What a week....

This week is just fantastic. No, no, I still have work so it's not that but I'm talking about the music this week. New Gemini EP (which I've been waiting to drop for probably 3-4 months) AND a new Wolfgang Gartner album. Not to mention the Porter Robinson EP that came out last week which I'm sure by now we all know about.

Gemini is organizing his US tour at the moment and is rumored to be coming stateside fairly soon (a few months we hope but sooner is obviously welcome). The entire Graduation EP is great but I simply can't get over how perfect the 3rd song H.A.T.D is. I posted about it in an InspectorDubplate mix a couple months back and have been awaiting the full version ever since. It certainly does not disappoint so give it a listen or twenty below. Gemini's EP is available most anywhere but you can get it for sure on iTunes here.

Gemini - H.A.T.D

Wolfgang's album is quite the treat as well (don't get too turned off by the featured artists and the first song, it gets better). You can purchase his album here and make sure to catch him at Webster Hall when he rolls through in October. My personal favorite unheard song on the album is below so use that to gauge your interest.

Wolfgang Gartner - Shrunken Heads (Original Mix)

Monday Work Mix

Have to say I was very pleased to get an email about this mix being put up today on Soundcloud. We tried to see Umek at Electric Zoo but apparently he had gotten sick so he couldn't make the show. Disappointing as that was, we can all listen to this awesome live mix from him at Space, Ibiza. Perfect to get you in the zone and have some background tunes to work to. Most people I talk to prefer no lyrics when trying to work so this is the best possible mix for that. Check it out below and make sure to keep an eye out for any Umek releases as he tears it up every time.

Oh and I just found this new Radio Show featuring him as well:

Electro Madness!!

Happy Saturday people!  As Electric Zoo has come and gone tons of new tunes have hit the web.  It appears that even though festival season has reached a close producers around the world are unleashing some of the biggest bangers of the year.  There are two in particular that I need to share with you all.  John Dahlback recently released his song "One Last Ride" and it is a great track in itself, but what Tommy Trash did with the remix is just ground shaking.  If this one doesn't get you ready to dance your pants off then there is no hope for you.

Next up is a new remix from Tim Mason.  The man who gave us one the biggest electro house jams of the year with "The Moment" has just unleashed a MASSIVE remix of Lucid's "I Can't Help Myself".  Personally, Tim Mason is on my short list of the producers to watch out for. Check the remix below.

Lucid - I Can't Help Myself (Tim Mason Remix)

Finally, I would like to leave you all with a FREE download of SebastiAn's remix of "Human After All" by Daft Punk.  We here saw SebastiAn's set at Electric Zoo and all I can say is SebastiAn for president in 2012.  Enjoy this classic!

The Chillest of Chill

I think we all know how much I love me some chillstep so I went venturing into the depths of Soundcloud and beyond in order to find you all some damn good stuff. The only producer you maybe have heard of on here is Gladkill. The others I highly doubt you have heard before and I hope I make a good first impression of them for you. I tried to pick my favorites from each but honestly they each have so much more to offer so definitely check them all out on their respective Soundclouds (links with the embed). Most all of these are free to download as well thanks to these generous artists.

Take It Slow by Gladkill

Like Nothing Else Does by sAuce

Find Me . . .feat. Anneka [Free DL] by GoldRush

Faster than chillstep (Pretty Lights-esque) but definitely unknown and great:

A Couple of Mixes

Haven't posted many mixes lately, so seeing what has recently been posted on the interwebs, I figure it's about that time. Kaskade had the honors of doing a Radio 1 Essential Mix this past weekend and he was kind enough to post it on his Soundcloud for everyone to hear. In addition, Dillon Francis had a mini mix on Flux Pavilion and Doctor P's take over of Radio 1. To top it all off I have a more unknown name with Lucky Date dropping a solid 40 minute mix that I think I might like the best of all of them. It ranges from electro house to dubstep which is just the kind of variety that I like. Take a listen to all 3 mixes below and your ears will thank you.

A Few Goodies...

So below are just a few good songs that I have recently come across.  Most are by people that I have never really posted on here.  I decided to branch out and give others a shot as I tend to do when I get tired of waiting around for new music from the usual suspects.  By no means are these not as good, I honestly think all of these bootlegs and remixes are phenomenal and have been playing them nonstop which is why I must share the wealth.  It would be irresponsible of me to let these tunes only reach my ears and a few others so without further ado, listen and pass along the word of some of these lesser known but great producers and DJs.

News and Updates

Wow, well what a week/weekend. If you stayed in New York this weekend I hope you made it to Electric Zoo as it was pretty incredible this year and you probably saw me going insane (and sweating up a storm in those hot ass tents). Not going to go into full detail of sets as I was having too good of a time to remember a lot of them but I would have to say that the top DJ's from each day were as follows:

Friday: Carl Cox, Feed Me, Felguk, Tiga (Honorable Mention for Creepiest Set: SebastiAn)
Saturday: Sub Focus, Porter Robinson, Bloody Beetroots
Sunday: Boys Noize, Jack Beats, Michael Woods, Afrojack

All in all, it was an amazing festival that I highly recommend to anyone that was silly enough to miss it this year. After a festival like this however, the DJ's don't take a break so why should we all be able to? There have been some amazing concerts that have recently been announced around the New York area and I urge everyone to attend at least one of the following shows as they will ALL be incredible. Just take a look at the following concerts in the area that I myself am going to or am at the very least strongly considering going to:

Saturday, September 17th - Ghostland Observatory Tickets
Friday, September 23rd @ Webster Hall - Mord Fustang + Alex Metric Tickets
Friday, October 7th @ Roseland Ballroom - Deadmau5 *SOLD OUT*
Friday, October 14th @ Webster Hall - Wolfgang Gartner Tickets
Saturday, October 22nd @ Terminal 5 - HARD Haunted Mansion w/ Skream + Benga, Gesaffelstein, Dillon Francis, Joker, and Destructo Tickets 
Saturday, October 29th @ Public Assembly - Miles Dyson + Proper Villains Tickets

These are a few of the shows that I think everyone should see coming up.  But not only are these great, there are other ones that are even better that don't quite have tickets available for them yet.  Check out the tweet below and tell me this won't be incredible:

That's right, Porter Robinson AND Madeon in New York at Webster Hall.  Two of the best young DJ's around and Madeon's first time (to my knowledge) in the States, this show will be glorious.  Oh and did I mention this is Halloween weekend?  Even better.  I'll be sure to post whenever the tickets become available as this show has only been announced on Twitter.  Make sure to always keep an eye on the right side of the page for more new concerts and look for Porter's new EP Spitfire to drop on September 13th.

UPDATE: Tickets are on sale HERE now for Porter and Madeon and going VERY FAST
