river runs dry with drvgs

Today’s Untz: DRVGS / DVBBS & River Runs Dry / Gladkill

We’re on our way back from a hot and relaxing weekend in Florida. The hot sun jetting out its sweet, sweet Vitamin D can sure do a number on your soul. It feels great to have gotten out of the city, but I’m excited to return. Since I missed Friday’s untz I’m going to post two tracks today.

The first is a chilled out melodic remix of a DVBBS track from my buddy VOODOO FARM. Liam Dirlam, the mastermind behind this musical project, normally puts out tracks that bang pretty hard. This one certainly does just in a different way than what we’ve come accustomed to. I’m hoping we get to see this side of VOODOO Farm more. Having seen his productions skills evolve over the years, I know he’s capable of dominating any musical genre. It’s been fun to watch. Keep an eye out for some more remixes and an original album dropping in the future. The Future is bright for VOODOO FARM.

The second track is from Gladkill. He produced it a few months back and decided he wanted to share something new. It certainly is in the same chillstep, luvstep, whateverstep as the VOODOO FARM one. This song has a warped ninja dojo vibe to it. Dig it. tom/untz

Today’s Untz: I’m God / Clams Casino

Clams Casino, aka Mike Volpe, is an electronic musician and producer of hip hop music from the dirty Jerz. He’s produced beats for the likes of Mac Miller, Lil B, The Weeknd, A$AP Rocky, and many more. Here, however, we have an dreamy track with some spacey female vocals.

It’s a perfect song that soars above the clouds… sublime. It’s not reminiscent of Washed Out musically, but certainly brings about similar emotions. Go check out his soundcloud, download the tune, turn it up and go to wherever it is this song takes you. For me, it’s somewhere in between a scene on the Pacific Coast Highway and the picture above. Cheers. #untz/tom

Today’s Untz: Only Takes / Viceroy & WhiteNoize

‘it only takes a minute girl… to fall in love’

Another great weekend in the books. Tanlines crushed it this past Friday in SF  and we had great weather all weekend. The only thing missing was this summertime unicorn disco masterpiece released today by Viceroy.  This time around it’s an original track that’s been produced with WhiteNoize.

WhiteNoize consists of DJ and production team Chris Harnett and David Carvalho who make “electronic boogie music.” Seems like a natural fit with Viceroy, especially since all of them are based here in San Francisco. Not only does this town attract world class talent, but it also has it as well.

I’ll be on the lookout for WhiteNoize from now on as I already plan to catch Viceroy the next chance I have. This track is available now on Traxsource and available on Itunes, Beatport, etc. May 7th. #untz/tom

Today’s Untz: Cocaine (Eric Clapton Re Cut) / Lance Herbstrong

I first came across Lance Herbstrong when they were playing a festival called Holidaze down in the Mexican Riviera alongside The Disco Biscuits, STS9, and Umphrey’s Mcgee. They’ve got a really fun thing going it seems…. really cool mashups and edits, but not your typical cheese ball mashups.

A perfect song for a sunny Friday going into a fun night ahead . I’m checking out Tanlines tonight here in SF and I’m excited to see what they bring. Now back to Lance Herbstrong and what they have to say:

“Trusted Friends!

In honor of leap year, we can finally serve you Meth for Breakfast. After just a few listens you will lose your teeth. But fear not, gum jobs are back in favor, and your ears will forever thank you.

Love and Music. Spread it around. Download now at www.lanceherbstrong.com

-Kamal, Bill, and Pete aka Lance Herbstrong

PS – Don’t forget to send us your bank account info, as a rich uncle in Nigeria contacted us on your behalf and wants to send you money.” #untz/tom

Today’s Untz: Stars (Punks Jump Up Remix) / Rebeka

The Polish duet between a charismatic vocalist, Iwona Skwarek, and a compelling producer, Bartosz Szczesny, make up Rebeka. This gifted twosome of an emerging generation is not to be limited to any musical boundaries. “The laser versus the axe,” they say of their music, “it won’t be disco, rather resounding brass and diamonds.” Discotexas, a powerhouse of a label from Lisbon, Portugal, released their track “Stars” on the 20th.

“Stars” was mixed by Mirror People, who also did a club mix. The original, also great, can be downloaded for free here. Punks Jump Up delivered two remixes and Discotexas made an accoustic version! My favorite of them all is the one featured here today, followed closely by Mirror People. Check it out and enjoy. #untz/tom

Today’s Untz: Every Night I Say A Prayer (Tensnake Remix)/ Little Boots

Little Boots is back after some time off accompanied with a remix from Tensnake. I first heard this remix on The Magician’s mixtape and finally crossed its path again today.

I love the deep 80′s era synth lines and funky bass, backed by her hauntingly sexy vocals along with Andy Butler of New York disco group Hercules and Love Affair. The softer drum claps are a nice touch as well. It’s hauntingly retro and futuristic all at the same time. #untz/Tom
