And just like that, another fantastic year of music has passed. As the adventure that is 2015 begins, we look forward to new opportunities. Moscow’s Hyperboloid Records had the same idea with their newest compilation.

#hello2015 features 9 tracks from artists who spent much of 2014 growing the beginnings of their fanbase. Each of whom are now poised for even more. Download the compilation for free and join us in ringing in the New Year with the future of beats and bass.

Fasten your seat belts friends. Prepare for departure. Aeroplane is ready to blast off into discoville with a fuel tank filled to the brim with funk and groove. Didn’t know you could operate machinery with solely funk and groove?! It’s never too late to learn something new.

On the real though, this guy has been one of the most consistent disco house producers in the scene. Once a duo, but now the reigns have been taken by Vito and he’s holding his own quite well. The other guy split off and formed The Magician…you may have heard of him. Vito’s remixes and mixes are something we always can count on to be extremely special. Now we get to see him in the snow on the beautiful lands of Tahoe!

Vito is headlining THE IGLOO stage on Monday night, but he’s also playing an afterparty on a boat with Snakehips that same night!!! Everything I love. Get tickets to that here.

Back in 2008, Mac Stanton started So French Records. Just last year, he (rightfully) earned heaps of Internet attention with his smash remix of “Lose Yourself to Dance.” Since then, he’s engineered incredible remixes of Danger, Kavinsky, Soul Machine, and the like. We here at C+A+D revel in french disco, therefore it was only natural for us to reach out. He blessed us with an exclusive mixtape. 11 tracks, 50 minutes of Mac Stanton’s unmistakable “ow ow ow.”

Lots of unreleased material here:

As is customary for year’s end, we must reflect back on our experiences. The way everything came together for us this year in regards to music – album releases, shows, festival appearances, CAD4.0! – definitely makes it one of the best years we’ve had. We’ve put together a top 20 list to recognize our very much opinionated favourite releases of 2014. These twenty albums influenced us in some way or other throughout the year by making us dance, think (or not think), and enjoy life; and they deserve a shout out for that. Onward to bigger and better in 2015!

For the better part of 2014, Hanami’s Winter Warmers #1 mix was my go-to pre-sleep set. He’s got a clear knack for inducing a state of calm. Earlier this month, he finally released #2 and the flow is impeccable. I’m caught up so deep in the feeling.

Back in June, Slaptop released his first original track, ‘Sunrise’. Ever since that day, he’s been turning heads all over the circuit thanks to his summery yet deep funk-house. The rise of Slaptop was definitely timed perfectly, but his hard work since then is what has earned him a spot at Snowglobe 2014.

With several remixes and a couple of originals to his name, Slaptop has proven he’s got a unique sound that’s bound to get you warmed up as the sun sets on Sierra (NYE | Wednesday @ 5:15pm). Come get loose with us.

Portland, Oregon’s Emancipator is a trip-hop sensation. His ethereal productions are usually accompanied by orchestral and tribal instruments when he plays live. Lucky for us, his SnowGlobe performance will feature the ensemble! It’s the type of music that was literally made to be heard in a woodsy environment like that of Tahoe. This kind of music under the stars is going to be hard to beat.

Emancipator – Diamonds

Emancipator – Minor Cause
