Claude VonStroke Green Velvet Team Up As Get Real

This is becoming the decade of DJ pair-offs, which is certainly not a bad thing. We’ve previously seen team-ups like Bauuer and Just Blaze’s Big League Tour, Lunice and Hudson Mohawk coming together as TNGHT and currently Skrillex and Diplo are getting ready to rave up Madison Square Garden this New Year’s Eve.

So, much to the delight of everyone, Dirty Bird’s Claude Von Stroke and Relief Records’ Green Velvet are teaming up as Get Real, for a set of trailblazing sets at the end of the month. Having recently played some back-to-back sets in Miami, Las Vegas and Chicago, the two flag-carrying house and techno greats will be hitting up Loa Angeles, Detroit and Chicago. No word yet on any collaborative singles between the two, but one can only hope something gets real over all this quality time together.

Get Real Tour Dates

December 27th – Exchange LA – Los Angeles

December 28th – Elektricity – Detroit, MI

December 29th – The MID – Chicago, IL

Matrixxmann to Release New EP ‘Nubian Metroplis’ on Dekmantel

The Amsterdam-based label Dekmantel has been having a pretty good year and it’s not over yet. They’re capping off their 2014 with a record by emerging beat maker, Matrixxman (a.k.a. Charles M. Duff). On the Nubian Metropolis EP, the San Francisco-based DJ/producer employs an arsenal of infectious grooves that run the gambit of techno and house, with tracks that range from early ’90s-style Chicago house to more modern, electro pumpers.

Matrixxman has been having a busy year, DJing shows all over the globe (he recently just debuted in Italy for PWP Sounds’ Back To The Future show). Nubian Metropolis is his first release for Dekmantel and will hopefully be the first of many releases for the influential label.

Nubian Metroplis is out December 12. Check out a preview below.

Every year around the holiday season there’s always some new charity compilations, which are definitely a great thing. Unfortunately, many of said comps are not worth even a cursory listen.

Eats Everything to Release ‘Fries With That?’ DJ Mix Album

We all know Bristol-born house DJ/producer Eats Everything cuts a great 12”, and we all know he spins a good DJ set, so why such a wait on a take-home DJ mix album? Perhaps he was just waiting for the most opportune time but alas, that time is now, and it’s a king-sized, 130-minute experience called, excellently enough, Fries With That?

Divided into two sections (a hearty “Main Course,” followed by “Dessert”), this set includes a wealth of eclectic artists from the Eats Everything record box, including Jose Nunez, Flux Mode, Mr. G, the Creator Session, and a ton more. Speaking of the set, Eats (a.k.a. Dan Pearce) explains, “These mixes have been a labour of love for me, and something that I really wanted to get across in the right way. Disc One is a collection of records that I am really feeling at the moment and hope will stand the test of time as a mix CD that you can listen to for years to come, whilst Disc Two is basically a collection of ‘my classics’, either records I grew up with, ones that got me into house/techno, or I have discovered along the way and have become classics to me, even if I have only known them for a short while.”

It’s a tall order but one worth gorging on. In the meantime, chew over the track listing below while listening to Eats’ recently released 4×4 remix of Tiga’s “Bugatti.” Fries With That? is out January 26, 2015 on Hypercolour. Continue Reading →
