I say sunny vibes cause it's a beautiful day here in southern california and all I can find myself listening to is appropriately chilled down music.

Prince Club, comprised of two young house music producers from Montreal, has been consistently churning out high quality minimal deep house music for about a year now. In this short amount of time, they have really set themselves apart with their recognizable unique style that is reminiscent of minimal techno, but with their own bass heavy touch and collection of crazy bleeps and bloops.

This remix track by Maxxi Soundsystem, aka Sam Watts, has been on repeat on my iPod for a couple weeks now. It is amazingly well done in all regards.

Released for free by Mad Decent the other day, this is one you really don't wanna miss out on. The synth work is so clean and creative, I really love that sort of glitchy, lasers-shooting-out-of-a-pyramid sound that its got going on here.

In the relentless pursuit of good music that comes with being a music blogger, I've found that every once in a while, when I'm lucky, a song comes along that transcends the normal bounds of what music is supposed to do - somehow it becomes not simply a good track, but a sort of anthem that takes on a meaning entirely beyond what a 4 or 5 minute piece of noise ought to signify.

Individually, the two enjoyed a bit of it throughout the 90's and 00's as figures in the Toronto house and techno scenes.

Little Boots just dropped her new single, "Shake", and I'm quite pleased with her new direction. Thanks to the impeccably tasteful James Ford of Simian Mobile Disco, her new track has a wonderful bouncing bass line, subtle and graceful synth work, and snappy pop percussion. I'm not entirely thrilled by her vocals... they have their moments, but overall I find the melodic lines pretty Patrickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12239327259081092643noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5058145260689076878.post-20647693481149458592011-11-30T03:52:00.002-05:002011-11-30T03:56:52.535-05:00AliveThis is the second track by Blende that I've put up in two straight posts and if you think that's a coincidence... well.. it's not.

Today I bring you Parisian duo, Paradis. Their debut releases came out this past September on Beats in Space Records and I must say, I am impressed.

We're a little behind on this one, but it's still worth sharing with you guys. The Duck Sauce single 'Big Bad Wolf' gets the Dada Life treatment here.

Been waiting for this one to get released in full quality for a while now, and thankfully it's finally here. This remix is typical Gesaffelstein: brash, strange, and simply bangin'. (it's also lightyears better than the Duck Sauce original).

It's here. Boys Noize's hand-crafted, 90's house homage is finally here, released on Bright&Shiny Hall of Famer Sven Vaeth's Cocoon Recordings and its everything we had hoped. Simple and understated, this song might seem underwhelming to the uninitiated. However, those people don't know what they're talking about. This song, my friends, is certified dance floor gold.

Zoe Xenia is a female vocalist and producer from the Netherlands. She has been releasing beautiful tech/deep house music since 2007 on Suara and her latest EP, You Got Me Started, is a shining example of her cultivated talents. After listening through the EP a few times, I singled out the hypnotic Catz & Dogz (aka 3channels) remix as my favorite.

Gregori Klosman's newest single, Peacock, is a track that we've been waiting to see released for a long time ever since we first saw this tantalizingly awesome (but way too brief) video preview of it a while ago.

The new Jan Driver EP, AMT, which dropped on the 5th on Boys Noize Records, is a fearsome collection of electro & techno noises that I highly recommend to all of you, with each track guaranteed to pack a fat fucking punch on any decent subs.

In addition to the three tracks they uploaded, they also put up two mixes that are perfect for your casual rooftop pool party. Just adding to the reasons why I love Fare Soldi, all of these tracks are up for free download.

The plan is to make 24, one-hour-long mixes with accompanying animated cover art, like those which often accompany their live sets.

The production is spacious, the textures exquisite, and the vocals enchanting.
