symbolone + dvas.


discodust favorites symbolone return with what is probably their best work ever, at least according to me. 'love juice' was awesome already but their remix of 'ambient room' by canada-based dvas is probably the best piece of 'french house' i have heard in a long time (and i always wonder if you'd really call it 'french house' when it doesn't even sound a lot like house but i guess that's what all we bloggers more or less agreed on).

they took the really lovely chords of the original, added some great c-64 style leads, a moroderesque bassline, put some more effects on the vocals and casted some of their trademark vintage magic and ended up with a true masterpiece! so if you have been a bit disappoined by the recent output of fred falke and lifelike, here come the leaders of the french house new school: symbolone.

dvas - ambient room (symbolone remix)

dvas also hooked us up with a few tracks that are definitely worth checking out as well as they have some really beautiful melodies and like i said earlier - really lovely chords in their tracks. the dance mix of 'watching you' is their latest work, 'forever' is a bit older and my favorite among their tracks and the original of 'ambient room' is up for grabs as well. keep an eye on dvas, they will be up there in no time, playing in front of drunk teens worldwide.

show dvas and symbolone some myspace love! read more!

jupiter.


discodust <3's jupiter. we both posted them after i happened to listen to them when they added me on myspace. lucky i did because i was a huge fan of their two little tracks. apparently so is the much buzzed about golden filter because they have jupiter in their top friends on myspace.

well, 'q' and 'a' didn't disappoint us with this track. oh its yummy dreamy synthy poppy nourishment for my ears. i might just start a jupiter fan club. listen to it. love it.

'c-h-i-p...that's all i want to be.'

warning: it may be 'stuck on repeat' for a while in your itunes!

roman salzger.


in my efforts to diversify the flavors of music that discodust readers are exposed to, i thought i'd throw in a little treat from fellow german house/club/techno producer, roman salzger. well, i'm not german, but discodust is.

this track is a bit atypical for the normal club fare that roman puts out. it's unreleased and so far i've only seen a snippet of it on his myspace player. its a bit slower and more mellow. it may not work in a club at peaktime, but it may be the perfect song to listen to in ibiza as you stumble out of pacha to the beach for a margarita.

so grab those sunglasses, take off your shoes, throw this song on and nurse your hangover. and although his myspace player says this song is 'never to be released probably', discodust has got it in 320 kbps for you - magic!

roman salzger - alpha centauri

little known fact is that roman salzger did a collaboration with lifelike... read more!

nina sky + rick ross.


in order to confuse you even more, here is a great track by nina sky featuring rick ross that i've had on heavy rotation lately. and of course, the fact that this song is dealing with one of my favorite things ever, helped to get it up here as well.

nina sky featuring rick ross - curtain call

thanks to the fader for putting this up (i took this in exchange for that one). shouts to my man russ chimes and all other disco heads who can appreciate slow jams.

and to everyone who's about to give me shit because this track 'does not belong here' in their humble opinion, it is about time to embrace change. read more!

venom + damage.


the all-star blogger mailing list grindin is a great place to learn about new music and hear about what's really hot right now and thanks to bok bok and casi from flamin' hotz i finally had a fair chance of catching up the whole bassline/4x4 movement which incorporates a lot of influences from garage, booty, rap and fidget and clocks in at about 140 bpm.

i have really been sleeping on it for too long and well, so have a lot of other people and almost the entire traditional 'music media' world but as far as i go, i'll definitely spend a fair time of my holidays on catching up on it and other genres (like dubstep) while i have been focusing a lot on bangers and retro disco material in the past months. not sure if any of that will end up on the blog but i just noticed my music research has been a bit limited lately and i am sure you'll agree when i say i mustn't lose my edge.

bok bok shared the amazing 'frenzy' mixtape by venom & damage with the grindin crew and it contains a lot of heavy bass music, mainly bassline but some fidget tracks that we're used to hear on the blogs as well. listen to 40 minutes of new sounds and constantly pumping bass, bass and more bass:

venom & damage - frenzy (mixtape)

tracklist after the jump. additionally and as a great start for your growing collection of bassline tunes, here is a track off 'frenzy', also made by venom & damage, looking for some love in the club:

venom & damage - love in the club (frenzy mix)

head over to lower end spasm, curb crawlers and electric zoo who were all over the bass a lot earlier than me. and a shout to all the heavy bass producers and labels out there: send us your tunes!

lovelock.


lovelock is steve from new york. and sometimes there's barbara helping steve out with vocals. but that's about all information we've got cause lovelock plans to keep things low profile for the moment. maybe that's what you wanna do when you put something on the market that might have been an after work bedroom classic back in the 80s. on the other hand 80s girls and bedrooms is what most of my peeps spend their time with. anyway.

lovelock - love reaction

enough theory! lovelock seems to be involved with valerie in some way, one of our favorite blogs/syndicates out there. he's exactly what the french west coasters are all about: porn, synths, energy. pure beauty. nothing more to say, but to strongly advise you to check out the two brilliant tunes.

lovelock - maybe tonight

further information can be found on lovelock's myspace. show that mysterious guy some good old 80s shoulder pad loving. big ups to loose shus for pointing us in the right direction. read more!

hostage.


yeah, it's discodust favorites day today! after felix cartal here are some brandnew tracks by hostage who is making a lot of progress recently, getting airplay with his track 'mash up the speaker' (we posted it a few weeks ago) from annie mac on 'the mash up' and zane lowe. about time he is blowing up!

first up in this post is hostage's most recent track 'hoot', one of the best tracks he has ever done according to - me! 'hoot' combines the best of the golden rave times - rave signals, stabs, broken beats and a great piano breakdown part with the best of today - heavy bass and punching drums! this is the way to go, i wish more people out there would include some old school references but maybe the youngsters just never heard about kicks like a mule and the entire kniteforce catalogue. here's your chance to learn what rave is all about, enjoy another discodust first:

hostage - hoot

just a week or two older than 'hoot' is 'sorry' which is driven by breakbeats and a real nasty bassline and once again it makes me wonder why the industry is still letting hostage release so many tracks straight to the blogs, as this is nothing but pure energy. enjoy it in full 320 kbps for the first time:

hostage - sorry

make hostage your friend on myspace and help him blow up even more. and knowing him as the production addict he is, you should come back here to find more from hostage real soon! read more!
