Alan Wilkis

Meet Alan Wilkis, a Brooklyn producer who just released his latest album "Pink and Purple". The comparisons for this CD have left me unimpressed; I mean anyone can compare anyone to
Kraftwerk but the truth is that this is album has Electro Funk written all over it, with the clever use of voice modulators and late 70's early 80's disco funk beats, "Pink and Purple" allows Electronc sounds to sit comfortably with the funk and sexiness that only Disco can bring.

Sidechains remix

Hello from sunny Miami, I have not been able to blog because I forgot my computer, but I do have some new stuff that have called my attention, please accept my apologies as this post does not contain hyperlinks, I'll try to fix them once I get home.

I received a message from Sidechains in which they offered two remixes and their latest mix, today I'm just going to include one remix, because the other one wasn't up to part and also because blogging from your iPhone is not the most desirable way to blog.

Frederick Carlsson

Nikator Promotions sent over some dope remixes and a Mix by Frederick Carlson , they say is to celebrate Sweden national day, I say is there really any need for a remix to happen. The first remix is by swedish singer Jonathan Johansson and this is probably my favorite song even though I cant understand it. The next remix is by another sweedish band called They Live by Night I like this remix, but I'm not crazy about the words, it almost feels like the are going to start doing some cheesy dance.

Esser - I Love You (Prince Paul Remix)

***Bonus***

So, for a bonus I was going to post the Mix by Esser they sent me, but I don't feel like uploading a big file, instead I wanted to share a song which they'll probably make me take down because I don't have the consent to release it, but is soooooooo good I can't help but share it. I really don't know the name of the track but is number 3 on this amazing Disco master piece; I'm talking about Vega's latest Ep. "Well Known Pleasures", I really hope the Hype Machine doesn't post it, so that you (my readers) who have not been able to buy the EP. on their show can enjoy this amazing track.
