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.

With quality releases on big labels like Traum Schallplatten, TRAPEZ, VIVa MUSiC, Kling Klong, Material Series, Plastic City, Flash and many more, Sascha has gained a reputation in the national and international Tech house scene. The next track on the EP “Companero” will have you drumming the nearest surface to you. The rhythm and drums are powerful and outstanding and will definitely keep the masses on their feet!

His deep and sophisticated DJ sets are influenced by various styles of music, but always very danceable and well accepted among the demanding party crowd. Sascha’s great DJ skills and his knowledge of how to get the crowd going, brought him a lot of international bookings. He has played worldwide, including Germany, France, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Romania, Austria and Egypt. The track on the EP is “Zoo” which I have to say may please some ladies in the house. The male vocals are incredibly hot and combined with the groove, will definitely raise the temperature in the big room or the ladies special room!

In the summer season Sascha lives at the „heart of electronic music“ the Balearic island Ibiza, where he performs at famous Clubs and some exclusive Underground and Beach Locations. At the beginning of 2010 he founded his own record label, SICKNESS RECORDS. The final track “Xulu” is a tribal gathering waiting to happen and guaranteed to please the masses with yet more powerful percussion and amazing tribal vibes.

On hearing this EP today on Soundcloud, I was without doubt I wanted to share the incredible energy of this EP. I was extremely impressed with the power of the percussion and vocals and have no doubt the EP will be played at many global gatherings!

Stelios Vassiloudis - SAMUEL L SESSIONS REMIXES - Reaching

From ambient soundscapes, downtempo vocal tracks and slo-mo house, through to deliciously deep house, tech-house and acid grooves, “It Is What It Is” is the supremely exciting debut artist album from Stelios Vassiloudis, out now on Bedrock.

“Reaching” is House Music that is deeply sophisticated, oozing spacious melodic beauty, ebbing and flowing with supreme ease. As with the whole album, it feels like a truly inspired journey to the heart, mind and soul of an extremely talented musician, producer and DJ.

These two new Stelios remixes of “Reaching” are bound to tantalise your musical taste buds. The “Dub” is essentially a more club-friendly version of the album cut and stays quite true to the originals elements and overall vibe while giving it some more momentum and dynamics. With his “ Dub” Stelios has given himself more artistic licence to push the boundaries, giving “Reaching” an exciting, completely different twist.

“I’ve been a huge fan of Samuel L Sessions’ productions for many years so I’m really excited to have him remix one of the tracks from my album. I had a good feeling that “Reaching” would be well suited to Samuel’s production style and I think the end result emphatically confirms it.” – Stelios Vassiloudis

Sweden’s Samuel Larsson (aka Samuel L Sessions) is a globally respected Techno producer whose releases on Soma, Drumcode and Music Man (as well as his own SLS, Cycle, and Klip Klap labels) are stuff of legend for many of the world’s top DJs.

Here, his superb “Deep” and “Jackin’” remixes of “Reaching” are concise, powerful and extremely hypnotic. This is music to make your dancefloor erupt with energy!

Bedrock Records and Stelios Vassiloudis vibes and groove are deep enough to keep you fixed to the big room dance floor, however, they also have the power to bring ‘house harmony into your home’ 24/7!

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).

“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.

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.

'What You Need' - Groove Addix Feat Adrienne Nails

Groove Addix, consisting of producers Sean Grasty and DJ Rikky Rivera, two guys from NYC who are rocking the House Music scene at the moment and are true ambassadors for the cause. Here they team up with producers Sudad G and DJ Geehan for this outstanding track which, if you have a Groove Addix-tion, forget about going ‘cold turkey’ over Christmas; this is exactly ‘What You Need‘. The track combines Old Skool House with up to date vibes which groove in every sense of the word and will definitely have you grooving in every direction. Solar Sounds are absolutely delighted to have Groove Addix on board and think you will agree there could not be a better way of partying out 2011, whilst looking forward to an Olympic Groove 2012 with Groove Addix and many more very talented artist/producers.

The gorgeous vocal on ‘What You Need’ belongs to Adrienne Nails, which incredibly is her debut house vocal! There is no doubt she will be doing a lot more, as her voice is definitely suited to the genre. Adrienne Nails has worked with some of the best including Gladys Knight. Here she delivers a sublime vocal with soul written all over it.

Groove Addix Feat Adrienne Nails-What You Need-Preview by Solar Sounds (Label)

On the remixes BBwhite gives us a funky wobbly bassline that drives the track on. This is coupled with synth stabs that punch right out of the speakers. The whole track just makes you want to get up and dance. BB is a regular on Solar Sounds and has become one of the most prolific remixers around today.

Next up on the EP is Yohann Levems, he gives a modern progressive take on the track. He uses the vocal really well as he wraps around it with his own special style of house which will be massive in 2012. This is one for the Mainroom.

Finally but by no means least is Gareth (Saint George) Williams. Gareth is a regular DJ at the Ministry of Sound. His remix provides an old skool mixed with new progressive style. I love the classic organ sounds on this, as the track keeps on picking you up and then dropping you on the floor ready for some more. There is no doubt this will be rocking you in the Ministry, as well as other mainroom venues worldwide for sometime to come.

Marco Bailey 'Oriental Concept EP'

Its been a big year for Marco Bailey on John Digweed’s Bedrock label, his critically acclaimed ‘Dragon Man’ (BEDMB01) artist album kicked off 2011 in style and was a big success, as was his 4-Track EP (BEDDIGIMB01) in the summer that featured ‘Faint Hope’, ‘Sa Trinxa’, ‘Bom Bang!’ (Deepfunk Remix) and the massive ‘Rubber Band’ (Dave Angel Remix). Now he returns for a final instalment in 2011 with his ‘Oriental Concept EP’, which features an amazing remix from Germany’s Alexander Kowalski.

Marco Bailey - Lotus by Bedrock Records

‘Lotus’ with its clever melodic percussion and hissing beats has instant anthemic appeal, providing a very stylish blueprint for Alexander Kowalski to expand upon for his huge, uplifting, emotive and deeply delicious, techno interpretation. Kowalski elegantly fuses elements from classic Detroit and the historical Berlin techno sound, breathing new life into Techno.

Marco Bailey - Lotus ( Alexander Kowalski Remix) by Bedrock Records

Meanwhile, ’K4west’ is pure big room club hedonism at its best from Marco Bailey and ‘Oriental Disco’ has lashings of joyous Ibiza attitude that will keep the sun shining through the winter months no matter how cold and miserable the weather gets! Enjoy!

Marco Bailey - K4west by Bedrock Records
