FREE DL: Ango “No Ordinary Love”

Longshanks — Thu, 23 Feb 2012 08:41:44 +0000

Agh… what can one say about this? If there were ever a more appropriate fit than Ango & Sade, well, we’re stumped. Our fave MTL crooner links with local LuckyMe guy Jacques Greene for a really tasteful vamp on the classic lusty groover from Sade. Man, excited for more music for this dood.

RBMA 2012: Egyptrixx & Martyn

Longshanks — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 08:33:02 +0000

Many of you will remember last year’s unfathomable RBMA tour with Ango, Lunice, Jacques Greene & Prison Garde rolling through our lil’ town. Word around the country was that Victoria had the best turn out for the RBMA info session – so we’re hyped to be helping push this year’s edition which boasts another stunning set of headliners: Egyptrixx & Martyn. Starting at 7pm, these two lynchpins of modern techno will guide an info session on the Music Academy, answering questions & talking to attendees.

And then after that, they’ll tear Lucky Bar down.

Two Fresh in April

Longshanks — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 07:27:59 +0000

Excited to be helping Atomique & Dubstep.net alongside Dub Selekta & Victoria Dubstep with this killer show that hits Victoria April Fools Day. Two Fresh will climb on stage with NitGrit at the end of a looong as North American tour to rip their blaptastic blend of Dilla drums & mashed up remixes. Always great to see live drumming with synthetic bleeps.

Holler at the Facebook thing.

Grounded feature on Kingdom & Monolithium

Longshanks — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 04:20:10 +0000

Mad ups to Grounded TV for the feature on our Vancouver 2 year party at The Waldorf. The dance really was off the chain & it was great that they got to interview Kingdom & our bossman, Shanks/Monolithium. Peep.

Machinedrum ‘SXLND’ via LuckyMe

Longshanks — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 08:37:59 +0000

We all know how Travis Stewart ruled 2011 – hell we named him Artist Of The Year – but holy hell, Machinedrum is already off to a blazing ah-one-two. His latest EP SXLND unravels some chunky dancefloor workers that echo the modern deep house vibes eminating from the UK & Chi City. “DDD” has the perfect classic house touch, refreshing everyone’s take on just how versatile Tstewart is after all that footwork business in 2011. Plus the vinyl of this thing comes with a beautiful sleeve & fold out inner… defo worth the splurge.

BUY SXLND FROM BLEEP

On top of that, Azealia Banks - the NYC darling everyone’s eyes have been on – blessed “SXLND” with some sultry r&b vox.

Hush 2 Year party video…

Longshanks — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 05:54:59 +0000

Here’s a clip put together by our man Aaron Bergunder of thenumbercreative. He was kind enough to catch some footage of our 2 year celebration at Hush, where Eames & Monolithium tore the dancefloor up (you can download their entire set here). We all had a huge blast at this party, nice to have a quick glance back…

The tune playing is C.R.S.T.‘s bangin’ garage remix of Herve’s “Together”.

Free DL: Dark Sky “Standoff”

Lance — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 05:54:45 +0000

If you’ve been to a sub⎹div party anytime since July, chances are high that you’ve heard Dark Sky’s “Neon” get dropped in the mix, and with good reason. The cut from their Radius EP (out on Modeslektor’s 50 Weapons) does everything short of straight up announcing “IT IS NOW TIME TO DANCE” when it drops.

“Standoff” exists somewhere inbetween hip-hop and 2step, with touches of dub via the gorgeous delayed piano in this. An intriguing turn in direction towards the mid-tempo for Dark Sky, this one is a sure shot for any 1st or 2nd-up DJ’s looking to set the mood right on the dancefloor.

Boddika & Joy O “Swims”

ethani — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 05:46:05 +0000

Chooooon… a belligerent sample of Tronco Traxx’s ’95 burner “Walk 4 Me” mingling with a fearless & cheeky acid-wash bassline that perfectly melds the sounds of Joy O and Instra:mental’s Boddika into one hell of a banger. It really is no surprise that “Swims” has had so many frothing at the bit for so long – it simmers with the distinct rugged minimalism that both of these dudes developed over 2011 (think Joy O “Jels”, Boddika “Warehouse”). A darrrrrk dancefloor type ting that oozed promises through much of the last year… well, words were kept; Swims 12″ is finally set for delivery January 13th (pre-order now) via the tightly-sealed camp that is Swamp81.
