raw man + blanche.

a few months ago, we already announced the return of french house legend raw man and his new priors track and it seems as if he is seriously back with full force now, his latest project being raw man + blanche. blanche is the french producer's girlfriend who is an author, journalist and tv director. the two eventually decided to work together in music, just like every other aspect of their lives, and already finished more than a dozen tracks.

'united (join together)' is the first single of the two lovers and is actually quite a banger, definitely drawing some inspiration from the works of justice and mstrkrft when they were at their peaks and pairing the roughness with carefully crafted string arrangements, light-hearted vocals and raw man's signature french touch.

while i have to admit i really needed a break from the overdosed world of distorted bangers, enough time has passed now and this track brings back good feelings and memories from some of the best parties i've ever had. so stop denying your own past and for a change, just fucking enjoy this great tune, another premiere on discodust!

already supported by aeroplane, alex metric and rob da bank, the full release is dropping end of october on raw man's very own we rock music along with remixes by one exciting big name yet unannounced as well as cryptonites, les petits pilous and more. read more!

peppe le funk.

a technicolored skunk meets a disco trained monk, that's peppe le funk. paul nichol & ridney (pictured above) started the project around 2005, made a couple of successful tracks on limited vinyl runs, and then split into individual paths.

ridney bumped into jaymo & andy george on a recent ibiza escapade, and passed them a copy of 'floor n order'. of course you can tell where this story is going, so if you'd like to hear what the radio 1 boys had to say about the track click here.

now usually i'm not a siren-in-a-song guy but the wailing sirens in 'floor n order' remind me of daft punk's 'revolution 909' gone wild. the tune departs this hypervisual feeling of a slamming underground party, somewhere in the bowels of chicago, on a dark and foggy night, painted by the city lights bleeding through the cold air.

although peppe le funk is now defunct, you can still follow ridney on myspace and show some love. read more!

toxic avenger + switch + acid girls.

we haven't featured the toxic avenger in a while, although he keeps going through the roof, also thanks to the heavy support by iheartcomix. they are going to release his new twelve-inch 'toxic is dead' on vinyl and digitally end of september along with remixes by drop the lime, south central and others. furthermore, the good people at scion are releasing a new cd sampler by the toxic avenger, so everything is looking pretty damn good!

there's a cd release tour in the states in early october as well, check out scion a/v for the dates. ahead of the release, we can hook you up with the original of 'toxic is dead' as well as remixes by switch and acid girls. the switch remix in 320 kbps is another premiere on discodust, enjoy!

munk + cut copy.

due to my awesome timing and letting beloved miss toats' posts sitting around unpublished far too long, we can celebrate two munk write-ups in one day! but this cut copy 'jackmaster' remix of the new single is just too good. as the name suggests, there's some serious old school jackin' vibe going on in this cosmic piano house anthem, making this another stellar release for gomma. check out the full release on beatport.

and there's also a brandnew munk for fall season, get it while it's hot!

solo.

i can't quite pinpoint when or where i first came across solo, but his music has kind of consumed my ears ever since. looking at his list of releases, he's far from new to the scene. reading like a grocery list of 'who's who' in music today, he's released tracks on everyone from defected to dirtybird to my #1 new label to look out for, sound pellegrino.

solo - afreaka
solo - joga bola
dj gregory & gregor salto - con alegria (solo more cowbell remix)

solo - midget mix september 2009 (on sharebee)

you better appreciate the music while it's still free. judging by the lineup of remixes he has pending (crookers, depeche mode, wiley), his own sound pellegrino ep and the quality of stuff he's been churning out, the free solo stuff might be put on the endangered species list. read more!

the phenomenal handclap band + munk.

leave it to munk and gomma records to always put out a track that starts everyone's party engines. you get a song that's perfect for almost any occasion; waking up, riding your bike to school, a fashion week party, taking the trash out, grocery shopping and so on. the phenomenal handclap band provides the vocals and munk provides the extra spice whipping up something that's so much better than mac 'n cheese at 4 am.

udachi + jubilee.

our friends nightshifters recently unleashed what might be their biggest release so far, 'paypur' and 'smoke rings' by udachi and jubilee. with support by fake blood, klever and dj craze, i especially see 'smoke rings' having huge crossover potential and being a legit follow-up to the now played out 'day & nite' remix by crookers. a true banger!

udachi & jubilee - smoke rings video (on vimeo)

the release comes with remixes by breakbeat legend luna-c, dre skull, grahmzilla, cardopusher and nick catchdubs. the latter and the original are up for grabs right here!

mimó + fenech-soler + vega.

a tiny bit of backfilling coming up now, as i missed out on posting a couple of good things during my idle time once again. first off is 'running out' by mimó who is probably someone semi-famous in disguise again but i am too exhausted to further investigate right now and we were hooked up with remixes by fenech-soler and vega anyway. i bet you know what to expect: disco-flavoured electro, twice.
