majestic + project bassline.


majestic is the official mc for leading uk garage production team the wideboys and has been making serious noise in the garage scene ever since he started performing on stage and at pirate radio stations ten years ago. his single 'in the vip' provides a cynical yet charismatic take on the vip culture in certain nightclubs and with support by the likes of radio tastemakers sinden and kissy sellout, the track already created quite some buzz and is destined to follow in the footsteps of anthemic club bangers like 'wearing my rolex'.

while the original track is of course produced by the wideboys, we have got the remix by project bassline (look them up and you might be in for a surprise) for you right here which immediately got me hooked and will definitely be played out like crazy, starting just now. enjoy another premiere on discodust!

the single drops on october 7th on big life records, so this promo is circulating way early but i expect to hear this track in the clubs for much longer than that anyway. show majestic some love on his twitter and his myspace. will definitely keep watching out for more from him! read more!

the young punx + shinichi osawa.


the young punx come back at us with full force with a very special bundle of tracks fueled by their huge success in japan. 'rock star (understand)' is a cover of a song called 'understand' by the yokohama based band asian kung-fu generation who recently shared a stage with the young punx in yokohama, playing to over twenty-five-thousand fans.

'rock star' is the first track to 'leak' from the upcoming new album by the young punx called 'mashpop & punkstep' and combines their signature electro sound with the best in japanese pop music. and in case you like it a bit harder, there's a remix by no one else than shinichi osawa that made it straight to the pole position of the japanese itunes electronic charts. get your guitars out, rock stars!

greenmoney + william orbit.


greenmoney are definitely among the hottest producers in the uk (and far beyond) right now, i seriously love how they blend uk funky flavoured rhythms and deep bass pressure with everything else that's good. since the last time we checked (over here) the guys finished new remixes for sibley, aswad, kid sister, trevor loveys and william orbit. wow, what a line-up!

we have got the all new greenmoney remix for the madonna, pink, sugababes and blur producing legend william orbit (pictured above) for you today and by the way greenmoney incorporate classic techno flavoured chimes and some old school house piano stabs, i am sure they have spent a fair amount of time at illegal warehouse raves back in the days. as so often with them, the remix comes with a dubbed version as well - enjoy another premiere on discodust!

william orbit - purdy (greenmoney's 'out of orbit' remix)

if you still can't get enough, tune in to the weekly greenmoney radio show, excellent selections over there! besides that, their debut single for fool's gold is in the works as well, so things are going great for greenmoney and we'll definitely hear more real soon! read more!

boy 8-bit + florence and the machine.


(note: had to repost this because of - you guessed it - dmca misunderstandings. back up now!) the evil legions of discobelle just exclusively unleashed this monster of a remix by boy 8-bit for 'drumming song' by the so so talented florence and the machine. as the name implies and as this season's big room sound obviously requires, the tune sports some pretty big drums and tends more towards electro house than earlier boy 8-bit material, fucking love the remix, especially the breakdown!

florence and the machine - drumming song (boy 8-bit remix)

hold out for the single dropping september 7th on island, also featuring yet another great remix by jack beats. show boy 8-bit, florence and her machines some love! read more!

designer drugs remixes.


the designer drugs remix powerhouse is still going strong and in-between all their time spent in the studio and in sweaty clubs, the guys just found the time to hook us up with their latest remix for the new flo rida single featuring nelly furtado. as so often, for some reason the remix didn't make it on to the official release but atlantic gave them the heads up to spread this around the blogs, so enjoy another discodust premiere right here.

flo rida featuring nelly furtado - jump (designer drugs remix)

also yet unheard is the special radio version of their remix for 'strange enough' by n.a.s.a. featuring ol' dirty bastard, karen o and fat lip. on top of that, i have also included the great designer drugs remix of 'your heart feels' by thieves like us that i didn't post when it showed up a few weeks ago - don't miss, absolutely huge!

n.a.s.a. - strange enough (designer drugs remix)
thieves like us - your heart feels (designer drugs remix)

the new designer drugs single is dropping in october and they are touring europe in september and october, check their myspace for the tour schedule! read more!

acid girls.


acid girls from los angeles are living the (american) blogger's dream: they went straight from hosting one of the most influential music blogs to dj'ing parties all over the world and are recently receiving more and more praise for their own productions and remixes. similar to duke dumont or jokers of the scene, their productions have a very wide range of influences but always build on the roots of classic techno.

their new single is about to drop on iheartcomix on september 1st features two dancefloor destroyers along with remixes by jokers of the scene and dave p & adam sparkles. pick up the a-side 'the numbers song' right here which has been a reliable killer tune in a lot of dj sets for months.

acid girls - the numbers song

and as acid girls have been really busy these days, here are some more tracks you should definitely check out including an original tune with shooting star frankmusik (which scored a release on kitsuné) and two remixes for spanish band delorean (who got the 'best new music' badge over at pitchfork the other day) and colorado-based electro-rock vandals 3oh!3.

acid girls featuring frankmusik - wake up
delorean - deli (acid girls remix)
3oh!3 - don't trust me (acid girls erotic braille dub)

watch out for more from acid girls and if you're looking for some cutting edge remixers for your upcoming release, they'd definitely be on top of our list right now. read more!

digitalfoxglove + freak you.


french label on the fruit is known as one of the most reliable sources for heartfelt, epic dreamy soundscapes with a lot of attention to detail in the synthesizers department. we have previously featured label owner freak you (over here) and vintage wizard worship (over here) and are now introducing their latest signing digitalfoxglove.

based in germany, digitalfoxglove works as a graphic designer but has always had a strong passion for electronic music. fascinated by the kind of music featured on blogs like this, especially the rather melodic and dreamy tunes, he decided it was about time he seriously gets into music production and spent nearly his entire spare time for the last two years on getting the hang of it. and what can i say, it definitely worked out great!

'beasts and flowers' features catchy melodies supported by lovely chords and shows off a fair amount of originality and sophisticated synthesizer work. definitely not your average track, this collaboration by digitalfoxglove and freak you is a musical delight for everyone who's into (quoting myself) epic dreamy soundscapes and i am glad that we're among the first to post it (and i predict that many others will follow).

digitalfoxglove featuring freak you - beasts and flowers

show digitalfoxglove some love on myspace. he is currently working with different vocalists and guest musicians to finish off his debut release for on the fruit. we will definitely keep you posted! read more!

hostage.


discodust resident hostage won't ever stop, you know it. consistently exploring new sounds and hijackin' them for a wild ride to rave territory, you can always be sure his productions will set dancefloors on fire.

this time he hits us with 'i get high', an uplifting summer jam which puts up a soulful sample against several heavy basslines, ending up with a perfect tune for this season! just like all recent hostage tunes, 'i get high' already got radio1 support and as (almost) always, you get it first on discodust!

hostage - i get high

and just in case 'i get high' doesn't feel heavy enough to you, we've got you covered, as hostage hooked us up with his latest heavy hitter 'welcome to paradise' as well, delivered as custom refined 'discodust mix'. if i wouldn't feel special 24/7 already anyway, now would be the time, right? anyway, play this loud!

hostage - welcome to paradise (discodust mix)

more goods from hostage are coming up soon, among them is a remix for the new foamo single 'wardance' and if everything works out, a mindblasting collaboration with someone very special. we'll keep you posted! read more!
