Stereoheroes - Exiles

This may be old news to most of yall but I finally got around to listening to the Stereoheroes' new EP "Exiles" out on Freakz Me Out Records and it straight crushes. It's particularly epic in regards to the fact that I haven't heard anything like this stuff from these boys since I first got into them. Regardless of that, this EP is chock full of songs that will push people off the ground and something I couldn't just let slip by. All the originals are tight with Nighthawk and Longshot putting it down hard enough to make them my favorite tracks of the whole release. This is not to say that Blatta & Inesha's touch on Nighthawk or Le Castle Vania's remix of Wildchild should be ignored. And that's the best part of this EP: It's all good. So check it out below. They put the whole thing up on soundcloud for preview before you go on over to Beatport to pick it up, which I recommend you do. Dropping these tracks in a set will make people go fucking nuts.

NEW Justice: Civilization

The Cross is back! After so long we hear some new Justice. This time the track Civilization comes as part of an Adidas campaign. You can check out the track along with the video, directed by no other than Romain Gavras below (and we all know how good these two can be together..ahem Stress). The track will be available through Ed Banger, of course, on April 4th, so don't miss its full length release. I like it, it is Justice, it is chill, it has a great combo of vocals and synths, and is very well put together,  lets just hope tracks to come can be more "stressful."



New Justice, new Sebastian, new MSTRKRFT, 2011 could be the new 2007 for electro. I recommend you check in with us often, because we will definitely keep you posted on these upcoming releases and more.

On a similar note, we also have the return of another great producer that has been absent from our pages for over a year. Le Castle Vania is back with a very sick D.I.M remix, one of his best by far. Check it out!

Also check out his Bulletproof Tiger Mixtape Vol. 2, with many more unreleased SICK tracks like Awake (feat. Desire).

Let that Shit KNOCK

It is on boys and girls. I've been drowning in new music and I'm back from the depths with a treasure chest full of giant beats and the heaviest of bass. I apologize for the absence but I hope this makes up for it.

First up I want to talk about Circus Records's Flux Pavilion. I talked about him a bit ago saying I was going to give him a proper listen once I found some time. Well I found some time and let me tell you, this dude is ill. Though he may look a little goofy, dude has some crazy good vision for dub songs. Normalize is just plain brilliant, drivey, catchy, and fun as hell to listen to without losing it's grime. His more recent Got 2 Know is one of the best songs I've heard in a long time. Not only that, but his song with Datsik, another gifted dub-step dj, is just top notch. Really just destroys your head with some rhythmic, heavy, heavy bass. Honestly, I'm surprised there hasn't been more talk about him. Check out the tracks I mentioned and I'll even throw in my favorite Datsik track, working with Excision, just for you. Because I care.

Next up we have some tracks I picked up from a blog favorite, Atlanta's finest Le Castle Vania. Mnuel did a wonderful little post about him right before we saw his show here in Portland at the Whiskey Bar. He put on one of the most phenomenal shows I've seen here and Portland and if he's in your area I strongly suggest you get messed up and check it out. Super chill guy and one of the better dj's on the scene in the U.S. His remix of La Roux's In For The Kill is gracious and the remix collaboration he does with previously mentioned Computer Club, awesome L.A. Dj, and Atlanta's Rrrump is heavy and obviously helped by the underlying Designer Drugs track. Your ears will thank you.

La Roux - In For The Kill (Le Castle Vania Remix) (320kbps)
Designer Drugs - Back Up In This (Le Castle Vania, Computer Club and Rrrump remix) (320 kbps) (Removed)♥

I picked up some tracks from Marine Parade's Marty Party. I'm impressed. Really great dub. I'm going to check him out further but here's a remix of The XX and an original to wet your appetite. Looks like he'll be working with Josh Mayer (Not John Mayer), better known as Glitch Mob's Ooah, to create PANTyRAiD. More on that to come.

Marty Party - Shorty (192 kbps) (Removed)

Last up, for those of you who think the previous just wasn't quite cuttin' it on the filthiness, then these tracks should make you feel dirty enough to want a chemical bath. The dutch dj's Noisia are bringing it down and they aren't leaving till the building is decimated. Just tune in and you'll hear what I'm talking about. The 16bit remix is extra grimy.

Noisia - B.R.U.L. (320 kbps)

Bonus:
Didn't want to waste your time with getting in too deep for these songs but they're all phenomenal. I especially wanted to post the Owl City Fireflies remix by MightyFools. Anyone who can trade that trash in and come out with not only a decent song but actually a damn great one deserves some big ups.

Le Castle Vania Comes to PDX!

This post is for those electro loving Portlanders that suffer whenever great djs (as usually happens) skip the NW on their US tours. Dylan Eiland, a.k.a. Le Castle Vania, is a dj/producer most of you should have heard of by now. Coming from Atlanta's indie-electro scene in 2006, Le Castle Vania has taken his act abroad and played along side HUGE names like Justice and Soulwax just to mention a few. His self-proclaimed disco house sound seems in my opinion too short and general when describing Le Castle Vania's trashy, yet filled with right-on-spot light synths remixes and orginal material. Here are three good reasons not to miss this guy on Saturday February 27th @ the Whiskey bar in Portland:

Le Castle Vania-No Body Gets Out Alive! (320 kbps)

Fukkk Offf- Rave Is King (Le Castle Vania Remix) (320 kbps)

Grum- Go Back (Le Castle Vania Remix) (320 kbps)

Le Castle Vania is also involved with Blake Miller in the side project Lies In Disguise, not superior to Dylan's solo project but still worth some attention:

Meet Your Replacement- Lies In Disguise (320 kbps)

Shinichi Osawa- Electro411 (Lies in Disguise Remix) (320 kbps)

To wrap up the post here is good edit of D.A.N.C.E. by Blake Miller, who used to associate with Dim Mak Records through an old shared project called Weird Science with Steve Aoki and Justin Bates:

Justice- D.A.N.C.E. (Blake Miller is Ruthless vs Sickboy Edit) (320 kbps)

Weird Science- Haus of Cards (Original Mix) (320 kbps)
