Dirty Super Car – Get a Grip (The Loops of Fury Remix)

Grand Hotel Records

Fresh tunes from brand-spanking new label Grand Hotel Records. They shared this great remix of Dirty Super Car’s “Get a Grip” with us and we just had to pass it along.

The Loops of Fury have made this into a groaning creature, ever-building, with a bassline that adds a great rhythm and proper weight to the tune. The samples found in the tune are from Chaka Khan’s “Hold Her Now”, which gives the remix a nice flair in parts. This tune isn’t a straight up monster, it has some diva in it.

Oh and to celebrate this, their debut release, which drops March 22nd everywhere, Grand Hotel is doing a takeover at Matter with some pretty big heavyweights! Here’s the details from the label:

Each release will coincide with major Grand Hotel label events at either matter or Fabric, beginning with the launch of the labels residency at matter on 19th March, before expanding nationwide later on in the year. The launch night will feature an all-star line up including live performances from Vitalic (V Mirror Show Live) and The Japanese Popstars, plus with DJ support from Plump DJs and Ed Banger favourite Feadz. Room 2 will be hosted by Kiss FM’s Joe Ransom alongside very special guests Joe Goddard (Hot Chip), Duke Dumont, Riva Starr and Oliver $.

Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP – We No Speak Americano

Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP - We No Speak Americano

Australian record label Sweat It Out releases some dope tunes, but this one…this is probably my favorite tune they’ve ever put out.

Yolanda Be Cool & DCUP have created a fantastic house/techno funk hybrid track with an old-school sample that just begs you to bop your head in happiness. Seriously, it’s such a funky tune that you can’t help but having fun when you hear it or play it out.

If you’re a fan of Riva Starr’s “I Was Drunk”, you will without a doubt love this tune.

VDRK & OCD Automatic – Tell My Love

Months in the making, this fantastic tune was crafted by two amazingly talented friends of ours, VDRK and OCD Automatic. Their partnership in the realm of music began when a disco mothership dropped them above Wisconsin. Fast forward to 2010 and here they are with their massive debut, the disco house anthem “Tell My Love.”

Originally to be a Subdrive retail release (and track 14 on our Summer from Below mix), we loved the tune so much we decided to give it away for free! So with that I’m proud and excited to share this with you all, one of my favorite tunes this year, and one I hope will give these guys the attention they deserve.

Phonat – Set Me Free (video)

Though everyone’s talking about Drop the Lime’s new tune of the same name featuring the amazing Carrie Wilds on vocals, producer Phonat has his own “Set Me Free”, which couldn’t be any more different genre wise.

A retro guitar driven hook with chopped vocals and a catchy melody, fans of DatA, Ratatat, and Alex Metric will love Phonat. The tune easily crosses over into pop but still has a fresh feel. Equally, the video is visually eye-popping with some really great animation and editing.

Pick up the tune plus the rest of the release on iTunes now.

Thanks to Matt Ashley for the heads up!

Groove Armada – I Won’t Kneel (video)

Groove Armada are back with their new single “I Won’t Kneel” featuring the vocal style of SaintSavior. It’s the first release of the duo’s upcoming new album Black Light out February 23, 2010 in the US.

“I think even people who’ve hated everything we’ve ever made before could absolutely love this record. I’m incredibly proud of it. If I could leave just one album of ours behind, there is absolutely no question as to which one it would be.” – Andy Cato of Groove Armada

The guys say they didn’t want to rehash their old sound, saying that would be too easy, and instead were inspired by many of the performers this year at their Lovebox music festival. Andy explains “They’re the ones really leading the charge, making genuinely exciting, dance-informed music. And that sound really pushed us back towards people like Bowie, Gary Numan, New Order, Fleetwood Mac and Roxy Music.”

You can pick up the new single, including remixes from Mock & Toof, the Bloody Beetroots, and more on iTunes now.
