Thursday Stumble Vol. 3

The time has come once again (Thursday that is) for me to share some bumping tracks that I've stumbled across on the interweb that is so vast and ever expanding. This week's selection includes some trap/bass, electro roboto vibes, deep house, French house and electronica to get your living room dancefloor ready to go. Perhaps even some tunes for that musical sanctuary we all know and love, the shower! Standard.

AlunaGeorge - You Know You Like It (DJ Snake remix) (free download)

A chilled bassy and spacey brand new remix from DJ Snake, kinda reminds me of Hold Yuh (Major Lazer remix) by Gyptian. Check out his much heavier Yeezus remix posted earlier this month here.

Oxford - Combo (free download)

A groovy disco type number similar to the work of one of my personal favourite French producers Yuksek, with a sumptuous bassline and some nice guitars that achieves a mellow yet funky vibe.

Kris Menace feat. Black Hills - Waiting For You (Oliver Remix) (Download link)

A funkeh little remix from SSSB favourites Oliver with their signature retro-yet-futuristic vibe.

Snakehips - Make It (free download)

A crazy trap/bass anthem with the right balance where it ain't too heavy but it ain't playin' round neither!

Kaytranada - Free Things In Life (Download link)

This is a super-dope head-boppin bass track to jam with the homies in your Cadillac, six woofers and four amps.

Levi - X-ing (free download)

This relatively unknown French producer's sound could be described as Kavinsky-lite (which is not a bad thing). Cool epic electronica that has a strange progression to it that seems to just work.

Faul feat. Wad Ad - Changes (free download)

Oh my days. This song is life changing. As a not-so-big fan of deep house, this is personally the best deep house song I've ever heard. So chilled and groovy with a beautiful chant of children singing and some silky smooth saxophone, this song is one of SSSB's best of the year without a doubt. Shout out to Deep Jams for discovering this masterpiece.

And there you have it for this Thursday's stumblization. Hope you enjoy the tracks and give some feedback!

Deadmau5

Probably the most controversial yet talented person in dance music, Deadmau5 is in the limelight again, this time for all the right reasons. In the last month he has posted a number of Soundcloud previews and a full length track called Suckfest 9001 which has an electro vibe to it, similar to that of his track Animal Rights with Wolfgang Gartner.

However, it is not this that interests me, nor the track called DROP DA BOMB (Outerspace mix) which basically disses the masses who have filled up the Beatport charts with tracks that sound so similar to Nari and Milani's "Atom". No. What interests me is the clip called Suite 02. Genre: "IdeaStep".

It's basically impossible to forget Strobe and the beautiful HR 8938 Cephei, two of my favourite Deadmau5 tunes. Suite 02 sounds like it could be a combination of these two tracks but yes, it's a preview and we have no idea what the drop might sound like. It could be the filthiest dubstep or it could be the most beautiful thing my young ears have ever heard. All I know is that when Deadmau5 turns up to make melodic progressive house music, there is simply no one better than him at it. So I guess we'll have to sit back and wait anxiously for the full, finished product.

The mau5 has also posted some very ambient sounding clips like "Suite 04b". Earlier today he also posted a very chilled out glitch hop/ liquid drum and bass/ ambient type track called "Entschuldigen Sie" (Spelled correctly) which is awesome!

Who knows, maybe he'll stick some of the clips together or maybe he won't finish any of them at all. Lets hope we hear some new full length Deadmau5 soon! We'll keep you updated!







Keep on dancin'!!

Dash Berlin & Alexander Popov feat Jonathan Mendelsohn - Steal You Away (Music Video)

Dash Berlin is definitely my favourite Trance DJ/producer and therefore my favourite of all time. His productions are always amazing and his live performances are absolutely unbelievable. Anyone who's seen Dash live will agree. There's a reason why he was ranked #7 in the 2012 DJ Mag Top 100 DJ's list and to be honest I think he should be ranked even higher. 

Back to the topic, Dash Berlin has teamed up with Alexander Popov and vocalist Jonathan Mendelsohn to create a typical Dash Berlin festival feel track. It doesn't disappoint. First played at EDC Chicago, this track apparently made the huge crowd go absolutely nuts. Quite understandable. A few hours ago, the official music video was released. Three women road-tripping to Vegas to watch Dash at EDC. Definitely on my bucket list!

To further treat your ears, here is Dash Berlins EDC Chicago set. Easily one of the best I've ever heard!

Yeezus

The polarizing new album from Kanye West was truly something unexpected from the mad genius, an album which doesn't have anything for the radio, nor anything for the clubs, nor anything for a casual listen on a Sunday afternoon, but rather a dark journey into the artist's manic vision. The album has an extremely dark tone, with a combination of seemingly bizarre influences ranging from industrial rock to acid house and techno to dancehall and other eclectic sounds.

The controversially-titled Yeezus is Kanye's most experimental and unorthodox release yet, and features the rapper at his most aggressive and dangerous. Filled with as many racially charged political statements as filthy lines about bad bitches, lyrically he takes the ironic position of "anti-celebrity" and music's king of controversy. However, whereas many contemporary artists try to create shock value for it's own sake, Kanye actually has the skills and motives to back it up. He claimed to not really care about selling records anymore, just releasing music that we can enjoy, and while I can safely say that most people will probably not enjoy this music, I know that I do (but then again, I am a giant fan of Kanye).

In all honesty, you have to listen to this album 3 or 4 times before it stops becoming such a jarring assault on the ears, but once you do you can really appreciate it for what it is. And what it is is Kanye's Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy turned even more dark and twisted, where he travels uncharted sonic territory in search of his own sanity, trying to escape the tabloids and the fame but never truly being able to anyway. It is an album which only Kanye West could have ever made, and it's tenacious 'anti-pop' attitude makes for some really hard-hitting music that throws traditional structure and musicality out the window in what could start a new movement in hip hop. Say what you want about Mr West and his massive ego, but he is still on the forefront of his genre and a musical force to be reckoned with in any capacity.



BONUS TRACK:

Check out this super fresh hard-hitting remix from French producer DJ Snake of New Slaves that takes Kanye's epic banging beat and turns it into a fricking bananas trap/bass dancefloor smasher, free download too! Thanks DJ Snake! Cobra venom on this one dude, will definitely destroy those Hampton houses and spouses and blouses.
