finest hour

Today’s Untz: Finest Hour (Planas Remix) / Submotion Orchestra

This is one of my favorite tracks of all time. I was tempted to post something new especially with the onslaught of awesome music recently being released, but this is a bass heavy track that will sooth your soul.

Planas, of London, creates bass-driven music usually around dubstep tempo. He is also known as Landlord, Tarqwin Smythe, one half of Seemore Productions, and as bass player/producer for Gentleman’s Dub Club.

Submotion Orchestra is a live 7-piece project from Leeds, incorporating deep bass-driven grooves and dense textures in their progressive live dubstep sound. The centerpiece, Rachel Woods, is stunning as is her voice. Check them out. #untz/tom

Today’s Untz: Discuits / Poussez

Jafar & Maxime Cescau, aka London-based DJ/Producer duo Poussez bring us Friday’s track. Throw this one on early in your set or early in the AM because it’s a cosmic groover.

This song comes from the EP of the same name. It’s by no means new, but who cares. Take a listen, buckle up, and get ready for a smooth flight to the outer reaches of the disco cosmos. #untz/tom

Today’s Untz: Take Off (Bob Gravity Remix) / Axton Frick

Today I want to bring you a relatively unknown producer, at least in my musical world. 20 year old producer Bob Gravity could be my kid brother. The youth movement has been in full force in the last few years. I don’t know much about you Mr. Gravity, but your deep disco dance floor grooves are lifting me off the ground. Hit us up!

As for the track itself, the original is a slow groover while the remix is meant for a night out on the dancefloor. Enjoy folks. #untz/tom

14 May

Today’s Untz: With You Feat. Grovesnor / Flight Facilities

Flight Facilities have a brand new single called ‘With You’ featuring the Hot Chip drummer Grovesnor on vocals and it’s superb.

The Syndey duo has been all over the place since 2010’s single ‘Crave You’ which featured vocals from Giselle. They’ve also had tremendous success with fabulously done remixes from some of our favorites: Holy Ghost! and Cut Copy. And who can forget ‘Foreign Language feat. Jess’ in 2011. So needless to say, I’ve been eagerly anticipating this release which you can grab today!

There are a ton of really great supporting remixes too. Danny Daze does his thing per usual, but my favorite is the recently blogged about duo, MAM, which add an extra layer of oozing disco summertime boogie. The original and MAM remix will be on repeat for some time and I’m sure this track will soon be remixed by everyone and their mother because who could possibly  NOT touch this one. #untz/tom

Today’s Untz: El Barrio (Lamar & Jesse Oliver Remix)/ A.N.D.Y. & Vicente /// What’s Love Got To Do (Zimmer Remix) / Tina Turner

It’s May 11th and you know what that means?!?! Absolutely nothing, but it is a Friday and I have two tracks that were released today. We’re rolling with the freshy tropical vibe today.

First up we have a new A.N.D.Y. and Vicente tune that runs strong with the beach and is giving some Nu Disco flare by Jay Lamar & Jesse Oliver. Holy snyth bass batman. This one is just perfect for the dancefloor. I love the orginal tune, but this suits my Friday sunshine mood much more. The label, Discotexas (of Lisbon, Portugal) does it again. One of the best out there.

The second track is another remix that’s been blessed by the disco gods. A classic Tina Turner jam is given the horizontal disco treatment from Zimmer. If you don’t know this Parisian I suggest you visit his soundcloud page. TinaTURNUP!!! #untz/tom

Today’s Untz: Chateau (Country Club Remix)  / Housse De Racket

Today I want to highlight two up and coming DJ/producers from Australia. The two funky mates are Cassian and Shazam which make up Country Club. They tackle a Housse De Racket song and turn it into a house masterpiece ripe for the dancefloor. They’re on a mission my friends. In their owns words…

“Country Club has and always will be about raising awareness. The youth of today too often turn a blind eye to the practices of yesteryear. Chivalry is dead, Croquet participation is at an all time low, and collared shirts are virtually non-existent.

Country Club aims to bring to light these issues in society by speaking to the youth the only way they know how: dance music. As the fists pump and the pupils dilate they will unknowingly be absorbing an imperative message. The days following a Country Club “experience” will be full of introspection: “why am i so compelled to wear a glove on my left hand?”, “why am I so upset that the soup spoon is inside the tablespoon?”, “what does magnanimous mean?

The answer to all questions lies within, it is the power of house music, the mystery of the dance.”#untz/tom

Bonus Track: Fat Popa – Monkey Safari (Country Club Remix)

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: 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
