Chromeo - White Women

 

The Funklordz are back! One of my personal favourite bands are back with a brand new album that is packed with so much funk that your booty might go into funk overdose and slip into a funk-induced coma. The LP seems to have arrived at the perfect time, where disco inspired dance music is having a comeback thanks to artists like Daft Punk. 

Chromeo return with one of their best albums yet, apparently two years in the making. Man oh man, I have been listening to this shit like non-stop ever since it came out last Monday (12 May) and have not gotten over it. If 80's inspired electro-funk grooves are your thang, then Chromeo is for you. Their fourth release encapsulates and hones their distinct sound, a modern interpretation of 80's funk with 70's disco elements, and is catchy as shit! These guys have really polished their sound, and one can hear immediately upon listening that this album has been lovingly and expertly crafted and each subtle nuance is perfectly timed and executed. It's difficult for me to talk about this album without using the word 'funk' like a million times, but its just so fucking funkeh! 

The album has everything, slow soulful ballads (check out their collaboration with Solange, Lost On The Way Home, beautiful stuff), to catchy cheeky dance grooves (see Sexy Socialite, my top track of 2013!), club-friendly pop numbers like Jealous (I Ain't With It), songs from the perspective of seductive flight attendants (Frequent Flyer), Nile Rogers-style guitar jams (Somethingood) and odes to karaoke machines (Old 45s). Each song has a neat little concept usually revolving around some hot babe, and lead singer Dave1 swooning over his trials and tribulations encountered in the pursuit, as always with his distinct vocal stylings that find that sweet spot between cheesy and silky smooth stylish. Add to that producer P-Thugg's nu-age electro disco beats and you've got a perfect recipe for straight up 10 outta 10 funktronica! Check out some of the singles below, and download this album now!

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!

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!

Bittereinder - Kwaad Naas

Getting local today with South African alternative Afrikaans rap group Bittereinder. I am a bit late with posting this one but give me a break, I only checked it the other day. It's the music video for their latest single off their most recent album Dinkdansmasjien (Think-Dance-Machine). The track is called Kwaad Naas (how South African people pronounce "quite nice") and has a very bouncy crunchy and infectious electro beat, quite lekker if you ask me, but that's because it's produced by beat-wizard Peach Van Pletzen aka Yesterday's Pupil (blogged about in Feb) who makes up one third of Bittereinder. The song also features a rap from none other than lead singer of South African indie band Desmond and the Tutus, Shane Durrant. Love the video, love the track, love the lyrics, love local, kiff my bru's. Tshek it out my chinas:
