SOHN

A recent discovery, SOHN’s music instantly caught our attention with the ethereal, spacey, and haunting vibes. Whatever movement this type of music can be pinned to, we are definitely fans. With influences from both the UK and Austrian music scene (think HVOB), SOHN is absolutely essential for your ‘chill-out’ playlist.

SOHN just signed with 4AD. We can’t wait to see what this legendary label will do for him and his upcoming debut album.

Here’s SOHN’s take on one of my favourite songs. He does it justice.

The coveted bromance of dance music have once again joined forces to lay down another smashing record. This time, in remix form of Laurent Garnier’s ‘Jacques In the Box.’ I just love saying “Jacques” in a French accent. Pronounced kinda like…jhawc, or so I think. Anyhow, this remix delves into the darkest corners of techno that Gesaffelstein has made his staple. Not sure exactly what Brodinski contributed here, but the two together can do no wrong. Looking forward to seeing them on the newly announced HARD Summer lineup. Hooooly shit (to that).

This song was released earlier this month. Buy it and the other remix by Chicago Bordello here.

Coming down from Coachella just got a bit easier. Wonder duo Disclosure‘s newest track ‘You & Me ft. Eliza Doolittle’ was just posted to their Soundcloud. We vividly remember this track when they played it live this past weekend, and it was glorious. Their unique musical tweaks and turns are present throughout and Eliza Doolittle’s lovely vocals make it that much better.

Their album “Settle” is due out June 3rd. It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that “Settle” is fixing to be one of the best albums of 2013. Pre-order it here.

Enjoy!

Damn. So Soulwax decides to make an appearance back in the remix scene after taking quite the break. These guys are known for touring for months on end. Rarely even stopping to take a break. A silence like this usually indicates lots of new sounds coming our way. Maybe a new album? Hell, it’s been 6 years since Nite Versions. Seems only fitting that they release a new album with all the others coming out this year.

This remix has that traditional analog sound that Soulwax has been known for. The complete vibe takes you on a darker ride. And the video…looks like someone with the spins trying not to KO after a night of debauchery. Good to have these lads back!

And just for gigs, here is my favorite remix of ALL TIME! Yeah I said it.

Allow me to introduce Parov Stelar; a very unique Austrian Producer and DJ. He’s one of the many electronic artists who are currently reviving big band and swing music. I couldn’t be happier with this movement! Parov is credited with the creation of the Electroswing genre. You can’t help but feel that this is swing music for the 21st century, complete with all the trumpets, synthesizer, saxophone, and bass you’d ever need for the new age. The best part is that he’ll be touring with his live trio. Meaning that there will be live instruments! You’re almost guaranteed to nod your head, tap your foot and just groove out to these tunes. Consider adding him to your Coachooser for Sunday.

Breakbot | SoundLogik | Amplified Access

What started out as an unexpected trip, turned out to be one of the best adventures of my life. For those who are new, I kind of like Breakbot. A lot. He’s not only a big inspiration, but one of the most well respected DJs and revered producers in the world. The initial plan was to catch him at the first of his SoCal tour dates in Hollywood on Friday. One sold out show, rushed group of friends, empty stomach, and bottle service later; I’m leaving the show early. Long story short, of course. I’ll spare you. Shout out to Bondax, though! I do remember them. Anyway, I woke up devastated. Depite having a busy Saturday in LA, I rendezvoused south bound with some of the crew. Arriving at the hidden venue moments before Breakbot’s midnight settime gave me a sense of accomplishment. Little did I know that after walking through those doors, I was about to get much more than I missed. Check after the jump for more on the night and music!
