Zeds Dead dabble in diverse genres with minimix for upcoming ‘Hot Sauce’ EP
Zeds Dead have teased their forthcoming Hot Sauce EP, boasting deep/minmal, tribal, and breakbeat productions. Rather than post individual preview links, Zeds Dead have opted to organize the five tracks into a five minute minimix.
Doorly – Rush feat. Soraya Vivian (Original Mix)
Doorly is known as a bit of a jack-of-all-trades in the dance music community; he has acted as Usher's DJ, done guest mixes for Radio 1, taken up residencies in Ibiza, and worked with everyone from Grandmaster Flash to Basement Jaxx to Nero and Skrillex. His latest release, "Rush," out today on Jeffree's exhibits all of this diverse creative energy in one track. The tune is a full-on feel good vintage house track with an incredibly deep breakdown and dizzying chord and synth work. The remix package includes stabs from Problem Child's two step vibe, Go Freek, Lenkemz, and Rail & Priors on the drum and bass tip. Annie Mac loves it, we love it, you'll love it too.
GTA create a high octane party track with ‘Booty Bounce’
Unofficial winner of the "Best Damn Album Art Ever" contest, GTA's "Booty Bounce" has been featured in Diplo's sets worldwide throughout the summer and has finally seen an official release, for free, via Mad Decent. The duo, comprised of JWLZ and VanToth, are on a mission to bring back the Miami house sound after it was "murdered by the douches of South Beach." The track itself is an unapologetic party starter framed by sirens, thunderous kick drums and a stuttering vocal from which its name was derived. Like many of the tracks released on the Mad Decent label, "Booty Bounce" is a soundly produced, high-octane effort that doesn't take itself too seriously -- and thats exactly why we love it.
Hot Chip – Look At Where We Are (Major Lazer Remix)
When we first heard this track on BBC 1 this morning we were shocked. Major Lazer remixing an incredibly mellow, borderline folk, indie rock song? It didn't seem plausible. Lucky for us we were pleasantly surprised. Adding a distinctly Caribbean-dancehall-style to the indie crooner's melancholy lyrics may seem like an unlikely combo but the downtempo beat with Joe Goddard's slow paced vocals are a perfect fit to create a uniquely memorable track.
