Dungeon Sound (Pstgrd Remix)
My favourite remix of Gramatik’s new single, Dungeon Sound, which will be released on August 30th. Dark, soulful and funky trip-hop. Cold Busted can do no wrong.

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.
So yeah, I decided to this post tonight, because tomorrow is gonna be much busier I had originally planned. Above is the beach I will be spending the majority of my Holiday on, which means I won’t be blogging while I’m away. I’ve been holding most of these tracks back so that I could post them all together. If you have the time, then you should definitely check them all out.
While I’m here I would also like to say thank you to EVERYONE that has visited and supported the blog over the past few months. Never in my life did I expect to have nearly 12,000 views from over 2000 visitors. That’s just crazy.
Anyway, hit the jump for all the music.
Seeya in two weeks,
TC.
First up is a new track from (the beautiful) Michelle Owen, which is called Dee & Deaf. One of the funkiest tracks of 2010; she has created a sound that you don’t hear very often these days. I hope you can all guess which famous rapper/actor is on the vocals?
Secondly is my favourite of the 9 tracks. This is soulful house at its very best. The progression of the track is perfect and the use of the vocal from one of the greatest songs EVER simply make it one of the best tracks of the year. Producer goes by the name of Thyladomid and the track is entitled, The Voice.
“Birds flying high, you know how I feel”
Next up is ‘club banger’ from Matteo DiMarr. I’ve heard that this is getting played everywhere right now, and you can understand why. A very bass heavy progressive house track, which features a young man called Dashka who is rather good on the ol’ Saxaphone. Blower.
First remix in this post comes courtesy of my favourite DJ/House producer in the world, Mr. Jesse Rose. The track is called ‘Bit This Thin’ and is by Djedjotronic, who is singed to Boys Noize’s record label. Everything about this is spot on. Best remix from the EP that came out at the end of last month. Actually cannot wait to see Jesse at the end of August.
Second remix is by Huxley, and is of a track called ‘Gonna Be Alright’, which I used in my most recent mix. Not sure where the vocal is from, but it’s one of the best I’ve heard in a long time. Definitely a progression from Martin Dawson & Andre Crom’s original - funkier and much more enjoyable to listen to.
Here is a track from German producer Kabale Und Liebe, which features The Fog. Tech-House done right is the most exceptional sound in the world and this is the perfect example of that. Since You Looked Into My Eyes is something that I can see DJ’s playing A LOT over the next few months. Massive.
Two producers who have had a under-stated, yet superb 2010 are David Penn & Rober Gaez. This track, which is entitled ‘Sunshine People’, shows you what they are all about. Happy music, with a whole lot of groove, that your mum and dad will probably love too.
“Lets be happy”
The last remix is of Tom Demac’s ‘Crewcuts and Curls’ and comes courtesy of possibly the coolest man in the world; Jamie Jones. Since the release of his debut album, he has been rather quiet with his producing as of late, but he’s made up for this absolute JAM that is impossible to dislike. Guy is a genius.
Finally is probably the most beautiful of all the tracks I’ve posted. The production from Leif alone would have been sufficient, but with the stunning vocals of Donna Lea on top; this is just musical heaven. Priority is a special song and the perfect way to end this post.
Thanks for listening people.

Attik’s remix of Cee Cee Cox’s beautiful deep house track, Something About Her. A hypnotising piano loop, along with unique vocals and a punchy bassline make this one of my favourite remixes for a long while.
First up we have a spectacular Tech-House track from Paul C & Paolo Martini, which sums up everything I love about this genre. Progression of the track is second to none and the clever use of the vocal at the half way mark switches up the track beautifully. Could dance the night away to music like this.
Secondly is some new Afrojack, which features the wonderful Eva Simons. This isn’t really my kind of sound or ‘thing’ usually; however I have a feeling this is gonna be massive over Summer. Crazy track, which is entitled ‘Plug It In’.
Next up is a remix of Soul Clap’s new tune, Action Satisfaction, which is delivered by Lee Jones. Although I do love groove and vocals of the original; Jones’ remix pushes even further the boundaries of deepness established by the original track. Really sexy music.
Another track that I have been listening to a lot recently is one that probably doesn’t belong in this post. Even though I’m not a Swedish House Mafia fan at all, nobody can deny that they have absolutely smashed it with their new single, One. However; the Netsky remix blew me away more than all of the other versions on the EP. This guy has so much talent and has had a better year than most producers in any genre. Just a brilliant remix.
Finally is an AMAZING deep house track from two producers that I am not too familiar with if I’m totally honest (I know that one of them is German). Sasch BBC & Caspar have created the ultimate summer sound and I think it’s safe to say that this will be on repeat for quite a while. The track is called Camps Bay and it’s music that me, my mum, dad and sister will all enjoy. That’s a very rare trait for most electronic genres.
The (co)producers behind two of the biggest underground hits of 2009, ‘Pon di floor’ (Diplo) and ‘Hooligans‘ (Don Diablo), get together to make the world go ‘POP’ with their instant club smash ‘Make You Pop‘. To give you a first taste, the boys have agreed to share Don Diablo’s Dubstep Mix, which you can hear below.
Also; you can watch a video of the original sending lots of Norwegian people fucking mental here.
Remix of JK Soul’s new single The Music, by the brilliant Spaceflight Orchestra. Expected to be released August 11th on one of my favourite record labels; Cold Busted.
Just, listen.
Never in my life has a song put a smile on my face like this one has. If it doesn’t make you feel better about things, then I don’t know what will. Dance, like these women.
“Altogether now!”
This is an unofficial youANDme remix of Radioslave’s ‘K-Maze’ with the beautiful vocals of Marvin Gaye from the classic, ‘Got To Give It Up’.
WOAH!
3 new house beauties for you. First up is a track called Quartet by Feygin. An incredible musically-oriented piece, which offers a piano and sax duet which just creates THE most spectacular sound. Tech-House at its very best. Dance with me?
Next up is a remix from Made To Play’s very own, Renaissance Man. He magnificently transforms David E Sugar’s Party Killer into an obscure house track with nice breakdowns of quirky voices. Never disappoints.
Finally is Alejandro Vivanco’s remix of Format:B’s latest track, Full House. Frenetic and funky throughout; this is a track that I can see being a smash at certain festivals this Summer.
