SNOOP DOGG – Der Hip Hop Doggfather ist zurück!

An der neuen Download Single “Sweat” (“Wet”) von Black Music Kultstar Snoop Dogg führt momentan kein Weg vorbei. Der Track ist eine Coop mit dem Dance-Produzenten und nebenbei derzeit vermutlich bekanntesten House DJ der Welt, David Guetta. David Guetta verliebte sich direkt beim ersten Hören in den Track und wollte ihm seinen eigenen Stempel aufdrücken. Er kontaktierte Snoop und das Ergebnis der Zusammenarbeit wird garantiert im Radio genauso einschlagen wie in den Clubs.

Auf Doggumentary sind 21 fette Tracks, wie z. B. der fantastische Titel “Platinum” mit R. Kelly. Namhafte Produzenten wie Kanye West , Lex Luger, Scoop DeVille und Scott Storch haben auf dem Album Hand angelegt und unter den musikalischen Gästen finden sich so überraschende Gesichter wie Bootsy Collins, Gorillaz und Willie Nelson und weitere prominente Namen wie Jeezy, E-40, Wiz Khalifa und John Legend.

Danny Tenaglia:

Zouk will hold four consecutive parties in celebration of their 20th birthday, beginning on April 13th.

Long at the forefront of electronic dance music in Asia, the Zouk brand has today established itself as Singapore’s best loved and most recognized techno club. Aside from nights held at their own venues (including Velvet Underground and Phuture), the club also runs the annual ZoukOut festival, which last year celebrated its tenth anniversary, attracting over 20,000 punters.

In April, the club will stage four consecutive nights, paying homage to their 20 years of history. Starting the proceedings will be another edition of their infamous Mambo Jambo theme night, followed by Dutch trance DJ Armin van Buuren the next night. Friday 15th April will be reserved for One World, One Music, One Tribe, One Dance, with no lineup announced as of yet, and veteran New York selector Danny Tenaglia, who recently celebrated the milestone of his 50th birthday, will round out celebrations on the Saturday.

Walt Disney Records have revealed details for Tron: Legacy Reconfigured, a collection of dance remixes of the original music from the movie.

After the success of the original soundtrack from last year’s 3D blockbuster, an eclectic cast of artists have been enlisted to reshape Daft Punk original cuts. The new album was produced by Walt Disney music president Mitchell Leib and Jason Bentley, who also oversaw the original music. The 15-track compilation features reworks from veterans Moby and The Crystal Method, as well as Swedish young DJ gun Avicii. “This is the most natural and respectful extension of our TRON soundtrack legacy and one which embraces the electronica club roots of its artistic invention,” said Leib ahead of the release. “Now the entire world can dance to the sounds of THE GRID.”

Tracklist

01. Derezzed (The Glitch Mob Remix)

02. Fall (M83 VS Big Black Delta Remix)

03. The Grid (The Crystal Method Remix)

04. Adagio for TRON (Teddybears Remix)

05. The Son of Flynn (Ki:Theory Remix)

06. C.L.U. (Paul Oakenfold Remix)

07. The Son of Flynn (Moby Remix)

08. End of Line (Boys Noize Remix)

09. Rinzler (Kaskade Remix)

10. Encom Part 2 (Com Truise Remix)

11. End of Line (Photek Remix)

12. Arena (The Japanese Popstars Remix)

13. Derezzed (Avicii Remix)

15. TRON Legacy (End Titles) (Sander Kleinenberg Remix)

Ultra Naté:

One of the tricks of vocal house is how that vocal sounds over different types of backing. Who better to showcase a few than Ultra Naté, best known for her big, deserved 1997 diva classic Ultra Nate – Free ? The original version of “Turn It Up” is effortlessly built, but the chorus is its weakest point—the close-voiced, quick-sung up-and-down part, specifically. I do like the verses, though—the Auto-tune layers are judicious and give an already sheeny performance some extra shine. The Thrillers’ original production may have a hyperglow too slick even for latter-day yacht-funk revivalists, but this is just as much a record in a tradition.

The remixes vary, none more so than Paul Oakenfold‘s: dance veterans gotta stick together, clearly. In much the way the song itself does, the Oakie version starts piano-heavy and promising and then heads straight to the cheese barrel on the gauzy, arpeggiated chorus. Similarly the mix by Ruff Loaderz Vs. Scott Giles mines a fairly lean, crackling style on the verses but goes soft on the hook (which removes the verses’ tautness), and Ruben Mancias and Raffia Scoccia whip the original’s most glistening aspects into aural meringue.

Wawa’s two remixes aim for the mall discos with even more gusto. I don’t care for the electro one, but Wawa’s club mix is a great lesson: just because something is déclassé doesn’t void it of pleasure. He stuffs the track so full of up-with-jelly-bracelets synth gewgaws that he even gets me to like the chorus. So does the simpler MuthaFunkaz version, a simple, swinging-as-fuck piano-organ gospel-fiery thump that reminds me of the Masters at Work that once made small touches seem huge.

Luciano ready for Monegros 2011

Born in 1978, Luciano is a DJ since 1993 and a producer since 1997. In the mid-90′s, he was promoting Sense Club and Encuentros con la Technocultura in Santiago de Chile in the company of many initiators of the Latin American electronic music scene: Senor Coconut AKA Atom Heart, Ricardo Villalobos, Dandy Jack & brother Adrian Schopf, Washington Miranda, Argenix Brito, Microman etc.

The first of over 50 artists have been announced for this year’s Monegros Festival, which takes place this July in the northeast of Spain.

Now in its 17th year, Monegros has a reputation for star-studded line ups that draw from house, techno, hip hop, drum & bass and dubstep. Set in the midst of the barren Monegros desert, this 40,000 attendee behemoth of a party runs for 20 hours straight, from Saturday afternoon until 1PM the next day. In this initial announcement the organisers focus mainly on 4/4 beats, with Cadenza boss Luciano topping the bill. Other DJs include Steve Aoki and electro superstar Boys Noize.

Along with Berliner Paul Kalkbrenner, Vitalic is one of three live acts confirmed. He’ll be delivering an updated version of his retina-burning “V Mirror” light show. Adding a bit of variety to the bill are drum & bass/dubstep/electro mash-up artists, Dirtyphonics.

Freerange Colour Series: Violet 08 Sampler

Freerange Records

(Mic Newman / Jimpster / Arithmetics / Martin Patiño)

Freerange Records are very happy and proud to be celebrating our 15th birthday this year which also coincides rather nicely with this, our 150th release – the Colour Series: Violet 08 Sampler. For this rather special milestone we thought what better way than to do as we have always done and present a handpicked selection of top quality dancefloor tracks from some of our current favourite producers. The four brand new exclusive cuts stay true to the Freerange aesthetic by keeping the emphasis on deep, warm, modern house music without ever losing sight of the roots and reason we fell in love with this music in the first place.

Kicking off we have Melbourne’s finest Mic Newman stepping up with Filthy Forever, a raw and pumping high energy track straight out of the MCDE school of disco meets hip hop meets dirty old-school house.

Next up we have Jimpster with a track entitled Cloudwalking – a low slung, swampy and slightly acidic little number complete with trippy warped out vocal samples tailor made for those special moments on the late night floors.

Flip over for The Faint Of Heart by Arithmetics, better known as Matt Masters and Pezzner who collectively deliver a lovely track laden with chiming synth arpeggiations and building pads on top of a deep house groove.

Finally, we have the pièce de résistance in the form of Martin Patiño’s Make Love. This is a very special track which has been raising roofs wherever Martin and Jimpster have been playing it from Johannesburg to Berlin to Tokyo. Layers of ostinato orchestral strings build gradually over the course of the piece getting increasingly intense with the energy levels being hightened further by the lack of any kick drum throughout the entire track teasing the dancefloor into submission. A real classic in the making we feel.
