Le Castle Vania sent us over a choice tune that he has been dropping in his sets recently. This one takes a familiar Smashing Pumpkins sample and gives it a kick in the ass. A nice follow up to the monster “Messiah” collaboration between he and Computer Club that we love so much. Looking forward to new material from his Always Never and So Sweet indie labels in the coming months.
The Canadian duo formerly known as VNDLSM are now going by the name of AutoErotique. With this change, comes some eagerly awaited new material. “Gladiator” should give you a good idea of what they are about. Looking forward to catching these guys on tour sometime soon. Give the tune a listen and let us know what you think.
The Chemical Brothers have churned out numerous top tunes over the years. “Star Guitar” is near the top of that list. Recently Japan’s Shinichi Osawa released his own interpretation of the track along with a slew of remixes from top talent such as Patrick Alavi, Streetlife DJs, Jaymo, and Cagedbaby. All of which bring new light to the original. Brookes Brothers and Japanese Popstars provide two standout re-works. The entire EP is solid. Make sure you pick it up here!

We are very excited about the notion that some new Basement Jaxx material is on its way later this year. They continue to evolve and take dance music to new and exotic places with each subsequent album. In the meantime, the Jaxx have recently released the “Planet 2″ EP on their Atlantix Jaxx label. This is a special pink vinyl only release that hit the shops on September 12th. The “Planet 1″ EP was released back in August on yellow vinyl. No word yet on a digital versions of each. Will keep you posted.
In celebration of the new EP we present you with one of our favorite remixes of 1999’s “Red Alert” by Steve Gurley. This one will bring you back to the glory days of the 2-Step movement in the UK. Good stuff.

Russia’s The Proxy blessed us with a dark tune that has been a staple for most every big name DJ in recent months. “Raven” is getting an official release (10/8/2008) on Tiga’s Turbo Recordings with remixes from Marseille and Polymorphic. In honor of this release, he stopped by Radio 1 to lay down a mix full of electro nuggets.
Here he is dropping “Raven” live:

This tune is an absolute monster! We spoke to Computer Club on Twitter and he gave us the go ahead to post. He and Le Castle Vania took Konflict’s drum&bass classic “Messiah” and transformed it into a proper electro-house stomper. Think Justice on steroids.

This Melbourne producer and DJ Miami Horror delivers a brilliant mix for Triple J Radio in Australia. Essential iPod material.
House pianos, epic synths, and Bmore breaks. All things that Spain’s Delorean love in music as well as essential pieces to their remix of Mystery Jets “Half In Love With Elizabeth.” Enjoy!
Starting to get some impressive work from a number of new artists in recent weeks. We promoted Mansion recently as they remixed fellow Canadian duo MSTRKRFT. These guys are getting a good amount of buzz in the electro-house blogosphere. Thus far, the work has been solid. Give their latest tune “Break Back” and leave some comments/feedback.
