One of my favorite producers right now is Krystal Klear, who by the way is one of RBMA's newest inductees (Madrid, 2011). The mix is filled with modern/nu-boogie (Tensnake, Breakbot, SebastiAn, Tiger & Woods), classic boogie disco funk (Haywoode, Gary's Gang, Katie Kissoon) and electro-soul (Boom Clap Bachelors).

Oh yeah! He's coming to Seattle at Lo-Fi on August 23rd for the weekly party Stop Biting! Do not miss that!

I remember him playing this live last year at his show in Vancouver, BC - if you haven't experienced a live set from him yet, you must!

I do have a penchant for 90s/00s R&B samples, and here are two Janet Jackson sampled tunes. Wax Motif & Neoteric used "Go Deep" for a fun bouncy version, and Prince Club slow downed Janet's vocal from "Someone To Call My Lover" for "Love Jackson".

We featured Freddie Joachim's remix of Toro Y Moi a bit back. He is back with another great remix from the fantastic Erykah Badu. Freddie puts a great spin on Badu's standout track "Telephone" from her 2008 album, New Amerykah Part One (4th World War). Another great remix by Mr. Joachim.

Out today on Beatport, is Kingdom's newest release on Fool's Gold Records, "Take Me" featuring Naomi Allen of Electrik Red. I've always liked Kingdom's fascination with R&B, plus he collaborated with an Electrik Red member? How perfect! I've wished for this collab (check the tweets!)! As you know, Electrik Red is The-Dream's answer to Prince's Vanity 6. I hope they continue to work together...future R&B!

For one week only, Hype Machine will stream AZARI & III's full album ahead of the release on August 7th. You may be familiar with their classic house influenced track, "Reckless With Your Love", which was unofficially released 2 years ago.

Check out a whole host of fantastic remixes. The first is a remix of Penguin Prison's (pictured) "Fair Warning." He has been on our radar ever since is standout single "The Worse it Gets." Do not miss his original tracks or remixes. The second is another great remix from a man that seems to do no wrong...Star Slinger. The third is from one of our favorite bands on the planet, Junior Boys. Nice take on their first single "Banana Ripple" off their new album , Its All True.

The perfect way to cap a music for your weekend post is with a party starter from Chromeo remixed by the great Breakbot. The remix is in support of the latest single release of Chromeo's "When the Night Falls" of their standout third album Business Casual. Have a great weekend everyone. Go Bears!

No idea what The Internets is all about but their first upload "Witchdoctor" is awesome. I recommend you check it out.
Witchdoctor by The Internets

Macklemore and producer Ryan Lewis pulled the sheet off the video for their new single "Wings" over at XXL. For a track about Air Jordans, it's some mighty powerful stuff. Macklemore is a massive up and coming talent that has always shown a lot of pride for his (and my) hometown of Seattle, and in turn we have a lot of pride in him. Definitely don't miss this video. Oh, and one cool thing to mention: the video was a Kickstarter project.

Stupidly busy week for me already (ahhh it's only Tuesday!), but I thought I'd post up a medley of new music from some of the artists I'm jamming out to at the moment.

First up, we've got the glorious Magic Tape Thirteen from The Magician. As he says, there's no tracklisting because a magician never reveals his tricks, but there's a whole bag full of unicorn dust sprinkled over this mix.Incredible as always.

  Magic Tape Thirteen by TheMagician

Next is a remix from one of my favorite super hero themed acts right now, The Phantom's Revenge. This time he's setting his phasers to house music. A great remix of LBCK's "Instant Party".

  HOPPY SUMMER MIXTAPE by JRMX (DJ) by JRMX (DJ)

Finally, here's a brand new mix from a producer/DJ we featured last week here on Analog Giant, JRMX. Great new disco style mix, and the title makes me think of beer, so bonus points for that.

  LBCK - Instant Party (The Phantom's Revenge Remix) by The Phantom's Revenge

Vancouver's First Date, brings you a mix filled with Bass, Garage, UK Funky, Deep, House tunes. You will recognize tracks from Jacques Greene, Kingdom, Julio Bashmore, and Voltron.

Bring Back the Feeling: A mix that was designed to stir up the feelings you once had, only with a new sound. Something to sit back with, and reflect. A voyage through warm synths, deep bass and methodical percussion. This is a blend of some of our favorite tracks; tracks that get better and better after every listen.

Bring Back the Feeling by First Date

Fantastic remix of Jay Z's track "Clothes" by Chicago's Starfoxxx. Check it out.
Jay Z - Change Clothes (Starfoxxx moombahton remix) by starfoxxxchicago

The Cool Kids are coming to Reggie's Rock Club on August 5th. The new album is called When Fish Ride Bicycles. You can stream the entire album here.

More remixes of one of the greatest bands on the planet. Check out these remixes by Nathan Fake, Harmonic 313 and Mark Pritchard. Excellent!

Oh the weekend is here all right! Here's hoping yours is full of awesome summer plans. There won't be any danger of sunburn here in Seattle this weekend, but hey, that's the Emerald City city for you--even in mid July. We've got a nice little selection for this Music for your Weekend post, but I'm kicking it off with a fantastic summer mix from the glorious Geisha Twins.
  SoundLogik.Com [Exclusive Mixtape] by Geisha Twins
Next up is a Vostok-1 remix of Mexican producer Levantine's "Girls Funk". Despite the fact that Vostok-1 is a Spanish producer, the original Vostok 1 spacecraft carried Yuri Gagarin in the very first manned space flight. Hey, look, with all this space shuttle stuff in the news, I couldn't resist...
  Levantine - Girls Funk (Vostok-1 Remix) by Vostok-1
Rounding out today's set is an interesting sound out of Milan--it's Gabriell's remix of Magellano's "OkOk". So there's something fantastic and completely different for you.
  Magellano - OkOk (Gabriell Remix) by Gabriell

One of my all time favorite songs, is Cherrelle ft. Alexander O'Neal - "Saturday Love" (I mean, I even named my soul/disco/boogie blog that!). It came out in 1985, and was produced by one of my favorite production duos: Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.

When I saw that Toro Y Moi's new song was called "Saturday Love", it didn't cross my mind that he would actually cover the original, just thought it had the same song title, so I was surprised to hear him take that 80s R&B hit to fit his chillwave synthy style.

Toro Y Moi -- Saturday Love

Check it the fantastic animated video for the instrumental track “Tao Te Ching” from Apollo Brown’s album Clouds. Video is directed by Emrys Roberts.

Love it? Maybe you should download it here. Or even better buy it!

Here's a new one from Analog Giant favorites Bit Funk and Justin Faust. This time around, it's Bit Funk doing the summery remix honors for Justin Faust's Girl Talk. Glitzy, glossy, a little bit clubby... Sounds just about right for the weather!

  Justin Faust - Girl Talk (Bit Funk Remix) by Bit Funk

Out tomorrow on Beatport.

Switching gears this morning, here's a synthy new disco DJ mix from Javier "Jarris" Macias, aka JRMX. He hit us up over on Twitter a while back with this new mix, and I came away impressed. I especially like this Heatseeker mix--it's the perfect pace to help you blast through that stack of work you've been procrastinating about. I'm looking forward to hearing more from JRMX throughout the year.

Nobody does slow-cookin' crock pot disco quite like Matthew Kyle. The man has an inhumanely funky patience for his grooves...but man, do they ever pay off. We haven't checked in with MK since our interview last december, so I thought I'd post up some tracks and give you a feel for what he's been up to. Perfect summer music if you ask me.

Quick lunch time post. Great track from Hercules and Love Affair with their remix of "When The Night Falls" featuring Solange Knowles. Check it out.

Great new remix of London's track "Why Even Try" by the Remix Artist Collective aka RAC. London also posted up his track "Last Name London" which is equally great. Check'em out.

Shaping up to be a great weekend here in Chicago. Hope it is going well wherever you might be. We have some new and old tracks for you to check out. The first is from DFA Records artist, Radio Yacht. Their track just drips with a perfect summer sound. I recommend you check it out if you have not already. Great intro on this track and a killer building bass line. I love it.
Utopia by RADIO YACHT
The next track is a remix of the Talking Heads' classic "Pycho Killer" by Belgian based Eddie Adams. Really nice flip on this wonderful track.
Talking Heads - Psycho Killer (Eddie Adams Re-Edit) by Eddie Adams
The final track we leave you with is from the upcoming self-titled album by Azari and III due out on August 2nd on Modular Records. Another really enjoyable track that is perfect for summer. Check it out.
Azari & III - Manic by modularpeople
Have a great weekend everyone. Be safe. Peace!

German producer, Tensnake remixes Little Dragon's new song, "Ritual Union" from their latest EP. Can't get enough of Yukumi's voice over Tensnake's slowed down adaptation, especially when the added percussion is introduced at the 55 sec mark/chorus drops.

Original can be listened to here:
Ritual Union by Little Dragon

Since I Left You is possibly my favorite album ever record. The record came out nearly 10 years ago and the group has yet to release a follow up (rumors abound on the internet on when and if). Perhaps its impossible to replicate the magnificence of the first and its best just to leave it on its own. While no new material is surfacing Modular is set to release a deluxe 10-Year Anniversary with some rare remixes. Check out this one by Stereolab.
The Avalanches - Since I Left You (Stereolab Remix) by modularpeople

California based beatmaker and remixer Freddie Joachim has a great sound that blends elements of electronic with jazz and hip hop. His track "Waves" is an excellent example of his smooth sound.
Freddie Joachim - Waves by freddiejoachim
He also has a great remix of Toro Y Moi's track "Freak Love" that should be listened to. Check out a bunch of his music at his soundcloud space.

Coming right off of a very relaxing, very summery Independence Day weekend here in Seattle, and there's plenty of new music to go around. First up, there's this Plastic Plates remix of Mark Ronson's "Record Collection", one of the truly standout tracks from his most recent album. I think remix is utterly jaw dropping...easily one of my favorites so far this year. Next up is a track from Monarchy for you to check out, right from their forthcoming album. Finally, there's this disgustingly good summer house track from Alec Carlsson--the guy featured in today's picture, if you were wondering. This track is now up for free download. Seriously...that bassline!

Look, it's not every day that we post up a Britney Spears remix, but this official remix of Britney's new track "I Wanna Go" from Oliver is very solid. Something tells me this one might get some club play over this summer...

  Britney Spears - I Wanna Go (Oliver Remix) (Official) by weareoliver

Check out these remixes from Caribou (peep them harp strings!) and Jacques Greene of songs from Radiohead's latest album, The King of Limbs.

Errr...perhaps two posts in one week is a bit excessive but we couldn't pass up the chance to feature these two awesome remixes. Check out these latest gems from Fare Soldi. My personal favorite? Egokid's "Golden Egg" such a great summer track. Check it out you will not be disappointed.
Egokid - Golden Egg (Fare Soldi "Buona Domenica" rmx) by FARE SOLDI
The second remix they have is of Julie's Haircut and the track title is simply amazing. Maybe its because I am married to a vegan and know how often people get the two mixed up. So good! Check out their remix of "Satan eats Seiten."
