Laidback Luke [MSTRKRFT+Major Lazer]

Posted on October 30, 2009 by adam @ aerial noise

Over the past week I came across some new inviting house remixes by Laidback Luke. Both are fixated on heavy synth sequences and layers of loops. Luke has an elaborate playful way of mixing up the original samples and spinning them to his desire. He takes both these tracks for a walk, especially the earlier touch-up to MSTRKRFT/Jon Legend’s Heartbreaker. Included also is the classic remix to MJ’s Thriller. Halloween’s is around the corner so it’s an excellent grab.

2009 has been an impressive year so far for the Netherlands producer. The collaboration with the Swedish House Mafia on Leave The World Behind was Beatports best-selling song of the year as of July 09. He’s also been on tour all year- from Australia to Ibiza so far with upcoming shows in Europe, Russia and Singapore. If you are in one of these areas it would be worth the investment to check the show. Dates can be found on his myspace.

Three Sure Bangers

Someone was nice enough to point a finger over to Holy Ghost!‘s mix of Goblin City. At nine minutes in length, it has some versatility. It’s very playful and melodic. The interlude grabs you within the first minute and then you’re locked in from there. These guys from NY surely are mixing masterminds.

mstrkrft

This next remix is lethal. The original to MSTRKRFT‘s pairing with Legend in my opinion was too slow and strayed away from the traditional party bangers that I became infatuated over MSTRKRFT with. The Jump Jump Dance Dance Remix eliminates this problem. Tossing in a heavier bassline and some catchier rifts, this song is officially ready for the hardwood. A little dose of that synth nearing 3 mins in just ties it all together. I know you’ll like this.

Jump Jump Dance Dance are Etc Etc’s latest signing since PNAU and Lost Valentinos. The Californian based duo consists of LA DJ and Vocalist Chris Carter and Simon Lewick. Keep an eye out for these guys in the future. This is only the beginning.

The last hit comes from the duo in Classixx and has been patiently waiting in my library for about two week now to be tossed up here. I watched it grow as various blogs covered it more last week. Still relatively unheard, it’s too good to not take the extra time out and showcase it on 317. The new take on Major Lazer‘s Cash Flow is mellowed out and absolutely terrific. Great work threading in some light synth to carry you away with.

Jaimie Fanatic dropped El Musicae a lil while ago and ever since Discodust picked it up I’ve been all about it. This track is excellent and features Netherlands producer Jesse Voorn. The result of this Electro/House sound is phenomenal and definitely worth the couple second dl. Fanatic has recently joined the Mad Decent team who already has giant names like Diplo, Crookers and Major Lazer alongside. Together they should put together some great shows for the future so keep close tabs on them.
