Smash TV - Steroids To Heaven Made For Eachother (Smash TV Backdoor Dub)

Smash TV aka Holger Zilske and Kai Preussner give us a Dub version of their summer success. Adding a darker atmosphere and toe tap-inducing groove. The percussion is kept light, as everything else sinks in deep. The vocal sounds like a siren and then pulled back into the kick. A mix made for the heavy, early morning sessions the boys are known for.

Tomas Barfod - Till We Die EP

Since the late 90's Tomas Barfod has been on the lips of the techno, house and club scene. As a man of many talents, he has earned the respect of artists, labels and fans alike. His latest album, 'Salton Sea' (released via Friends Of Friends) featured 'Till We Die feat. Nina Kinert', we sent it out to our friends and got some amazing remixes back! Nina's vocals haunt like ghosts in a machine, wrapped up with great bass lines and quirky percussion. Arps set an atmosphere of airy mist, while the beat picks up and moves us. This is the original mix, as heard on 'Salton Sea'. LOPAZZ and Forever Jung (aka Philipp Jung of M.A.N.D.Y.) work together to bring you their vision of 'Till We Die'. The percussion relies on a hefty kick pumping the track along, while a dirty bassline bumbles through the set of bells and woodblocks. An innovative approach to an already stellar track. We've got more from the fair-haired duo Blond:ish for you. Keeping true to their reputation for deep basslines and heavy atmospheres, the girls deliver excellence. Playing with the sounds, the girls create a cool burner that will set the dancefloor on fire. Andycap takes the cold atmosphere of the original and strips it down to the bones to open his remix, then laying the groove on thick as he drops the beat. This is your afterhour, home-listening or midset chilled killer; a perfect conclusion to this amazing release.

Blond:ish feat. Thomas Gandey - Voyeur

Blond:ish are Anstascia D'Elene and Vivie-Ann Bakos, together they make a great mixture of groovy bass and contagious vibes. Making their first Get Physical appearance on Full Body Workout Vol. 9, it was clear they had what it takes to make dancefloors move. Now we bring you their latest effort 'Strange Attractions', a two track EP featuring Thomas Gandey.
"Voyeur" showcases the groovy bass the girls are capable of, as we mentioned above. They pair this up with a coherent, nonchalant vocal line from Thomas and classic Tech House percussion. A great blend with a deep feeling and laid-back attitude the girls effortlessly radiate.
Mr. Gandey makes another appearance in 'Distant Lover'; another great representation of the duos overall style and feeling for mysterious ambiance. Again, deep bass lines and chilled vocals, this time mixed with a chilling guitar riff. This is just the beginning on Blond:ish, but if they keep producing at this level, we'll be hearing much more of them very soon. Keep an eye out for them, and don't say we didn't warn you.

Climbers - Equal Responsibility

Climbers are Jay Blakk and Kiko Deal, and these guys know exactly what they are doing. This EP, 'Equal Responsibility' proves that. The title track carries a hugely effective 80's synth feel to it, but without the danger of being cheesy. A feel-good vocal line moves the soul as the bassline shakes your body. This is a summer track, perfect for every open air and festival to come. MAM (Miguel Campbell and Matt Hughes) remix 'Equal Responsibility' and adds emphasis on the bassline while upping the percussion to a club level. He takes it a couple shades darker and adds ingenious synthwork into the mix. The 80's feel is not gone though, just darkened. We love it, and we think you will too. 'Hypnotic Vision' is another synth heavy track, taking us on a journey through sound. This one is a bit more tricky, as it's not so straightforward in it's progression, in other words, not so predictable. That's exactly why we like it. But don't write this off as a B-side track just yet; when the beat drops you know what is up. The vibe is amazing. Well worth the wait and well worth another listen.
