[House] option4 – Street Love

Street Love (Original Mix)
option4

While Colorado and more specifically the city of Denver has become somewhat of a haven for the more aggressive electronic genres, a definite paradigm shift towards the underground house movement has begun to spring up within the last few years thanks in part to artists like option4. The “deeper than disco and more soulful than house” producer has been constantly upping a savvy set of production chops and while we have been quite fond of option4’s last few releases including “All the Girls” and a moving remix of Two Door Cinema Club’s “Handshake” , his newest cut, “Street Love” is by far the most pleasing to our set of Ninja ears. “Street Love” bridges an utterly catchy gap between Deep, Tech and Disco House as well as an R&B sample from Lloyd’s classic club hit “Get It Shawty” and a little sprinkling of gangster sparkle for good measure which all result in a soulful dance tune fit for a sweaty dance floor. As a bonus for our TMN fam, the track is being offered up for free through newly minted house label Night Supply, so be sure to add this one to your download to-do list. Happy Hump-Day!

With the weekend right around the corner, Bei Major teams up with Diplo for a quintessential summer track. The song carries the awesome minimal production of Diplo and some smooth and happy vocals from Bei. I could also definitely see some pretty cool remixes coming out of this. A nice, fun cut that is sure to brighten your day.

[COVER] – Hawa – D.A.N.C.E. (Justice cover)

It’s the start of Memorial Day weekend ninjas! What better way to kick off the first official weekend of summer than with a breezy, sunny, yet completely reimagined version of Justice‘s signature song D.A.N.C.E. Though D.A.N.C.E. has been remixed by almost every DJ under the sun, England’s Hawa gives this song a pleasant breath of fresh air with a different arrangement of studios instruments and Mark Ronson inspired production. The R&B/Soul songstress is destined to make a splash with this creative take on what has now become an anthemic and classic electro song.

BONUS: While browsing the web, I also came across the soulful sound of Lady Daisey. Her faux-60’s sound is perfect for the Mayer Hawthorne fans as she brings us “Soul Strut,” a sassy little diddy available on her debut album In My Pocket out on BBE records.

I’m just as big of a fan of big heavy electro sounds, but it’s always nice to hear good music that takes it back to the roots; the talent of a vocalist with no autotune accompanied by talented musicians.
