We’ve been Santiago & Bushido fans for a long time, and not just because they delivered a stand-out remix on our first EP. The dudes are very talented producers as well as DJs, rocking crowds across the globe and putting work out on labels like Om Records, Steve Aoki’s Dim Mak and Green Velvet’s Cajual just to name a few.

When this remix of Mr. V, one of NYC’s legendary hip-house producers, popped up on our radar we were definitely curious. Immediately on listening we had to post this up; it’s big room techy bliss and it will slam your speakers!

Last week’s Five Ways Not To Get Your Music heard was a lot of fun, so we’re going to try and concoct a list each week. Feel free to add to the list in the comments.

Top 5 Ways To Ruin A Party:

1. Throw up on the dance floor.
2. Spill your drink into the DJ equipment.
3. Obnoxiously hit on all the cute people, causing them to feel awkward and leave.
4. Show up in an entire outfit of faux fur and talk about Burning Man all night.
5. Breakdance. Badly.

Eric Sharp & Bass Cadet have a new track out on the first release of Tommie Sunshine’s Brooklyn Fire label. This is an exciting development for Tommie and for our artists, please check it out and show your support!

Release date: OUT NOW

V/A – Fire House One [Brooklyn Fire 001] by Brooklyn Fire

FIRE HOUSE ONE
Various Artists

The first release from Tommie Sunshine’s new imprint Brooklyn Fire comes Fire House One – a collection of Brooklyn Fire residents and some-time collaborators hand picked by Sunshine himself.

This is a statement as well as a collection gathered with care from the wealth of musical talent budding up all over the world:

Jon Kennedy drags us through Dutch House by way of Chi-town. Figure shows us how UK Bassline sounds coming from Middle America. Dan Aux from New Zealand does big room Dutch the Kiwi way. Eric Sharp & Bass Cadet parade through how San Francisco plays House. TJR is the East Coast collision of Fidget & Acid. Australia’s R!M!E does Favela Dutch to the extreme And a cinematic end of the nighter from Northern Ireland’s Screendeath rounds out this eclectic package.

Up next for the Brooklyn Fire is Fire House Two, another collection of tracks showing the spectrum and musical landscape of this new label.

This party is going to be ridiculous. We are bringing 3 time DMC World Turntablist champion DJ Craze together with J-Wow of Buraka Som Sistema (signed to Diplo’s Mad Decent label) and Trackademicks of Fool’s Gold & Honor Roll at Public Works, a brand spanking new venue with a delicious Funktion-One sound system. If you are anywhere near the Bay Area, get on this!

We have here for you today a remix of J-Wow’s two originals “Spark” the A-side and “Fogo” on the B which came out on October 19th through Enchufada. Canblaster, a French DJ, melded these two songs together producing acid house synths, strict 808 snare thwacks and muscular clenches of dubstep bass resulting in five-minutes of dancing-your-heart-out.

J-Wow, whose given name is Joao, is a DJ/producer who is in a band Buraka Som Sistema and has recently launched a solo career. Buraka Som Sistema’s music is a fusion of Angolan Kuduro music played in Lisbon clubs with 21st century electronics. BSS has collaborated with the likes of MIA and had very successful world tours. This Saturday J-Wow along with DJ Craze and Trackademicks will be working the floor and getting the crowd crazy at Public Works in San Francisco. Come and get in on the action. Grab your tickets on the Events page.

Disclaimer: this has absolutely nothing to do with Rock It Science Laboratories. It is just too full of awesome and we can’t refrain from posting it here. Please, indulge us; you’ll be glad you did. We can only hope that one day someone will make a fan video of a Rock It Science track that is anywhere close to this amazing. Seriously this makes Milli Vanilli look like complete amateurs.

RIS002: NATIVE INTELLIGENCE “PEAK TIME”

Ft Remixes by:
SUNSHINE JONES, DZ, CASEY DC, and S.I.M.O. & NATIVE INTELLIGENCE

Peak Time – the second explosive EP off the Rock It Science Laboratories label – is not just a unique and well rounded package, it’s a state of mind. It’s that moment when the dance floor is reaching it’s energetic climax, the DJ has built up the vibe, and everyone is completely in sync with that amazing feeling that you only get when you are connected to that higher source, really feeling the vibration and losing track of time.

Native Intelligence, known for writing great lyrics and attaching them to pounding original tracks, has belted out a true dance floor classic with his first release on Rock It Science Laboratories. Immediately launching you into the outer space regions of his musical mind, Native takes you on a gliding journey where the key pads sparkle like stars and bass warps like galaxies spiralling. Sunshine Jones, founding member of the pioneering Dubtribe Soundsystem and producer of classics such as Do It Now, Mother Earth, and many more brings in the light with his mature Extended Disco Remix creating a happier and joyous version of the intensely wobbling original. DZ ravishes our ears on the other end of planet Peak Time. This man on fire with recent remixes on Fool’s Gold, Mad Decent, and many more as well a a slew of original works on his Badman Press label drops yet another dubstep ripper. CaseyDC comes correct with his Purple Hills remix. Bouncy and thick, this mix is reminiscent of the Dirtybird sound we’ve come to know and love. S.I.M.O. & Native Intelligence bring a fierce and darker version of Peak Time compared to the original.

Check out previews on our Releases page and grab Peak Time at your favorite online music store. Thanks for your continued support!
