mirror people + the dark esquire.

you know that we're big fans of desire over here. and hopefully you have also read our post on the dark esquire from two weeks ago. now the latter has joined forces with mirror people (which is the new alias of producer rui maia) to record a sweet cover version of 'mirror mirror' by desire.

french fries.

we told you before that french fries is one of the uprising producers to watch out for and now he is finally dropping his first ep 'arma' on youngunz. armed with two originals, 'predador' and 'senta' and reworks by remixers of the moment beataucue and bok bok as well as tomb crew, this will be a big record in the clubs for sure and has been a secret weapon of many leading tastemakers for quite a while!

we were hooked up with an unreleased track by french fries called 'saurus rhythm' which should spark your interest and show you what he is all about: big drums, world music flavour and booming bass! definitely one of my favorite producers in the whole 'post-banger' game.

french fries - saurus rhythm

the release should be dropping on beatport today, monday, january 25th and a week later on all other digital download platforms. watch out and show french fries and youngunz some love! read more!

barretso.

i admit that we have been a bit lazy recently when it comes to unearthing new talent in the french house sector. but we'll make up for this tonight with our latest find! barretso is an upcoming producer from chile who just finished his first original material and is already signed to tuff em up, the new label by the australian trashbags crew who are well-known for throwing some of the best parties down under.

we've got two original tracks by barretso for you today and those are proof enough that we're dealing with some big talent here. reminiscent of our beloved russ chimes in a few ways, he layers multiple melody lines known from dreamy french house on top of driving drums and fast-paced basslines, has great sound design skills and even goes a step further by adding his own vocals. the beautiful 'midnight walk' has been posted by some of our friends already but the real winner 'bright city lights' (along with the remix by kolt13) is all new, unheard and yet another discodust premiere!

barretso - bright city lights

his debut ep is coming soon on tuff em up who just secured a distribution deal and partnership with a major label, so watch out for big things to come! show barretso some love on myspace while we're waiting for more! read more!

ellie goulding + russ chimes.

sometimes combinations happen that seem like they are straight out of my daydreams. and that's exactly the case for this new ellie goulding remix by russ chimes, for the wonderful 'starry eyed'. he applies his trademark sound and adds some really big uplifting piano chords this time, definitely making this one of the biggest tracks given to blogs this year. enjoy another masterpiece as a premiere on discodust!

so shifty.

while i am not really known to be a fan of dancehall and reggae vibes, hamburg-based so shifty are definitely among the most exciting producers in germany to me right now these days. already honoured with the sign of approval by our friends from mad decent and discobelle, these guys are causing quite some buzz right now! combining influences from dancehall and soca with current electro house and uk funky sounds, so shifty is giving me some hope that germany didn't completely lose connection to the rest of the music world. big ups!

here's the title track from their debut release 'wine touch clap' on crossfaded bacon (the label run by emynd) and their most recent remix for tinashé.

so shifty - wine
tinashé - mayday (so shifty remix)

jan turkenburg + pilooski.

french label sister phunk (known for their spot-on sisters compilation from last summer) have a very special release coming up. 'in my spaceship' is a song composed by dutch music teacher jan turkenburg and recorded with the kids of his class. the result is a very special and unique song that sounds like it has been long lost in the crates of dedicated italo disco or new wave collectors, especially with the remix by french editor in chief pilooski. released on a picture disc vinyl and coming with a remix from breakbot as well, this record is a true gem!

jan turkenburg - in my spaceship (pilooski remix)

danger.

french producer franck rivoire, better known as danger is one of the most remarkable talents who emerged from the huge buzz around new french electronic acts following the immense success of justice and ed banger records. danger was part of the 'second wave' of artists breaking through and while he utilizes similar methods such as lots of distortion and big drops and breakdowns, his sound is heavily influenced and reminiscent of video games as well as movie soundtracks and he's definitely in a league of his own.

ekleroshock is about to release the new danger ep called '09/17 2007', out on vinyl on january 25th and digitally on february 1st, featuring three great all new originals and remixes by riot kid and oliver $. we're more than glad to have the official authorized premiere of the first track '4h30', in full length and high quality. enjoy!

love concept.

we first posted about love concept from chicago in march last year. by that time, no one ever thought their kind of sound would later be punished with the tag 'glo-fi' and become one of the most interesting developments of the year. now the early adopters regularly hanging with gatekeeper, mahjongg and salem are back around with a new jam called 'quarter century boy' and a remastered version of 'time enough for love'. enjoy!

'to do this with style', they say, they 'went to finland to find a trio that we knew would give us the sound of the new decade'. and they were successful by finding techno retirees mvsevm striking back with a dose of cheesy keys & firm beats to make everything fresh again. the remix line-up is coming across like a who is who of contemporary hype including style of eye and edu k. the gem we have for you is pure fun stuffed into a track by electro house veterans dada life.
