Find them hitting Austin, Texas later this month. Ian Mackintosh and Ben Braun are signed by Chop Shop Records.

Duck Sauce [Grand Steppin]

Posted on January 16, 2010 by adam @ aerial noise

I came across this mid-December but between school, christmas, and organizing new years… shit got busy.

Duck Sauce are awesome. The tandem that is A-Trak and Armand Van Helden never seem to disappoint. Their mixes are surreal and this new dandy is a real treat for hardwood floors everywhere. It’ll pick you up instantly and can be one of those tracks a party can peak at. Save it for those special occasions.

♫ Duck Sauce – Grand Steppin (Original Mix)

BONUS!

♫ Duck Sauce – Anyway

Marina & The Diamonds [Hollywood Remixes]

Posted on January 15, 2010 by adam @ aerial noise

Marina & The Diamonds are very busy lately. The group will release the new single Hollywood (Feb 1st) to the public. So far a number of promotional remixes have been released to go alongside it. The Juan Maclean and Fenech-Soler both pitched in. Marina and the crew have tour dates starting late January 2010 that will see them pass through much of the UK; if you get a chance hit em up. I also believe Fenech-Soler is in the area around the same time. So keep an ear out for that as well!

♫ Marina & The Diamonds – Hollywood (The Juan Maclean Remix)

♫ Marina & The Diamonds – Hollywood (Fenech-Soler Remix)

Ali Love [Tronik Youth Got The Love Mix]

Posted on January 14, 2010 by adam @ aerial noise

Travis from Big Stereo was all over Ali Love’s remixes last week. But why not? The track Love Harder is getting tons of attention across the blogosphere. It’s a classic electro-pop song with catchy verses. I think it’s Tronik Youth’s remix that sets the standard with a heavy disco vibe all while including Love’s soulful pop samples.

♫ Ali Love – Love Harder (Tronik Youth Got The Love Mix)

BONUS!

♫ Ali Love – Love Harder (Extended Version)

♫ Ali Love – Love Harder (Jaymo & Andy George’s Moda Mix)

♫ Ali Love – Smoke And Mirrors (In Flagranti Remix)

Isis [Avenue]

Posted on January 13, 2010 by adam @ aerial noise

Isis embarked on a little solo project, releasing a new track entitled Avenue. The frontwoman to Thunderheist has developed quite the name for herself in the electro ‘scene’ by lending a helping hand to other gigantic groups, including a couple assists on MANSION & MSTRKRFT tracks. Add another notch to her belt with this track as it is excellent!

♫ Isis – Avenue

BONUS!

♫ Mansion Feat. Isis – Tight As A Clutch

♫ MSTRKRFT feat. N.O.R.E & Isis – Bounce!

Russ Gabriel [El Juan]

Posted on January 12, 2010 by adam @ aerial noise

Russ Gabriel’s El Juan is an epic space odyssey adventure of house music. The synth is blended so well creating a lasting impression. So relaxing and smooth. Gabriel hails from Baden-Württemberg, Germany and is signed to ferox records. He hasn’t released anything in awhile so I’m hoping 2010 is a little more fruitful for him since he produces great disco melodies. Check out more samples at his myspace.

♫ Russ Gabriel – El Juan

CRJ Is Lost [Someone Help!]

Posted on January 11, 2010 by adam @ aerial noise

CRJ has disappeared! Everyone should be on the look out! I tried finding him at his usual spot, but *poof,* he vanished into the dangerous realm that is the internet. Luckily a few artifacts remain to remember him by. Where’d you go CRJ?

We Plants Are Happy Plants reintroduced the song Loverider back into society with a remix- one dirty, damn good remix. Ivory Tower on the other hand, is a cover of Giorgio Moroder’s legendary track from the Never-Ending Story!

♫ CRJ – Loverider (We Plants Are Happy Plants)

♫ CRJ – Loverider (With Thomas Dorian) (Original)

♫ CRJ – Ivory Tower

♫ CRJ – El3ph4nts Pt. 1 (Restored Version 2009)

♫ CRJ – Geometry Pt. 1 (Restored version 2009)

* Tobias from Dodselectro (brilliant site) just informed us that CRJ turned his solo project into a partnership with Thomas Dorian under the alias, Human Contact. It’s a scary thing when you lose track of an artist and all of a sudden you’re in the dark again so thanks Tobias for the intel.

Robot Science [Doodads]

Posted on January 10, 2010 by adam @ aerial noise

Robot Science just released their brand spankin’ new album in, doodads. All the stuff I’m hearing from it is excellent- and I mean excellent. We have three new tracks from the album to showcase today and all are exceptionally good! Robot Science is relatively unknown and hails from California. He incorporates a lot of interesting sounds into his music but don’t worry, it’s nothing that will aggravate you. Rather the music is extremely melodic in a twisted sense, because the tempo’s throughout each piece remain rather upbeat with all the tweets and effects. Watch out for Robot Science throughout 2010.

♫ Robot Science – You Are A Person

♫ Robot Science – The Constant

♫ Robot Science – Copy Paste

Designer Drugs [Remixes]

Posted on January 9, 2010 by adam @ aerial noise

Designer Drugs are one of my favourite producers who have the amazing ability to create club remixes so penetrating, you’ll go home wanting what you just heard. People thrive off their bass heavy remixes and hypnotic rhythm. To help bring in the new year I tossed in some of the more notable tracks to come across our speakers the last few years.

* Canadian tour dates to be aware of this Jan 14-16, 2010 in Kingston, Edmonton, and Winnipeg. More info here.

♫ Jupiter One – Countdown (Designer Drugs Remix)

♫ Annie – Anthonio (Designer Drugs Remix)

♫ N.A.S.A. feat. Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Karen O. & Fat Lip – Strange Enough (Designer Drugs Radio Edit Remix)

♫ HEARTSOFREVOLUTION – Switchblade (Designer Drugs Remix)

♫ Avian X – Dark Circles (Designer Drugs Remix)

♫ Mariah Carey – I’ll Be Lovin’ U Long Time (Designer Drugs Remix)

♫ IAMX – Spit It Out (DESIGNER DRUGS REMIX Extended Version)

♫ Designer Drugs – Back Up in This (Don Rimini Lock Up Remix)

♫ Little Boots – Meddle (Designer Drugs 80s Coke Jam remix)

♫ Designer Drugs- ZOMBIES!

Alan Palomo [What A Genius]

Posted on January 8, 2010 by adam @ aerial noise

Damn, I miss Ghosthustler! They delivered powerful, influential beats that swallowed me up in my first year of university. Everything I came across was mint. But to my demise, the band disappeared to the depths of history. Yet, Alan Palomo continues to spread the original vibe through his solo alias VEGA, and in the relatively new project in Neon Indian. Palomo’s original stuff in Ghosthustler- like the new stuff he touches today, is wow, excessively good and simply revolutionary.

So with that we recap the newest from each, all while giving a little shout out to the past. I still say the rawness in Ghosthustler is unmatched in the heavier electro ‘scene’ found today (or whatever you would call it).

So who is Alan Palomo?

Ghosthustler: (an original member)

♫ Ghosthustler – Someone Else’s Ride

♫ Ghosthustler – Parking Lot Nights

♫ Ghosthustler – Only Me To Trust

♫ Ghosthustler – Losing Tracks

♫ Ghosthustler – Busy, Busy, Busy

VEGA: (solo)

♫ VEGA – Well Known Pleasures

♫ VEGA – No Reasons

♫ Nightwaves – She’s Electric (VEGA Italo Dub)

Neon Indian: (rep’n 1/2 the greatness)

♫ Neon Indian – Mind, Drips

♫ Neon Indian – Mind, Drips (Mirror People Remix)

♫ Neon Indian – Deadbeat Summer

♫ Neon Indian – Should Have Taken Acid With You

♫ Neon Indian – Terminally Chill

♫ Grizzly Bear – Cheerleader (Neon Indian ‘Studio 6669′ Remix)

Ichisan [Singles]

Posted on January 7, 2010 by adam @ aerial noise

We’re back covering more Ichisan after mentioning his project in Ichisan & Nakova a few weeks ago. The Slovenian DJ is phenomenal. He started by playing guitar for a number of different groups before developing and refining a taste in electronic music. In 2008 he released his first solo 12″ on London’s Airtight Recordings. The album received considerable recognition pinning him alongside greats such as Bjorn Torske, Pete Herbert, Prins Thomas, Aeroplane and many more that dabble in excellent soundscape epics.

These tracks symbolized what he accomplished in his short stint developing his solo portfolio. Now we look forward to the release of Ichisan & Nakova’s debut collaborative album Yugo Tempo to be released early 2010. Keep an eye out for that, but until then reminisce with some of these gems.

♫ Space – Just Blue (Ichisan’s Quatro Diversion)

♫ Ichisan – Full Bet Rule

♫ Ichisan – Radar Pulse Is Sent

Ralph Myerz & The Jack Herren Band

Posted on January 6, 2010 by adam @ aerial noise

Today we have a bit of a throwback by featuring two songs from Norwegians Ralph Myerz & The Jack Herren Band. Both of these are from a couple years ago but way to good to not toss up sooner or later.

♫ Ralph Myerz & The Jack Herren Band – Think Twice

♫ Ralph Myerz & The Jack Herren Band – Casino (Zoot Woman Remix)

SAVOY [Automatic]

Posted on January 5, 2010 by adam @ aerial noise

We begin the new year with an epic electro banger from SAVOY. The project consists of two DJs and one drummer who consistently deliver tons of raw experimental quality. Grady Smith, Ben Eberdt, and Mike Kelly represent Boulder, Colorado and are currently preparing for a short US-tour. These guys throw down so if you’re in the US, it would be worth the time to check these dates.

♫ Savoy – Automatic

BONUS!

♫ Savoy – Rhubarb

♫ Savoy – Hate Oh

Year In Review 2009

Posted on January 1, 2010 by adam @ aerial noise

Wow I can’t believe we’re a decade through the new millennium already! I remember the Y2K fear that swept everyone 10 years ago and how I waited patiently, like I probably will in 2012, for the next major apocalypse with the end of the Mayan calendar. Nothing happened in 2000 except for the usual fireworks and a usual raid of the parent liquor cabinets to help supply my underage drinking. A decade later and things are just as good, but different. In the case of music times are good! Here’s our own little recap on 2009.
