Chris Malinchak - So Good To Me

First heard this blissful masterpiece this morning on Radio 1. Thank you Sara Cox for bringing this into my life! Soooooo chilled. As the winter cold draws in, put the headphones on, the volume up loud and just slip back to  the summer...

HAIM - Don't Save Me - (Cyril Hahn Remix)

Lets go electro... Cyril moves in a new direction. Thoughts? Not as soulful as perhaps we've come to expect, but a winner none the less.

Sonny Fodera - Work

Slamming deep house with a strong, looping vocal. Put your body to work and get dancing!

PIRUPA- PARTY NON STOP (VOCAL MIX)

"Party non-stop! Let's have a little bit of fun now... "
Seriously deep house for mid-evening madness. Or, if you're like me, midday work soundtrack.

NU - MAN O TO - Katermukke

Lets take it to another place.... a weird one....

Kolombo - My Own Business (Original Mix)

"I want it all; money, fast cars
Diamond rings, gold chains and champagne
Shit, everydamn thing
I want it all; houses, expenses
My own business, a truck, hmm, and a couple o' Benz's
I want it all; brand new socks and drawls
And I'm ballin everytime I stop and talk to y'all
I want it all, all, all, all
I want it all, all, all, all, all !"

Maceo Plex & Jon Dasilva - Love Somebody Else feat. Joi Cardwell (Ellum ...

Blood Diamonds ft. Grimes - Phone Sex (Unicorn Kid remix)

Grimes and Unicorn Kid come together to deliver a sultry sound complimented by steel drums, heavy stylised synth and a seriously sexy piano riff. Check it.

Monday 22 October 2012

Melé - Gold Casio

This has been a good night for music. Short and anything but sweet. This sampler from up and coming Liverpudlian dj Mele is brutal.

Unicorn Kid - True Love Fantasy ft. Talk to Animals

Listening to this track made me grow a horn and prance...

Disclosure - Control (ft. Ria Ritchie)

'Just take control!' - Seems that the garage sound is back with a vengeance. Watch this space and keep your ears pinned. This one's going to be big...

Cyril, we just can't get enough...

I know I should probably rename this the Cyril Hahn blog, but its just too good to ignore. Mixes this captivating and well-crafted are few and far between. Follow Cyril Hahn on soundcloud and you'll get them every week....

Byrd Is His Name

It's sometimes all too easy to ignore the under the radar djs and producers on the net these days. Check out Byrd for a get up and go funky mix.

Monday 15 October 2012

Fast paced and exciting. Check it out now... You'll thank me later.

Stay+ - "Crashed" ft. Queenie (out soon on Black Butter) by Black Butter Records

Alpines - Chances (Cyril Hahn Remix)

Another incredible remix from Cyril Hahn. Simply exploding onto the scene around the world, Hahn's distinctly smooth r&b inspired sound is by far one of the most innovative and exciting of the year.

Sunday 14 October 2012

Tommy Trash - Monkey See Monkey Do

Just rock it MONKEY!

TJR - Funky Vodka [Rising Music]

Having looked back at my own posts, I realise what a soppy little emo I sound like, its time to pick things up. It may be Sunday, but when you listen to TJR, it feels like Friday every night of the week! Look back at your weekend, pick your favourite moment and relive it.

Its Funky Fresh and is the perfect antidote to the oncoming monday blues. Just let yourself go and get in the groooove.

Maya Jane Coles - Little One

There comes a time in every dance music lover's life when a void appears. Whether you're a drum n bass raver, a bass head waiting for the next heavy drop, or an all-electro lover, the evening passes in a heady blur and you slowly face the new light of day. Emptiness, exhaustion, embarrassment over the previous night's activities. This is the cure,... the remedy. It is at this very moment that house comes into it's own. Take a shower, kick back in a towel and dance on your own.

Hit it.

All I Need - Blue 6 - Album Mix - Naked Music

Ok, ok. For those that know, I'm going through a streeeeesssssfull time atm and was about ready to go into full meltdown until I put on this beat. All I need by Blue 6 is a melancholic classic and hell, if you need a chill out, get it on and reeeelaaaaaxxxx.

CRYSTAL WATERS - Gypsy Woman - Original Demo Mix

9 minutes and 48 seconds of this 1991 house classic. 21 years later and its still sounding strong.

Tanner Ross & Slow Hands - All The Same

Suh-mooth hit from Tanner Ross & Slow Hands. Release date yet to be confirmed, but its one to watch.

Receiving airtime from Annie Mac and across the airwaves, Duke Dumont's - No Money Blues is a bass-heavy house belter. Check it, and wreck it.

Sunday 30 September 2012

Julio Bashmore - Au Seve

Attacking traditional house style with the trademark low-frequency influence of Bristol's bass scene, Julio Bashmore is rapidly establishing himself as a household name on the house scene. Bristol born and raised, Bashmore's music has recently started to gain greater recognition and has earned Julio a well-deserved spot every third Thursday of the month on BBC Radio 1's In New DJ'S We Trust show.

'Au Seve' was the official Outlook anthem this year. Hypnotically simplistic, whilst embodying the principles of expert craftsmanship and production.  

Monday 24 September 2012

Dada Life - Love Vibrations

Lets get back to the nitty-gritty. Feel the LOVE VIBRATIONS. An early track from the dynamic Swedish duo, instantly catchy and featuring hypnotic vocals and their trademark expanded basslines and mids.

"Can you feel it? In the AIR! In the AIR!"

CRYSTAL FIGHTERS "SWALLOW"

Continuing with the theme of dub-pop, Crystal Fighters describe their style of music as "fast, mesmeric and passionate". Incorporating elements of Basque folk with modern synth and experimental electronica, Crystal Fighters produce a unique sound that distinguishes them from many electronic bands today.Teaming up with producers such as Feed Me and attracting remixes from T.E.E.D and Passion Pit, Crystal Fighters' sound is exciting, original, and versatile and receiving more and more recognition as such.


Dropping a heavy dubbed up bassline at 1.05. Crystal Fighters earn their place on HOTDROP.ED with distinction.

Joburg Jam

Something a little bit different for a sunny Saturday afternoon. Pogo is an Australian producer who makes music from the sounds he hears in everyday life:

"The goal of my project is to travel the world capturing sights, sounds, voices and chords, and use them to compose and shoot a track and video for each major culture of the world."

Sit back, open a beer, and capture the last dying moments of the Summer sun with Joburg Jam.

Specimen A - Chasing Shadows ft. David Ivan (Original Mix)

Dubbed pop-step by some, we here at HOTDROP.ED can only say that if this is the future direction of pop, we're looking forward to it, but then again, we could just be chasing shadows....



For a bit of inspiration on a gloomy wednesday... ;)

Flight Facilities - Crave You (Adventure Club Dubstep Remix)

A stunning rework of Flight Facilities' Indy hit 'Crave You' by the enigmatic Adventure Club.

"It's true, I crave you."

Adele - Rolling in the Deep (SpectraSoul Bootleg)

Another fantastic bootleg of Adele's seminal 'Rolling in the Deep', brought to you by the soulful imaginings of SpectraSoul. A slow and deep drum and bass line, that rolls harmoniously with Adele's vocals, crank up the bass and connect to it.

Above & Beyond feat. Richard Bedford "Sun & Moon" (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

"I'm sorry baaaaby! You were the sun and moon to me! I'll never get over you..."

Featuring the captivating vocals of Halifax born Richard Bedford, HOTDROP.ED invites you to experience, arguably, one of Above & Beyond's most evocative music-videos. A rare acknowledgement of the internal side of male emotion, both video and composition are a potent reminder of the purpose of trance and the anguish of times gone wrong. Above & Beyond convey their direction in terms of sound and art, in a manner  few other dance acts can hope to match ...

Grimes - Genesis

Dressing like the type of girl HOTDROP.ED strongly avoids at festivals, maybe we should learn not to judge a book by its cover.... But when the cover is wielding a sword and dressed like some tripped out techno ninja, we're not too sure.... Either way, it's a cracking song.

Tuesday 11 September 2012

M-3ox ft. Heidrun - Beating Of My Heart (Original Mix)

Outro to the Tomorrowland Official After Movie 2012, M-3ox's Beating Of My Heart consists of a lively bass line, stunning vocals, and comes together to create an all-round uplifting tune. All they need to do now is get a decent name...

Martin Solveig - Night Out (A-Trak Remix)

Great song to get you pumped for friday night


Bromance? Or a little more than that....

HOTDROP.ED presents to you perhaps one of the first tracks to put the worldwide phenomenon that is Avicii into the public eye. For the uninitiated, Tim Berg/Avicii are pseudonyms for Tim Bergling, the Swedish DJ and producer that stormed the charts with the unstoppable 'Levels' earlier this year. 

The only question left to ask, is when does a Bromance become a little more than that.... Check out the video below to find out:

It's Friiiiiiiddddaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy.........

Feel your woes melt away with Fedde Le Grand's electro/tech house remix of Roger Sanchez's euphoric classic as HOTDROP.ED begins the countdown to the weekend!

It's a new dawn.....

It's getting later and the bottle of Shiraz in front of me is getting emptier. One last mellow and moody track from the Brown-educated (a.k.a. smart d.j.) Nicolas Jaar and then its time to hit the sack and up the tempo in the morning. Buenas noches all!

Rebel with a cause...

It's deep into the night and if you're feeling tight, kick back, relax, and get loose with Toddla T's 'Rebel' ft. rasta and performance poet Benjamin Zephaniah. Listen out for the 'drunken' (yeah, right) phone call Toddla T makes to Annie Mac featuring in the end of the track. You may, or may not know that Toddla T is actually engaged to the legendary Miss Mac, so it goes to show, that sometimes late night phone calls really can work.... although it helps if you're a hit d.j. of course.

Here at HOTDROP.ED, we believe in the power of music to inspire, encourage and give strength in any situation. Stressed? Worried about the future? Remember, THERE'S NO STOPPING YOU....

Disclosure

These guys are 17 and 20! And make ideal tunes for the post-night out window that is reserved for having a sit down and a sandwich.

Boiling

Alesso - Years

A euphoric house tune, doesn't sound like a bloke singing though


Nicky Romero and Zedd - Human

This is dirtier than an ash tray on a school bus when it gets going. Nicky Romero is playing at Ministry on the 14th and after seeing him at global, might have to go.

A language we can all understand...

Exploding onto this Summer's festival and e.d.m. scene, seemingly out of nowhere, Porter Robinson's language has become a go-to set piece for DJ's across the globe. Uplifting, bass and synth heavy and an artistic and interesting video. Definitely a top-ten hit of the Summer!

Again and Again....

In anticipation of the release of the 2012 Tomorrowland after movie, we present Basto's Tomorrowland classic. If you've not heard of Tomorrowland, in the words of Dimitri Vegas: "It's only the sickest f***ing festival in the world!"



We hope to see you there for 2013!

Pryda - SW4

Although HOTDROP.ED made it to the Sunday session of the craziest party on the common, SW4, we are ashamed to say we missed the man himself Pryda, dropping the eponymous smash-hit at it's very namesake on the Saturday!


Oh well, it's just as good sitting at home in your pants, listening through HOTDROP.ED!

Todd Terje - Inspector Norse [HD]

Good morning dance fans! Lets kick things off with the funky Todd Terje and Inspector Norse. Now this track has been uncertainly labelled 'nu-disco'; 'indy house'; 'funky nu-house'.... PISH! All you need to know is that it  IS funky and you SHOULD listen to it. 



Meet you at the Mothership... D.D.

Burial - Archangel (Uppermost Rework)

Drawing the night to a close with this beautiful rework of Burial's Archangel by Uppermost. Relax...., and enjoy.....



Peace and love. D.D.

Green Velvet - La La Land

If you know it, relive it, if not, let no man say we at HOTDROP.ED don't care about your education! Green Velvet, the man, the myth, the legend. Arguably his greatest hit, lets go down.. to.. La La Land....



I hope to see.. you.. soon.. in...D.D.

Pretty cool chilled one by those dudes who did the really catchy drum and bass song that's massively over-played by radio 1

This is a complete banger


Doctor P


Sweet video, good tune

Matt Lange - Rift


Nice bit of chilled progressive trance

Something special...


We can't help but be ashamed this has not yet featured on HOTDROP.ED. Released around this time last year, the Leeds lad, Miguel Campbell, mixes it up with a head bopping bassline that will get you salivating..... from your mouth.

Bingo Players - Rattle (Original Mix)
