From Ukraine with love

Producing for this Ukrainian started fairly recently in 2011. Since then Montee has been a busy cook releasing across several labels. His ingredients come together to serve dishes of Electro House, Nu Disco, and Indie Dance. “Royal Taste“ was released on the label Big Fish which got the attention of several listeners. It also brought about an evil remix by Jan Waterman

“The Hunger Games” is a personal favourite and currently available on Beatport with a wild Glitch Hop remix.

If you want to see him in action, check out this Youtube post on May 21st for a live mashup using Launchpad for his single “Butterfly Attack”. Plus! A free download! How kind.

Drop your pants and touch your toes. I’m ganna show you where the wild ben pearce goes.

Ben Pearce has a lot of warmth and soul to offer to your needly little ears. His main stay is in Manchester, but he recently played international gigs in Croatia, Spain, and Italy. He is supported by giants in the Deep House genre with the likes of Maya Jane Coles, Seth Troxler, and even Pete Tong. Check out his Sound Cloud for hours of singles, mixes and remixes.

Fresh off the pan is “Patticakes,” a smooth single that slid its way on to the plate of BBC’s Annie Mac. I still can’t get it off my table because it has taken residence in my own mind (and I just can’t get it out, not that I would want to). Take the chance to download it while it is available.

“What I Might Do” is my favourite type of Deep House and probably one of his best work. The lyrics are curious. When viewed on their own they seem better suited to a hardcore gang rap track. Yet, they almost seem highbrow when coupled with such a well crafted mature musical composition. You really need a good set of headphones, car stereo, or loud speakers to notice the tasty low tones. This song has already reached 4 million views (and is, I must admit, overused in my personal mixes, but I just can’t stop coming back to it).

Something a little deeper and faster tonight by Alix Perez. Real name: Alix Depauw, a Belgium who is known for his additive Drum and Bass. He started young at age 14 and started producing at 17. The label Shogun Audio contains his album “1984″ in 2009. Critical acclaim on magazines such as Mixmag has propelled him to chart topping hights. Don’t be shy to bob your head to this massive debut Essential Mix. Shogun Audio was even nice enough to offer a download of the whole thing.

Well the blackoutBBQ are prepared to take off to the gorge to indulge in music, debauchery and good times.

Here in the circle of the barbecrew we strongly believe that “life is good, but it’s better in a costume!” so this year we will be doing pokemon themed costumes. So when you see that obnoxious group of individuals acting like pokemon and shrinking into pokeballs you’ll know.. it’s the barbcrew!

Look out for that pink flag!

Barbecue, I choose you!

Anytime a jamie xx track comes on on my mp3 player, i always catch myself thinking who produced this quality track? And of course i momentarily realize it’s jamie xx. The 1/4 (1/3) of the XX is seriously the master craftsman of electronic sound. Prove me wrong, please!

The Cocktail Hour ft. JUSTICE – Access.All.Arenas

By FAR the best mix we’ve had on the Cocktail Hour!

Can you hear that blood curdling scream in the begining? Ya, thats me. Not in the recording of course, that’s silly. I’m made that noise right here in my office and you heard it from wherever you’re reading this from right now.

The happiest of Fridays to all of you!

Been talking a lot recently about songs you cant listen to without smiling. This is one of those mixes. It’s lovely. It’s dancy. Its everything I want on a Friday.

Felix Da Housecat has been around the block and this Chicago house legend proves he can still hold it down.

Enjoy
