Finals are done for Westminster Students in Salt Lake City, Utah. So, that means I'm going to be posting a lot more. The house music keeps coming and coming, sometimes too fast. So today I've got 2012 tracks for you that I personally feel have surfaced, but not received enough recognition. Going to see First State next week at Ruby Skye in San Francisco, so I hope to return with a good review for you guys. Before we dive into these tunes I got for you, I always like to try and incorporate some news about my favorite radio station - Pete Tong on BBC Radio 1, (catch it live on Friday nights, and for seven days after it airs - for free stream!) Pete features Nicky Romero and Cedric Gervais on this most recent episode. Be sure to have a listen here: BBC Radio 1 w/ Pete Tong ft. Nicky Romero & 15 minutes of Fame w/ Cedric Gervais (<== One of the songs is being featured at the end of this post!)
Michael Woods, who I have seen live several times now, has got to be high on the list for most underrated house producers. This England native continues to put out hit after hit. (Airborne, No Access & Last Day On Earth are a few more recent ones to pay attention too if you missed them!) These two songs I got for you today are quite recent and I haven't heard them anywhere! Maybe it's because Michael Woods just picked up a new residency in San Francisco and the Americans aren't comfortable playing talent like his in their own sets! Either way, please enjoy "I Wish" & Warrior - Michael Woods.
Definitely returning with some Mord Fustang! As much as his UMF live performance weirded me out a little, he continues to be my top electro house producer. (/progressive? It's impossible to label spot on these days! Oh well, when I want something more electro-sounding, he's my guy.) He was given the Beatport Award "Breakthrough Artist of the Year," and he deserves it. His newest track Super Fever, it's classic Mord Fustang, it's been debuted and oddly, I haven't seen the social networks out of control on it! I hope you enjoy this one.
I've been a Chris Lake fan for quite some time now, I think he is one of the best DJs in the world. His producing is always top shelf; he's a humble Scot (even though he considers himself a brit - his favorite drink is Iron Bru - that's spoken like a true Scot!) I don't know how he ended up working with Lazy Rich on this track, but when this dropped I was playing it nonstop. Lazy Rich remixed Lake's "Sundown" and my guess is that it was good enough that Chris chose to make a track with him officially. Underrated track #4 today - "Stand Alone"
Finally, it's not underrated, but it was heard just recently on Pete Tong's Radio 1 show. New Thomas Gold! He's one of the hottest producers on the planet right now, and is practically family with the Size Matters clan, who seems to be killing the Beatport Top 10 with some single every time I look at it. (Make "Atom" #1 people!) This track however, is actually to be released on Refune records, I'm excited, you should be too. Here it is, remixing Miike Snow, Thomas Gold's version of "The Wave."
Hope you guys continue having a great weekend, shout outs to the boys at VCH, we're all doing our best to bring you some great music! Until next time,
