Sealing September feat. Lovebirds + Maceo Plex + Tigerskin + Marco Dassi + more

Ahhhhhh....... so many tunes that need a shout out ! I'm going to start off with slow-mo, moving onto nu-disco, followed by some mid tempo deep / tech house, concluding with some peaktime floor bangers. Check it:

1. Soho808 - Get Up Disco[Dikso]
Disco has come back in a big way, and that's exactly what Nathaniel Jay and Dave Robertson have been cooking in their studio in Soho, New York. Full of soul and a lovely voice throughout the track, with a simple bassline, just proves that you don't need too many layers in a track to make it sound good. Part of the Super Sound Single Volume 4 compilation.
Release Date: 2011-09-02 | Set Fit: Warmup | Time of the Day: Morning, Early Afternoon, Late Afternoon

2. Lovebirds - Running Backwards[Teardrop Music]
Sebastian Doring has been on my radar for quite sometime now, having heard 'Love and Happiness', 'Rain' and the classiest deep house tune I've heard till date 'Want You In My Soul', which was featured in the last post. Soulful mids, a punchy old-school bassline and splendid guitars on the breakdown, this tune is the epitome of balearic electronica. Part of the Honeybadger EP, which also features 'Chasing Things' and 'Give A Shit'.
Release Date: 2011-08-19 | Set Fit: Warmup | Time of the Day: Morning, Early Afternoon, Late Afternoon


3. Thyladomid & Adriatique - Deep In The Three[2DIY4]
Thyladomid & Adriatique is a production partnership between Charles Thiemann, Adrian Schweizer and Adrian Shala. After 'The Voice', this is defo Thyladomid's next big drop. Leslie Feist's soothing vocals over a tribal'ish percussion layer, a trademark Thyladomid bassline and lots of happiness. Chill is the name of the game. Part of the Various Artists EP.

Release Date: 2011-08-08 | Set Fit: Warmup, Getting There | Time of the Day: Early Afternoon, Late Afternoon, Early Evening


4. Alex Q - Jule[Musik Gewinnt Freunde]
Another vibe of a tune is on our hands, this time German producer Alex Q at the helm. Nothing sounds sexier than casual keys, a violin, claps and a trumpet coming together to form a beautiful groove. Mood setter this, part of the Jule EP, which also features 'Karma' and 'Shine'.

Release Date: 2011-07-25 | Set Fit: Warmup, Getting There | Time of the Day: Morning, Early Afternoon, Late Afternoon

5. Tigerskin - Chuckle[Dirt Crew]
Alex Kruger drops a yummy tune on his new EP, that reminds you of the good times. This German bloke is so talented, the versatility in his productions can be clearly seen if you compare his old tunes like 'Peter's Secret Weapon' to his current sound. Defo one of my top 5 favourite producers. This tune is just so nice to listen, leave aside dance. Part of the Torn EP, which also features 6 other tunes.

Release Date: 2011-08-29 | Set Fit: Getting There | Time of the Day: Early Afternoon, Late Afternoon, Late Evening

6. Maceo Plex - Stop You Hate[Crosstown Rebels]
Eric Estornel is on a friggin' roll. His productions under the Maetrik moniker, an uptempo bass heavy sound that's distorted and sounds like alien spaceship's engine(or atleast that's what he wants us to believe from his biography), are doing the rounds with some of the top names in the industry. But recently, he's been focused on delivering as Maceo Plex, a funked out disco feel of Eric's sound. Oh it's so fu*king good ! If you've heard 'Your Style' and liked it, get a load of this ! Old school beats in a futuristic creepy package, gooooooood stuff ! Part of the Sweating Tears EP, which also features 'Can't Leave You'.
Release Date: 2011-09-19 | Set Fit: Warmup, Getting There | Time of the Day: Late Afternoon, Early Evening, Late Evening, Night

7. Marco Dassi - Bienvenue Dans Ma Vie[VOICELESS]
Some tracks don't have any special samples or much focus on layers, but just by playing with filters, one can create such beautiful melody. That is exactly what Marco delivers in this tune. Missed out on this when it came out. This tune crawls on you and infects you like a virus and every time you hear it, you realize new patterns that you hadn't heard earlier. Part of the VO. 1 compilation, that also features 'Eat The Disco' and 'Localize'
Release Date: 2011-06-15 | Set Fit: Getting There | Time of the Day: Early Evening, Late Evening

8. Stel - Bite Down(Satoshi Fumi Remix)[Moodmusic]
So lately I've been digging Satoshi Fumi's sets quite a bit and he drops this one consistently. No reason he shouldn't, he's turned the chillout mind-oriented original into a funky dancefloor groover, everyone should hear it atleast once. Part of the Bite Down EP.





Release Date: 2011-08-31 | Set Fit: Getting There, Peaktime, Finish | Time of the Day: Late Evening, Night
Stelios Vassiloudis - Bite Down (Satoshi Fumi Remix) by sasse

9. Diego - Hope(Secret Cinema & Roger Martinez Remix)[Gem]
You can really expect a banger of a track if Secret Cinema and Roger Martinez do a collab, and that's exactly what's happened. Secret Cinema's water-soaked-dub stabs with Roger's deep mids and tight groove over groove layers is what this is. Absolute dance floor mayhem is inevitable. Part of the Hope EP.




Release Date: 2011-08-22 | Set Fit: Peaktime, Finish | Time of the Day: Night


10. Butane & Someone Else - Dink Touching(Agaric's Sterni Edit)
Closing off September selections with a techno banger. Everyone remembers Agaric from 'Who Made Up The Rules', which I didn't really like that much. But this tune has hints of tribal elements and overall it's such a  dance floor cracker, Groin-to-speaker connection this. Part of the Dink Touching EP.
