Hard Rock Sofa

Don't know much about this Russian trio. But their new release titled "Quasar" directed my attention to these guys who are undeniably a part of the recent emergence of Russian house music onto the world stage.

Felix Cartal

Felix Cartal is a name that I have always heard but never gotten around to listening to until recently. Big mistake. This Vancouver native is a dance music machine. His latest release entitled "Domo" shows of his clean production chops, penetrating rhythmic hits, and his firm grasp of melody and harmony. Some might find the drop to be a little too aggressive but i urge you to give it a shot on the dance floor before writing this one off completely. Also check out "Don't Turn Off The Lights", probably his most popular release and a solid track all around.

Bingo Players

Bingo Players, a Dutch production duo, is responsible for some of my favorite new discoveries. They combine a tasteful simplicity with catchy melodies to create raw dance-floor smashers.

L'Amour - Bingo Players

"L'Amour" is the latest release from the group. Few things in my library hit harder than the opening synth line in this track.

Rattle - Bingo Players

"dah dah dah dah . . . dah dah dah . . . dah dah dah . . . dah dah dah dah"

When I Dip - Bingo Players

Another great use of familiar sounds (trumpet in this case) to keep the groove simple and yet bumpin.

Cry (Just a Little) - Bingo Players

Their original hit; still a classic.

Hudson Mohawke

Hudson Mohawke is one of the most talented DJ's I have ever seen. He produces percussive hard hitting tracks that fall somewhere between Hip/Hop, R&B, and Dubstep, but none of these genres are really able to characterize the unique creativity he brings to his productions. His live sets are characterized by expressive mixing (a rarity these days) along with creative uses effects and loops to create entirely new soundscapes. Keep an eye on this Scotish producer as I am certain he will continue to bring something fresh to the table.
