HARD Gets Haunted

October 15, 2010

In an attempt to hype up a pair of very intimidating Halloween jams in Los Angeles, HARD have commissioned Mr. Ed Banger, aka Pedro Winter, aka Busy P, as well as Mr. Tastemaker, aka Louis Brodinski to put together a little promo mix. The compilation certainly doesn’t lack star power, and embodies 17 thrashing tracks fusing everything from electro to techno and back again. It would be kinda silly to point out one or two cuts worth paying particular attention to, as this mix sets the standard for today’s most relevant electronic music. Love it or hate it, this mix bumps hard and is guaranteed to incite the masses.

What’s Good Wednesday!?

September 8, 2010

You can always count on TIFF (Toronto International Film Festival) to blow the doors off of every evening establishment in the city. Go ahead and take a stroll through your favorite borough in the city, you’ll be sure to find a blockbuster booking at the club nearest you. Although, we would ask you to be weary of the overly-pretentious douche-bags who tend to lurk the streets during a festival such as this. Regardless, with names like Armand van Helden, Popof, Busy P, Mehdi, SebastiAn, Mowgli, Jimpster, Sharam and Kim Fai all flying in — this weekend has the potential to be very very special. We haven’t even ironed out an agenda as of yet, it’s just too difficult to decide.

À La Carte

May 14, 2010

The sudden collaboration of superstar solo DJ talent seems like the trendy thing to do nowadays, and one would only have to site the likes of ZZT (Zombie Nation & Tiga), Major Lazer (Diplo & Switch), Boys Noize & Erol Alkan, and Duck Sauce (A-Trak & Armand Van Helden), among a few others. Well, you can now add DJ Mehdi and Riton to this prestigious list — under the moniker Carte Blanche, and we couldn’t think of a more chic duo at this point in time.

Our love affair with Mehdi dates way back, but was set in stone this past March when we spent a number of hours in this suave frenchman’s presence during Miami’s Winter Music Conference. It was there that we were first introduced to Carte Blanche’s big single Gare Du Nord, specifically at the White Room during a jumbled triple team set by Brodinski, Mehdi and Busy P. Not surprisingly, the track went off like a firecracker and induced the crowd into some serious jacking. This doesn’t even account for the fact that the presence of Riton seemingly pushes this duo over the top, both in the production room and when they spin live.

Although we’re not giving out Gare Du Nord, we are dishing you another very fresh cut from Carte Blanche’s five-track Black Billionaires EP. The tune goes by Jigga Bite and stands alone for its contagious groove.

HARD Party

March 25, 2010

In just a couple of hours, this quaint aquatic paradise will host the widely-renowned Hard Pool Party, which will feature the likes of Erol Alkan, Boys Noize, Busy P, Mehdi, Fake Blood, Aeroplane and too many more to mention. The glimmering venue pictured above is literally our next door neighbor, the ultra-chic Fontainebleau Hotel. Though the sun is well from full blaze, we’re looking at daytime highs in the twenty-eight degree range, with minimal cloud accumulation. Just in case you don’t believe us, peep a twitpic taken by Boys Noize Recordings artist Housemeister just moments ago.

Enough with the nostalgic scene illustration, let’s get to the latest work from the aforementioned Housemeister, and his track featured on the Miami Noize Sampler. The track is fittingly called Famous, as the stars have unquestionably come out this weekend. The track itself builds nicely, with a distinct arpeggiator throughout, climaxing with some psycho synths. (Also, don’t fret over the small meg size, the track is certainly 320kbps).

Vive Le France

June 9, 2009

Nil Hartman

Nil Hartman (pictured above) provides us with a refreshing reminder – not all tracks that circulate within the electronic Blogosphere need to have wonky bass-lines, or gully drops. Hartman, a 24-year old, born in Lyon, France has been making some serious noise on the Gourmet Recordings Label, with the public support of Ed Banger boss-man Pedro Winter.

Hartman’s latest track “La Datafunk”, celebrates everything beautiful about French electro – it’s liberating, freewheeling, and eccentric in its own blameless way. Though it might not fit into your track-list for this upcoming weekend, the work definitely deserves a thorough listen, as a reminder that experimental electro is still very much alive.

What Would Pedro Do?

May 29, 2009

Busy-P

Exactly twenty-four hours ago, Mr. Pedro Winter aka Busy-P, the patriarch of Ed Banger Records, descended upon Queen West, and completely blew the doors off of Wrongbar. That glorious day (Wednesday May 27th) also marked the inception of this very blog, as we officially acquired the domain “electrotoronto.com”.

Aside from this unavoidable nostalgia, Busy-P’s set was ridiculous through-and-through, and it would be silly to ignore his brilliance in our maiden post. One track in particular that had myself and those around me gasping for air, was a throw-back tech house track from Oliver Huntemann, by the name of “Rubin”.

“Rubin”, though almost three years old, proved to be timeless in Winter’s set, and brought the Wrongbar faithful back to Huntemann’s acid house days in North Germany. A minimalistic harpsichord synth, a growling baseline, and a well thought-out progression highlight this work- have a look.

Ah yes, and on behalf of myself (The Vamp), and my trusty accomplice Stonewall Trackson, we would like to formally cut the ribbon, and welcome you all to our humble electronic sanctuary. Now, the only focus is on dreams.
