The Phone Calls: "Old Friend"

Mon, 06/03/2013 - 8:57pm — aotpr

Here's another side of The Phone Calls, whose album by the same name just dropped a few days ago. This is a deep, smooth track, a lot more like the next album, which we'll have some of the demos from soon. It's from The Phone Calls Soundcloud. You can find the album at iTunes and Amazon of course.

Jon Bach "Above It All"

Tue, 05/28/2013 - 11:01pm — aotpr

This is a breezy progressive groove from Nueva Digital, more good summer music, and it just showed up at Soundcloud. It's from the Above It All EP, due June 11th, but there's two other tracks at the Nueva Digital Soundcloud.

Dance Crash Tears It Up

Chicago Dance Crash's The Cotton Mouth Club opened this weekend, and it's not like any other show you're going to see this year. The choreography by Jessica Deahr and Robert McKee is an eye-beguiling demonstration of how to pack a stage with great dance. Here's Dance Crash's video from their Vimeo channel:

Zander Hardy Feat. Priceless "Prison"

Sun, 05/19/2013 - 8:32pm — aotpr

This is out May 27th on Copyright, it's a smooth, cool House track that sounds good the first time and then even better every time you hear it.

Kings of Tomorrow feat April "Fall for You"

Thu, 05/16/2013 - 1:48pm — aotpr

House Music, the real kind, with one of the smoothest background chorus hooks anybody ever found. Of course Sandy Rivera would find it. This is everywhere, you can buy it (like we did) at Traxsource, Juno, Beatport and iTunes US.

Ronski Speed & Syntrobic feat. Renee Stahl "Pink Skye"

Tue, 05/14/2013 - 6:19pm — aotpr

Here's a beauty -- it's called "Pink Skye" and the vocal by Renee Stahl is just perfect. Lots of good things to buy here: "Pink Skye" is at Juno (on Anjunabeats Volume 10); for something very different from this, and also excellent, check out Renee Stahl's albums at ReneeStahl.com, and Syntrobic's artist album, Syntrobic.

Gustavo FK "Falling In Her Eyes"

Sat, 05/11/2013 - 5:27pm — aotpr

Gustavo FK is a Brazilian DJ/Producer who lives in Barcelona. Beatport and his Soundcloud call this track Deep House, but it has the colorful creative colors of a lot of the music that comes from the rich and varied worlds of Brazil. It's at Beatport.

Just heard for the first time of a really creative independent artist named Laurence Lloyd Duff, who put this visually bold video together to his song Iris. As cool as the video is, don't miss the imaginative writing and production in the track:
