nothing to do with Canada I think). His latest jaunt takes him deeper into clubland. This by no means resembles EDM but it is a bit of a departure from his more smooth, melodic tracks. Listen & enjoy!
Fun fact: according to his wiki, Snaith has a PhD in math! Wowsa!

Maxxi Soundsystem - Stella's Way

Sam Watts aka Maxxi Soundsystem is churning out the tunes! His latest is Stella's Way, and is featured on Maceo Plex's label Ellum. The release features remixes by Shall Ocin and Huxley. On top of this great release, Maxxi Soundsystem also has a new one on Hypercolour, which features a remix from Matthew Herbert. The track is called Regrets We Have No Use For:

Julio Bashmore - Husk

Julio Bashmore http://jackhadagroove.blogspot.ca/2012/05/julio-bashmore-au-seve.html shows no signs of slowing down. His latest track from his label, Broadwalk Records, is called Husk. It sounds like a real 90s House throwback but not in a cheap, regurgitated way like many records these days. Its fresh, and sleek, and really just simply awesome. Its no wonder he was picked up by BBC Radio as a guest host. He is one talented bloke!

Update 03/12/2012: Here is the video for Husk, which is exceedingly strange.
And here is the B-side to Husk, entitled Pelican

Aeroplane feat Jamie Principle - In Her Eyes

Vito DeLuca aka Aeroplane has a new track off his newly minted label AeroPop Music. The track features the vocals of House legend Jamie Principle. If you don't know "Your Love" you really do need a House music history lesson.
Despite the old school touch, Aeroplane enlists new school players to tend to the remixes. My favorite comes from Tiger & Woods. Chopstick & JohnJon and Louis LaRoche round off the list.

George FitzGerald - Needs You

Aha! I found it! Well, a remix of it for now. Its the new George FitzGerald release on Hypercolour! If my research serves me correctly, the new EP will be called Needs You and will include the title track and "Every Inch".
Check out this excellent Deetron remix of Every Inch:

Here are the tracks to the EP:

Jack Dixon - E

Scuba's label Hotflush is quite busy releasing these days. One of their latest comes from the main man himself http://jackhadagroove.blogspot.ca/2012/10/scuba-talk-torque.html, but this post is about the new one from Jack Dixon. The London producer gives us "E", a minimal piece of techno goodness. "Find Shelter" rounds up the B side.
