Sub Focus

Hohme — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 04:00:00 +0000

Nick Douwma, better known as Sub Focus, has been producing drum & bass in London since 2003. It wasn’t until a year ago that he released his self-titled, full-length debut album. I mean, I know this came out over 9 months, ago, but damnit is it good. His production is suuuper progressive, with hints of house/trance/dubstep all while maintaining an overall drum & bass feel….real high-energy stuff. What I’m even more excited about than his music is the fact that I have the opportunity to perform with him at the London Electronic Dance Festival in August. I qualified for the JUNO download contest on Lets Mix with my tightened-up/remastered version of last summer’s mix, When Passion Meets Intention, and if I win, I’ll be spinning literally right after Sub Focus. SO, PPLLLLEASE, HEAD OVER TO THIS LINK, LISTEN TO AT LEAST A MINUTE OF THE MIX, AND VOTE 5 STARS! It’ll push me that much closer to performing with this guy along with other huuge names, like David Guetta, Calvin Harris, Aphex Twin, The Bloody Beetroots, Afrojack, and much more…wow, just thinking about that makes my heart beat speed up. AHHHHH! The two tracks I chose were blank and Could This Be Real, which I featured in my most recent mix, and Found. Check out some more tracks on his Myspace and if you like drum & bass, get his album now; you won’t be disappointed. As for you, Mr. Douwma, I’ll be seeing you in London.

Kamp!

Hohme — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 04:00:07 +0000

Kamp!, out of Poland, are a fresh new electro pop group that’s sure to make their presence known in the scene. I like these two singles a lot, and not only because I’m an avid supporter of making words plural for no reason. I don’t know a ton about them yet, but if their most recent work is any indication of where they’re going, I’m sure they’ll be popping up more and more often as time goes on. Check out their Facebook page as well as their Myspace for some additional tracks and remixes.

Audio Oddity

Hohme — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 01:00:00 +0000

Matthew Michael, also known as Audio Oddity’s been playing music in Southern Oregon for years now and he’s just starting to put some of his produced/sound engineered work out. Well, I’ll tell you what, he really stepped his game up for Amp Live’s Turn It Up remix contest. He’s due to release his first full-length EP entitled “Hiding in the Light” by January of 2011. HTL, in his words, will be “..a blend of both natural and electronic sounds designed to make you both move your feet and quench your soul.” Jump over to Amp Live’s site to vote for his remix, as he’s currently in the top 20 and the contest ends on the 22nd. I also included his track, Mystic Garden Party Mashup, just cuz it’s dope. Check some more of his tracks out on Soundcloud, and head over to his Myspace for his acoustic/analog work

Donnis

Hohme — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 20:21:47 +0000

One of the artists I’ve had the pleasure to see rise from zero to hero is Donnis. As consistent as ever, he’s back with his new mixtape, Fashionably Late. You can literally see how quickly he’s risen solely on the long list of familiar names featured within the new mixtape. Hosted by Dj Ill Will, Clinton Sparks, and DJ Rockstar, Fashionably Late features the likes of Estelle, Yelawolf, OJ Da Juiceman, Colin Munroe, and John Legend and is packed with a bunch of club bangers and familiar samples. Lucky for you guys, it’s available for free download by clicking here. I picked two tracks produced by Ced Young, which I can’t stop listening to. Enjoy them and check out Donnis’s Myspace here and his site here.

I managed to pack 75 artist into 77 minutes of, once again, the newest and best in House, Electro, Disco, Trance, and of course some filthy dubby Dubstep to close it out.

dRvA

Hohme — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 20:04:01 +0000

Welcome Hohme’s favorite anti-hero’s back letting me exclusively leak two new tracks from his upcoming EP High Tops & Hand Rolls. We all got a look at his track, Spliff, a few months back and fast forward to now, it’s one of my top read posts yet on the site. These two new tracks are bangers…not just because of the production quality but because of the high level of relatability his lyrics speak to the people in my age group (everyday 20-somethings). This is the kind of off-the-wall stuff that gets picked up, and thus, I’m looking forward to see this new talent make his come up. If you’re looking to grab the whole EP, click here to download.

Amanda Jenssen

Hohme — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 07:00:59 +0000

Amanda Jenssen’s track, Do You Love Me, has been one of my favorite songs since I found it back in when I was traveling in Nepal in spring 2008. Even to this day I’m surprised how few people know who she is. I play it nearly every set I DJ and almost every time someone asks me who it is. Well….it’s Amanda Jenssen…and she’s awesome. Most notably, she was a finalist in Sweden’s version of American Idol back in 2007. Since then, she’s released two albums, and they’re both solid. Check her Myspace out here and her site here.

Theophilus London Pt. 1

Hohme — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 07:01:48 +0000

I’m not sure if it’s Theophilus himself or his management, or whatever….but whoever’s behind this guy is smart. If you want a clear look into a near perfect model of what marketing should be in the current music industry, look no further than him. He dominates the blogs, he collaborates with the best producers and the hippest musicians, and focuses on the most important thing, live performances. Those of you who you know me, know my strong opinion about the music industry. My boy Loren Wohl, over at RCRDLBL, really hit it on the head in his post regarding Theopilus’s new free-for-download album, I Want You

“Theophilus works this [live performances, corporate endorsements, and licensing] to his advantage. Click over to his MySpace and you’ll see that he’s performing all over the world. Last October He teamed up with Mark Ronson and Sam Sparro to create Chauffeur, releasing a track to promote Ronson’s Gucci boat-sneaker. Mountain Dew’s Green Label Sound put out “Humdrum Town” with a music video in January. I Want You is his 3rd mixtape, hyped to the max and stuffed with uncleared samples. That’s another cool thing, when you take money off of the table artists can express themselves without limits. Yes, this is still illegal, but would Whitney Houston really sue him over a track that didn’t have a proper release?
What can aspiring artists learn from him? Make music that’s different (and awesome, of course), give it away for free, wait for the right opportunities, and don’t stop making music.” -Loren Wahl

Definitely head over to Theophilus’s blog to download the album for free, also, check out his Myspace for upcoming live performances. Also click here to check out two more additional track from his album.

Theophilus London Pt. 2

Hohme — Wed, 09 Jun 2010 07:00:39 +0000

….continued from previous post.

eRNEST&AMz

Hohme — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 17:21:37 +0000

eRNEST&AMz are an up and coming French and American electro/hip-hop collaboration sure to make their mark on the scene relatively soon. The group’s made up of Ernest Saint Laurent, a producer/multi-instrumentalist out of Paris, and Amz, a vocalist/DJ/producer out of NY. Their new remix of Miike Snow’s Sylvia is a banger….check it out along with another new track of theirs, Coming Up. Head over to their Myspace for additional tracks and info.

Louis La Roche

Hohme — Tue, 27 Apr 2010 21:44:31 +0000

This dude is the real deal. He’s produced like 5 of my favorite tracks of 2010 thus far. If you haven’t heard of him yet, get familiar…..he’s young, talented, and on the serious come-up. I dropped one of his newest tracks, Prick Stick, at Norwood last Saturday and the place went nuts…the same happened at Apotheke last night. Check him out on his site or his Myspace….you can also check us both out on Dubset. Enjoy the bangers, hohmies.

Example

Hohme — Fri, 23 Apr 2010 04:00:40 +0000

Damnit I love this remix so much….and not just because his name rhymes with mine. You may remember it from my most recent mix, Going Internal. Moam’s take on Example’s Watch the Sun Come Up is a banger, not only because of it’s full sound and gratifying ups & downs but because every time I play it live, it makes my heart smile …I wish only the same or better upon you. Oh and I also added another remix by Devil’s Gun, which is great as well. Check out Example out here, Moam here, and Devil’s Gun here.

Mamarazzi

Hohme — Mon, 19 Apr 2010 19:21:21 +0000

To call Mamarazzi a talented group of individuals would be a complete understatement. I’ve probably seen them live over ten times since I moved to NY, and their eclectic blend of Afro-beat/funk/jazz/hip-hop/soul is unmatched. I was lucky enough to be asked to remix their hit song, Gangster, a few months back, which I ardently agreed to do. Well, after two busy months, I finally put the wraps on the remix. Hope you all enjoy my dancy take on it….oh yea, and don’t forget to change the light bulb.

Chew Fu

Hohme — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 00:01:04 +0000

One of the best pop/dance remixers out there currently, Chew Fu, out of BK, really knows what he’s doing. In fact, instead of a remixer, he likes to call himself a serial fixer, which I agree with. For the most part, his renditions are better than the originals….take for instance this fix of Rihanna’s Rude Boy. You’d never catch me listening to the original, but once he dropped this one, literally could not stop listening to it. I wrote about his Lady Gaga Bad Romance remix a while ago as well as featured him on my last two mixes, Nowism, and Going Internal…..so needless to say, he’s worth checking out….read his blog here and his Myspace here. Oh and as a little bonus, I included his awesome fix of the Ben E. King’s 60’s hit, Stand By Me, which he did with Steve Clisby. Enjoy hohmies.

Volta Cab

Hohme — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 03:32:30 +0000

Volta Cab is a fresh, new Russian electro outift seeking to send it’s listeners straight into the future. Once I heard them for the first time, I couldn’t stop listening…and I still can’t. That’s why I sampled not one, but two of their tracks on my recent mix, Going Internal. Their sound is full and synthy, just how I like it. Can’t wait to see what else they’ve got in store, but until then, peep their Myspace.

Rusko

Hohme — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 03:28:52 +0000

Rusko’s huge…if you know dubstep, his name is pretty much synonomous with the genre. He just released Da Cali Anthem, which is a BANGER, as it should be with a name like that. Enjoy this one as I’m sure it’ll be popular very quickly as well as another track of his, Your On My Mind Baby. Check Rusko out here and keep it rockin

Ellie Goulding Part 2

Hohme — Wed, 24 Mar 2010 03:23:19 +0000

…and here’s two recent remixes of her hit, Starry Eyed. I posted Jakwob’s remix a while back, which you can check out here, but this time it’s Penguin Prison with Theophilus London and Russ Chimes.

Hohme

Hohme — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 02:21:59 +0000

I dropped my newest quarterly mix, Going Internal, eight days ago to overwhelming positive feedback….in fact, it achieved over 1200 downloads in the first week after it’s release. The mix features nearly 80 artists, seamlessly blending together the newest and best in electro-pop, house, trance, and dubstep.

Fixd

Hohme — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 07:24:45 +0000

Got some more heavy ish for ya. Fixd, based in Melbourne, found me on twitter a few months back and I’m glad they did. Check out this original of theirs, called Hurricane as well as a remix of Muse’s Undisclosed Desires. They’re main intention is to move people…well I dare you not to move at right about 1:20 into Hurricane. Hit up their site, Myspace, and their Soundcloud for a bunch of other tracks.

Breakbot

Hohme — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 08:25:44 +0000

Breakbot, off the the notorious Ed Banger Records (Justice, Mehdi, Busy P, etc.), just put himself on a whole new level with this single Baby I’m Yours. Seriously, I dare anyone to come up with a funkier bass line then that. Also, as a little bonus, I added an older Pnau remix of his. Enjoy and check out his Myspace here…I can’t stop playing this song.
