Wolf-Mau5

WOW... this new collaboration between Deadmau5 and Wolfgang Gartner is quite a crowd pleaser. This track really does meld their two styles together well, very impressed on this one. Wolfgang is playing this year at Nocturnal Festival in Rockdale (?).... near Austin. As for the Mau5 news, Joel just announced his biggest UK tour to date which includes the highly talented Calvin Harris, someone I still have yet to see. So props to Benjamin for the epic discovery. As for the bonus track I have attached, it is an absolute gem I have been bumpin to lately and this one is a must.

Lunch in the KLAASroom

Klaas Gerling is a German producer and DJ who has had some really successful tracks all throughout Europe. He recently played at the Lizard Lounge in Dallas and I'm sure he blew up the house. These electro house tracks have a real grungy heavy synth throughout all of them and some are sure to get you head bumpin.

New Miami Horror + (kind of) New Noisia

Both Miami Horror and Noisia have new albums this year, and here's a tasty jam from each.

Miami Horror  is a mainly electro-pop group from Australia, they put out a lot of disco flavored tracks heavy on the synths.  This track is a standout from the new album, its got a real nice funky bassline that keeps the groove goin and is really key in creating build ups of energy throughout the song.  Nice vocals here too.

If you haven't heard any Miami Horror before, check out the song 'Sometimes.'

Noisia is a Dutch group that specializes in pretty intense drum n bass and electro house.  Although intense, this track doesnt get too crazy, and keeps a solid groove going with some cool riffs and effects that work well with the drum beat.  In my opinion it's the best produced track on the album.  Enjoy.

Sunny Dayz

Since it has been hot as wiener in Dallas I figured it was appropriate for some sunny songs. While they all differ from each other, that is not to say they are not all fresh tracks. Whether you chase, set, or love the sun these three tracks should brighten your day. Enjoy your meal!

DVAS and College

DVAS is a group with that French (Canadian) touch putting out house/electro jams with a strong 80's disco feel. They have a bunch of free mixes on that myspace so check it out.
Here's their new single 'Society.' A nice electro pop song drawing its power from that funky house/electro sound. Real cool breakdown.

Next up we have an earlier offering - nice bass drops 46 seconds in. If you like this jam, check out their other track 'Inner Sanctum.'
    DVAS - Forever by lunchjams.blogspot.com

Here is a remix by DVAS of the group College. They also have a free mix up on their myspace. College is one of the creators of the Valerie Collective, a blog/label putting out all sorts of 80's tinged French electro jams. Anyways, this remix has nice bass like 'Forever,' and a great breakdown section starting at about 2:42. The layers build up quite nicely, awesome sounding bends on the synths here.

I leave you with a track by College with vocals of the Electric Youth song 'Sailing' put over top. A simple, mellow track.

Deadmau5 + Rap =

Enjoy these two top notch mash ups. There are tons of rap over Ghosts n Stuff mash ups out there but they don't really come close to this one.

Adam K & Soha

This team puts out quality progressive house tracks.
First up we have an uplifting jam that remixes a cover of the classic 80's Peter Schilling song Major Tom. Really stoked on this jam right now. Here's da radio edit:

Obsessions

Wanted to post this first track for a while, and just found a buddy for it
Obsessions (The Aspirins For My Children Remix) by LunchJams
love the how the vocals work to build up energy until its released with the cool riff in the middle section. This dude (Aspirins For My Children) has a lot of cool jams. Check them out, especially:
Pinapple
Hollow Out

Here is the same song remixed by Ocelot (posted about them a little bit ago)

On another note, I just watched the badass movie The Harder They Come starring Jimmy Cliff, which features some great tunes.
Here are my favorites that you should definitely give a listen on the youtube or whatever:
Toots and the Maytals - Sweet and Dandy
Toots and the Maytals - Pressure Drop
Johnny Too Bad - The Slickers
and of course
The Harder They Come - Jimmy Cliff

Head Bangers

While it is unfortunate that my summer break is coming to a close, I cannot wait to get back to D-town (Dallas) and start off an awesome semester full of some badass shows. Of course Nocturnal is the obviously awesome music festival on labor day weekend, but also The Bloody Beetroots, Chromeo, Ratatat, Bassnectar.....just to name a few. So I thought I'd post a few more jams to get your head bangin' and your feet stompin. The first is a dirty Sub Focus remix of Rusko's new single, Hold on. I'm not usually a huge D&B fan but the rework on this track literally makes me melt. The second bumpin jam for your delicious lunch break is Steve Angello of SHM's new single KNAS. It's just one of those tracks that you know when you hear it, that you would go nuts if you heard it live....yeah that dank. Thirdly is a house track called Brap from Bart B More, and this one hits you hard where it hurts. And lastly for today kids is a Laidback Luke remix of Calvin Haris' You Used To Hold Me, and while there isn't much that I can say for this one that hasn't been said for the others, its simply a must have.

Pump It UP with Felguk

Felguk hails from the land of Brazil and throws down really sweet jams with a unique high energy electro house style. The thing about these tracks is they are just always holding down a super funky groove while at the same time throwing in little break downs and switch ups, creating numerous awesome buildups throughout. Take the first track for example- around 1:55, great breakdown section starting at 'bout 2:50, then when that bass comes back in at 4:30 its just plain bumpin.
Felguk - Buzz Me (Original Mix) by LunchJams
Next track- I really love the full bodied lead synth that switched from its original riff rhythm to the simpler straight rhythm during the build up in the second half.
Felguk - Side by Side (Original Mix) by LunchJams
Next up we got a fresh take on a real classic-----

Just a Couple Jams

Well it has been a while since my last post but that's not to say I haven't been updating my library. This first one i heard on XM Radio, which is the coolest thing since sliced bread. It's the Miles Dyson remix of Smart and Clever by Bruno Barundi and Victor Ruiz and has a real heavy Deadmau5-esque sound... definitely worth it. The second track is the new Underworld single Scribble remixed by Netsky. Its a catchy head bumpin track with a bit of a drum n bass beat, be sure to check it out.
