Booka Shade - Love Drug

German dance music pioneers Booka Shade have just released their Love Drug EP, featuring remixes of the title track that featured on their late 2013 album Eve. I haven't heard many EPs where I like all the remixes of a track but this is definitely an exception. With super cool vocals from Fritz Helder of Azari & III, the track is remixed by a number of big names such as Maya Jane Coles, Booka Shade themselves, Andre Crom, Chi Thanh and Animal Trainer. Every remix brings something completely new to the tune but the freshness and grooviness is never lost. Some deeper, some more mellow, some more bouncy. One thing is guaranteed, you will dance to this lovely tunage. Favourite remix? Has to be Booka's Red Light Mix. Super groovy baby! Give it to me!

Thursday Stumble Vol. 4

Oh man, first off I would like to apologise on behalf of SSSB for being so quiet. We have been really busy studying and running our illegal Mozambiquean Tupperware import business. But nevertheless, the return of the Thursday Stumble is here (albeit on a Saturday, but I started writing it on a Thursday so it still counts!). This week's stumble sees me slipping into the deep end. I am usually not that big a fan of the deep house sounds, but lately these funky deep beats have been speaking to me like Darth Vader - "Shayne, come to the deep side!". These tracks will move your booty to boombastic proportions. Also in this week's stumble, some electronic and tech stuff to move your booty equally, if not more. Enjoy!


Festival Girlfriend - Stockholm Syndrome (Download link)

Oh man! This tune has done things to my body that I could only reveal to my therapist. Deep vibes with electro elements and super sexy vocals. Definitely a must-have.


The 2 Bears - Be Strong (Download link)

This bouncy track is brought to you by none other than Hot Chip's Joe Goddard and his bear partner Raff Rundell. I really like the groovy funky bassline and the super catchy vocals about the love for the music.


Tiga & Jori Hulkkonen - Trust Your Body (Danny Daze Dub) (Download link)

This track blends elements of deep and tech in a way that I approve. Trust your body, your body never lies.


Justin Jay - The Jaguar (Download link)

This deep tune has a variety of tasty elements that come together to form a mellow yet groovy track, and the combination of instrumentation with the electronic elements works nicely.


Prince Club & Harvard Bass - Canixo (Download link)

Canixo is deep/tech number with a wonky bassline and an almost progressive-sounding build up. I think its cool. Do you?


Brodinski featuring Theophilus London - Gimme Back The Night (Download link)

This is a dark little party number from French producer Brodinski and one of my personal favourites Theophilus London. A deep pulsating bassline punctuated by TL's saucy Prince-like taunts.


The Hacker - Shockwave (Gesaffelstein Remix) (link removed)

Picked up this dirty electro child on the streets of Los Santos playing Grand Theft Auto 5. A heavy but crunchy tune that brought me much joy as I wreaked havoc on my Playstation.

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!

Hannah Wants

My goodness, Hannah Wants is amazing! Her Soundcloud page says the following "Hannah Wants is a self-taught house music DJ from Birmingham. She mixes a variety of house genres but her style is often heavily ‘bass’ influenced". I can definitely agree with that last phrase, bass in yo face!

I've seen Hannah Wants live and let me be honest, she is the business! I've known about her for a while but it seems that she's only recently gained the recognition she really deserves. Often teaming up with Chris Lorenzo, the two create beats that will shake your bones and definitely have you bobbing your head or going full crazy (if you're that type), either is acceptable!

These are my favourite Hannah Wants tracks! Some amazing stuff!

Hannah Wants and Chris Lorenzo feat Janai - Signs (Sunshine Mix)
Her latest track, and probably my favourite of them all. Very chilled. Great vocals! Amazing track!



IYES - Lighthouse ( Hannah Wants and Chris Lorenzo remix)
This one starts off slowly with some slow guitar and some neat vocals, but dont be fooled. The drop will smash you!



Hannah Wants and Chris Lorenzo - I Refuse
The genre on soundcloud states this as "Ghetto Bass". That pretty much says it all!



Hannah Wants and Chris Lorenzo - I Still Love You
Ahhh what a classic! I still love youuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!



Hannah Wants and Chris Lorenzo - Sick Sunshine
"This is sick"



Check out her Souncloud page for free downloads of some of her tracks and fresh mixes!

Tom Novy & Christopher Groove - (Like I'm Falling In) Love

Eric Christiansen - Cosmic Girl (Fabo arp remix)

This is by far my favourite type of deep house. Very bouncy and very simple! This track has some pretty weird vocals but overall the track is top notch! FABOlous remix

Touch Sensitive - Pizza Guy (Original Mix)

Sydney's Michael Di Francesco of Van She aka Touch Sensitive has produced an amazing synth pop/disco track. I've had this on repeat ever since I heard it and its got a really cool video too, where Michael Di Francesco (Touch Sensitive) is the pizza guy and drives around in his Ferrari delivering pizza boxes with vinyl in them. The customers all seem relatively satisfied. If I got this vinyl  in a pizza box I wouldnt complain either. Touch Sensitive delivering beats to the benefit of society. We definitely need more of this! (See Video Below)

Classic Track of The Week : Shonky feat Jennifer Cardini - Tuesday Paranoia (Jamie Jones Submerged House Mix)

It was probably the second time that I had ever been to a club that only played underground deep house and tech house and I heard this. Ya I went pretty crazy! This song is really hypnotizing, the vocals, the bassline and those "submerged" sounds throughout the track. Jamie Jones is a deep house legend. He also has a label called Hot Creations which continually releases some crazy shit! Favourite tracks of his? Tourist Trap, Say What and his remix of Hungry For The Power. Check check check check check check it out!

Weekend Wonders

Well it's been quite a while hasn't it? This will be a variety post, deep house, trance, electro and a bit of DnB (kinda). Lets not waste anymore time. Enjoy!

Pryda - Power Drive

The name of this track couldn't describe the song any better. Eric Prydz, the guy that made that track "Call On Me" about 10 years ago? If you don't remember it, its got that video of an aerorobics class of women in tights and one very happy guy. That pretty much sums it up. Yeah this is the same guy, just under his Pryda alter-ego. Let me tell you, this guy is definitely one of the best producers in dance music today! The production quality on his PRYDA album is unbelievable and this track is no different. "This makes me wanna punch a bear through a wall" (As seen on twitter). It's got a dark melodic build-up and then all of a sudden it drops into electro goodness!

DNS Project - Shatter/Gauntlet

Estonian Rene Pais aka DNS Project under Coldharbour recordings released an unbelievable two track EP. I honestly can't pick which one is better. Both are melodic trance masterpieces! Definitely will be listening to these for a long long time.

Maya Jane Coles feat Karin Park - Everything

The first single off her forthcoming album, Comfort. I love this so much. MJC's productions are always slick and this one is no different. "Everything" has one of the sickest basslines I've heard in a long time. Its a very dark yet very groovy deep house track. Bassssssss!!!

Atapy feat Louisahhh - Get Familiar (Original Mix)

So I was checking out my mates blog (www.deepjams.blogspot.com) (SICK BLOG, CHECK IT OUT!) and I came across this and it made me a very happy chap. I had to steal it, sorry mate ;) Huge wonky bassline and some wonderful vocals from Louisahhh. This is groovy and funky and I like it. You will also like it.

Sub Focus feat Alex Clare - Endorphins  

Sub Focus, aka Nick Douwma is back with another sick tune! I seem to enjoy the music this UK DJ makes, even though I'm not a big DnB/dubstep listener. Alex Clare, UK singer/songwriter takes care of the vocals which are very enjoyable. This song also has a video, which is also really cool. Really loving this! Check out the music vid!



Tommy Trash has taken care of the remix with his signature uplifting, festival kinda vibe. Also enjoying this! Good work Tommy!

Tronique

This is not something that happens everyday. I remember sitting in class at school with this mother-funker sharing tracks and watching him DJ at house parties.

After a year of Sound Engineering in Vancouver, Canada, Tronique released his first EP with a record label in Toronto - Don't Look Productions.

On Repeat. Tunage of the Week

Top down chillin'. Ideal for some new tunes. There were a few tunes that were on repeat for this week.

Mac Miller feat Kendrick lamar and Iman Omari - Fight The Feeling

Mac Miller makes some of the laid back hip-hop I've ever heard. And it's sick! Fight the Feeling is off his independent mixtape Macadelic released in March 2012. Produced by Iman Omari who also lays down the hook and Kendrick with another verse. I don't even need to talk about Kendrick's mad skills. Overall, sick track besides for the porno part at the end (good heavens!)

Download link: http://www9.zippyshare.com/v/46984938/file.html

BT - Skylarking (Original Mix)

Easily one of the beautiful and well produced progressive house/trance tracks I've ever heard. BT has been around forever and you can hear it in his production quality. Skylarking is almost 11 minutes long and it's a masterpiece. And that's the end of that.

Download link: http://mp3juices.com/search/bt-skylarking (Un-select "download with MP3 juices download manager)

Dinka & Leventina - Elements (2013 Reload)

Dinka and Leventina , two Swiss Dj's have taken their classic progressive track from 2010 and turned it into a track suitable for 2013. Its absolutely crazy!

Gabe - Downer (Original Mix)
This one is for all the deep house fans. This sick organ based deep house track has been played many times in the last week. You definitely have to turn the bass up for this one!

Deeeeeeeeeeep!

Yes indeed. Deep house. Literally. I often get over the deep house tunes that I have and then I'll go out and listen to deep house or a friend will play me some tunes, they'll blow my mind, I wont stop listening to them for weeks and then the process will start all over again. These tunes however will be smashed until I get old and wrinkly (which will be never). I highly suggest putting the volume on illegal levels and listening to these tracks with some decent speakers/earphones. Big shout out to my boy Guy Adam for providing me with some treats for my ears!

Outstrip - Home Thursday  

Ukrainian DJ's Anton Sever and Denis Borisov known as Outstrip have received massive support from the likes of Funkagenda, Richie Hawtin and Dubfire and have started their own label "Outstrip Music". This track reminds me somewhat of John Tejada's classic "The End of It All". This track is so mellow and so beautiful!

Luke Abbott - Modern Driveway

Luke Abbott's EP "Modern Driveway" came out in May last year. I'm glad that his "modern driveway" inspired him to make this tune. Its very spacey but once again, sick!

Alex Clare - Too Close (Herr Vogel edit)

This track has been remixed by so many DJ's but I havent heard anything like this Herr Vogel edit. Deep and funky fresh! Boom in the room!

Tozz's Top 5 Tunes of 2012

Whatsup young homies. I've been rather quiet on SSSB so far but things are about to change. 2012 was a great year for music and with difficulty I've chosen my top 5 in no particular order. Give them a listen!

 Skeleton Key by Pleasurekraft feat. Green Velvet

Pleasurekraft has a habit of making catchy tunes that you can't seem to get out of your head. Remember Tarantula? Personally I think Skeleton Key is his best work to date. This bouncy tech track with a massive bassline had me listening to it the whole year. The vocals sound like they come from a 1970's pimp daddy and the drop comes out of nowhere to smash you in the brain!

Pleasurekraft feat. Green Velvet - Skeleton Key (Original Mix) [Great Stuff]
 

Money Trees by Kendrick Lamar feat. Anna Wise & Jay Rock
If you enjoy hip hop and you havent heard this track by now then your life is a lie. Kendrick Lamar's Good Kid m.A.A.d City is a classic record and Money Trees is definitely the best song on the album. SSSB think this may be the best hip hop track of the year. Kendrick has one of the best flows I've heard and Anna Wise and Jay Rock make this track even better. It has an infectious hook over a beat that samples Beach House's track Silver Soul. That's just how I feel, Ya Bish!
Money Trees - Kendrick Lamar

 

Buzz Killington by Paul Thomas (Funkagenda Remix)
Dubstep is certainly not my favourite genre of dance music. To me 95% of it is noise, but some of it is pure gold. Buzz Killington is pure gold. Funkagenda normally sticks to the tech/progressive side of things but came out with this smashing melodic dubstep track. It took me a while to get into it but it's without a doubt one of the my all time favourites. The build up is huge and the drop is even bigger. Below is a preview. Massive!
Paul Thomas - Buzz Killington [Funkagenda Remix] [FF013] by Funkagenda

Adam Freeland - We Want Your Soul (Klangkarussell Remix)
Deep house over the last few years has grown massively in South Africa and there's some amazing deep house that's being produced at the moment. This track's vocals have an ideological undertone about the government and corporations that feed us information that inevitably leads to them controlling us. This an amazing track. Take a listen.
We Want Your Soul (Klangkarussell Remix) by Klangkarussell

Giuseppe Ottaviani feat. Betsie Larkin - Toys
If anyone went to watch Dash Berlin Godskitchen in South Africa last year you will remember that he opened with his own mashup of Toys and By The Way by Red Hot Chili Peppers. It was an unbelievable moment that I will never forget. This track is pure trance magic. Its near impossible to find this mashup but the original is just as good. Turn it up!
Giuseppe Ottaviani & Betsie Larkin - Toys
