Nick Olivetti - Looping Machine EP

Since Claude von Stroke started his Dirtybird label back in 2005 it's fair to say the brand has gone from strength to strength, recent releases such as Breach's 'Jack' and Justin Martin's 'Don't Go' cementing it's reputation as one of the major players in the House music scene today. As such when von Stroke decides to add a new name to a roster that has already featured some of the biggest names in House you know that the subsequent release is going to be pretty special, and Italian producer Nick Olivetti's new EP is just that.

Birmingham’s Tom Flynn makes his debut on dirtybird with this Caribbean jungle style house track, called Catch That Bird. Big support from Justin Martin, Nic Fanciulli & Claude VonStroke. Love this so much. Be sure to check out the other track on the EP, Rhode Island, which is a deeper db style cut.

Percolator (Claude Von Stroke Remix)

The story behind this track is just amazing (read about it after the jump). All the remixes are out on Beatport/iTunes on August 30th. Can’t wait to hear the Riva Starr’s effort - sounds massive live.

Some tracks just never fade. When Curtis Jones (aka Cajmere, aka Green Velvet) dropped “Percolator” in 1992, few would expect this bouncy booty house number would survive past a few novelty plays that summer. 18 years later and the cut has thrived across the dance music spectrum—from Detroit techno parties and European raves to Chicago juke gigs and B’more blowouts. Back in 2003, Jones gave his classic hit a few remixes of his own. But 2010 marks the first time other producers have laied legitimate hands on the stems. So now there’s versions by Major Lazer, DJ Chuckie, Claude Vonstroke, Riva Starr, Bad Boy Bill, Mixin Marc, DJ Gantman and Cajmere himself.

Grabbed from URB.
