[Free download] Modjo - Lady (Terace Rehash)

If you have plans painting the town red tonight this tune will definitely help you get into the spirit. Kiwi/Aussie house duo Terace has updated Modjo's 2000 classic Lady (Hear Me Tonight). It's still as catchy as the original, but with a bouncier beat and deeper bass. Best thing is that it's available for free download on thei Facebook page!

Tracasseur Guest Tape #7: Frederique

Wow, we're really pounding out these Guest tapes, aren't we? Since we, and especially me, really like the UK sound so much, what could be more logical than to ask a German with a French name to do the next one? Hannover DJ and producer Frederique has a very wide range of mostly British music styles ranging from (real) dubstep via bass to house music as evidenced in this little musical journey that he's kindly hammered together for us.

Before we get to the mix,  I think you should check out some freebies and upcoming releases:



And without further ado:

Louis La Roche - The Receiver EP

British nu disco/French house veteran Louis La Roche is out with a new ep on Mike Mago's BMKLTSCH label. Cool combo since Louis haven't really dived into the deep or UK house trends that Mago use to release on his label, and this ep is much more nu disco than usual BMKLTSCH releases. The original is a very energetic and catchy house banger, our Swedish broder Blende makes a nu disco funk version while The Young Punx makes a slightly more laidback house track that will blend in with your favourite tropical stuff.
 

Dan Lissvik about to release new EP

I always call Dan Lissvik a mastermind and he always proves me right calling him so. This time he got a new EP coming out February 9 on Smalltown Supersound in his own name. If the other track (and maybe the intro is awesome too) are as good as "Airwalk" we're all in for a treat. The EP will be out both digital and on vinyl, follow the SoundCloud link to get all links to pre-order your copy.

The Avener releases debut album

French deep house producer The Avener released his debut album "The Wanderings Of The Avener" in France a couple of days ago. Unfortunately rest of Europe has to wait until February 23 to be able to buy the album.

The Avener released "Fade Out Lines" last year and it was a tremendous tune. Early this year he released the first track from the album "Panama" and it was even better. So it was with great expectation that I waited for this release. After listening through the album there are a bunch of great ones. For you not living in France, you can still take a quick listen of all tracks here. Now it really sounds that we're from France and with our French-sounding name it's easy to think so, but you know that we're true Swedes, but we got our pre-listening connections.

Below we have gathered some of the tunes from the album that you all can listen to fully.

Ross Couch - Stronger EP

If you compare house music to another umpbrella genre like jazz music (which house obviously is pretty closely related to), you'll see that both genres have a lot of sub genres depending on stuff like where and when it's conceived, what other genres have been allowed to influence it, how commercial or how artistic pretentions you want to have, and so on.

Now, if you think about old-school jazz music of the sort Woody Allen likes to use in his movies, it would be basically the equivalence to the sort of classic soluful house music that Glasgow producer Ross Couch makes. Have a listen to his Stronger EP, out now on his own Body Rhythm label, and I think you'll understand what I'm talking about.
