Gavin Russom-The Tangible Presence of Miraculous

Gavin Russom is back with a great new track in his group the Crystal Ark. Best known for his work !!!, and lately as synth player in LCD Soundsystem, Gavin has carved out a very nice place in the NYC music community, as one of most influential and powerful synth players and builders. Having crafted his skill at a young age, and then in Berlin before returning to NYC, he has been the brain child behind all the amazing synth sounds that we hear out of many DFA artists, and most sounds heard on the new LCD Soundsystem album.

In his latest track, The Tangible Presence of the Miraculous, Gavin crafts a 13 minute + acid house trip. With various synth patterns layered throughout this journey, his selects the perfect tones only he knows how to get out his instruments. With building drum beats and bass lines, accompanied by organic vocals, makes you think back to the first M.I.A. album meets an 80’s dance floor burner.

I have a feeling this one I will be playing for a very long time.

I love Disco!!!! And this new remix of Booka Shade's track Tennage Spaceman by Tim Deluxe is amazing. With a pulsating bass line, over a catchy drum beat, takes these electro bangers into the realm of disco greatness. Love the tones he picks and the gentle chord stabs he places throughout this heater. Big room Nu-Disco at it's greatest.

Azari & III- Reckless (With Your Love) Tensnake Remix

There are few artists and producers who seem to have a solid grip on how to use the tools of today, to re-create the sounds of yesterday, but Tensnake seems to be one of them. He has created so many great tunes over the last year and half he has been on my radar, and even though the sound is different from track to track, they all seem to share one thing in quality, great tones!!!! Which I think is the most over looked part in the world of music production, and why so many artists fail to gain main stream popularity as most people can create a track, but not many can make that track shake the cosmos by using the tones they have and making them sound the best they can. Most people fail to realize this in music production, less is more, and in my eyes, Tensnake grasps this concept to its fullest.

In this remix of Azari & III’s track “Reckless (With your Love)” he takes this track and puts an early 90’s twist on it. Another great remix from Tensnake, and I highly suggest going and buying his hit track “Coma Cat” Which is a favorite of mine.

Sade-Smooth Operator (MIdnight Surfer Extended Edit)

There are few songs that can pull me from a funk, but no matter how down I am, this song always makes me happy. I am not a huge Sade fan, and can say I don't even own a complete album, but this song is a classic in my eyes and if I could, I would DJ it every night out. So that was my mission when creating this edit. I didn't need to add anything as it is already a smoker, however it wasn't the easiest to mix as the vocals came in so early. So here you have an extended edit for easier mixing while DJING. Enjoy.

Rebirth Brasss Band-D's Hips (Midnight Surfer Remix)

Hey Everyone. Been gone on a quick vacation but back with a new remix of Rebirth Brass Band track D's Hips. I did this for the Urb Mag/Outside Land Music Fest in SF. I don't know too much about them as a band, but they seem like someone you need to see LIVE. They got such a groovy sound, and I think they could play off each other and really jam out. Anyways, Have a listen and let me know what you think.
