I’m Fine & Antonio Olivieri are about to release their magnificent ‘If I Were Music‘ EP on February 17th on Steyoyoke house label. I have to say, ‘If I Were Music’ grabbed my soul by the hand and took it for a spin all night long.  It is an incredibly intense and romantic track with a low pitch vocal that leaves you with an enormous sense of wellbeing!

“I’m Fine” are Marco Perschon and Alexander Grafenauer. The two met in 2010 at SAE Institute Berlin during their audio engineering studies.  Antonio Olivieri was born in Italy and exhausted by the mainstream philosophy after some experiences with major Italian labels such as Saifam Group, Antonio moved to Berlin in 2008 to fulfill his philosophical view on modern electronic music.

“Your Ghost” has a haunting female vocal, deep and intense bassline with an exquisite soundscape guaranteed to haunt the soul of any house music lover!

“Do Not Care” is an electronic statement with interesting vocal samples, lush drums and thumping bass combined with some natural instruments such as hang and dobro to create a Good, Bad and Ugly western movie atmosphere!

Steyoyoke is a new Berlin-based house label founded by a like-minded creative crew with a love for high quality and feel-good music.We want to show that music-art is still alive and that new and fresh ideas are worth being listened to and spread.

Richie G Eterna / But Her Fly

Richie G is a prodigiously talented eighteen-year-old electronic music producer and DJ from Montreal, Canada, who you should already have on your music radar having released his debut, self-produced, “Baum” EP on Haçienda Records last year and his previous remixes for Traum and, not forgetting, Luis Junior’s “BG” (Bed91) when he was only fifteen!

He has received great support from within the Montreal scene and from this springboard has also pricked up the ears of major names such as John Digweed, Sasha, James Zabiela and Hernan Cattaneo (who along with Jesper Dahlback also remixed “Vorbendacht” from the “Baum” EP).

Richie G’s massive track ‘Eterna’ is bass fuelled gorgeousness, with a driving rhythm guaranteed to keep the Bedrock bunnies happy!

‘But Her Fly‘ takes you on a wonderful melodic and atmospheric journey, keeping you moving with sublime electronic soundscapes and beats throughout.

“Eterna” and “But Her Fly” display all the hallmarks of the supremely sumptuous techno-edged electronic music that Richie G produces. His music is without doubt euphoric, beautiful, highly individual and inventive in equal measures, his depth of musical knowledge and finely honed production skills belie his young age.

Bedrock brings you two superb tracks from one of the hottest talents around in 2012 out on release today.

Guy J shining / 1000 words

John Digweed’s Bedrock labels sensational melodic beauties awarded them an incredibly successful 2011, so now they kick off 2012 with yet another superb release from one of the standout electronic artists in the world today.

Guy J is at the forefront of a movement towards the melody-rich and emotionally charged roots of the house music spectrum. He’s a young, innovative producer, DJ and live act, whose infectious production talents resulted in his amazing 3CD artist album (1000 Words) being acclaimed as one of the musical highlights of 2011. Now, three of the album’s standout tracks have been remixed alongside a brand new track, to form the hottest package you could hope for to start the year in style.

“Shining” showcases the extraordinary talents of Guy J, from its beautifully delicate melodic intro, which claps its way through to a blossoming arrangement, with a highly emotive core and wonderful atmosphere.

Guy J - The Shining by Bedrock Records

On “1000 Words” as the mood moves towards deep, throbbing intensity, with lights down low, “My Thought Of You” turns up the energy levels and gets a little twisted, as Guy J pushes emotion buttons, exploring the psyche of the dance ritual, exploring possibilities, whilst forging ahead into the future. Which is a perfect starting point for Octopus label boss and Bedrock artist, Sian, to begin his audio experimentation on remix duty.

Guy J - My Thought of You (Sian`s Telepathic mix Remix) by Bedrock Records

When you have interests ranging from cosmology and marine biology, to the social impact of the rave generation, you tend to make unusual art and Sian stands out as a little more bohemian than the average electronic talent. Adhering more to the avant-garde side of club culture, his tracks develop an otherworldly, and hypnotic slant on techno. His reworking of  “My Thought Of You” is yet another exceptional example of creative genius at work.

The gorgeous, heavenly vocals of Miriam Vaga feature on 3 tracks on “1000 Words” with “Fly” providing a stunning finale to CD1, an amazing collection of the more eclectic and experimental side of Guy J’s music. The original version can only be described as a listening experience that has been heaven sent, so there was only one possible choice to remix such beauty.

Guy J & Miriam Vaga - Fly (Hybrid Soundsystem remix ) by Bedrock Records

Since they first burst onto the scene with the now classic album “Wide Angle” in 1999, Hybrid have been known as one of the most forward thinking and technically skilled acts in electronic dance music. Before hotfooting it over to Hollywood to work on the soundtrack for the new Terminator movie, they have made time to work their magic on “Fly”, and remixes don’t come much bigger than this!

The heavenly atmospherics of Detroit techno bring “1000 Words” to a close with the moody magnificence of “Azimuth”, which has been boldly taken into a new dimension by Bedrock remix competition winner, Kassey Voorn, from Athens, Greece.

Dan Ready - 'Lissom'

Dan Ready is a 19 year old DJ, Producer and 2nd Year Music Technology student living in Leeds. With a strong love for House Music and a passion for all things creative, his tracks often reflect what’s on his mind. When producing, he feels strongly about not “following a craze” but making music he feels paint a true picture of his recent influences.

Taking strong beliefs on originality, he wishes to reassure his audiences that hard work and 100% effort has been put into all corners of his tracks, from crafting his own kicks, to using synth sounds he created within his own VST! With a passion for his study he continues to learn new aspects of music each day, also ready and extremely enthusiastic for what the future holds.

Dan Ready describes “Lissom” as the bridge of genres he had recently taken. Sliding into a deeper sound of house with thick, space-filling chords creating a dark vibe, evolving bright filters building tension whilst contrasting with the chords, industrial-like sound effects which give the track a Warehouse vibe.  A simple but effective saxophone riff which is re-enforced by tamed plucks play throughout the breaks of the track giving the listeners a short breath of fresh air. With a final touch of male and female vocal hooks, the picture that he wanted ‘Lissom‘ to create was complete.

Dan Ready - Lissom (Original Mix) | [Ritual Music: 15th Jan 2012] by Dan Ready

I heard Dan Ready’s track on Soundcloud and immediately felt the need to share his finished masterpiece with the world, as I loved it the moment I heard it. I was impressed with his musical profile, his determination to succeed but most of all his motivation and enthusiasm. This DJ/Producer has a positive and fresh outlook on life, his studies and his future productions.

‘Lissom’ is due for release on Beatport on the 15th January by Ritual Music.

Christian Alvarez - Ghetto Boy

Christian Alvarez from Vancouver has released his ‘Ghetto Boy‘ EP on his own label Delecto Recordings, which includes remixes from Soledrifter and Bryan Jones.

Christian Alvarez "Ghetto Boy" (Original Mix) - Delecto (Out Dec 19) by DJ Christian Alvarez

Bryan Jones is recognized as one of the top 45 of ‘Chicago’s Most Powerful People In Music’ by NewCity Chicago magazine – alongside the likes of worldwide hip hop star Kanye West and techno innovator Jeff Mills – Bryan Jones is considered one of the most exciting members of the city’s new breed.

As a solo artist, Jones made his big mark with the 2006 underground house classic ‘Chicago Jack’. The record remains his most successful to date and catapulted him into the conscious of discernable house DJs, while also creating further work for Hed Kandi, Ministry of Sound, Om, Ultra, Nordic Trax and Aroma amongst others!

Along the way Jones has remixed huge artists like Kaskade, Joey Negro, Todd Edwards, Kid Creme, Harrison Crump and Angel Alanis. These remixes, along with his original productions, have been licensed to countless DJ mix compilations the world over. His wide reaching sound has been championed by the cream of the underground house community such as Mark Farina, Derrick Carter and DJ Sneak, through to household names Pete Tong, Paul van Dyke and Judge Jules.

I heard Bryan Jones ‘Ghetto Boy‘ remix last night when he followed me on Soundcloud.  The track insisted I got up and moved with the groove and I was immediately hooked. If random boogies are not your forte, then hang on tight to your seats now, because this track is one hell of a ‘Jackin’ groove monster.

Danso - Rhythm Of The Night

Danso aka Edwin Danso, is a Rapper & Producer signed to Myish Music. He has featured on eight Universal Records compilation Cd’s and has two Mixtapes to his name so far. Next year is set to be a big year for the South London Rapper/Producer with the release of his debut album S.O.W (Son Of William).

I recently heard his music on Soundcloud and his track ‘Danso’s Imagination‘ gained my attention, as it stretched my musical comfort zone; there was something about the vocals that hooked me in.  I’m not a huge Dubstep fan however, the introduction is dramatic and the vocals were captivating enough to maintain my interest.

Danso's Imagination by DansoMusic

Danso recently uploaded ‘Rhythm of the Night‘ which Danso informs us is a track from his forthcoming album S.O.W – Son of William in 2012.

Rhythm Of The Night by DansoMusic

I requested a brief interview from Danso, to discover his influences and what his plans are for 2012.

How long have you been producing/rapping?

I’ve been producing since I was 16 and writing/rapping since I was 11. I’ve always been into music… I started off with House and Garage then moved on to Rap and Hip Hop.

Who are your major influences?

I have been influenced by a host of different artists and a number of different genres. My main inspiration though has come from artists such as Jay Z and Nas. I’ve also found the mechanical aspects of Daft Punk and Dizzee Rascal/Kanye West to be highly influential in my delivery and in the way I seek to organise my music artistically. I could go on and on as music is my passion, I listen and find beauty and major influences in so many artists! Those mentioned are but to name a few!

What ignites the spark in your soul?

Great composition! I remember sitting in my room listening to classical music as a teenager, listening to how it was put together and losing myself in the ambiance.

What are your goals for 2012?

To release my album  Son of William and singles and also launch my sister Miss Angel as the newest R&B sensation!

Miss Angel - To The Beat (Freestyle) by DansoMusic

I also want to be as successful as I can possibly be! Therefore I cannot fail… to always keep God as my best friend and party like I’m too old to remember, and too young to care!

What has been the highlight of your musical career so far?

The 2 main highlights of my career so far would be shooting a music video in Spain. We went twice this summer, also went back to do some shows in Marbella.

The second would be featuring on 8 Universal Records compilation Cds.. for me that’s a great accomplishment .

Buzzin Media looks forward to the release of Danso’s S.O.W (Son of William) album. Watch this space!
