I still remember long ago when I first heard Yuksek have his way with Phoenix’s over-remixed “Lisztomania,” where he showed everyone precisely how it’s done. He’s been known for procuring some of the danciest tracks in the game and much hasn’t changed. Today he finds the release of two EPs where he hopes will lead him to well deserved, widespread recognition. The first is his solo work entitled The Edge EP. Perfect for any Summer playlist, The Edge is made in textbook poolside style. The track received touchups from Aeroplane, Panteros666, Beni and Kim…all of which were new to me, but Aeroplane’s reigned supreme. Purchase the EP here!

The next is a special treat for all of the avid nu disco fans out there. Yuksek teamed up with legendary producer The Magician to form Peter & The Magician. Together they produced the Memory EP with remixes by Le Crayon, NSFW and POiNDEXTER. This EP came together a lot better of the two, though I wouldn’t rule out The Edge. I just like how Memory went a bit more tribal with its danciness. I just imagine myself stranded beach side, palm trees, coconuts, sand between my toes and everything’s just gravy. Plus Le Crayon’s funky rerub is just too funky for words! Purchase the EP here!
