First up, this is the official video for the new single from The Freestylers, which I'm really excited about as they have made some awesome music over the year! This track is fantastic, I love the vocal in this, and the video is good as well. The vocal in this is by Joshua Steele, otherwise known as Flux Pavilion - I didn't realise that he sang vocals for tracks as well as producing them until I heard this, I do like his voice though.
I've mentioned The Freestylers on my blog previously, as they are a group I respect for their range of musical influences - the track "This City" that they did used a melody that was instantly reminiscent of Ludovico Eindaudi, one of the best contemporary composers around at the moment. Well, the above track by The Freestylers reminds me of the following composition by Phillip Glass, another talented modern composer.
It's great to see artists that have come from the underground scene demonstrating such wide ranging influences, as a common misconception is that people who listen to dance music don't listen to or appreciate classical or composed music.
Next up, this is a VIP remix by State of Mind, a production duo hailing from New Zealand. They made this remix as they wanted a revamped version to play at gigs, and while they are not planning on releasing this, I've heard it in a few different places, and think this has strong summer vibes to it!
This track is a new remix from Cyantific, and I think that this has some fantastic sounds in it! Love it! This is a remix of a track called I'm a Drum Machine, by Denzal Park vs Wizard Sleeve, and manages to be quite slow and chilled out, and also hectic and energetic at the same time.
Still on the chilled out vibe, this track is by Roksonix, and is called Too Bad. This track is on the newest studio mix by Drumsound and Bassline Smith - click here to stream the full mix, which is really enjoyable. If I manage to find a download link for this mix I will share it with you all.
Now it's time for a track that I won't ever get bored of hearing - this is soulful Drum and Bass at its best! This tune has so much depth to it, dBridge is a fantastic producer and this is an awesome track.
Continuing the soulful vibe, this is a remix by a relatively newcomer called Deep Focus, of the classic Hospital Records tune by Logistics, Haunted by her Yesterdays. This is beautiful, really enjoyable!
Next up, this is We are the People, by Empire of the Sun. This band have a really catchy and distinctive sound to their tracks, and this one always makes me smile.
Time for another mix for you - this is a promo mix from the Mad Decent record label, by their talented female artist Kito, and this has some mind blowingly beautiful tracks on. Click here to go to the Mad Decent page, where you can download this from.
That's all for today, but keep your eyes peeled for the next update due later this week. Until then, enjoy the beats - and the sunshine! :)
