Boris Dlugosch – Bangkok

Asian Dan — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 05:48:50 +0000

I remember hearing this tune as an opener for one of Erol Alkan’s Parklife sets that I downloaded a few weeks ago and I was blown away. I then heard it again on Busy P’s Essential mix and found out who this fantastic producer from Hamburg is. Boris Dlugosch has been around for quite a [...]

Music Go Music x Fred Falke

Asian Dan — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 06:07:18 +0000

Fred Falke strikes back – this time using his magic French touch on LA’s Music Go Music, that 70s ABBA/Olivia Newton John, disco band signed to Secretly Canadian. Interesting use of that 8-bit sounding synth. Check out what Kama Maza from Music go Music has to say about Fred’s remix: “Fred’s version leans more towards those [...]

Sequenced synths galore featuring Patrick Cowley inspired vocoder. Fantastic blend of Italo and House elements – oh so futuristic. Keep on doing what you are doingAzari & III. Azari & III – She’s An Illusion Via 20 Jazz Funk Greats

RJD2 – When It Wobbles

Asian Dan — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 12:58:04 +0000

What a great tune from RJD2’s new EP, The Tin Foil Hat. I love it when that guitar solo kicks in out of nowhere. This is a track that you need to bump while cruising around in your car. And bump it LOUD.

LONE

Asian Dan — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 19:37:32 +0000

Warm, thoughtful, introspective and soulful electronic that comes from the UK seems like an oxymoron but acts like Bibio, Bullion and Lone are doing it quite well. Lone (Werk Discs Records) from Nottingham, United Kingdom produces warm/organic sounding beats that evoke images of lovely autumn days. His synth sounds swirl and swarm you in a [...]

ROB x Sébastien Tellier

Asian Dan — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 21:29:01 +0000

You all know and have seen ROB on TV, on every late night show this summer laying it down on the keys/synths for this little known French Pop Band, Phoenix. This track is the 4th installation in his 12 month long release of musical pieces through Institubes Records. Mr. Tellier joins ROB on this latest [...]

Jose James x Joy Orbison

Asian Dan — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 18:49:45 +0000

Once again I will state that I love Joy Orbison and what he is doing for electronic music. It is a refreshing sound that is cleansing our burnt out/bloghaus banger palette. There is a a hint of the crazy dubstep everyone is raving about but in a very tasteful way. My favorite element of Joy [...]

VHS HEAD

VHS Head is a mysterious Blackpool, UK native producer signed to Skam Records. Rumors are flying around that VHS Head is a secret moniker of the amazing Jackson & His Computer Band. I had the pleasure of checking out Jackson’s DJ set as he opened for Justice this last week in NYC at Webster Hall. Not [...]

Jupiter – Mama Used to Say

Asian Dan — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 05:55:06 +0000

Jupiter is a Parisian Disco Pop duo (including keytar) – Checkout “Mama Used to Say” a slick disco pop tune with a fat synth bassline and a cute sounding female vocalist. Nothing revolutionary but just a well produced and put together tune. Dance. UPDATE: This is actually a cover of Junior’s 1982 track “Mama Used to [...]
