GRUM’s video to the brand new single Can’t Shake This Feeling.

Happy St. Patty’s Eve!

Hey everyone, sorry about the lack of music the past couple days… I honestly meant to toss this up yesterday so my bad. However in doing so I sat on these tracks a little bit longer and can tell you quality is about to follow. Now lets get to it…

To start things off right we have another remix from the King Midas of remixes- GRUM. Everything he touches turns to gold. No joke.. have a little gander at the past here. The newest has been classified as ‘unbelievable’ and has a dirty bass line that will no doubt reinvigorate the dance scene wherever it is played.

♫ TV Rock feat Rudy – In The Air (GRUM Remix)

Russ Chimes needs little introduction. If you don’t know much about him by now I’m sure you’ll take one listen and want to click here for more.

♫ The Vanish – Hold On (Russ Chimes Remix)

Cassette Culture indulge us with a delicious synth-licious remix to Passion Pit’s hit Sleepyhead. Real chill but vibrant all at the same time… can’t go wrong at all.

♫ Passion Pit – Sleepyhead (Cassette Club Remix)

YES! Seal! Who needs to be kissed by a rose when you can have a Thin White Dukes mix that combines a space-odyssey style of disco-electro beats with Seal’s legendary vocals?

♫ Seal – Amazing (Thin White Dukes Main Mix)

A dance anthem like no other, the Nightriders remix to Teen Scream Machine can only be played on one volume level and that is LOUD. You can’t just listen to this track you need to feel it- deep in your bones. Turn it up, have a listen, and then tell me what you think!

♫ Don Diablo – Teen Scream Machine (Nightriders Remix)

Real catchy but about a week old, Falke’s new mix to Florrie’s 911 harnesses that real mainstream vibe that I think many people are looking for when transitioning from pop to disco-electro. Stellar stuff.

♫ Florrie – Call 911 (Fred Falke Remix)

Who doesn’t like Johnatron? I know I do.

♫ Johnatron – Magic Missile

We are excited to announce the new(ish) Aerial Noise Inbox.  We attempted to get this rolling awhile ago but it had a few bugs so now after moving servers, and with a little help from fairtilizer.com, we’re going to try to get it going again.

The inbox serves as a spot where anonymous users (such as yourself) can upload audio files directly to us. This is a quick and easy way to send us a quick fix on new beats you may want to share with us. Sometimes our email account gets overloaded and we have trouble responding to everyone.  We still do listen to everything that comes our way (I generally try to clean out all the tracks at least once weekly).

We recommend using this if you’ve been featured on here before (so we already know who you are as an artis and require little additional information)- but if you do have news that you want to share, please still hit us with an email.

So to access the Inbox in the future click the ‘AERIAL NOISE INBOX‘ link located under our ‘Network Us’ section in the toolbar on the left.

Mick Match (DJ, Producer, Composer, Entertainer Extraordinaire) is Mix Chopin, a side project to Mix Match aka mXm. With a fresh face, Mix Chopin is set on reinvigorating the funk-electro scene. Ecliptic was the first to hit me with tons of great samples poking through, and then I heard Levitate… This is an exclusive off the upcoming EP to be released shortly. It packs in so much flavour its hard to get a taste of it the first time around.

The new EP is sure to be hot so stay tuned to Mix Chopin’s myspace for a release date.

Back with another quick installment of some great tracks…

Fabian’s new mix to Oh Shit! & Night Drugs’ Everybody Needs has become my new favourite track over the past week. It’s scrumptiously filled with delightful disco beats and rockin’ verses that will have you moving. Then of course you have Fabian who puts it all together and makes you happy you are still on the dance floor at 1:18. Altogether now…

♫ Oh Shit! & Night Drugs – Everybody Needs (Fabian Remix)

This new Rockets remix fell just short of Fabian’s but I mean those rifts are hard to compete against. The Rockets have hit us before (see MAU remixes) so if you’ve been paying attention to them you would know by now that they have what it takes to compete with the big names out there. This new remix is further proof. Keep an eye on these guys throughout 2010! Big things are on the horizon.

♫ Butterfly Bones – Crystal Caves (Rockets Remix)

Studying has been nearly impossible with the fantastic weather we have been having. Sun and warm weather makes the fresh spring tracks start to come to the forefront of my playlists. One of my recent favourites to grasp this light sound is the band Kisses with Bermuda. It’s captures that cottage/waterfront/boozin’ atmosphere we all love so much up here in the North. I think it’s fantastic.

♫ Kisses – Bermuda

The bass – vocal combo Error :: Love do to Saycet’s Opal is simply one of a kind. A splash of fresh summery vocals with a hypnotic beat makes this track catchy as hell. Its been around before but damn I love it.

♫ SayCet – Opal (Error :: Love – Opalowsky Remix)

BONUS!

Alright this warm weather really is incredible… GO OUTSIDE!

♫ Cults – Go Outside

The Middle Eastern conceit has been frequently used in music to express and encapsulate how foreign a world can be. At times it has been used to turn a great track into a groundbreaker (the Ofra Haza sample on Eric B. and Rakim’s “Paid In Full”) while at other times create an otherworldly sound. San Diego recluse Gonjasufi
clearly has the latter in mind. Over the course of 19 tracks, he conjures the dark magic of Primal Scream’s XTRMNTR and the mixed motifs of Mos Def’s The Ecstatic.

Aided by producers Flying Lotus and Mainframe, Gonjasufi’s mumbled melodies and beds of music continue to shift like sands beneath your feet. One minute you are bobbing to the hip-hop nod of “Ancestors” (whose pinched sitar samples will soon be lifted by countless others), then straining to hear him duet with angelic female voices over plucked guitar and harp strings in “Sheep.” The minute you think you have figured out that the record is a potent Ninja Tune-ish hip-hop/electronic record, Gonjasufi hits you the distorted music hall/garage pop of “She Gone” which features a blistering guttural scream that leads perfectly into the psychedelic grunge of “SuzieQ.”

Beyond that “A Sufi and A Killer” has 12 more songs to go. If this sounds like an intoxicating journey, take the first step with “Ancestors.”

The Canadian producer Arturo found us earlier through a spectacular soundscape entitled Transcendence. It’s pretty impressive. Recently the Victoria-native turned towards refining others in some light disco remixes. Islomania remains my favourite and holds onto the light, dreamy disco vibe that Arturo captures so brilliantly.

What the fuccck is a Round-Up?

AN Definition: Round Up [round] [uhp] (n.)

- Is my way of trying to keep with life and music at the same time for the next little while.

For a more detailed explanation:

Overwhelmed with school I’m forced to do round-ups for the next month or so.  I don’t have the time to individually wrap up some of these artists below… or those in the coming weeks for that matter. For that I apologize as everyone of these featured artists deserves their own spotlight and their own extensive tribute. My comrades will no doubt keep you updated as usual while I slow down so there’s no need to worry about a lack of material hitting the site. But I figured I deserved you all an explanation for the slight deviated role and appearance you’ll see in March. I prefer to do the one artist-per-post style like the old AN so expect that to return late April if not sooner!

Much respect goes out to those who hit my round-ups… you are keeping me sane through the toughest part of my degree.  If successful I’ll see you on the other side of the stage- diploma in hand. Ha, wish me luck.

The crew from Van Go Lion, Amy Paige (Vocals/Lyrics) and Josh Loerzel (Keys/Music Production), dropped us a few new remixes that just tickled us right. Their electro-pop style is inspired by 1980s dance pop, lay down guitar and vocals on top of electronic MAC beats. In doing so, the duo create something unique and unfamiliar that’s oh so perfect for the genre they attempt to tackle. Fun and playful all around, it isn’t hard to want more.

♫ Van Go Lion – Excuses, Please

♫ Van Go Lion – Convenience Stores & Parking Lots

Beautiful and sunny today! Here’s what hit my speakers the last little while:

This new track from 19 year-old Melbourne producer extraordinaire Muffin made my day. Real synth-odyssey landscape stuff. Simply stellar. Thanks Too Many Sebs.

♫ Muffin – Seagulls

I always hold a special place for DCUP in my heart. The crew have recently graced my speakers with a ridiculous collaboration alongside Yolanda Be Cool.

♫ Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP – We No Speak Americano

I love this track. It’s been everywhere so I’m sure you’ve heard it but I felt I needed to toss it in somewhere. Softwar uses laid-back disco samples with the fruits of TDCC vocals to create some pure disco melodies. Soothing and intricate this track becomes real easy to lose yourself too.

♫ Two Door Cinema Club – Undercover Martyn (Softwar Remix)

BONUS!

The mainstream dance party track of the week goes to an aggressive edit of Young Money’s Bedrock by the Vindata crew.

Floating Points has released a blistering array of singles, all linked together through a common thread that I like to call the “underrhythm.” This subdued constant pulse is altered by minimal electronics, some melodic or some near atonal. The beat itself rarely reaches a volume in the mix to result in pounding temples. Instead, it occupies your chest where it pumps like a heartbeat even after the song is over.

“People’s Potential” is the realization of these ideas. A simple loop over a minimal melody placed above a fierce groove. Even as the hi-hats sizzle like disco, the aforementioned underrhythm propels the song in the same way a booming beat does in a hip-hop song. The result is a track that resonates inside you, long after you stopped listening.
