jakwob + ellie goulding.

maybe some of you were wondering who jakwob is when they saw his remix of 'starry eyed' by ellie goulding way up high on the grindin may charts. actually i don't really know either but at least i know that he is uk-based, seems to be really productive and already had his tracks played on the radio shows that matter, meaning he got plays by annie mac and jaymo & andy george.

time for you to get to know him better now, as his 'starry eyed' remix is finally good to go and just like our friends over at neon gold are pointing out, this should definitely be the next big dubstep-flavoured hit after skream versus la roux, nero versus the streets and caspa versus deadmau5. and if you are missing an actual description of the track, just one word: fierce!

ellie goulding - starry eyed (jakwob remix)

show jakwob and ellie goulding some myspace love. shouts to neon gold for making this happen and if you missed our previous post on ellie goulding, you can find it right here. read more!

bag raiders remixed.

gotta love releases that kinda come out of nowhere, when you expect them the least. but that's what happens when superb labels prefer quality over quantity. indeed there's not too much coming out on banggang 12inches, but everything they put out is just great and it's not any different this time! what we get is a supercharged package of 'turbo love' remixes, the a-side of the last ep by bag raiders, who have just returned from their middle american bowling alley dj tour.

following knightlife, we have yet another 'come back' by one of our favourite aussie producers: whitenoise. i have been dying to hear some new tunes with all his noise and massive build-ups. that in addition to one of the best bag raiders tracks? you can do the math...

bag raiders - turbo love (whitenoise remix)

one of the other remixes in this powercharged turbo pack is done by a producer duo from australia named light year. we really hope to hear more from them in the future as they have successfully squeezed some cut up italo flavour into 'turbo love' awarding it a pleasant smooth party vibe.

bag raiders - turbo love (light year remix)

and before anyone is asking "but where are the 'shooting stars' remixes?", we can assure you there's gonna be another remix ep dedicated to that lovely bag raiders b-side too. in the meantime you should enjoy these tracks and also check the other 'turbo love' remixes by shinichi osawa, k.i.m, flight facilities and spruce lee.

you may buy the 12" online at modshop, spank records or juno. and you should show banggang 12inches and bag raiders your true myspace love and get early updates about new releases in return! read more!

greenmoney + magistrates.

from one of the hottest producers on to the next team that currently provides constant straight fire: greenmoney are back with a new remix, this time going for xl recordings' new indie-pop band magistrates, taking just the right parts of their new single 'heartbreak' and ending up with some balearic sprinkles on top of their trademark uk funky inspired deep bass style. in short: another sure shot!

magistrates - heartbreak (greenmoney's balearic mix)

there is lots more to come from greenmoney and if you need another banging track right now, check out their remix for 'juke dat girl' by dj gant-man, out on fool's gold and available at beatport, also featuring a remix by nadastrom. read more!

knightlife.

guess who's back? more than two years ago, when discodust was just getting started, knightlife from melbourne was one of our first 'huge' discoveries as far as then unsigned producers go and we ended up getting ahold of two of his tracks, 'ambobop' and 'all systems'. the post was not even up for a week or so and he got signed straight away by cut copy for a release on their very own label cutters records which featured the same two tracks we put up here.

the 'i' ep was followed by international tours with his new labelmates and remixes for majors players such as alex gopher, midnight juggernauts, bag raiders and of course cut copy, knightlife quickly established a reputation as one of the premium producers in the whole upcoming scene surrounding italo-french flavoured disco and house.

recently it has been a bit quiet around knightlife but the perfectionist he is, he obviously could not let go until his tracks reached a level of everlasting excellence. now the time has come, cutters just announced the release of his second ep, going by the name of (guess what?) 'ii'. three tracks strong, with two new originals and a carefully crafted remix of his well-known floorfiller 'all systems', the knight once again demonstrates that past and future can co-exist, resulting in timeless beauty.

we have got a radio edit of the long-awaited disco diamond 'crusader' straight from the ep right here for you and you should definitely check out the 'knightlife ii trailer' video as well, edited by the man himself.

knightlife - crusader (radio edit)

beatport has the full release, so get moving already and be one of the first to have this classic ready to go in your dj sets. support knightlife and cutters, buy the 'ii' release now. read more!

alan braxe + fenech-soler.

remember the time when everyone got totally excited when a new production from alan braxe showed up somewhere? i just noticed how there hasn't been any hysteria associated with him for quite a while, probably mainly because he laid low for such a long time but i guess it is also due to his rather weak solo tracks 'addicted' and 'nightwatcher' (yeah i know, same thing, guys). nevertheless, alan braxe was probably just busy getting the uk outfit fenech-soler on track with their debut single 'the cult of romance' on his very own label vulture.

the single release also includes a remix by alan braxe. while i have to admit i did not expect too much, the fact that i had it on repeat all weekend should be proof enough that it's really good. not your typical french house at all, yet conveying the signature warmth and dreaminess, this is definitely one of the most beautiful and opinionated tracks to come out of france in a long time. but listen for yourself, as i am clearly struggling for on-point comparisons!

fenech-soler - the cult of romance (alan braxe remix)

if you like what you hear, show these guys some support and buy the single on itunes. many thanks to the lovely people over at the up and coming too many sebastians for clearing this track for blogging. now let's end this post with a rather pathetic 'welcome back alan braxe, music sounds better with you!' read more!

snob scrilla + bag raiders.

remember when someone wise said there seems to be more and more joints with rappers and actual electro producers these days? well, sydney-based rapper snob scrilla joins in on the fun backed up with a custom production by bang gang 12-inches frontliners bag raiders, taking the rocket-fueled boy/girl-storytelling track 'spaceship' up where it belongs!

snob scrilla - spaceship (produced by bag raiders)

snob scrilla's album 'day one' should be somewhere out there and if he managed to keep up the level of 'spaceship', it should be pretty damn 'superrad'. shouts to the always amazing hyperbole for bringing this to my attention! read more!

jaimie fanatic.

there's no producer out there who is more active than rotterdam-based jaimie fanatic, is there? 130+ tracks associated with his name on beatport, more than 10 of those since early april. sickness. obviously diplo and the gang were amazed as well, as jaimie fanatic has recently joined the ranks of team mad decent.

a couple of days ago jaimie fanatic posted 'el musicae' on his twitter - an unreleased track with fellow netherlands producer jesse voorn, once again showing off that he has good tracks for days. and once more it is rave-flavoured electro house at it's best!

jaimie fanatic & jesse voorn - el musicae

as a bonus and to show you a much more dancefloor mayhem-rave side of jaimie fanatic, here's the title track of his mad decent ep "what's happening to ya". pick up the full release in high quality over at beatport.

jaimie fanatic - what's happening to ya
