Azari & III “Manic” Stream
There is something about AzarI & III that I could never put my finger on with their brand of Distopian-futurist-house. It is more than appropriate that their debut full-length album is entitled “Manic”. The entire LP is a collection of genre blending dancefloor tracks that will conjure up images of 80s excess mixed in with 90s apathy. It is a collection of tunes that strike a nostalgic note while still feeling very futuristic. “Lost In Time” and “Change of Heart” are two of my favorite cuts from the album along side all the big singles that we all know and love. “Undecided” is a track that is a clash of Depeche Mode and and early NIN – a sound and vibe that I have no problem hearing in today’s musical environment. This is definitely in the running for one of my top favorite albums of 2011.
Azari & III : Into The Night
SCION A/V presents a feel good disco pop dance song via the Azari & III gang. A very uplifting tune compared to the rest of Azari & III’s repertoire. No more bangers – it’s time to get emotional on the dancefloor y’all…

Azari & III – Into The Night
Azari & III – Indigo
“Azari & Third” strike back with their latest release, “Indigo” out on Turbo Records now. A classic House filled release that satisfies my dance music needs. I’m a big fan of the haunting vocals. The A Capella on the release is a nice thing to throw around in DJ sets.

Friendly Fires x Azari & III
As we all wait for a new Friendly Fires album this latest Bugged Out Suck My Deck mix mixed by the trio will have to suffice. The UK trio teams up with the Toronto House duo to produce a track that pays homage to the classic NYC House sound that we all know and love. Listen to “Stay Here” a track made exclusively for this mix, maybe this is a hint to what the new album will sound like.

Azari & III x Tensnake
It’s official. The 90s is back and it is somehow awesome sounding. Germany’s own Tensnake transforms the dark and weird house track, “Reckless (With Your Love) by Azari & III into a soulful and empowering 90s track a la Des’ree “You Gotta Be” meets Snap “I Got The Power” (Just wait till the end). Massive remix and massive talent courtesy of Tensnake and Azari & III, one of the top remixes of 2010.
HEALTH x Azari & III
I unfortunately missed the Toronto weird-haus duo Azari & III when they made their NYC debut. But they return with this remix of HEALTH. A weird big sounding space house disco production. Nothing to say but it is big and weird and that I love it.

Ali Love x Azari & III
Azari & III turns Ali Love’s slick Italo Disco tune into dark, dense house tune that would sound best on a loud soundsystem at 4 in the morning while in a very inebriated and in a very dark room. Also I cannot stop listening to the original version of “Diminishing Returns” – Ali Love, Luca C, and Dubka did such an amazing job.
