Talented NY producers Mysto & Pizzi, better known for their “Beatmaking Wednesday” sessions on Youtube, have greatly improved in their progressive house productions over the past year. Their remix of EDX’s “Give It Up For Love” manages to maintain a graceful equilibrium between freshness and nostalgia. The first time I listened to this duo was years ago when they were still focusing on hip-hop remixes. They’ve shown their versatility time and time again, and trust me, this track DOES NOT DISAPPOINT. The pure filtered buildups, one progression building upon another, the emotional depth built into the synths, the vocal prowess of John Williams—this track leaves you feeling empowered, ready to go all night, and maybe, just maybe…giving it up for love.
Watch the video, it’s sure to make anyone that’s been to an EDM event sentimental.
“Give It Up For Love” was released 5/25 on Sirup Music and can be purchased on Beatport here.
While Kazakhstan is best known for the likes of Borat, I’d like to think there’s a new force in EDM that might just change that. His name is Farleon, and this 18 year old is showing a lot of promise already. His Millenium EP released at #9 on Beatport’s Electro House charts, and needless to say, I’m excited to see what this kid’s going to bring to the table.
The eponymous track off the EP, “Millenium,” filled with aggressively arpeggiated sequences and beautifully sidechained synths, is a guaranteed feel good jam. The second track “Living Your Life,” is my personal favorite. He takes the arpeggios, synths, and filters, only to complement them with some grimy basslines and a catchy vocal sample. Take a listen, and you’ll see what I mean. I already know what Borat is thinking (see above picture).
The Millenium EP was released 7/2 on Funkk Sound Recordings, and can be purchased here.
Following the massive release of their first full album, HARDCORE/SOFTCORE on ULTRA RECORDS earlier this year, reigning goth-hipster kings of the electrosphere Brooklyn two-piece, DESIGNER DRUGS, are back at the reigns and are ready to set their latest nationwide undertaking in motion. Spearheaded by label-head Michael Vincent Patrick (the bespectled 1/2 of Designer Drugs) SEX CULT RECORDS‘ roster of artists including DESIGNER DRUGS, Black Matter, PLS DNT STP, Your Dirty Habit, SKITSNYGG, and High Priest make up the collective cross-country jump-off grindhouse juggernaut that is the SEX CULT INITIATION TOUR.
And to rev up the surge of hype-induced adrenaline and reckless behavior necessary for any given DESIGNER DRUGS-led brigade, SEX CULT RECORDS was kind enough to offer THE MUSIC NINJA an exclusive *FREE DOWNLOAD* of their latest drop – Black Matter & Designers Drugs featuring Cerebral Vortex – Double Vision – to our loyal EDM fiending ninjas for the taking.
Designer Drugs‘ classic arsenal of punchy full percussion lines, searing industrial builds, and their born-for-the-club-floor approach to sound intersects with Black Matter‘s notoriously addictive brand of warehouse rave-ready electro — resulting in this Dutch-fused gutterhouse floor-flooder. Steering away from a delivery of melodic/pop female vocals, Cerebral Vortex‘s flow delivers a gritty overlay atop the pitchy house leads that rounds out the track with a raw “Through The Prism”– reminiscent edge. Although innovators of some of the most crowd-rousing electro bangers of our modern day, “DOUBLE VISION” presents Designer Drugs‘, as inspired by collaboration with Black Matter, may be seeking a new direction of club-minded sound. A distinct progression that suggests Designer Drugs may have grown out of their small-scale indie club roots: and they’re ready to pack each SEX CULT INITIATION TOUR stop with more stadium-sized basslines and stabbing pitch highs the droves of thousands of revelers can imaginably endure.
