The Warehouse Project announces New Years Eve line-up

The guys over at The Warehouse Project have today announced the line-up for their 2011 New Years Eve party, which is set to be a special one as it's the last to be held at the legendary Store Street venue. Radio 1 DJ Annie Mac is the headline act, with support coming from her good friends Fake Blood, Jaguar Skills, Riva Starr, Doorly, Mistajam and more. Early bird tickets are £25 and normal ticket prices are £32.50. You can find the full line-up HERE and get your tickets HERE. New Years Eve is my birthday, so I need to make a decision soon about where I'll be spending my 22nd...

Jack Beats - End Of Love

Premiered last night on Mistajam's show, here is the new single from the ever brilliant production duo Jack Beats. I was thinking of the perfect way to describe it, but Jam did that for me - it's "like Sinatra meets house meets Dubstep meets bass". Huge tune from one of the most forward-thinking acts in Electronic music.

Justice - Cannon x Newlands

Two new tracks from Justice's long overdue sophmore album, Audio Video Disco, which is set to be released October 24th on Ed Banger. Didn't like the lead single, not a huge fan of Cannon, but Newlands is pretty damn amazing. Pre-order on iTunes HERE.

Camo & Krooked - Cross The Line (Feat. Ayah Marar)

Released today on Hospital Records, here is the title track and one of my favourite tracks from Camo & Krooked's highly anticipated sophmore album, Cross The Line. Over the past few years the Austrian duo have created their own unique sound, built up a huge reputation as one of the most forward thinking acts in Drum & Bass and gained a very loyal fanbase along the way - this album is another step in the right direction. Get your copy HERE.

P.S. Lots of love for Ayah...

Kidda - The Whistler

A cool viral video for the second single from Kidda's forthcoming album, Hotel Radio, which is set to released later this year on Skint Records. Really excited for this album - Kidda doesn't know how to make bad music. Out on October 17th, wit remixes from Subskrpt & The Living Graham Bond to follow.

BMB aka Space Kid - SpacEldelica (Feat. El Toro) x Make Sounds

All the way from St. Petersburg in Russia, here are my two favourite tracks from BMB/Space Kid's new LP, The Sound Of Tomorrow. The album is real deep and honest music - it's all instrumental; 19 Future-Sounding-Soulful-Beats. BMB has a signature sound that you can't really deny - you can expect future synths, basslines, and heavy-non-quantized-drum patterns that will definitely grab your attention. Get your copy for just £2 HERE.

Kid Vibe - Dipped Honey x Pillow Talk

Here are two of my favourite tracks from the first release on a newly formed label called Cold Bites. They are a re-edit, remixes, mash up style label whose releases will be available exclusively at Junodownload - the artists will be taking classics (sometimes hidden gems) and putting a modern day electronic twist on them, whilst still keeping the soulful and funky elements that made them hits all those years ago. Love this, so much. 16th November is the release date.

Guess the tracks...

Random Impulse - Changed The Way You Kiss Me (Example Re-Fix)

After his massive re-work of DJ Fresh's number one single last weekend, Random Impulse has now decided to take Example's chart topping Changed The Way You Kiss Me and put his own unique twist on it. Season 3 of the re-fix series has started with a bang, and I only expect it to get better, so do yourself a favour and subscribe to his YouTube channel NOW.

R.I.P. DJ Mehdi

There has been no official statement yet, but earlier today Ed Banger Records have confirmed that DJ Mehdi has passed away. Over the past 15 years the Frenchman remained relatively underground, but the influence he and his music has had on Electronic music as a whole is simply incredible. He has an exceptional back catalogue of his own and has collaborted with the likes of Daft Punk, Cassius, MC Solaar, Chromeo and many more; pushing the boundaries, mixing Hip-Hop and Electronic music better than anyone else, creating the most beautiful disco-infused material that has become the sound of French Electronic music. The cause of his death is unknown, but there reports are that he fell to his death from a roof - my thoughts go out to everyone at Ed Banger Records, his family and of course his beautiful wife, Fafi. Below are two of my favourite Mehdi remixes from the past few years - forever missed.

UPDATE: DJ Mag are reporting that he was on the roof of his home in Paris with a group of friends celebrating the birthday of Riton, his partner in Carte Blanche, when the roof collapsed. A number of others are reported to have been seriously injured in the tragic accident. Riton, aka Henry Smithson, is said to be the only person not to have fallen through the roof.

Miike Snow - Burial (Mehdi Remix)

Eli Escobar - Love Thing Part 2 (DJ Mehdi Remix)

SebastiAn - Love In Motion (Feat. Mayer Hawthorne) (Skrillex Remix)

AH YEAH, another remix from Skrillex, and another banger! Taking on one of my favourites from SebastiAn's new album, this really showcases his versality and willingness to think outside the box. He uses Mayer's vocals perfectly, and the drop is as monstrous as ever. Get your copy on Beatport HERE.
