ARCH061 / runners high.

2 Comments Drop it, Techno

Maxime Miville is a electronic music producer based in Montreal Canada. I couldn’t find any back catalogs of his work, or much information about him except that he is heavily influeced by the Boarder Community sound.
The Runners High EP features 2 original tracks and 2 remixes.

1. Dopamine (Original Mix)

2. Endorphin (Original Mix)
3. Dopeamine (Rico Cassaza Remix)
[audio:/0309/Mp3_320/128 Blog Friendly/03 Dopamine (Rico Casazza Remix).mp3]
4. Dopamine (Rico Puestel Remix)

I wasn’t entirely impressed with the remixes because I feel like they didn’t capture the ‘essence’ if you will. You might agree that both treatments loose the melancholy vibe in favor of focusing on developing more complex rhythmic layers. I would have liked to see what Cassaza would have done with Endorphin. ;) Speaking of which, Rico Casaaza is starting up a new label himself and looking for demos.
Runners High is out on Archipel records as a digital release and is available on Beatport.

Also !Trash Yourself ‘s Touch has found a home at Loliland Records and was released on Beatport yesterday. Grab it here.

BOOM time to blow up those tiny computer speakers!

Drop It 07

It’s been a while since I posted one of these. But it’s also been a while since I checked my dropbox and wow found some really nice tracks in there. Keep them dropping guys! I promise I’ll check it out more often from now on. Enough said let’s get on with this.

We start of with a Swedish collaboration between Quietboy and Yeah! Woho!.

Now that we’re warmed up, let’s make some place for some heavier stuff. Check out this still unsigned German electro duo Disko Bums‘s El Bombo. Oh just love how this track starts off with those heavy grungy synths. The track still needs some fine tuning but I have to admit I’m headbanging  right now.

The next one is from … I don’t know actually. I can’t seem to find a myspace of either the remixer or the original producer. The original might be from the young Belgian dj called Ilektronic. But can’t say it for sure. Talking about underground!? Anyway it’s a pretty cool track. Enjoy.

Next up is Big Nasty aka Cold Blank with his remix of LMFAO’s I’m in Miami Bitch. I’ve heard better of him to be honest. Ah well it’s a banger anyway, real dancefloor material. Give him some love.

Oh okay now just lets trash the happy synth melodies. That seems to be the goal of the Slovak Que on this tune anyway. For DJs out there who wants to get their crowd crazy, this might be the tool you’re searching for. Discodust described this track as “deep booming 808 kickdrums, clap massacres, funky organs, twirling synths, fat saw chords and a catchy vocal sample to a true club stormer, this is literal ‘electro house’ paired with a rock and roll attitude.”

Hell yeah! Fresh new facts from Basserk!

First of all, they’ve released  a new Ep Finished Business by Tanzkonsol. 7 great electro tunes by this boy from the north of Holland
Available at Beatport, Itunes etc. Check out the 320 promo track at the bottom of this post.

For those who live near Amsterdam and searching for a banging party. The next edition of Cafaine at the Sugar Factory is on april the 10th. Line up: Mark Moore (UK), Sneakthief (GER), Massimo Sex D’electro and more.

And of course there are more releases coming up. It is nearly there, the new CD by 3-1. As we speak it’s being produced so it wont take long anymore. 3-1 remixed 13 bands (Detroit Grand Pubahs, Krause, Nid & Sancy, Elle Bandita, Lilian Hak and more) it’s gonna be horrible but you have to hear it anyway, more news soon!

In a about a month the first release of Petr Passive will be available. Fat Sauce contains 7 fat, rough electro tracks. Definitely not for little girls or people with weak ears!

I’ve been thinking about co-authoring on another blog for awhile, but picking a suitable platform to voice myself was crucial. The Belgian Techno House or just the’BTH’ are a group of artist’s and really great people; but the blog clearly had no future. This is unfortunate, because in the process of operating the blog for almost a year now, i realized my enjoyment for writing about and sharing music. Overall I had a great experience, but I’m very pleased with my new authoring position here on Phase02.

I decided to approach timic with the idea of a collaboration. I guess because of the name he figured I was dutch!
After chatting a bit and realizing that I don’t actually speak dutch, timic was sport to add me to the Phase02 roster ;)

I thought a great way to kick things off here would be with a chart of my current top 10 favourites in March. Towards the end of every month I will include a downloadable chart, just like the one bellow. The decision to make my chart entirely downloadable is however something of a double edge sword because sometimes certain deserving tracks won’t make the list. Hopefully this selection will give you an idea of some of the artists and labels I support and what you can look forward to in the future.

Wop Wop Wop! There’s a new Hostage remix! This time he transformed The Prodigy’s Take Me To The Hospital to a wobblin Hostage-style dancefloor banger. “Wobbly booty with all the stabs and gunshots you could shake a glow-stick at!” to Say it with his exact words. I on the other hand tried to express my feelings about this track with manipulating Alan’s picture. Sorry Alan, I couldn’t resist! But I think it says more than enough!
