Pressing Plays

Posted on the 18 June 2011 by Pelski

Ahead of Yuksek's new album, the Gucci Vump boys have coined the remix duty. This time their casual sway of house is interspersed by the rattle of a UK Funky rhythm, only to be interrupted by Yuksek's vocal about being 'On A Train' - (Check out the Yuksek's official video here, where you can enjoy an interstellar train journey with the man himself. I would certainly be more compelled to trust in British Rail, if we all had tickets for Yuksek's Skyline Express).
The Gucci Vump boys (Brodinski and Guillaume from The Shoes) have added a staple atmospheric 80's esque filter effect to the vocal, which is nicely carried by a slightly comercial electro dubb bass line.

Frag Maddin has physically gripped the all consuming bloggersphere by the reigns, handing us his blend of special treatment house music on a regular and healthy basis. Once again he's back with another cracking hand out - and this time it's a three track mpfree e.p called 'Hats & Drive'. So far I'm really sold on 'Sternbrücke', which manages to encapsulate a warm TEED esque bass line, only to jump knee deep into some chunky rave stabs.

I just grabbed this one from Feel My Bicep today, and I can't stop playing it. I'm happy to reiterate the strong words of the Bicep that this is going to be a big summer tune. It speaks in volumes, conjuring up your glory days on the disco floor, with one of the meatiest snare hits I've heard in a while. Brought from  down under, the south of the equator Future Classic crew have already smashed over 5,000 plays on soundcloud. Be sure to press play too.
