Picture Book released their first commercial EP ‘At Last’ in January 2012. The four track EP was co-written and recorded with Grammy nominated vocalist Greta Svabo Bech, who featured on Deadmau5′s ‘Raise Your Weapon’.
After I’ve remixed their latest track “Diamonda” (can be found here) the finnish producer team took on “High Hopes”, a track from the Girl Talk EP. And the result is stunning! Free download:
Out now on Discotexas.
Already supported by Treasure Fingers, Punks Jump Up, Drop Out Orchestra, Mighty Mouse, Edwin van Cleef, Tronik Youth, Moullinex, Lou Teti, Cosmonauts, Zimmer, ATTAR!, Shindu, Severino, Douze, Philosophy Of Sound, Coupons, Irregular Disco Workers.
2011 is almost over and so I decided to take a look back and find the best tracks I’ve come across during this exciting year. Some of those might even be a little older, so please forgive me (sometimes I need a little longer to find good tracks haha). Let’s go!
Kamp! – Cairo (Moullinex Remix)
Starting off with my labelmate and friend Moullinex, this remix he crafted for polish band Kamp! is just excellent. I’ve been playing this on tour every night and every night it killed.
Senior Stereo – Unintentional feat. Danny Daze (U-Tern Remix)
U-Tern had another great year and this remix of his is rather unknown, which is a damn shame.
Justin Faust – Girl Talk (Gloves Remix)
My EP “Girl Talk” came out this year with some very strong remixes, this one by australian Gloves is a real gem:
Blawan – Getting Me Down
Brandy’s vocals and this amazing beat .. too good to be true. We will hear a lot of amazing things from Blawan in 2012, pretty sure.
Russ Chimes – Tonic
Russ, Russ, Russ. Nuff said. Oh, and prepare for 2012, you will hear something very cool from the both of us, just wait …
Bit Funk – Rap Music
I’ve been playing this track for a while before it was released to the public and almost everytime people were coming up to me, asking what this was. Quality!
Arty & Mat Zo-Rebound
Oh man, is Trance coming back big time?? I guess so.
JNL – Beausejour
Also a little older, this is rather unknown track but I loved it to bits in 2011.
Siriusmo – Feromonikon
No Top 10 without Siriusmo, I guess?
Breakbot – Fantasy (Feat. Ruckazoid)
Breakbot is still one of the most amazing guys out there, mainly because he’s a very musical producer. Combining pop and dance and funk, he’s the modern day Quincy Jones.
Honourable Mentions:
Alec Carlsson – Paris Fried Chicken (J Paul Getto Remix)
Already a very strong original, this remix just kills it.
Pwndtiac – Angus Beef
Pwndtiac from Leipzig, Germany just released their debut EP on Work It Baby, this track is my favorite!
It’s been a couple of months since “Girl Talk” hit the shelves and charts receiving great response from both audience and Djs. Now, German newcomer Pwndtiac crafted a slamming remix to keep you dancing until Christmas! And I give it to you for free, because I’m so nice, right?
so I’m back from the US tour and it was incredible. Big shout out to everyone I met and to everyone who came out to see me. Along the way I developed a love affair with the american cuisine, especially something called Texas BBQ Brisket (Thanks Austin!), so I decided to compile a new mixtape in honour of the fabulous meat orgy. Enjoy! Oh and behold, I’ll probably be back in the US by 2012, this time with some special guests …
From Aug 26th til Sept 11th I will be on US tour .. here are the final dates and venues:
Aug 26, Los Angeles (Echoplex)
Aug 27, Los Angeles (Standard Hollywood)
Sept 1, St Louis (2720 Cherokee)
Sept 2, Las Vegas (The Luxor)
Sept 3, San Diego (El Dorado Lounge)
Sept 6, Houston (Antique Bar)
