This Kavsrave’s Quotes EP is a massive collection of tunes. BASS music at its finest. To coincide with the release of this 3 track EP, Kavsrave threw together this mix for NMBRS’ Podcast. Ginuwine, Ludacris into Hudson Mohawke – all in one amazing mix – fine by me. Be sure to check out the Quotes EP, “Baggage Handler and “PClart” are massive summer tunes that I have had on repeat for the past 2 weeks and probably will be for the rest of the summer.

BURNS somehow turns a wah-guitar lead line into a dancefloor banger. Loved this tune from the first time I heard it on DJ Mehdi’s Xmas Mix.

I might as well turn my blog into “Asian Dan Loves Australian Music” Blog. With “The Crystal Axis” almost upon us, 5.28.2010 be exact – the Juggernaut trio has provided us with some great remixes. One by KIM of The Presets, a dark house jam that oozes with Oceania pride. A dark psycho-delic spiral into the dancefloor vortex, just give in and dance. Be on the lookout for the Holy Trinity of remixes of “Vital Signs” by each member of the band, Vin, Andy, and Daniel, a sort of alternate ending as told by each member.

Check out the music video for “Vital Signs” – here.

Foals have written one of the most heart wrenching tunes of the year for me, “Spanish Sahara” – an introspective self-reflective piece that penetrates the mind and soul. Epic to say the least. UK 2-Step-ineer, Deadboy comes in and transforms the sparse tune into a dark Detroit dancefloor friendly tune, classic 909 drum samples and a slinky bassline that screams to the Detroit Dance gods. Be sure to check out the massive Deadboy tune, “If U Want Me” – fantastic sample, drum pattern and bassline.

I expect nothing less from Ali Love and Co, straightforward, well written synth Pop. Big drums, warm analog synths, and catchy falsetto hooks – everything I love about his music. Looking forward to his album “Love Harder” out 7.26.2010.

Mr. A-Trak strikes back with “Dirty South Dance 2”, an ode to his hip-hop mash-up days – just think a 2manyDJs mixtape made for hip-hop/electro heads. Straight up party jams. Fun times.

I wish I could name my band after my last name. Matt Van Schie is one of the few and lucky in the world to follow in suit of the greats, Van Halen and Bon Jovi. Matt’s solo EP, Balmy Nights has been on repeat for the past few weeks for me. A fantastic collection of summer pop tunes. “Journey” is his latest single off the EP proceeding the great track “Saturday Night”. Van She Tech at the Brooklyn Bowl last weekend dropped this great remix of “Journey” by Teenagersintokyo a great dancefloor pleaser. Be sure to check out his uber sexy vid for “Journey” after the jump. A vid that chops up the French film “L’amant” by Jean-Jacques Annaud.

Not your typical production by HudMo. A very straight forward UK dance sounding take on UK Grimester, Wiley. Big choon.

I am excited that artists like Primary 1 and Penguin Prison are bringing back this super polished pop sound. I want to hear and see an artist really trying to make well produced catchy music along side a well put together image. I want to watch them strive for that irresistible and infectious sound. I’m sick of all the lo-fi, made in a garage chillwave stuff. Give me the over the top produced sound and absurdity that is Pop Music. While you are at it bring me back some Rock and or Roll.

A great voice in music once said “You gotta take the littlest things in life, man, and blow them all out of proportion, and thats Rock and Roll.” I totally agree, Mr. David Lee Roth. You speak the truth.

Checkout this fantastic surreal vid for Primary 1’s track “Princess” as well as this remix by the UK garage god, MJ Cole. Also if you have a chance to get your hands on the new MJ Cole “Riddem EP”, do it. MASSIVE tracks.
