Issue 57 / 2013
Artist of the month
Calvin Harris
Sleep
Many underground house music producers come and go in the
international DJ scene these days. Digital music has definitely
changed the pace of the business; these days being a recording artist is a risky challenge to take. As they say, by the time you give up,
it is the time you get what you want, so to speak.
Medlar's Sleep is a shout out to any copycats that want to sound
like top producers. The LP reveals a great story influenced by jazzy,
weird sample infused sounds and Chicago House, which gives it a
soundscape that takes you into Medlar's world.
TRack of the month
Undoubtedly, these last few years have belonged to Calvin Harris in terms of
success on the charts and dancefloors across the world.
The Scottish DJ and record producer has had a string of hits including two Top 10 hits featuring fellow superstars Tinie Tempah and Ellie
Goulding. "Under Control" follows suit with its rave synths and pumping drums blending into a cocktail which is certain to drive party
goers into a fist-pumping frenzy. Swedish DJ Alesso lends his production talents to the track and the combination results in a release
that will be on repeat in every DJ's decks.

OUR PLAYLIST
Here's the house/techno on our playlist this month
Max Graef
Broken Keyboard EP (Jungle)
19 year old Max Greaf marked 2013 with 4 great EPs. Graef fixed his
name into the underground disco-house scene with great tracks
such as "Biting" aided by his production partner, Andy Hart, and his
remix for Brandt Bauer Frick on K7! Records.
His latest EP titled "Broken Keybord" ,on Detroit Swindle's Heist
Recordings, is full of percussive goodness and well selected disco,
funk and house music loops. The first track "Jungle" with the
partnership of Andy Hart is the big deal, as the title says, within the
first listen, you do feel in a jungle filled with tribalists and you're in
the middle dancing to their ritual music.
