Project 46′s “Jigsaw” is an epic trance track that samples Jigsaw from the popular film Saw. The electronic pieces in it are flawless. They are working on a lot of big label releases as of recent but wanted to continue to give away a bunch of free stuff for their listeners on their soundcloud, hype machine and fan pages! Tune in to get in on the action.
Fare Soldi (meaning “making money” in Italian) was born in 1999 when two Italian producers named Santana Pasta and Luka Carnifull started melting different musical influences including disco, house, hip hop and indie rock. The result was what they call “Frico Disco”. The first Fare Soldi album was released in Italy on Riotmaker Records in 2002. A few years later, after delivering their unique sound and very tongue-in-cheek DJ sets throughout Italy the duo released the critically acclaimed “One nation under a grande cassa” on Riotmaker Records. At that point Riotmaker Records had also become an imprint on Warner Music. More releases including the “Mago Ninja Robot” Ep and their third album entitled “Sappiamo dove abiti” (Whe know where you live)were soon to follow.
Fast forward to 2010 – with a number of releases under their belt including the most recent: “Houstria Ep” and VIGORILLA, and strong support from MTV (Italy/EU) and a slew of big name artists like Erol Alkan, Aeroplane, Metro Area and Bloody Beetroots showing support, the golden duo (they perform in signature gold jackets) are poised for world domination.
Currently, Fare Soldi’s remix of “Babylon” for Congorock and their remix of Duck Sauce’s “Barbra Streisand “are causing an international sensation at clubs and festivals from California to Ibiza. Their new ep is out now: CASOTTO, while remixes and a new tracks are also in the works for next year.
Fare Soldi has performed alongside James Murphy, Calvin Harris, Mr. Oizo, Sebastian, Kavinsky and Crookers. The list continues to grow, so lookout for Fare Soldi they’ll soon be coming to a club, festival or Italian restaurant near you!
I just finished watching the movie Drive (2011), directed by Nicholas Refn. Holy shit is it ever fantastic! Honest to god the best movie I have seen in years. The film pins its headlights on the dark implications of unchecked obsession and good intentions gone haywire. That dangerous duality – humanity on the razor’s edge of animal brutality – is played to unnerving perfection by Ryan Gosling. With a low budget and the odd Hollywood marquee, the film was never expected to make the impact it did.
And well; the soundtrack is even more impressive. With a lineup like Kavinsky, College, Electric Youth and more, it slides right into our alley. Go out and watch it.

We recently introduced you to self-taught, guitar prodigy Alex Fedorov, and his new track “Last Forever”. Currently unsigned, Fedorov continues to work out of Bedrock Studios in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, and lately there’s been a steady stream of piercing guitar roars emanating from Fedorov’s cell. The man’s been toiling away on the new album arriving sometime this year, and due to be titled “Ahead of Time”. With plans to perform around LA while he continues work on the LP, Fedorov wanted to pass along a new track, “Input Power”, and a larger library of his material can be further explored at http://www.reverbnation.com/alexfedorov…

Miami’s Jesp’s music certainly has a theatrical demeanor, and he’s been hard at work down in South Florida, slaving away and amassing a healthy hoard of material he wanted to share, and there’s even more to come soon…

Luxar Records is proud to present thier first new signing, J3000, an artist with a love for classic electro, Detroit techno, house, 80s synths, ambient, soundtracks and fragments of dubstep. J3000 is an alias of Julian Fenner; sound designer, DJ, Mashup pioneer and well-known artist JoolsMF (Young Turks, Mad Decent, XFM). “VCO” nods to the Carl Craig school of techno. It’s equal parts Landcruising-era Craig and Deep House. With more than a slight nod to the woozier side of MoTown, this isn’t a peak time banger, its for driving through the city at 3am…
Also, on the Luxar Mixcloud, a DJ mix by J3000, showcasing some influences.
Magic Machine’s “MM1” can currently be found on Itunes and Bandcamp.

Great remix here from Back From The Future. The hard hitting Electro/Dubstep of Cheyenne Giles and Joe Garcia are from San Diego. The soft essence that captures the violent musical nature of Skrillex is incredible. I’m a big fan.

The new track from SAUR is”SocaLoca!”, and at 140 BPM it yanks Philly based Igor Makhlin right out of his comfort zone. His girlfriend’s love of Soca music exposed SAUR to something that he found strikingly similar to “sped up Moombahton”. Whatever is sounds like, SAUR scribbled his name all over it, with the infusion of urgency we’ve come to expect from Mr. Makhlin…

A heavy presence on my best of 2011 list, The Sanfernando Sound sends his new year’s wishes by messing with a track from the hot NYC artist Matthew Duffy. The Sanfernando Sound gets his hands dirty with “Homosapien”, originally released in 1981 by Pete Shelley, leader of punk band “Buzzcocks” and a personal hero for JSP as he also hails from the music rich city of Manchester. The track is great, but if I’m honest my mouth is salivating at the thought of The Sanfernando Sound’s next remix project where he utilizes a track from local favorites, The New Division. Enjoy the Duffy remix and check back for updates on The Sanfernando Sound’s massive plans for 2012…

I’ve been down with OHYEAH since he got down with HOMEBOI and the duo put together The SainTropez / CôteD’Azur EP. Amongst a flurry of holiday well-wishing, it was great to hear from OHYEAH recently, and he passed along word of the Benice Veach EP, and also did an excellent job of articulating the three song EP’s sunny disposition, in a warmly worded email:
Hey Jon
I don’t know what the weather is like where you are, but i can tell you that it’s pretty rainy and not Christmas-like at all in Germany. We (My Heart Your Heart, Kings Of The Universe and I) thought it would be a great idea to bring some sunshine into your life by introducing you to MHYH’s “Benice Veach” EP. This whole thing comes along with 3 tracks which could not be more different from each other. The original combines guitars with tropical drums, while “Kings Of The Universe” from Sweden did a 90s influenced & 909 addicted garage remix and le me joins them with some funky synthesized boogie. Just because MHYH is a pretty nice guy and christmas is all about love and giving, he decided to give away the whole EP for free.
By far, my favorite greeting from this last season, and a well needed dose of sunshine from our buddy OHYEAH…
