Top 10 DJ Chart

KOS [Various artists]

When I join Nic Fanciulli on tour on Thursday, I’ll also get the chance to hang out with KOS who is one of the most promising new DJ talents from the UK.

With both Nic and James Zabiela heavily supporting the London-based producer and DJ, and KOS [a] on the books of the influential DJ agencies Bullitt bookings and Club Class, there are plenty of people tipping him for greater things.

KOS put together this Global Underground pre-tour Top 10 DJ chart for us, which showcases the deep techno and house sound that has become synonymous with his popular Familia club nights in Britain. It also gives some clue as to what to expect from him during the tour.

Pompadour

Chelonis R. Jones [Systematic Recor...

There’s something about Chelonis R. Jones’ voice that suits dark house music, and as such, his music is well crafted for Marc Romboy’s Systematic Recordings and the likes of Get Physical.

‘Pompadour’ is the second single to be released from Chelonis R. Jones [a] album ‘Chatterton’, and is one of the LP’s more epic, end-of-the-night tracks.

Dimitri From Paris [Various artists...

France officially recognised Dimitri From Paris’ contribution to music by awarding him a Knight of the Arts and Letters in February 2005, so intrinsic has he been to the country’s development of house music.

Dimitri uploaded his first ever DJ chart to Beatport this week, and it shows how the award-winning producer, remixer and DJ is firmly rooted in ‘70s funk and disco. He loves uplifting soulful vocal house music and listening to it just makes you want to break out the flares and roll on down to the roller disco.

Nick Curly’s unstoppable rise continues with the introduction of a new series of EPs on his trend-setting label Cecille [l].

Two Of A Kind

Steve Bug [Poker Flat]

Poker Flat [l] label owner Steve Bug [a] lets loose the first single from his fourth artist album, which will surely whet more than a few appetites.

Having recently celebrated 100 releases and 10 years in the business, Poker Flat seems unstoppable and this release is a fine example of the kind of quality deep techno and house the label touts.

When Bad People Cook Good Food

Various [Fresh Meat]

Mazi Namvar, label head of Fresh Meat [l] and pioneer of the new school Chicago house sound, suggested in a recent interview that the city’s bubbling talent was alive and well, percolating to the surface from the underground.

On a mission to further the cause, Fresh Meat has released a monster of an LP comprised of a Grade A cut of what’s been happening on the imprint lately.

‘When Bad People Cook Good Food’ is a compilation covering the first three years of the Chicago label, with a whole roster of top notch talent showing up to take a bow.

FXHE Catalogue

Omar S [FXHE Records]

Beneath his notorious, expletive-filled bravado – more befitting of the muthafuckin’ streetz of CPT than his celebrated hometown of Detroit – we at Beatport have been privileged enough to see a softer side to Omar S.

How could we have anything bad to say about the most hyped member of Motor City’s already über-hyped third generation when he celebrates Beatport’s 5th birthday by giving us his entire oeuvre to date on an exclusive basis?!

Lonely One

Motor City Drum Ensemble [20:20 Vis...

Danilo Plessow of Stuttgart, Germany, known for his ‘Raw Cuts’ releases on his own MCDE imprint, finds an even deeper, subterranean voice under his Motor City Drum Ensemble [a] moniker on this debut release for 20:20 Vision Recordings.

Here we get a dose of the emerging ‘nu’ deep house sound, while still keeping in line the mindset formed by the earlier days of Detroit.

For The Lost

The Mole [Internasjonal]

Who exactly does The Mole [a] belong to? Disparate imprints have housed his ever-green grooves across the course of his fruitful journey; Philpot [l], Kompakt [l], Spectral Sound [l] and of course Wagon Repair [l] have all offered him a room at the inn at one point or another.

The fact is, the The Mole’s output seems to fit glove-like wherever it resides; none more so perhaps than Internasjonal [l], the sparkling release arm of Mr. Prins Thomas [a].

Top 10 DJ Chart

The Martinez Brothers [Various]

Chris is 17, Stevie is 20. Both are churchgoing kids from the Bronx and their dad stands guard next to them at every gig.

That doesn’t sound like the kind of background you’d expect from a hotly tipped club duo, but The Martinez Brothers [a] are an anomaly set for big things in 2009.

Garuna EP

Gorge [8 Bit]

Functional. Hardly a glowing adjective to begin a music recommendation with but this would be the most accurate term with which to describe 8Bit [l] boss Gorge’s latest musical offering.

Confusingly ditching his Reclick [a] moniker he usually dons for the label, Gorge [a] issues a double dose of ‘floor-focused fodder; one of which works wonderfully, and one that well, sort of does.
