Today’s Untz: Dream and Machines / Cinnamon Chasers
Cinnamon Chasers releases a new album “Dreams & Machines” on November 13th, which is as diverse and varied as you would expect from such a prolific producer, featuring a myriad of dreamwave soundscapes, hyper-spaced beats, funky analogue basslines, cut-up vocodas and energized melodies. #untz/tom
Travelin
5 Nov
We’re headed to Southeast Asia for hot a minute. I’ll be taking everything in while I’m there, but alas, I will also be listening to music. Hopefully I’ll have a chance to occasionally share some tunes. Here are a few I’ve enjoyed lately… Hasta Luego #untz/tom
Holy Ghost! – It Gets Dark
Amtrac – Those Days (Viceroy Remix)
Goldroom – Fifteen (Final DJS When We Were Young Remix)
hold me close
2 Nov
Today’s Untz: Hold Me Close / NSFW
NSFW’s track is a melodic groover. It takes it’s time to slowly suck you in with sultry vocals and rounded synths. Just an all around beautiful track. Enjoy! #untz/tom
back seat
29 Oct
Today’s Untz: Back Seat (Goldroom Remix) / Atlas Genius
Goldroom released a free track today! Out here in SF it’s a comfortably warm 70 degrees and this song has me in high spirits after a terribly slow Monday.
In all serious though I’m thinking a lot about my family and friends on the East Coast. I know they’re getting slammed so I’m sending positive vibes through positive tunes. Go away Sandy! #untz/tom
open your heart
26 Oct
Today’s Untz: Open Your Heart + Ruby / Tarmo, Lexa vs. Axwell
Happy Friday folks! Enjoy this uplifting tune. I found it randomly on Lexa’s soundcloud. He’s a Finish producer that mostly focuses on Nu Disco, Deep House, and Disco House. Enjoy! #untz/tom
modern love
24 Oct
Today’s Untz: Modern Love (Barretso Remix) / Kristine
Here’s some self described summer breakbeat from Barretso who hails from Chile. He’s been hard at work on his first album. He recently posted this track. It transforms the original which has that that poppy LA dreamwave sound.
“This modern love breaks me
This modern love wastes me”
He takes it to another dimension. The futuristic drums in addition to being surrounded by some engulfing wavy synths certainly capture my immediate attention. #untz/tom
sunset
22 Oct
Today’s Untz: Sunset feat. Marques Toliver/ Compuphonic
“We are the music that we create” and this has never been more true than with “Sunset”, Compuphonic, alias Maxime Firket’s new maxi single on the prestigious Berlin ‘Get Physical’ label in anticipation of his debut album in 2013. For the occasion Maxime got together with American soul singer/violinist Marques Toliver (Bella Union, Bat For Lashes, Grizzly Bear, Holly Miranda, Mechanical Bride), to create a piece of hedonistic house that is entirely characteristic of his style. Spontaneous, positive, natural, open to large spaces, ambitious but always accessible. “All these elements are the common denominator of my music”, explains Maxime, “In my productions, I naturally search for originality, but also simplicity, efficiency, emotion and some sort of positive melancholy.” #untz/tom
work the beat
19 Oct
Today’s Untz: Work That Beat / PH Groove
I’m still stuck at work so ‘Work That Beat’ seems like an appropriately titled track. The good news is that it’s Friday, I just put in my two weeks, and I’m gearing up for a run at Southeast Asia.
In his own words: “Electro Funk, Space Disco, Hi-Nrg/Italo is what influences the PH Groove sound. After years of steady djing in the local scene in Calgary I got my first sampler, Juno 106 and Korg i4 and started producing House music in 96 under my real name Peter Hecher. With a lot of interest, fun and a driving passion I soon got my first record deal on one of my favorite labels Aquarius/Stickman Records.
During the years I’ve had the privilege of being charted and reviewed by some of the top dj’s and producers in Mixmag, Muzik Mag, XLR8 and various dance magazines. As a dj i have opened for Richie Hawtin, Roy Davis Jr., Paul Johnson, John Howard, Inland Knights, John Selway, Tyler Stadius, Johnny Fiasco, FM Attack. I also run 2 labels, Tonite Records and Lunar Boogie.” #untz/tom
lipstick & lace
17 Oct
Today’s Untz: Lipstick & Lace / Benoit & Sergio
“”Lipstick & Lace” leads off the New Ships EP by following a similar formula for Benoit & Sergio, laying woozy vocals atop protruding basslines to hypnotic ends. The track opens with what sounds like a gargantuan rubber band, as it strings out the loop that will underpin the six-minute song. Sergio’s vocals enter, as he sings to a partner on the dance floor about making moves, lipstick and lace. His voice, the song and its disco-inspired adornments are all tailored equally — and perfectly — to clubs and cars.” – npr #untz/tom
