Doctor Dru - Foolish


I have previously posted "2 Know U" from Hamburg-based DJ/producer Doctor Dru. Now it is time for the B-side of his new two-track record for Exploited. Doctor Dru has just unveiled the video for "Foolish," with featuring a nude model drenched in gold paint, contrasts from the more subtle sultriness of the music itself, but despite this contrast, the colorful, glittering visuals make for a fitting representation of Doctor Dru's late-night vibes.

Nick Curly Underground (Incl. Dennis Ferrer Remix)

"Underground" is the lead single from Nick Curly’s debut album "Between The Lines" released on Defected Records. The album is a deeply personal account that sees Curly shift focus from the more club-ready tracks with which he made his name, to slower, more emotive grooves and musical expressions. In its original form, "Underground" is a deep, techy journey through a smoke-filled basement, pulsing softly with hushed lights and dubby chords. The main refrain bubbles sultrily through the record’s core while the occasional vocal fills the heady spaces between the sparse, clattering beats.
Dennis Ferrer isn’t known as a prolific remixer, but when he does turn his hand to something you can be sure that the result will be worth the wait. His remix of "Underground" has been hammered at Pacha and across Ibiza all summer long, and for good reason. Developing the chords of the original beautifully and adding a devastatingly infectious organ lead-line, Ferrer builds and builds before unleashing huge, pounding keys for a truly breathless finale.


Delano Smith - Midnight Hours (Reconstructed by Carl Craig)


Berlin based imprint Sushitech will revisit An Odyssey, the debut album from label regular Delano Smith, with a modern Detroit floor damage remix from Detroit royalty Carl Craig. He brings one of the skippiest, housiest grooves he has laid down in some time for "Midnight Hours"

Mario Basanov - Say What Ya Want

Mario Basanov comes from a different angle to most dance music producers. He’s one of a handful from Lithuania to make waves globally and has over a decade of experience despite still being in his twenties.
In Basanov’s 16 track "Journey" he exposes new and exclusive records featuring the vocalists that brought him to the limelight, such as Jazzu taking root in the elegant atmospheres of ‘Under Your Feet’ and Stee Downes who features on the more buoyant "Say What You Want", shooting punches through the vocal lines and spinning magic within its synth basslines. "Say What Ya Want" is one of the best tracks from the album, and this one has not been published before..

Deep Future - You Need It (Detroit Swindle's 'Never Enough' Interpretation)

Finnebassen and Gundelach - Footsteps EP


The mighty Finnebassen drops his next release on 5th December via Supernature. It’s a 4 track release, two originals. The lead track which is getting a lot of attention at the moment.

"Footsteps" is an altogether different beast. The melancholic core is coupled with jazzy overtones and slow ravishing drums. This track wasn't planned for a release but the boys were so enamored with it, they couldn't let it let go. The radio edit is set to rock stations across the globe.

Adriatique (Diynamic) brings the track to dance floor heights with their smart interpretation of "Footsteps". You are immediately immersed into the track by the strong wavelike kicks. This remix may cause paralysis of the mind so use extreme caution while operating heavy machinery ... alcohol may intensify this effect!

"You Will Never Sleep" shows Finn's trademark knack for strong vocals and catchy melodies once again!

A strong remix of "You Will Never Sleep" is backed up by the superlative Jay Shepeard (Retrofit). Surely this is the reason we are loosing sleep; bouncy cascading melodies make you hover over reality. Another unexpected turn for Supernature! Prepare to be waterboarded by epic beats because this four tracker just won't quit.

Tale Of Us feat. The/Das - Fresh Water


Tale Of Us & The/Das – Fresh Water EP, established members of the Life and Death crew join forces with a few new recruits to create an emotional journey across a beautiful new landscape of future music.
With the "Fresh Water EP", Life and Death once again bring together a combination of unique musical voices that stretch beyond traditional genres to stake out new territories in contemporary dance music.
Coming out of the gate like a horse on fire, the title track sees Italian duo, Tale Of Us, return to the Life and Death mothership with a new original piece featuring Berlin duo, The/Das. It's a haunting dancefloor monster that won't leave your mind (or body) quickly, even once the music stops. With its throbbing bassline, ethereal synths and that voice that beckons, cooly but urgently, Fresh Water hits its emotional nerve with razor-like precision.
