Asian Dan

Hot City works his 2-step house magic on Dan Black. I am a huge fan of that classic house organ sound that kicks in the first third of the song.

Dan Black – Symphonies (Hot City Remix)

Boston’s own Shuttle has been making quite big moves this year with his little band, Passion Pit but his remixes of acts such as Phoenix have been showing how versatile of a musician and producer he is. His style of dubstep is not your typical wonky basslines, but his music is sound is definitely HUGE in a good way. I could not get enough of his remix of Phoenix’s “Love Like a Sunset” and his recent remix of Body Language’s “Work This City” is quite a catchy one. I love that he included one of my favorite remixes of the year, Joy Orbison’s remix of Four Tet – a massive talent that Nate and I have talked about numerous times.

Be sure to catch him at Webster Hall 1.8.2010 with Holy Ghost! and Classixx to witness his DJing magic. What Shuttle has in store for Twenty-Ten, who knows, maybe a remix of Lady Gaga & Beyonce or a remix of P Diddy featuring Biggie or maybe even finally a mix for Asian Dan…who knows?

Hot City is the right blend of classic house, two-step, garage and everything in between – in other words it will get people dancing. Hot City’s subtlely and simplicity is what makes the tracks work so well. I just discovered Hot City 2 weeks ago (via Mr. @electrodrone) and am very impressed. I love the glitched ot synths and vocals. Check out “Hot City Bass” and “Sweat” here they totally remind me of Surkin & Bobmo’s, High Powered Boys. (speaking of what are they up to?)
