Classics Receive a Facelift | Jacques Renault – ’100% Gomma’

After fighting through 2 hours of traffic and maneuvering my way out of 495′s rush hour nightmare, I’m finally well-feed (big salad for dinner,) relaxed and able to blog before heading to bed. There are many things I’d love to post at this moment, but I’ll have to take care of that in the morning. So shall we finish the night off with some rare Gomma classics remixed by Jacques Renalt? Yes, we shall.

Brooklyn-based DJ/Producer Jacques Renalt  has released a delicious 60-minute mix for Gomma Records, a Germany-based label who’s Moullinex, Mercury, and a handful of artists that produce house and other variants of EDM.

The mix, 100% Gomma, takes some of the rare 12 inch tracks and gives them a fresh new facelift. Jacques Renalt surely knows what he’s doing and this mix is a smooth, boogie-infused ride.

Tracklist:
1) Leroy Hanghofer – Pin (Jacques Lu Cont Remix) 2) Dimitri From Paris & Los Amigos Invisibles – Glad To Know You (Ray Mang Flying Dub) 3) Capablanca & T. Keeler – No Hay Dub 4) GBs – Lucky In Vichy 5) Severino Horse Meat Disco – Bounce 6) Daniel Avery & The Deadstock 33s – Nylon Icon 7) Headman – It Rough (Chicken Lips Remix) 8) Baldelli – Phobos 9) DJ Steef – Venusian Missing 10) The Glimmers – Awake 11) Munk – Keep My Secret (Jacques Renault Remix) 12) Mercury – Man 13) The Barking Dogs feat. Tom Trago – Your High 14) Telonius – Control 15) The Deadstock 33s – Tic Tic Toc

Fall In Love With Jessie Ware’s ‘Imagine It Was Us’ Music Video

With production by Julio Bashmore (who will be playing @ U Street Music Hall this Friday,) it would be insane not to fall madly in love with Jessie Ware’s hit single, “Imagine It Was Us.”

The UK-based soul singer shows us how to dance and have a good-ass time living it up! The track is addictive, but the music video is even more-so an eye-catcher. From the fabulous guys dancing, the club-scene popping, and the drinks flowing, there is no way you could hate these video.

Check out the video and groove to the addictive vocals of Jessie Ware and the majestic bass lines courtesy of Julio Bashmore.

Nu Disco | Crayon & Pyramid – ‘So Far So Gone’ EP [KITSUNÉ]

French label,KITSUNÉ, has had a handful of great releases covering the genre of Nu Disco. In the past I’ve checked out a few of their artists and I’ve been digging what I’ve heard, but I must say I’m really impressed with Crayon & Pyramid’s label debut EP So Far Gone.

The EP is the perfect Nu Disco soundtrack to vibe to over a Blue Moon and some Converse sneakers. Weird combination, but that is the first thing that comes to mind. You’ve got to get your hipster on when listening to this EP.

Nurvous Records | Just Kiddin Release First EP of 2013 – ‘Intimacy EP

It might sound like something you’d say after an awkward (or failed joke), but Just Kiddin is an insanely dope house music production duo from Leicester, Britain. Even though they are UK based, their music is internationally recognized and their first EP of 2013 was released last week on New York Based label, Nurvous Records.

Intimacy is the new EP from Just Kiddin and it’s a certified awesome collection of massive house tracks. The three tracks “I Want U,” “Soul Drop,” and “Pray” are recognized as “three of their strongest tracks to date.” With these massive releases, the Just Kiddin is adding more accolades to their status quo as a strong force to be reckoned with in the house music community.

Peep the three tracks below, as well as the official music video for “I Want U.” If you love what you’re hearing, then head over to Beatport and buy the EP. Click here to buy! :

Strictly House | VA – Talking House Vol.1 (LTH001D) 2013

Stockholm-based record label Local Talk recently released a bangin’ new EP that is strictly for the house headz. If you like house, wait no, If you love house, then you need to check out Talking House Vol.1.

The EP has a great selection of tracks that were selected by Mad Mats + Tooli. Now if this is your first time getting down with house, then you need to listen to Fubert’s track, “First Time House.” It has a pure house vibe that is reminiscent of the classics.

For those of you who like your bass hard, raw, and hard (emphasis on hard,) then you’ll like DJ Steaw’s track “Sky Hunt.“

The EP has a lot of great tracks, so you owe it to yourself to give them all a listen. But if you’re feeling moody, then jam out to the sounds of Dirtytwos “Moody (Original Mix.)”

My favorites: “Moody,” “Heart Attack,”"MAW Basics (Gerd’s NY Stomp Mix)”
