New Release Review: LUKE FAIR

[wp_ad_camp_2] [wp_ad_camp_1] Reviewed by Eversun There was once a time when the groovy sounds of disco was the norm, but as the techniques and technology used in electronic music has evolved the true disco sound has become somewhat a rarity. However there are some producers who have learned to effectively modernize the sound while still keeping true to the roots, Toronto house legend Luke Fair is one those producers. Released on Spirit soul, Gravitron offers two Originals (Gravitron, Blueshift) as well as two remixes of the title track by Silver city and the Babel Orchestra and a remix of Blueshift by Phunktastike. The original mix of Gravitron starts us off with a perfect introduction to the sounds of "Discoteca" as it is often called. Full of energy and melodic impact, and a...

New Release: TUBE & BERGER – PLEASURE DIP

EDM NEWS, NEW RELEASES, TECH HOUSE

[wp_ad_camp_2] [wp_ad_camp_1] Reviewed by Eversun Coming straight off the momentum of the highly successful Lovebreak (Number 1 on the Beatport general top 100 chart), Tube and Berger have taken little time to bring us more of their signature deep vibes with their 2 track release on Suara Pleasure dip. The A-side In my dip has a similar vibe to Lovebreak featuring a wicked build up of ambiance and melodies before dropping to a jaw dropping bass heavy groove. This tune has all the elements necessary to drive a peak time house crew into a frenzy. Imprint of pleasure takes a more organic approach using elements of western and middle east sounds to carry the track. The melodic guitar based groove creates a great aura for relaxing outside of the club yet contains enough energy to...

The Upbeats BRING THE NOISE!

DRUM & BASS, EDM NEWS, NEW RELEASES, REVIEWS

[wp_ad_camp_2] [wp_ad_camp_1] Reviewed by Eversun Diffused is the latest release from New Zealand Drum and bass duo The Upbeats, featuring 2 brand new originals (Diffused and Undertaker) and remixes of the title track from S.P.Y. and Opiuo. Being released on Noisia's Vision Recordings, you can expect to hear the dark styled drum and bass that label owners Noisia are known for. Diffused uses deep rolling sub bass and crazy percussion/Breaks patterns to bring out a tune that is absolutely full of energy. Undertaker is a full-on neuro jump up tune with a real Noisia-esque glitched out bass line. The S.P.Y. remix offers a different take on Diffused with a more straightforward approach to the drums and an epic offering of sub bass whilst still retaining the overall vibe of the ori
