Dance So Free

Hello everyone, I, JuliAn, have taken a serious hiatus from house music but I'm back in a big way.

Who doesnt like daft punk? Nicky Romero has had a huge year. His remix of Green Velvet's "Prepare to Flash" was one the biggest electro songs of 2011. Here he bootlegs a classic by the one and only Daft Punk. The Canadian dynamo does a fabulous job of keeping the feel of the original but adding his own twist making this an incredible bootleg.

French Government has rocked some of the biggest dancefloors. The tracks made by Grégoire & Mickael are supported and played by the greatest international DJ’s (Laidback Luke, Antoine Clamaran, Fuzzy Hair, Amo & Navas, Arno Cost, Andy Moor, Norman Doray, Nino Anthony, Tristan Garner, The Good Guys, Markus Schultz, Da Fresh, Abigail Bailey, DJ Fist, Michael Kaiser, Kama, Flash Brothers...) The only word that can be used to describe this track is funkalicious.

Wolfgang Gartner is already one of EDM's top producers. He continues to strengthen his legacy with his latest original production, Menage A Trois. Prepare to stand up and dance.

Upon combing one of the many blogs I follow, I found this gem. Emilio Fernandez's remix of Till We See The Sun is one of the best house tracks I have heard in one of the best years for the genre.

Larger than life Japanese superstar, Shinichi Osawa, is back. The man produces a techno classic in his latest venture and I would expect to hear it on many of your favorite DJ's track lists.

Shotgun To My Head

  Since I've been done with my exams, I have been very lazy with posting but that's about to change.  My counterpart, the one and only JuliAn, has left for the beautiful country of Jamaica and will be returning with numerous vinyl's from a record shop (he best if he knows whats good for him).  I'm as excited as you.  Anyways, here we are with some terrific new music.

Let's start with an Ellie Goulding and Daft Punk mashup, need I say more?

I heard this track on a broadcast of Pete Tong's radio show and instantly loved it, the british vocals evolving into heavy bass synths works very well here.

Here's an older track from Sharam who has cemented his name as one of the top Dj's in the world.

Chris Moody, the man behind the remix of Justice's 'We Are Your Friends', tries his hand at remixing some famed 70's disco.

Dillon Francis did a great job when he tried his hand at remixing Chris Brown's hit 'Look at Me Now', but AC Slater outdoes him in his own take on it.

This next track is fairly old but I just recently discovered it. I'll let it speak for itself as it closes out this post in style.

Dafting

In the early 90's, Frenchmen Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter only started playing with synths and drum machines after their rock band failed miserably. Some may call it the most beneficial failure of all time. Upon discovering the new amazing possibilities and sounds that can be born from the art of the electronic dance music genre, the two formed Daft Punk. I would go as far as to say that there is not on successful electronic artist which wouldn't admit to being heavily influenced by the combo. I have sampled only a few of their biggest hits in this post because I highly recommend that, for the full experience, you purchase their work. Each song by them appears to be an electronic masterpiece. I am the proud owner of not only their three studio albums Homework, Human After All, and Discovery, but also their Alive 2007 CD. Without further ado, here are some tracks from the greatest electronic artists of our time, Daft Punk:

Daft Punk- Aerodynamic

Daft Punk- One More Time

Daft Punk- Harder Better Faster Stronger

Daft Punk- Something About Us

Daft Punk- Around The World

Daft Punk-Da Funk

Daft Punk- Technologic

Daft Punk- One More Time (Laidback Luke Remix)
