Been a while since I've done this posting thing. So it's time I get back in the game. Nothing crazy to begin with, but it will all be back on track soon. Just need to download some music first, you should too. What better place to do so than right here on AtV. Anyway, remember to tell your girls: "Just don't bite it."
Ketslugs is a new project between two DJs in the south of France. Ketzian and OldSlugs, two friends from the French town of Perpignan, have very recently started to adventure into the wild world of production.
In order to hype up their new Ketslugs project, they've released this sweet 37 minute mix that highlights some of the most gifted talent in electronic music at the moment. Swag, the mix we're featuring today, is a solid selection of uptempo, somewhat unclassifiable house music. The producers featured in the mix are all known for blurring the lines between genres, and Ketslugs keeps the groove jacking around for the entirety of the mix. I dig the fact that it doesn't really stay in one particular vibe, and even though the tempo doesn't switch up too much, I must say that the mixing is pretty on-point as well.
And let's be honest, finishing with a little bit of Montreal flavour like ITFW and Lunice gains quite a few points in my book as well, haha.
Ketslugs will be releasing their first tunes on their soundcloud page soon, so I recommend that you bookmark it. If this mix is any indication, these two dudes have a great ear for selection, rhythm and style, and their future productions are bound to reflect that. Keep an eye out.
Busy, busy, busy. I'm falling behind schedule, goddamn it. Work is getting in the bloody way of giving you that hot fire. I'll be dropping a bunch of dope profiles in the next few days to make up for this gaping hole in posting.
Brand new tune from the great Justin Vernon. I'm a pretty big fan of Bon Iver, as I think it is one of the most interesting folk projects of the past few years. This new offering is somewhat stripped-down, but very beautiful nonetheless.
Ethereal vocal samples + haunting drum loops + dreamy synths = amazing. I'm having trouble communicating exactly why Hyetal is one of the most exiting new producers in the game, to be honest. It's just an innate feeling. Diamond Islands is sensual and somewhat melancholic. A georgeous tune, to put it simply.
Great remix of Undercover by one of my favorite acts, those warriors of radness, Twin Shadow. It is a strange remix, a bit all over the place in terms of arrangements, but it still retains the poppy melodies and 80s grooves that Twin Shadow is so well-known for.
What a rough weekend. Totally exhausted. Here's some relatively laid-back tunes to ease you into the week ahead. Pretty solid selection, if I do say so myself.
