Shadow Child | 23 (ft. Tymer)

In lieu of Skream and Disclosure ‘s back to back Boiler Room fuckery that took place live from the presidential suite of the W Hotel in London this evening, we bring you this feast of a house tune. Skream flatteringly rinsed “23″ only two days after it’s impactful release to the public. This is the title track off Shadow Child ‘s 4 track EP of similarly cultured “peak time” house”, and will be the first release for his new label, Food Music . With a co-founder like Kry Wolf and early support from the likes of Eats Everything , and Mistajam , one should expect  big things from this newly formed entity.

Hopefully like us, you enjoy this tune infinitely more than the sluggish crowd seemed to, who were lucky enough to be in attendance in that pillow feather ridden hotel room.

Split Secs | Slave [Vocal Preview]

Los Angeles based group, Split Secs , are floating under the radar despite the fact that they produce music of very high quality. The one-minute clip of their recent work is a cover of Camacho’s Project’s 1990′s house gem, titled Slave. Split Sec’s rendition is currently sitting at a mere 16 plays on Soundcloud, and this to me is baffling. With a deep groove thumping underneath a sensual vocal line, Slave is surely deserved of more ears.

Disclosure | Latch ft. Sam Smith

[Guy and Howard Lawrence, a.k.a. Disclosure]

This afternoon, prolific UK bass duo, Disclosure , treated followers by uploading a brand-new track on their soundcloud account . Latch is one of those songs that demands jurisdiction over your limbs, cueing your arms and legs to jerk in time. With the addition of newcomer Sam Smith ‘s sensual vocals, the club-driven, ‘tailored-for-the-dance floor’ composition is ideal for listener’s Friday night festivities.

Rumour has it that a full length LP is in the works, expected to release next year.

Eats Everything x Switch | I Still Love Tric Trac

[Eats Everything]

Bristolian, Daniel Pearce, (aka Eats Everything ,) bestowed a delightful gift upon his followers via his Soundcloud this past Thursday, June the 21st. I Still Love Tric Trac is Eat’s Everything’s rendition of Switch’s original, titled, I Still Love You , released through UK-based Dubsided , on September 30th of 2011. Switch is a classic UK house producer, and not to mention, XLR8R’s 2007 artist of the year . Eats Everything draws elements from Jungle and Early Rave music, combines them, then uses this figurative nail-polish overtop of  Switch’s solid original, producing an illustrious manicure.

Andrea Martin wailing “I still love you,” is absolutely evocative.

Tourist | Placid Acid

William Phillips is a Brighton based producer who just recently began to release original work under the signature Tourist. Although this pseudonym only has a few months usage, Philips is no stranger to producing; having developed a desirable collection of remixes under the name Little Loud.  It is also noteworthy that despite today’s disappointing culture of calling a simple addition of bass and snare a remix, Philips maintains the applaudable talent of cultivating original songs into new works of art. It also doesn’t hurt that all his remixes were done at the request of their respective record labels.

At the start of the year Phillips treated his fans with the Tourist sample track Placid Acid; a fluid mix of euphoric tones and articulated beats that gave his listeners a taste of his new work.   In March he graced us all with the rest of his self-titled EP.  The 4-track collection creates a lucid ambience of oscillating synths, psychedelic phasers, and fluttering rhythms.  Check it all out online, and keep ear on this guy.
