Shadow Child and Kry Wolf have more in common than just their wonderfully emo-sounding names. They are both UK-based and recently started their own label together called Food Music. Shadow Child and Kry Wolf as separate ingredients are great, but mix them up and you get something gourmet. “So High” by Shadow Child is such a heavy track that it makes me giddy. I want to listen to this track in a room full of huge speakers.
Kry Wolf has become a force to be reckoned with in the underground UK scene over the last couple of months. There is such a wide range in their style of music that they have something for everyone to enjoy.
After a seriously amazing friend scored us tickets to a very intimate preview of Dirty South‘s new album “Speed of Life”, my faith in house music has been completely renewed. Booming basslines met emotional vocals to delicately pattern the beautiful melodies developed by Mr. Roganović (read: Serbian-Australian hotness). Enjoy the shit out of these two — happy ravin’ Thanksgiving!
20-year-old Aussie deej hits money again with his latest, a beautiful, instrument-filled remix of “Atlas Hands”. Thomas Jack has really grown into his own with these happy-go-lucky, funkier pop songs. Each new remix has an unexpected twist to it that gives it a smooth, beachy feel… great stuff :)

I had the pleasure of going to Ibiza this summer, and I am stoked to share that Deep House was EVERYWHERE. While at Amnesia in Ibiza, I asked a guy from New York if he liked deep house as much as me. “No,” he replied, “I need lyrics.” Well ya know what, Amurrica: time to take some note.
Let’s start with “On My Own”. T. Williams and Tala gently ease the progressive-types into the deep house groove. T. Williams, a UK native, is currently on tour with Disclosure. What are you waiting for? Go get a ticket!
Getting a little deeper now, this gem called “Boy I Know” by TruStep.

Update (9/15): With a full leak coming two days in advance, here is the official version of “You Make Me” :)
I can’t wait any longer– Quick on the curtails of the announcement of his closing set for the first night of the ever-epic Electric Zoo comes an ‘exclusive’ rip of the second single from Avicii’s forthcoming album, entitled “You Made Me”…and it’s damn good.
8 days and counting…
We saw airy vocals and heavenly melodies in his last album, “Fire & Ice”, but Kaskade‘s latest album, “Atmosphere” (iTunes), has a much darker feel almost resemblant of the latest fad-genre, deep house. With three tracks labeled simply after airport terminals (“MIA to LAS” is a favorite), and only half with vocals, it’s clear Kaskade wants to be separated from his established position in house music. Yet…I hold onto my favorite discotheque-Kaskade days and proclaim my favorite to be this speedy, upbeat track. Either way, buy this albummmm…
One little raver-rant though, after the break (if you care)…

I felt in the air, I swear. That foreboding silence of an oncoming major record… Avicii’s “True”.
Not due ’til September 13th, the album leaked almost a month early, and can be listened to in its entirety on YouTube. The album stays the course of Avicii’s latest country twang, but brings back that familiar happy, dance-party sound we all first fell for… All in all: damn good. Available for pre-order on iTunes here.
