At a tender age of 17, french electronic producing prodigy Madeon has etched his place in the industry and is destined for greatness. He recently posted a teaser of an upcoming release entitled, Icarus, which has the kids tripping over their shoelaces. The feedback from the trollers out on the intrawebs are saying its a blend between Wolfgang Gartner / Deadmau5 / Daft Punk / Justice. The following below is a remix by Violet Green, although it does retain much of the original teaser. I’ll let you be the judge.
 
On the flipside, if your in Toronto on October 29, Madeon will be strolling into town @ The Hoxton ( Facebook Event | Tickets ). Don’t miss out! Hoxton + Madeon = JACKPOT

Phantogram - Dont Move.mp3

I think this is the best work yet from the duo from upstate New York who produce all their albums in a barn called Harmony Lodge and describe their barn music as “a culmination of unique urban influenced rhythms, and psychedelic melodies, with combined technology and organic textures.”

…ok…just keep making that sexy barn music guys.

Here is my favourite track from their first album.

Just a preview unfortunately, but a taste nonetheless of this huge remix of Dada Life’s dance floor destroyer.

I am not going to say much about these 3 songs. They speak for themselves. Just sit back, take a deep breath, close your eyes and immerse yourself in the cloudy, visceral, and cryptic atmospheres contained within each track. Let your mind wander amongst uninhabited realms of thought and see what kind of bizarre and extraordinary visions emerge.

Imanos, a Vancouverite recently signed to John Dahlback’s Mutants, is eagerly following his google alerts today. His debut on the label, I’ll Wait For You, featuring the collaborative efforts of Faustix and Lindsey Ray, is being released on Beatport.

The single includes a remix package featuring Tiger Stripes, and also Albin Myers who happens to be a personal favourite of mine.

It was only a matter of time before someone remixed this song by the relatively unknown band College that was recently released on the ‘Drive’ soundtrack.

I think these two did an excellent job in keeping the vocals front and center with the addition of synths and drum machine to make it more danceable.

Although Feed Me’s latest effort is in a time signature that means it won’t get much attention from my sets, I suspect that it’s going to be a party-rocker. All of Jon’s best works to date, in my opinion, are his tracks with vocals, and Trapdoor lives up to that track record.

Lana Del Rey - Blue Jeans (Penguin Prison Remix).mp3

Lana Del Rey and Penguin Prison are a match made in heaven. Her smooth jazzy vocals work perfectly with his signature funky, punk-spiked sound.

Both artists are relatively new on the scene, Lana gaining recognition with her internet hit ‘Video Games’, and Penguin Prison with hits like ‘Don’t Fuck With My Money’ and ‘The Worse it Gets’. I actually heard Penguin Prison for the first time after RAC played their remix of the latter song at their show for Mansion’s ‘Pop Kult’ in Toronto.

Thomas J. Rubeli, a.k.a. Aech_Rom, is a relatively unknown producer from Switzerland who makes beautiful and inspired electronic music.  Although one might be inclined to label Aech_Rom as Drum & Bass or IDM, these labels are merely part of the equation when considering his genre.

It is difficult to place Aech_Rom’s music into one specific genre. His styles range from Glitch to Ambient, IDM, Breakbeat, Drum & Bass, Drill & Bass, Experimental, and even Chiptune. Certainly, Rubeli’s style is derived from similarly varied artists like Aphex Twin, Autechre, or Squarepusher but Rubeli does not blatantly mimic these artists.

No, in fact, he creates a unique atmosphere that surrounds his music and somehow captures both the serene and the chaotic. Rubeli’s take on a sound that could potentially sound dated or unoriginal is instead quite refreshing and modernized.

Aech_Rom’s latest release Llen Part 1: LN47 Arrival (out now for free download on Complex Sound Sagacity) gives sufficient proof that Rubeli has a seat reserved for him in ‘Electronica Heaven’…right next to Richard D. James.

(A big thanks goes out to Xander for showing me “Sick Duck”… yes it is SICK!)

Howdy! Time for an injection of Canadian soundwaves into those ears! This round up of artists branding the red and white range from minimal to dubstep and might knock you off your rocker.

Its time to tweak up the volume and toss your skittles to a fresh new bootleg by our friends, Dzeko & Torres! The vocals and the lead synth on this one work in harmony, bottling energy as every kick strikes down, until it hits you like a refreshing drop of rain bringing upon a beautiful sense of jubilation. Listen on!

I like tech with my cereal in the morning, i like tech when i get tucked in at night, its part of my life. This treat comes to us from our friends MDMK who have recently launched their first EP entitled, Facefood. The following pick called Masina is my personal fav from the EP, capturing the life of Africa and making it feel as if it were within an arms length away.

The effects and interactive possibilities of this musical experience are cool enough, but the geeks out there will be truly impressed by the fact that this is all done in WebGL. Cool!

Omar S is a Detroit producer / DJ, with a new record out on his imprint FXHE Records. This track is from his last record, Just Ask the Lonely.

Like most Detroit techno producers worth their salt, he wears his city like a badge of honour. There’s something seriously wrong with the market though, when an artist making quality music is selling ice cube trays on the site he’s trying to sell vinyl records and digital copies in .wav.

Cop his new LP here.

Some great funky/disco jams for you this morning from some of the best artists in the business!

I came across this gent rather randomly, and found a ton of tunes I’m feeling when I dug through his soundcloud account – the soundcloud set at the bottom has enough tracks to keep you busy for quite a while!

As for biographical info, I can’t find much on the guy. He started DJ’ing at 13, grew up in Miami, and loves the Latin heat.

He also has a long discography on some primo labels, including Last Gang/Tremendous, Nervous, Plant, Slow Roast, Southern Fried, Kitsune, Hot Creations, Ministry of Sound, Dutchie, and InStereo!
