Out today, Kitsuné Maison's 7th compilation is a fantastic collection of new music from the likes of Renaissance Man, Chew Lips, Phoenix, Men, Heartsrevolution, and many, many, more. To give you a sense of the record, we've got the The Golden Filter's "Favourite Things" to share with you. It's a grooving, shiny, tune with a literal list of things that the mysterious singer digs.
Overall the compilation is a good balance of proper club tunes as well as songs that you can enjoy without a dark smokey environment. Showcasing new artists alongside veterans always seems to be Kitsuné's main goal, and they've compiled a great selection for their latest offering. Definitely pick up the release and check out the fantastic Yuksek remix of autoKratz's "Always More", as well as the Classixx hype-worthy cut of Pheonix's "Lisztomania". There are too many good tracks on here to list, so just take a listen for yourself.
iTunes has had the compilation on digital for a bit now, but you can finally get it on Amazon and Beatport as well. Kitsuné Maison Compilation 7 gets a 4.5/5
BT has been hard at work on a new album and a new iPhone application called Sonifi, which is supposedly the world's first portable remix app. It should be available soon through the iTunes app store for the iPhone and iPod touch.
However, his new single "Rose of Jericho" drops tomorrow on Beatport with tons of remixes that he promises will please and blow people away. Check out the official video for the original mix right above!
I love supporting folks from my hometown, especially when they're actually really talented. DC-based producer/dj Nacey hit us up with his remix of Major Lazer's "Hold the Line". If you don't know Nacey, he's part of the hot Nouveau Riche crew with Gavin Holland and Steve Starks.
Nacey's remix of the Lazer tune is a slower and darker jam but keeps Santigold's great Mr. Lexx's vocals intact.
Zero 7 are back with a new album titled Yeah Ghost and lucky for you, they sent us a fresh album track titled "Everything Up (Zizou)", featuring the vocals of Eska Mtungwaz, to share with all our readers. Keep an ear out for the first single "Medicine Man" coming out later this summer and pick up the album when it drops on September 8th!
"Hooligans" is topping the UK DMC charts at #1, so Don decided to share two more remixes with us, both from bass-heavy masters. First off, famed Dutch dnb production crew Noisia decided to mix things up and gave "Hooligans" their own take on the tune, but with a twist on electro. I have to hand it to Noisia, they've broken out of the stigma of being within one genre, and they once again prove that they are one of the best production teams out there. This tune will be playing all over very soon.
Secondly, we've got a dubstep cut from Wire, Example's tour DJ. It's hard, nasty, grimey will make your brain rollover in its skull. It works really well with the original tune, but is a lot nastier than Doorly's take (which is fantastic as well).
Grab both below, and be sure to give both remixers, Example, and Don Diablo himself some myspace love!
Did you know über-talented illustrator McBess has a band called The Dead Pirates with fellow designer Simon? Well, the two teamed up with superhouse the Mill and created this music video for their band. The result is a fantastic piece done in McBess's signature drawing-style, all in black and white, and with a fun little story. Looking forward to seeing more from the two and hearing more of their music.
In an official announcement yesterday, Microsoft confirmed that the rumoured Zune HD would be coming out this fall. The new multi-media device does away with the circle button for a full-on touchscreen. The device is also a hell of a lot thinner, and dare I say, actually sexy. Yes, I said a Microsoft device was sexy.
As rumored, the new Zune connects to XBOX Live Marketplace, and there are some hints that there may be apps and games on the way. But is Microsoft too late with the design overhaul? Even with HD radio, video, touchscreens, and unicorns, can the Zune stand up strong and tall against both the iPhone and iPod Touch?
